i want to clarify, though, that the communications coming out of the ndp around this are not indicating that they understand the problem.
i mean, this is two beardos in a row, guys. c'mon. what are you thinking?
apparently, niki ashton is crying sexism - and my intuition is that she's on to something, but it's less of an anti-woman thing and more of a legitimate cult of male virility. there's a long history of this on the left.
to these people, the beard is some kind of show of masculinity. and, i don't even want to have that debate, i just want to reject the idea that i want the prime minister to be the fucking dos equis guy. why don't they just go get putin?
one of the things they're floating around is this idea that singh should win by default because his beard clearly annihilates trudeau's pirate goatee. but, guess what, guys? trudeau doesn't have the pirate goatee anymore - because his pr strategists identified it as evil, burned it off his face with a blowtorch and then buried the fumes at chalk river.
i tried to tell them with mulcair, too, y'know. but it was the same hipster bullshit.
i bet jagmeet singh would do wonderfully at a community council meeting in brooklyn. but, most people actually have a very strong dislike for hipsters.

i've decided that, so long as jagmeet singh is leader of the ndp, i will campaign for him to cut his beard.
he won't win with that thing on his face. that is obvious.
so, will he put his party and his country ahead of himself, or will he insist on maintaining a selfish and narcissistic anti-fashion decision at the expense of the people that are counting on him to win?
if he can cut the beard, he can go a long way to proving that he's reasonable, and that his religious views won't affect his politics - but if he refuses to budge on this, he proves he's driven more by his religious convictions than by rational considerations, and he disqualifies himself from high office.
i'm serious: this is the litmus test.

i mean, this is why the ndp never gets anywhere.
at exactly the point where the planet is pushing back hard against liberal elitism, it runs an end-around it's own members to put a liberal elitist in charge, in order to better appeal to other liberal elitists.
they do this - not this exactly, but this level of cluelessness - over and over again.
and, what are the liberals doing? they're reacting to the information on the ground as best they can, and trying to create a political position out of taxing those same liberal elitists - because they can at least grasp what's happening around them.

she gets upset that people think that singh is a closet liberal, then
accuses the members of not being "tolerant and inclusive" - which is
boilerplate milquetoast neo-liberalism.
being progressive does not mean being "tolerant and inclusive", it means leaving the world of superstitions in the past. that's what the members have been getting across.
and, i'm not interested in being "tolerant and inclusive", because i'm not a liberal, i'm a socialist.
but, this whole debate is going to go over these peoples' heads. it's the end of history, after all.
people will vote in the end, and the liberal elite that currently runs the ndp will need to get the lesson the hard way - despite the fact that it could have learned the easy way by reading the news.

so, i was absolutely mortified of george w. bush considerably before it was cool.
clinton had some problems, and gore was, at the time, a cartoon character; if you want to blame it on something other than the rain (and the moon and the stars), you should blame it on low turnout - something that was largely probably spurred on by the assumption that bush couldn't possibly actually win. well, maybe it was a fitting way to end the 90s. here's your apathy, kids. served cold. ice cold. cold as the blood of a shape-shifting lizard person...and cold as the blood on it's hands.
of course, standing in the spring of 2000, i had no way of knowing what was about to be unleashed. i was mostly still just pissed at clinton for bombing medicine factories in the sudan. i mean, the level of assholery underlying it was just.....the threat of "terrorism" could hardly justify that kind of indiscriminate bombing....fucking medicine factories...
the way i interpreted it was something more along the lines of this half-evolved hominid of undisclosed type slowly riding into town on horseback (with cronies in tow, including one with a yellow hat). it felt like you could see him coming days in the distance. it was unclear what was going to happen when he got to town, but it felt ominous. there was nothing to do but just wait, maybe prepare a little and ultimately hope for the best, even while bracing for the worst.
so, i did what i do - i wrote a conceptual piece about it with the intent of raising awareness. even just amongst friends would help, if they'd talk. etc.
...or, well, i sort of did, anyways. see, i lost a hard drive around this period, and most of the song along with it. what is posted here is a 90% done version that i thought i had lost completely but stumbled upon a few months after the election, after i had moved. given the circumstances, i'm lucky that i found this at all. however, it's remained unreleased as a cohesive piece all of these years.
well, the election was over. it was no longer worthwhile to finish it. i suppose that if i was operating on a profit motive, or a desire for control, i would have finished it. instead, i just felt like i failed to warn people, and it actually put me into a pretty deep depression for a while. it was too late, i blew it, we're fucking doomed....finishing it wouldn't matter....nothing mattered anymore...
listening to it now, it could maybe use a bass part. all this was really missing, though, were the vocals - which were also lost on the hard drive. i have no recollection of them at all at this point and don't see the value in making new ones up.
i did have the first and second section put aside somewhere, on a cd-r. i was able to fill that up with samples and get it out just before the election, and it also ended up sequenced into deny everything. so, it wasn't a total loss.
as for this suite, though? i present it as i've recovered it, with no further comment than that it accurately represents the deep, foreboding fear of the future that was in the air around the period that bush was elected.
this is a song cycle.
recorded in spring, 2000. released, unmodified, in jan, 2014. release finalized on oct 3, 2017. as always, please use headphones.
this release also includes a printable jewel case insert and will also eventually include a comprehensive package of journal entries from all phases of production (1999, 2014, 2017).

