And here it is: RIVE 024, gdbodycount by Eucci & Co.. Since we erased our angry live/jam session (on accident), this was compiled instead. One of the things that was going through my mind as we redid the ELW entry, "one minute no silence, one minute suspended detonation", was a phrase from Nurse With Wound, in the liner notes to the terrific "A Missing Sense" release:
Swansong is a vocal piece which was spewed out after watching a documentary on the American A-Bomb tests off the Bikini Islands which left me sad, helpless and fucking angry - an ocean of death."fucking angry - an ocean of death." That phrase has been in my mind most of this week, as I found myself increasingly frustrated and even furious at the path this administration is taking. (Also, etched into the vinyl of the original release of Swansong was the phrase "You bastards won't be happy until everythings dead!"). As I've mentioned this week - when your leaders or those who whisper constantly in their ears churn out phrases like total war and bring to memory images of Goebbels, Goering, and similar: you've got a situation. This is not a defense plan - we have all but declared war on the world itself.
