THE SCENE IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT!

Coming up with a blog name is really stupid when you are surrounded by a whole bunch of cunts. Not really. But, a name is only as important as you want it to be, and when the name is a marketing point, then the art is lost... I suppose. "The scene is over" is a personal thing; a reference to a phrase, which was mostly a joke between my friend Vincent and I. We'd get drunk together and realise the ridiculousness of something in this "scene" we were in and note that "the scene is over!", OR: "The scene is FUCKING OVER!", in order to exaggerate the lunacy of something. Like if we were randomly walking through the streets of Downtown San Diego and got picked up by a punk band called "Society's Victims" and then Vincent proceeded to rip a hole through the back seat of their King Cab as a result of a violent and putrid fart, which left an odour that became an atmosphere of sewage and death in its wake. I don't expect you to understand. I guess you had to be there.

In the early 1960's, Jamaican record producers (such as the legendary Clement "Sir Coxso
ne" Dodd) who recorded almost wholly instrumental music really thought long and hard about the title of the song, since that was one of the only things the music listeners (and buyers) would be able to judge the record on, unless the record shop owner was nice enough to let them sample the vinyl-- that was probably not too likely on Orange Street in Kingston 1965. Nevertheless, these musicians did not have the luxury of today's blogosphere-centric world where manufactured hype and easily-accessible MP3 snippits were at their disposal. My, how things change when lasers come into the picture!

This is the electronic embodiment of an attempt to rant, write, comment, vent, and move towards a new modernism whose purpose is yet to be realised and cemented into the consciousness of those friends and acquaintances who take the time, through drunken curiosity, to delve into the fickle mind of one person in a sea of bloggers and blogs and MySpace bulletins and Facebook emotional bliss.

See you in Valhalla, brother.