track 1...
i can date this well, and report that this was the initial idea of the track. if you read the books (and i'd advise against reading these to your kids), there's actually a fairly graphic section at the beginning where george is captured from the jungle by the man with the yellow hat.
the man with the yellow hat really comes off as a dick.
anyways, that's what's going on here with this.
the cd-r i found has an early version of acidosis followed by this suite. over time, i began to interpret the jungle sounds as being more connected to acidosis than to this suite and this did end up there, in modified form, as 'life goes on' (jasonparent.bandcamp.com/track/life-goes-on). that being said, the version attached to acidosis was reconstructed from the initial samples because i lost this collage when my hard drive crashed...
the source files (along with the files for part 2) are dated to the end of april, which seems roughly right.
what i did was get a bunch of jungle sounds together and let sound raider mess with them. i then created a file in audiomulch that produced some exotic drum effects and adds in some unusual noises.
it's an atmospheric track in either context.

track 2...
this section was augmented with samples:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/curious-george-2
it was also released on deny everything:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/deny-everything
musically, the track is a combination of an experiment with an idea. i should note that this suite together is maybe the first original track in the style that dominates my output over the next few years, even if it's incomplete (albeit hereby decreed complete). the idea was about creating "guitar symphonies" (and while i was aware of the work of oldfield and fripp, and of sonic youth and gybe!, branca was a black hole for me at the time) in a minimalist, electronic framework that most readily draws to mind the work of trent reznor. this is the first of many expressions and evolutions of that idea. the experiment was with a program called "leaf drums", which is a fairly basic drum machine except in it's ability to manipulate samples with effects in realtime (remember that this is the spring of 2000). once i had that loop running, i started playing some of the riffs i had put aside for the guitar symphony, mostly just to play around with them. it stuck far better than i expected....and that's really the extent of the track.
the bush sample at the beginning is a constructed loop rather than a direct quote. he was talking about gore - "this guy would say anything to get elected, i'd...". that was flipped around to "i'd say anything to get elected" and looped. well, at this point i don't think anybody is going to stand up for bush' honesty or credibility. regardless, the way i looped it purposefully pans it to make it obvious that it's not a direct quote.
the lost version was built up considerably further than this; this version has three guitar parts, the lost version had closer to ten. i was too focused on getting the samples together to worry about re-recording the guitar parts. i don't remember them at this point and will not make up new ones. to be honest, this is far easier to listen to, and, while i mourn the loss of the completed version, i'm actually happy that i kept a more stripped down one.

track 3....
if i could find a source for the "people who are going to commit crimes shouldn't have guns" quote, i could maybe date this better. unfortunately, i suspect google has done some scrubbing for the bush family, which is a scary thought. i think it was early may, but it may be a little later.
i can't remember if i finished most of this, put it aside for later, recorded acidosis and then lost the hard drive OR if i finished the very beginning of this, recorded acidosis, then recorded the second half of this and then lost the drive. meaning, this is either early may or it's mid-september.
there's a number of reasons to lean towards may, though. the drums, firstly. there are not live drum parts in any of the material recorded from mid-may forwards. that indicates that they weren't available to play. second, i remember the early summer sun hitting me when recording the fourth part - and specifically in the hilliard basement, rather than the lexington basement i'd move to over the fall. there's a kind of nausea attached to the mid -season sun that only occurs in april/may and sept/oct.
musically, this extends out of the previous experiment, but it's easy to hear that that is an introduction to this, that this was meant to be the song that that leads into. as the big, ridiculous arena-rock tune it is? it holds up well. note that the aim was to push a message, and the arena rock theme wasn't an accident. this was supposed to be the take-away, the radio play, the thing that got stuck in your head.
i never added a bass track and don't see a point in doing so now. however, what is actually lost is really solely a heavily vocoded vocal track. i won't re-do it. i'll explain it a little. the theme underlying the curious george analogy was one of seeing bush as a corporate puppet. wherever george went, the man in the yellow hat would follow - to oversee, influence and ultimately dominate. i wasn't taking the analogy very far, i was simply drawing it with the aim of hoping that people would educate themselves about the dangers that he posed.

track 4...
this was meant to be instrumental, and wouldn't have been modified in any way except maybe to embiggen the end part. i didn't expect to ever release this, so i raided the track for inclusion in ftaa:

republishing inri036
this is a collection of three tracks that were recorded in late '99 and early '00 with the intent of being included on record number three ('trinri') but were either discarded or stripped of samples on the way there. the purpose of this ep is not to be comprehensive, but to act as a transitional time capsule: this is the sound of exiting one project and entering another. as such, the narratives are scattered and better told separately.
trinri eventually became deny everything:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/deny-everything
written and recorded in late 1999 and early 2000. these versions of these tracks were sequenced without further modification in jan, 2014. remainder of hummer added as a bonus track, and release finalized, on oct 3, 2017. as always, please use headphones.
this release also includes a printable jewel case insert and will also eventually include a comprehensive package of journal entries from all phases of production (1999, 2014, 2017).

