is this Candid Camera?
Dear 313 Friends-
I'm afraid I will not be at DEMF this year. As a matter of fact, I
am now officially boycotting it and will no longer support Carl
Craig, planet E, the Ford Motor Company, or any other individual or
association helping sponsor or organize the DEMF.
The reason for my seemingly radical stance is that Autechre will be
playing. Now, until recently, I was a very big fan of theirs,
however the controversy cam ewith the release of their new album
"Cornfield". Now, being raised in the heartland of america, the
"Midwest" as it were, I have a strong afinity for cornfields and the
earth below them. When I first heard that the title for the new
album would be "Cornfield" I was very excited, "Finally" I thought,
"Autechre will be focusing on the needs and unique experiences of
the farmer!" However, after several close listens, I realized that
this was not the case at all, in fact, Autechre seem to be expliting
and misappropriating "farm scene" culture and ideas to make money.
As a matter of fact, Autechre's bastardization of the agricultural
scene is on par with Puff Daddy's exploitation of Grand Master
Flash's "The Message". Both of these scam artists took something
good and significant and recontextualized them them into heinous
consumer based exchange entities. I'm sure Sean and Rob(ber) were
sitting in their studio one day, and said "Hey, in the US they have
a strong farmer community. I bet if we made an album that appealed
to them, we could make loads of cash."
It is this mentality that has infected almost each and every great
movement: Rock'n'Roll, Disco, Hip-Hop, Rave, and Agriculture. And
ultimately caused their downfall. I refuse to see the farm scene,
which I consider myself and active member of, get corrupted and
commercialized by a bunch of Englishmen... WHO AREN'T EVEN FARMERS!!
This is just unacceptable.
And that is why you won't see me at DEMF this year.
Keep it real,
t2s
