February 2012

Not quite a video, but possibly the craziest Western rejectionist vibes I’ve ever received from one MP3 (imitation is the greatest form of flattery, internetvibes!).

The background to all of this: I took a course my first year in college entitled Global Pop. It was an honors course, and basically turned into primer about why Western imperialism reaches into the cultural realm in the 21st century. So I found out all the sweet ways that the MAN rapes the rest of the world out of their sweet beats and oriental sounds (an entire vibe post should be done on the word oriental, by the way).

So I stumbled upon this MP3 from the days back when entitled “Arranged Marriage” (download it immediately!) by Apache Indian. First, he is NOT an Apache, but it is a total slam to the Unknowing Colonial Antiquities that Persist to This Day, because he is an Indian (subcontinent) that lives in Great Britain. Not only is he mad at our White Mans Burden fucking up his side of things, but he’s so mad he stole the Reggae vibe! I am not kidding you.

And what is this reggae impersonating, non-Native-American, British-Indian singing about? Well, his coming to terms with the backwardness of his own Indian culture! I don’t think this even makes sense, but there are about fifty different dynamics working against each other here.

Also, check out his picture:

In summation, Apache Indian is NOT American Indian (and probably doesn’t like the fact that a bunch of arrow shooters are mistaken with his kind), is culturally confused, and if you a do a Google image search on him, you will get ten pictures of him with Sean Paul.

Kent: With our utter annihilation imminent, our federal government has snapped into action. We go live now via satellite to the floor of the United States congress.
Speaker: Then it is unanimous, we are going to approve the bill to evacuate the town of Springfield in the great state of –
Congressman: Wait a minute, I want to tack on a rider to that bill: $30 million of taxpayer money to support the perverted arts.
Speaker: All in favor of the amended Springfield-slash-pervert bill?
[everyone boos]
Speaker: Bill defeated. [bangs gavel]

Now, let’s all get together and pick a good time for our revolution. After work, before happy hour, if possible (YPM).

Picked up by Tiny Revolution before I could articulate my feelings. Following the release of the Israel Lobby paper out of Harvard (with it being pulled from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvards website), articles were written with not so subtle tones to them in the Washington Post, the LA Times, the Boston Globe, etc.

The best Example of all Examples is the Washington Post article, called ‘Of Israel, Harvard, and David Duke’. This was put in the Sunday outlook section of the Post, which is supposed to be a more serious, discussion oriented weekly portion of the paper. So their interpretation of the allegations of influence held by the Israel Lobby? Why, a short article with 6 quotes, 2 positive and 4 negative. One of the positive: David Duke. I’m still waiting for the positive quotes from Pat Buchanan and OJ Simpson, so this topic can be succesfully buried with guilt by assocation.

I hope my friends buy it — I tell them it was dark, I was drunk, and there was a very powerful fog machine. But I saw you again — we talked about your insecurities, and we talked about mine. We talked about mine actually, for the whole night. And you listened.

Then we kissed, and since that moment, I haven’t forgotten about the feelings that even a pathetic soul like me can experience. I hope you pity me enough to remember too.

National Gallery: Cezanne and DaDa exhibit. Will make DaDa poem — Yuppie Death March. Possible anthology of unnamed poems? (Desired outcome.)

Went and saw Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House. I like Mr. Wright. He not only shares my middle name as his last, but is full of hot air and pompous. Plus his house was very, very cool — not because it was so modern or mindblowing. Everything was perfectly designed, and it takes a certain intelligence to enjoy that.

Viewed Block Party. Very good. Very, very good. Ate good Thai. Not in that order. Reverse of that order. Understood? Woke up early in the Morn’s by the lessers.

Here I am, Sunday night, awaiting Monday morning. Yuppie Death March continues.