track 1...
this was initially written to be the first track on my third record, which i was calling trinri as a working title. yet, it was written about the same time as i was finishing up my covers disc. i wanted to add at least one more track to the disc to make it a bit longer. for whatever reason, i ended up using it as an introduction to the hummer cover, rather than as it's own track.
record number three, deny everything, ended up with it's own introduction. however, i've pulled it out here, in instrumental form - and as an introduction to this ep.
the hummer cover is here:

track 2...
so, this is an interesting thing to have sitting on my shelf. it's the 'i have a dream' speech, orchestrated with some soaring guitars.
i should point out immediately that i got a lawsuit thrown at me by the king estate when i tried to upload this to mp3.com back in early '00. i thought that was really trite, but it's not really a legal battle i want to have. i would react more or less the same way should i be threatened a second time, except to point out this time that it's fair use so long as i remove the price tag and basically just do that.
the story behind the song is not very remarkable. the working title for the track was just 'progblues thing'. it was intended to be a structured instrumental guitar track that mixed the flair of hendrix with the minimalist structure of steve reich. the speech sort of came to it by accident.
it was also the result of my dad getting himself a drumkit for christmas that year, which my step-mother promptly placed in my bedroom as a disincentive for further use. score, i guess. but it didn't survive the move a few months later. in the mean time, i got some recordings out of it - as well as a few moderately crazy drunken weekend jam sessions.
i'll note that that christmas also produced a grand piano a few feet outside my door. it's intended recipient was my sister, but she wasn't around much. me? new pc, with a convenient recording interface, and some more functional microphones. despite talk of family jam spaces, one might suspect my father was actually conspiring in my favour. there is probably a great deal of truth in this suspicion. these conditions held for less than a year, but i made the most of them.
so, the idea of the track was initially about experimenting with the new reverb system built into my new soundcard interface, by triggering it with the drumkit that had recently magically appeared out of good fortune. it had been a few years since i'd played the kit much, and, unfortunately, it kind of does show. i had spent a little time practicing along with "nevermind" and "siamese dream" for a few weeks to get back in shape, but i wasn't really "there" yet at the time of this recording. i didn't want to program loops into the song, so i compensated by splicing the track up. of special interest in this wave editing is the backwards cymbals, and especially how they intersect with the soaring guitars.
and of those soaring guitars? a fairly simple blues pattern. sure is lovely, though, isn't it?
the speech became attached to the track when chance managed to have them playing simultaneously for me. i had cnn on in the corner. it was doing some kind of special on mlk, perhaps related to an anniversary that is related to a yearly holiday. placed together, it knocked me flat on my ass.
the idea in my mind from the start was integrationist, if not really consciously so. on the one hand, the guitar part is raw southern blues. on the other hand, the structure is sterile white minimalism. i didn't just realize this juxtaposition, i was trying to exploit it, even if the racial context hadn't occurred to me. when king's speech was played over it, though, the idea really exploded; the context became much deeper. it was an instant exponentiation in profundity.
i also thought it would work well as a foil to the doonesbury sample that is in the track that follows this one [entropy (original mix)].
in hindsight, there are some problems with this. i was a moderately wealthy white kid from canada. there was never much chance of me turning a profit on this, but if i did it would be a type of appropriation. this track does appear on the deny everything demo (jasonparent.bandcamp.com/track/a-commercial-break) but under the title of "a commercial break" - and without the dr. king samples. that's probably for the best.
that doesn't change the feeling i got when i first heard the two things together, or take away any of the power that the pairing produces.
i think this is worth sharing.
---
this was initially released as a download only ep. as of the fall of 2017, i have revisited this decision and reversed it: i need to have this release available in some capacity, and it follows that i'm being kind of silly in not offering the full range of options.
for example, if i were to offer the release as a download only, i'd have to offer it at $7, because it is original music, one way or the other. then, why wouldn't i offer it as a physical item? or, if i were to offer it as a $1 download and a normal physical offer, what am i doing besides punishing myself, really?
maybe i could say something about how it might have been better if i didn't create this, although i don't think that's really fair, either, as i do think it's worth sharing. but, i can't undo time. there's no "undo" button in reality. really. i've looked. strenuously.
i suppose that if i get sued i'll have to react, but i'm just going to treat this as any other release and carry on.
written and recorded in the winter of 1999/2000.

