Super Hero Sewing Circle

The Robot Archivist, Vol. 2

In response to the quote: “We could start a factory / and make misery”

b: I like that misery isn’t even a personal craft anymore, but a late-capitalist glamorization of alienated, Fordized production

me: wow, you should write about that on alt.soulasylum

b: @ pirner4pyros: your gay

also, would it be unfair to classify this song as “premo”?

me: interesting

i think what used to be called “alternative” is pretty much “premo”

or, more succinctly, “emo”

well, i guess maybe not; alternative is pretty broad

b: hmm

I was about to say, for every “the world is a vampire set to drain” there’s a–

and then write something non-emo

and then I tried thinking of a non-emo alternative song lyric

and died

like, oh, I know, “evenflow: thoughts arrive like butterflies”

no, ok, that’s pretty gay

uh, what about, “flies in the vaseline we are, sometimes it blows my mind, keep getting stuck here all the time”

no, alright

“I’m a loser baby, so why” no

me: “a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido”

Your thoughts?
