Lovebomb

[Thad Biggerstaff <daht73@xxxxxxxxx>]

while i have always adored the sound of Thaemlitz's
creations, his intellectualizations that attach to
them have always been rather slanted/obtuse/missing
the mark to me. i am halfway through listening to
Lovebomb and i like it a great deal, but reading the
accompaning booklet just makes me shake my head.
reducing love to anthropology and rationalism? what
ever happened to the idea of objective love, the
sacred, the Real...? He would not do himself harm by
reading a bit of Rumi...

he writes- "Love is... a redundant construction of
pacifying hysteria, a mandatory insult to appease our
senses. Its persuasive image of universality is its
greatest act of culturally invasive violence. A
perverse mirror of the cut." 

in all his anthropology, he seems to focus solely on
how negatives can play themselves out. yes the
negatives exist but so does love, beyond the
negatives, not in spite of them...

hmph.

the music is beautiful though :)