track 3...
this is an augmented experiment with a program called "sounder" that takes advantage of some obscure midi qualities to transport the act of triggering a note into the physical world. imagine a midi tennis ball that triggers at different intensities based on how hard the ball is thrown at a wall. now, imagine a frictionless space where that ball can bounce around indefinitely. sounder virtualizes this reality.
the experiment was augmented with synthesizer and guitar parts, and a sample of garry trudeau posing as a political candidate and being interviewed by larry king. i first interacted with that sample early in the morning in a deeply altered state and came to attach certain feelings to it that are difficult to describe. while it's clearly parody, it hit me as being frighteningly representative of reality. i suppose that all effective parody has this quality. perhaps my reaction speaks more of where i was at this point than anything else. i wasn't reacting well to the return of republicanism; i was very much dreading the future that i had no control in preventing. the absurd truth, here, cut me right down.
i was fucking baked.
eventually, i decided that the sample is just not worth listening to repeatedly and removed it from the track. an instrumental version is available on deny everything:

track 1...
this was initially written to be the first track on my third record, which i was calling trinri as a working title. yet, it was written about the same time as i was finishing up my covers disc. i wanted to add at least one more track to the disc to make it a bit longer. for whatever reason, i ended up using it as an introduction to the hummer cover, rather than as it's own track.
record number three, deny everything, ended up with it's own introduction. however, i've pulled it out here, in instrumental form - and as an introduction to this ep.

track 2...
so, this is an interesting thing to have sitting on my shelf. it's the 'i have a dream' speech, orchestrated with some soaring guitars.
i should point out immediately that i got a lawsuit thrown at me by the king estate when i tried to upload this to mp3.com back in early '00. i thought that was really trite, but it's not really a legal battle i want to have. i would react more or less the same way should i be threatened a second time, except to point out this time that it's fair use so long as i remove the price tag and basically just do that.
the story behind the song is not very remarkable. the working title for the track was just 'progblues thing'. it was intended to be a structured instrumental guitar track that mixed the flair of hendrix with the minimalist structure of steve reich. the speech sort of came to it by accident.
it was also the result of my dad getting himself a drumkit for christmas that year, which my step-mother promptly placed in my bedroom as a disincentive for further use. score, i guess. but it didn't survive the move a few months later. in the mean time, i got some recordings out of it - as well as a few moderately crazy drunken weekend jam sessions.
i'll note that that christmas also produced a grand piano a few feet outside my door. it's intended recipient was my sister, but she wasn't around much. me? new pc, with a convenient recording interface, and some more functional microphones. despite talk of family jam spaces, one might suspect my father was actually conspiring in my favour. there is probably a great deal of truth in this suspicion. these conditions held for less than a year, but i made the most of them.
so, the idea of the track was initially about experimenting with the new reverb system built into my new soundcard interface, by triggering it with the drumkit that had recently magically appeared out of good fortune. it had been a few years since i'd played the kit much, and, unfortunately, it kind of does show. i had spent a little time practicing along with "nevermind" and "siamese dream" for a few weeks to get back in shape, but i wasn't really "there" yet at the time of this recording. i didn't want to program loops into the song, so i compensated by splicing the track up. of special interest in this wave editing is the backwards cymbals, and especially how they intersect with the soaring guitars.
and of those soaring guitars? a fairly simple blues pattern. sure is lovely, though, isn't it?
the speech became attached to the track when chance managed to have them playing simultaneously for me. i had cnn on in the corner. it was doing some kind of special on mlk, perhaps related to an anniversary that is related to a yearly holiday. placed together, it knocked me flat on my ass.
the idea in my mind from the start was integrationist, if not really consciously so. on the one hand, the guitar part is raw southern blues. on the other hand, the structure is sterile white minimalism. i didn't just realize this juxtaposition, i was trying to exploit it, even if the racial context hadn't occurred to me. when king's speech was played over it, though, the idea really exploded; the context became much deeper. it was an instant exponentiation in profundity.
i also thought it would work well as a foil to the doonesbury sample that is in the track that follows this one [entropy (original mix)].
in hindsight, there are some problems with this. i was a moderately wealthy white kid from canada. there was never much chance of me turning a profit on this, but if i did it would be a type of appropriation. this track does appear on the deny everything demo (jasonparent.bandcamp.com/track/a-commercial-break) but under the title of "a commercial break" - and without the dr. king samples. that's probably for the best.
that doesn't change the feeling i got when i first heard the two things together, or take away any of the power that the pairing produces.
i think this is worth sharing.
---
this was initially released as a download only ep. as of the fall of 2017, i have revisited this decision and reversed it: i need to have this release available in some capacity, and it follows that i'm being kind of silly in not offering the full range of options.
for example, if i were to offer the release as a download only, i'd have to offer it at $7, because it is original music, one way or the other. then, why wouldn't i offer it as a physical item? or, if i were to offer it as a $1 download and a normal physical offer, what am i doing besides punishing myself, really?
maybe i could say something about how it might have been better if i didn't create this, although i don't think that's really fair, either, as i do think it's worth sharing. but, i can't undo time. there's no "undo" button in reality. really. i've looked. strenuously.
i suppose that if i get sued i'll have to react, but i'm just going to treat this as any other release and carry on.
written and recorded in the winter of 1999/2000.

for the record, and i guess this is directed at younger people that don't remember, but trump is not as bad as bush - neither on policy nor on...
bush was just completely clueless, most of the time. trump is often lost, or relying on scripted help, but it's just not on the same level. bush had difficulty following and answering questions, or even making it across the room a lot of time. he legitimately often did not know what his own officials were doing. and, he was frequently obviously fucked up on something.
i've posted here more than once that i'm still not sure which is the lesser evil: trump or clinton.
bush was in his own category. it was just impossible. surreal.

