i missed that unfortunately, but another former member of this parish was also in geek maggot bingo. i have a vague memory of suggesting a name when he mentioned needing to pick one though, but my suggestion was not used - 'war is menstrual envy'.

I get that the attitude influenced a lot of people, dark, literary, sometimes noisy (goth and post-punk) but I know very little that really sounds like the first album. I tend to think that the space rockers and paisley underground people sound more like an amped up version of the third album. The only band I relate directly to the possibilities of the first two albums is Sonic Youth - the idea of encompassing that scope of prettiness and noise etc in one unit. SY never touched on the minimalism thing generally though.Well, the whole slow core thing, some of it is proto-industrial, "space rock" or whatever you might call Spiritualized, you find it all on that record.
Thats great! There's an entire novel in there.what can I say, man. I was 13. I didn’t know anything.
I do very strongly remember the sense-impression that I had that this band had to be a contemporary one.
and so, in trying to reach back into the mind of my 13-year-old self, this is my theory of what I was thinking back then: ‘heroin’ sounds weird and dangerous and scary. I think that my 13-year-old self sort of assumed that anything that sounded so strange was somehow ‘not allowed’ to have been made in the 1960s. the 60s were all just flowers. weirdness was only permitted for then-current music.
it doesn’t make any sense, but then... it doesn’t really have to. I was a kid. anyway, point was, it changed things for me
