curious…. if yr a fan of burton, are you familiar with any of roman dirge’s work? particuraly his lenore series. i’m pretty sure ypu can check it out at spookyland.com, but if not try spookyworld.com. one’s a horror based theme park site, and the other is roman’s site.
his latest book has a wonderful dedication to the effect of ‘to so and so who inspired this work. i hope you live a long and fufilling life, but die a slow agonizing death.’

nirvana: the peak of beautiful self referential irony and deprecation for it’s time. it was the epitomy of suburban whitebread ‘i’d tell you but you wouldn’t understand anyway’ angst. god i loved it, i wallowed in it, wore eyeliner and cut myself to it. at 4 pm you had yr daily mtv workout with eric on the grind and then at 5 you could shoot up and puke on yr platinum records that paid for that smack with kurt.
i think kids were tired of cock rocker parties. we (or at least me) needed a much more fashionable self destruction. ‘chez’ guevera if you will.
i think a friend of mine said it best when he said:
‘yeah dude, I’m all with you on that s**t, f**k a bunch of anti-Nirvana anti-bainicism, so yeah, dude, Nirvana rules! So do chico-sticks, oh wait sorry, chic-o-stick candy, yeah dude, that s**t f***ing rules, not as much as Nirvana, but, it was there before Kurt, it’s more deeply ingrained into the shape and structure of my subjective sensation of self and like… my aura, so therefore if it came down to a split decision, definitely chic-o-stic, I’d make Kurt go and like shoot himself in the foot or something, or maybe like shoot some opiate, like Vick’s liquid cough syrup, but like that band dokken, I some them once when I was 10 at an ultimate warrior wrestling match and my dad ran out into the ring and pissed on the girl who holds up the little cards, man the ultimate warrior really beat his a**, he grabbed an electric back massager from the side of the ring, just cuz all the chairs were fake, and like I think that my dad cried, I haven’t seen my father Pedalupe from that day forth, but my mom tells me the story of the man who finally realized the ultimate pleasure of pissing on a chick holding a sign with a big number on it, and Nirvana f***ing rules.’

my only regret was that i never got the chance to have his abortion.

i believe rosa said it quite eloquently, people do tend to latch onto subcultures as a way to make up for insecurities in their personality… or at least i’ve always thought so.
reminds me of the tree house of horror (8 i think), with the homega man.
‘but aqau man, you cannot marry a woman without gills..’
comic shop owner looks up to see the nuclear missile aimed right for him.
‘i’ve wasted my life…’
and detonation.

dj spooky’s ‘necropolis.’
the subtle empty jazz of modem chirps. was the first album to show me that music is just sound and silence arranged in space. might’ve had something to do with the fact that i was reading the ‘i ching’ at the time….