i'm procrastinating; i don't want to make a choice about this.
i think the closest precedent i have is to inri003, the inrisampled disc. that was transitional, and a self-contained ep, but it was used in the upcoming lp.
one thing i'm deciding upon: this is not an ep single, but an ep. that gives me the freedom to avoid making it comprehensive.
let me list my options:
1) download $1 + no physical, like inri032.
- this isn't consistent, because there is original music on this disc. only the hidden track is truly a cover.
2) download $1 + regular physical. hybrid. unique.
- i liked this at first, but it's kind of a cop-out: i'm just punishing myself, really. it's sort of silly.
3) download only at $7, like inri022. this was the initial choice.
but, i i'm going to put it up as a download, why not manufacture it?
4) download & physical at normal price, like any other ep.
yeah. after all.
i'm not 100% comfortable with this.
and i'll finish my write-up carefully.
but i'll do it.....

this hasn't happened in canada for a few decades.
but, we have a parliamentary system. what that means is that sitting ndp mps could theoretically leave the party and start a new one, or perhaps join the greens.
the party got hijacked, and this guy...i don't know, give him some time, maybe, but i don't think he's workable: outside of parliament, not certain to get in and probably more likely to become a long term joke than prime minister.
the ndp might not have a serious future, after this, anyways.
it should be contemplated.

i guess there's actually a story in the hebrew bible about this guy samson, that had superhuman strength because of his hair.
no - it's not a dc comic, it's in the bible.
and, the philistines captured him and cut his hair off, as he was holding the temple up, which led to it crashing - which i believe was a stolen greek story.
now, is it not true that any self-respecting leftist would hoot and guffaw if they heard a conservative start talking about the story of samson?
i'm not going to uphold a double standard, here. i'm going to treat him exactly the same way i'd treat a christian - same disdain, some dismissiveness.
in fact, i'm about to lose interest...
i'm just kind of flabbergasted that this has happened.
maybe his magic hair will give him the energy to overcome.

again: what exactly do you expect that i'm going to say to you after you've looked me in the eye, with a straight face, and claimed that your facial hair is "sacred" because it's "natural"?
do you expect me to respect that opinion?
because i'm more likely to laugh at you.
if you want to win this thing, you need to shave.

the particular problem was when you parked him next to trudeau. it really exaggerated the contrast.
trudeau is a good looking guy anyways, but he's far better looking when he's standing beside mulcair - and he will be even that much better looking when he's standing besides jagmeet singh, unless he mows that thing down, somehow.

step three: i know you like your beard, and i know the ndp is trying
to cultivate some kind of beardo counter-culture, but....if mulcair had
just gotten rid of it, he'd at least still have a job, right now.
yes: mulcair's beard was a major factor in his inability to connect with voters.
it's gotta go. if you're serious, that is.
the last canadian prime minister with facial hair was robert borden, and he was a complete asshole.
the turban is probably not a serious problem, but the beard must go.

listen.
if jagmeet singh were trying to represent the liberals or conservatives, we could have a discussion about whether an accusation of being 'full of hubris' is something like calling him 'uppity', although i'd deny that it actually is.
but, he's trying to represent the party of the working class - drawn largely from a combination of union members and low-income students. and, he's walking around in $5000 suits and $3000 watches, while showing no interest in connecting with constituents.
even if he was running for the liberals, that would be a bit much. as a dipper? he's a fish out of water, and he's just not going to connect with the base.
he's a snob.
i bet he drinks fucking perrier, right?
i've actually read some interviews where they get across the idea that he only puts the suits on for the camera, and he dresses like a normal person when there aren't cameras around.
step one, jagmeet: ditch your gq bullshit and start dressing like a member of the working class.

i think everybody is missing the point.
which constituents does mr. singh intend to represent? because he's already indicated that he's looking right past them.
do you know the last time we had a party leader with that kind of arrogance and hubris? michael ignatieff.

see, they think that their grassroots movement is being hijacked.
they don't realize the extent of it, or what the real point of the whole thing actually is.
to be clear: the cops are there. that's not up for debate. what i've claimed repeatedly for years is that they're not just there, but actually in charge.

i disagree with this; they've been taking responsibility for things they didn't do for years, but the media didn't see fit to question them.
i don't think they did the paris attacks, for example. i actually think that was the russians.

i'm glad that they didn't walk down this path, as they would have just ended up paying out damages.
i think that 'not criminally responsible' should mean no chance of parole, myself - it should be the strongest possible sentence, not a reason for leniency. reintegration necessitates an ability to understand what was done.
i'm more interested in this person's history of prescription drug use than i am in his reading habits on the internet.

here's the thing about gun control: whether it works or not depends on whether you want it. but, it's not at the actual root cause of anything, good or bad.
we have far more gun control in canada than in the united states, and we're able to enforce it - because we want it. gun control is actually quite popular, here. i'm 36 years old and i've actually never seen a gun before. nor do i feel like i'm missing out on anything.
but, is it the gun control that is the reason that we have less gun violence? no. rather, it's the fact that we don't have a culture of guns that makes us more willing to voluntarily uphold the rules around gun control.
this is how you get gun control to work: you have to get the community together to willingly destroy their arms. make it a party. a celebration.
this is how gun control doesn't work: you send cops around door-to-door demanding people hand over their weapons. then, they're moved underground, and the gun culture proliferates.
so, i'm broadly in favour of gun control. but, i know better than to think that it's going to solve the problems that america has with gun violence. these problems are cultural and need deeper fixes than that.

...i'm torn over what to do with this.
i understand why i shouldn't be selling it, but i also want the release inside of my physical discography. and the truth is that i'm not actually solving any problems if i put the thing up for download for the price of a physical disc, then don't offer it - i'm not actually addressing the problem i've posed for myself.
i have three releases that are cassette only. besides that, the only recordings i've left download only are inri022 (which is rejected tracks; this is not a really interesting release) and inri032 (which is a covers disc, and may be released some day - this is potentially temporary). these tracks were discarded, but they are not rejected in the same way that the ones on the rejected comp were. they were just remixed, actually.
i'm toying with the idea of flipping it around, and providing the download at a trivial price ($1) and offering the recording at a normal price. that would allow for the physical disc to exist in the collection, and yet allow for (almost) free downloads.
i need to nap. i'll work this out when i wake up.

something that stood out about donald trump during the primaries is that he campaigned strongly against dubya's legacy, including being highly critical of his katrina response. he stated repeatedly that he'd be a lot better.
and, the reason he sided with the democrats on the debt ceiling is that he didn't want to jeopardize relief funding, because he's aware of the political liabilities.
the error that joy reid made with this piece is that she published it too early, thereby demonstrating that she's attempting to frame a narrative.
i don't know what the reality is on the ground in puerto rico. i know that the official death toll is currently set at 16. and i know that the democrats are politicizng something that they ought not to be politicizing.

- the election of andrew scheer has put the socred/tory coalition in some serious jeopardy. he doesn't seem to have gotten any kind of a bump over the interim leader, who was probably a better choice for prime minister. given that inter-election polling always overestimates tory support (due to undecideds), this 30-33% polling average is probably something more like 25-28%, and these are approaching historic lows. these trendlines are old, and almost nothing was going to reverse them. in a lot of ways, andrew scheer is the right person to lead the socred part of the base, but he has almost no appeal to the center; a centrist would have just split the party, again. 30% is probably a ceiling for the conservatives in the next election, who are going to be more focused on tending to their base (which is really about one thing: abortion) than they are going to be on winning the most seats. as almost all millenials that would have been pcs grew up into liberals, they will not have a personal connection to the party, or feel any need to ride out a (perceived) temporary shift right. they will lose what few urban ridings they still have - including, potentially, in alberta. moving into 2023, the conservative party is going to see itself as a largely spent force, representing only a fringe of mostly aging voters that are concerned about social issues that the broader society considers settled. if this party comes back some time in the late 20s or early 30s, once it's base of boomers has died, it's going to be a completely different animal, and it's not really possible to predict it. i think it's more likely that the conservative party is in the process of unravelling back to it's socred base, while the tories have just been absorbed by the liberals - and the future is perpetual obscurity.
- the ndp is going to get trounced in 2019. it might think it's rebranding itself for a quick shot at power, but what it's really doing is entering a long process of transition. you don't build a new foundation on top of a leaky one, you have to rip it up first. so, how badly it does is going to depend on how quickly it can build a mobilized force of voters in it's new support base: if it cannot build this base in the next two years, it is going to be completely decimated. it will likely be somewhere in between: they may win some urban ridings, but i would also expect them to lose most of their remaining left-wing voices and most of their quebec mps, leaving a small group of mostly ethnic mps that singh will rebuild the party around. this is going to allow the party to redefine itself as a voice of minorities, and it's policies will shift along with it, into a space that is less concerned about advancing socialism and more concerned about religious pluralism. the new ndp is going to be a moderate conservative party, concerned about maintaining the sanctity of traditional culture, in advancing the dignity of the individual and in the application of the universality of human rights - one nation under god. might make the masons proud. they are going to find themselves fighting with the liberals for ethnic votes that would have leaned ideologically conservative in the last century, as well as for moderate christian votes.
- for 2019, the greens are going to, in some way, benefit from the ndp's swing away from the left, but it remains to be seen if this is going to be a fleeting protest vote or something more substantial. with the ndp abandoning the left, and the liberals just being dishonest, leftist voters are going to either need to find an outlet or accept being disenfranchised - and they may choose the latter, opting for struggle on the ground over participation in a bourgeois system full of lying and back-stabbing politicians. unfortunately, the current leadership of the green party is centrist to centre-right on most issues, and likely not particularly able to take advantage of what it should see as a clear opportunity. whether through hostile takeover or through retirement, the greens must eventually adjust to this new spectrum - but due to the continued existence of hanger-ons, 2027 is a better prediction than 2019, and in the process they may very well lose the opportunity to a new party.
- the ndp will not do well in quebec. is this opening up a space for the bloc? well, if you moved from the bloc to the ndp because you're a secular and federalist leftist, the liberals might not offer you what you want, and you maybe find yourself floating back. the bloc, however, are also shifting right, meaning quebec voters may find themselves badly disenfranchised. i would expect a new political force to appear in quebec within the next 5 years. it may be more regional than explicitly sovereigntist, but it may also be the only social democratic force in the country.
- the liberals are going to take a hit on voter apathy, as they have not lived up to even the weakest forms of expectation. this is probably the biggest bust of a government in the country's history. but, trudeau remains lucky: he doesn't have a serious opponent. the biggest opponent that the liberals are going to have in the 2019 election is apathy. they won a lot of close seats in 2015, and they will probably lose most of them. but, they will probably gain seats, too. where the other two parties are in a free fall that neither will be able to stop, the liberals are trying to maintain momentum in the face of friction created by their own feet-dragging. the best way for the liberals to fight this apathy is to actually do a couple of the things in their election platform, but that's probably not going to happen. nonetheless, they will likely keep their majority, and could even expand it.
i'd expect the results to look something like this:
liberals: 39%
conservatives: 28%
ndp: 13%
greens: 13%
quebec party: 5%
other: 2%
directed movements:
conservatives--->liberals (red tories, continuing)
ndp--->greens (protest voters & leftists, picking up)
ndp--->quebec party (historical bloc voters)
liberals---->non-voters (apathy, not as low turnout as 2011 but trending downwards)

so, the apparent explanation of what happened in the ndp leadership race is that angus' supporters didn't show up to vote. it's curious how often the establishment's least preferred candidate has difficulty getting the vote out, isn't it?
i mentioned the other day that if there's shenanigans then they'll likely be in singh's favour, and the idea of singh winning on the first ballot does kind of seem like shenanigans. that's how the establishment avoids getting it's candidate ganged up on on the third ballot.
was angus a preferable candidate? the answer is that he really wasn't. he refused to condemn new pipelines, clearly mindful of the success of the ndp in alberta, and the importance of unifor in the party. and, his attempts at folksy populism have always seemed forced and contrived. his shtick was supposed to be about rebuilding trust, but he came off like a smarmy used car sales person.
i think the party should have picked niki ashton. but, in stating as much, i'm presenting a different tactical analysis. clearly, the party feels it's path to power is through minority votes.
a part of the reason it thinks that is that it realizes that it has difficulty convincing ideological leftists to actually vote. but, it's missing the point: i wouldn't have wanted to vote for charlie angus, either, because he's not really on the left, either. if they're going to go around representing this historically left-wing party, and then present policies that are unappealing to left-wing voters, of course they're going to have difficulty with voter apathy: they're totally disconnected from their voter base.
the party has decided that it is going to keep the right-wing policy trajectory, and just focus on getting new voters.
and, you know what? with andrew scheer representing the fundamentalist wing of his own party, jagmeet singh may, in the long run, be an extremely appealing candidate to the country's shrinking swing demographic of red tories. a pyrrhic victory to be sure; by the time singh gets to them, they'll be dead.
destruction is not necessarily negative, because one has to destroy to rebuild. that is likely going to be what the ndp is going to go through in 2019, as singh enters parliament with a rump that he can reconstruct from scratch.
but, i am not a moderate conservative, and my voting interests will follow the leftist exodus, wherever it leads. perhaps we can learn a lesson from the singh campaign, and use what he did to the ndp as a model to crash the green party with.

listen.
there's piles of studies on this, and it's the reality of the situation.
it's not some irreversible racial characteristic or something, but it is the reality of manufactured consent in a neo-liberal society: brown people vote for brown people because they're brown, and they do that because they're taught to do it.
and, yes, that does create a problem in a party that is ideological, when it gets flooded by new members in a specific community - because they're not voting on policy, but on skin colour.
in the end, the party gets a representative that doesn't reflect it's values, and won't fight for them, because the meetings were co-opted by identity politics.
but, as i stated before: you need to blame yourself. you didn't organize well enough. you didn't show up. you let this happen.

i don't think we should put the government in charge of this.
listen: maybe a lot of these sign-ups are dubious. but, he didn't do this by himself, he had help from the establishment behind him - and this is how establishment politics works (right down to playing the race card when you question what they're doing). read up on the chretien/trudeau years a little, and you'll see how endemic this is in canadian politics.
it might be a little bit new to the ndp, but it's just a part of the process of the party joining the establishment consensus - which has been happening for quite a while, now.
the bottom line is that this is the inevitable result of left of centre voters refusing to take control of their party and direct it. democracy requires participation to work, and if you don't get participation then you don't get democracy.
it's been unclear for years what kind of vehicle the ndp is for the left, in the first place. naomi klein is married to the party's hereditary ruling chief, and she won't have anything to do with them. it's just a bit of a reality sandwich: this party wasn't going to succeed in advancing a leftist vision, anyway. so, you get this feedback cycle, and this race to the bottom.
it seems like the grassroots in the country is more interested in the green party, but they're arguably even worse when it comes to entrenched right-wing interests.
it's no secret what's happening. but, it shouldn't be surprising. in the end, 2017 may be seen as the party's last pretence of leftist sentiment, as they shift to a largely ethnic based moderate conservative party in the model of the american democrats.

well, we know the party leadership wants singh to win, so if there's any shenanigans happening behind the scene, he's the most likely beneficiary.
i have an ideological objection to joining a political party; i'm an anarchist. i never have, and i'm going to need to undergo a kind of conversion process before i ever will. but, it seems like it's a kind of weird and particularly non-transparent process behind this.
they're taking something like two weeks to count the vote by mail. i'd be surprised if there's anything much like a paper trail.
so, we might have to get used to jagmeet singh, after all.
i don't expect him to come up with a set of policy options that i can support - i expect him to continue the party's swing to the right, which is why the party suits want him; it's the point of the whole exercise - but i'll keep an open mind.
we may very well be walking into another election where the ndp are positioned to the right of the liberals.

on second thought, it seems as though i'll be staying in, tonight.
so, i should get some work done.
i still have to build a skeleton of the period 1 disc, but i've done a cursory run through period 2.1 and it doesn't seem like there's a lot to think about it. that pile of aleph discs has passed for a few releases: there won't be another mp3 disc until probably 2003, and 2000 is the lightest year, so i should get a ways into 2001 before i need to worry about another flac disc.
- i'm adding a hidden track to inri036 but don't plan to do any mastering.
- inri037 was left incomplete on purpose, and i'm going to have to ponder it, but don't plan to touch it.
- inri038 needs to be expanded - and i will probably remix the vocal part. i'll be adding 2-3 mixes. it's a different mentality; i'll go over this.
- inri039 is done.
- inri040 can be expanded to include missing tracks (same as 38)
- inri041 is done
there's going to be an extra vocal disc, probably at 42. this is a logical continuation of the process; i've taken three tracks off records (too cold, liquify, book it!) because they didn't fit, but they all fit together. the fourth track to add to this is the vocal mix of ignorance is bliss, which is now left off of deny everything. a fifth track may be a completed 'curious george suite'. the theme here is original vocal prog, and it works quite well, actually, and especially as an intermediary. i would want to sequence it after 'deny everything' and treat it as an unofficial record - lp010, but not an official 5th. that would just be revisionist. but, it seems somewhat essential, too. i split all of these singles off for good reason, but i like the idea of having an lp for each of them, and this is kind of a problem, right now.
i'm toying with doing the vocal 'stuck' after all, but it would need to look towards a vocal jazz comp.
i don't think that this should be very time consuming, but we'll have to see.
first, i need to skeleton period 1, and that should take me most of the rest of the day.

when i sat
down to make the ambient works, i wanted a "mix tape" style cd-r of
ambient fragments that ran from 1996-2003 as a volume 0. but, when i sat
down to actually make it, i ended up with a 90 minute actual mix tape
of material from 1996-1999. it actually split itself fairly cleanly into
an inri period release, so i've made space for it as a 1999 release.

republishing inri034
this is another lost track that exists in a sort of an ill-defined alter-reality.
it came out of a jam in my basement that fall. i was feeling a little more lonely than usual. see, i was quite literally the only person in my social group that bothered doing grade 13. so, school was converted from my only real social grounding (and i was always an extremely introverted loner) into a place of isolation and alienation. i skipped a lot of classes, actually, in a desire to escape the people. looking back, i sort of regret not reaching out to the people around me a bit more; it would have helped in more than just a social context. but, in hindsight, i'm also able to understand the separation better as one of class; as much as i regret keeping myself isolated, i think i would have been better off not carrying on with school at all.
i mean, i did well. my average was over 90. but i felt hopelessly out of place. i knew i didn't belong there....that they would never accept me unless i became the kind of pretentious jerk i despised. nor did i want anything to do with them, anyways. i really hated the superior attitude that i found myself immersed within. so, i just kept my physical distance and my mouth shut, hoping the condition was temporary (it wasn't).
the flip side of this is that i was also working a part-time job in a fast-food restaurant and i hated it just as much. i didn't fit in any better there, amongst the kids with no aspirations in life except to work in order to exist.
so, i found myself stuck between worlds, not wanting anything to do with either. in both cases, though, what i found the problem was was the people. "i don't mind the job, but i'm repulsed by the staff".
what i really wanted was just to be able to lock myself in a room and never have to engage with anybody ever again. i think that i'm the only person that could have written this. it exudes my idiosyncrasies in surreal, tongue-in-cheek humour. but it's also dead serious.
"i'd rather have a book than a friend.
it's loyalty will never end,
doesn't succumb to fashion or trend,
and all the information it sends,
will never get lost along the way.
when things get as tough as they may,
it will always know exactly what to say,
'cause books don't hurt...
...or do they?"
musically, there's some fancy playing here. everything is completely live: no loops (except the drums, programmed into a 909 emulator). that guitar part is sort of tricky. and check the bass part in the breakdown.
the thing i really like about this the most, though, is the gorgeous kosmische ending section, which is built up on overlapping sixths and is just the most dreamy thing to escape into ever. dramatic ending chord care/of a day in the life.
and, indeed, this is the dramatic ending chord for inri.
