IT’S A BEAUTIFULLY SELFISH WORLD...

Current mood: ME ME ME...
Category: ME ME ME... Music

One thing I don't understand about the ideology of Primal Scream is how they're so anti-fascist yet their frontman is married to a model...???

Surely the whole idea of models is simply and very actually fascist???

ps:)

Gillespie has recently been involved in a campaign to prevent a local pub gaining extended hours.

The man whose band was kicked off stage at Glastonbury in 2005 due to its offensive performance, said pub life was preventing him from sleep.

"There was a live percussionist playing along with the records, the sound was of a very high frequency which reverberated into my bedroom and my children's bedroom. I found the repetitiveness disturbing and I was unable to sleep because of it."

Gillespie, 42, whose family ran a pub in Glasgow, had been part of a community group lobbying against the Alma's bid for extended opening hours.

Also, Gillespie is well known for supporting Celtic FC and despising Rangers FC...


This is a world full of beautifully selfish contradictions...

	Clinker	I disagree entirely. Hes a socialist man of principles and 100% not a fascist! That is laughable when you think of the causes he's helped and supported. His house is next door to the pub and the noise kept his kids awake. He did what any father would do. Put his kids before his rock n roll credentials. Like John Lydon before him, he's not perfect, but he does believe in the power of music and pushes boundaries (Screamadelica and Xtrmntr for instance). I thought that Glastonbury performance was brilliant. He was obviously off his head, but it was exciting. Yea it was offensive to a certain kind of person, but Glastonbury can at times be staid and boring. He kicked some life into it. I don't understand the football reference either. Glaswegians tend to like one and hate the other, due to their religous background....or have I missed the point. That news is ancient, unless its still ongoing.

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	If you live next to a pub what the fuck do you expect?? If it was anyone who wasn't a musician would it be acceptable to be so two-faced??? What is the problem with Glaswegians??? Posted by : THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI : on Tuesday, November 20, 2007 at 20:30 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Clinker	Its a quiet area, thats why he moved there. The pub used to be quiet, now its not. He has kids and cares about them more than anything else. When I read about it (maybe 3 years ago), I laughed at its contradictions, but realistically what do you expect. Not only that, hes not young anymore himself. He (and the band) were removed from Glastonburys stage for over running not because of being offensive. If so, your beloved Manics woulda been strung up long ago. Even Michael Eavis laughed the whole thing off as "funny". He spent the whole weekend completely off his face, lambasting "Hippies". He also agreed in a later interview that they were right to pull them off "otherwise we'd still be there now". If you wanna see his caring side, research the hard work he put in to free Satpal Ram, who was imprisoned for life defending himself against 6 racist thugs. Also see research his work with The Palestine Refugee Children and Liverpool Dockers, Musically every album is different from the last and the shit albums seem to be loved by many and the ground breaking ones not (except Screamadelica). With a band like them its almost impossible to love all their albums and everyone has a different favourite. Posted by Clinker on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 at 10:43 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Well yes I'm laughing at the beautiful contradictions here as well.. However, I very much hope BG now fully researches every gig his band plays and checks with all the neighbours within a 10 metre zone of the venue before turning the volume up above a low level.. I mean seriously: Musicians against musical noise?!? I'm sure he's done plenty of good work for charity but so has everyone these days... Musically I certainly admire PS in places, but am not familiar with every LP..

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Yeah I know this kind of thing goes on all over the place but it's still stupid and it's not the kind of thing you'd expect a forward thinking man like Bobby G to be engaging with.... Furthermore the Glasgow version of this rivalry is a little more serious than some friendly rivalries..

	La Paloma, the Queen of Infinity	come one, reply to your own comments some more...then you won't even need readers...hmmm...i need to ponder on the topic of this blog a bit...i am on both sides of the fence on this one because I am getting more selfish and comfortable in my old age, and the young ideal paloma would have sucked it up in honor of sticking it to the man...so, yeah, i don't know...

	Clinker	I've been pondering the idea of models as fascists. Wouldn't it be closer to say they are victims of fascism? Can you explain what makes a model a fascist? Maybe i'm being dumb or because i'm struggling with this shitty cold i've got (probably caused by standing outside our gig for a smoke with just a thin shirt on...plus the lack of food intake). I'm interested, not disagreeing this time. Posted by Clinker on Thursday, November 22, 2007 at 14:04 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	La Paloma, the Queen of Infinity	i guess what i should have said is that the fashion industry is fascist...i.e. the "idea" of models not the models themselves. (but i dee pg already addressed this issue) Posted by La Paloma, the Queen of Infinity on Friday, November 23, 2007 at 16:26 [Remove]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Because models present an ideal of body shape and type that everyone should be.. It might not be blonde hair & blue eyes - but it's a dreadful and vicious conformity.. Fascist ideas are about conformity - selective breeding..

	Clinker	Thats why I feel they are victims of Fascism. They are forced by the industry to be that way to promote that image. Posted by Clinker on Thursday, November 22, 2007 at 14:59 [Remove]

	stephen w.k.	for the record i think 'evil heat' is one of the best albums of all time (tho i shan't be listening to it today, 'no music day')... if you wanna chase contradictory artists can you turn yr attention to rage against the machine? i'd say (again, for the record) that an individual taking the initiative against a pub could be consistent (or at the very least not-contradictory) with being anti-fascist, however if BG takes over the country, centralises power and sends in the jackboots, then he would be going too far... although, on reflection, perhaps a full-time job as the head of a totalitarian state would leave little time to put out the god-awful shit that primal scream have come up with of late (country girl??? ugh).

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I love contradictory artists - the Manic Street Preachers being one of my personal faves... I just don't feel at all sure about Bobby G complaining about noise - when did he ever give a shit about it effecting others...?? Not that he should - but I'm a critic and I CARE ALOT!!!!

	Purveyor of Nothing	Yeah the Manics r great despite the Michael stipe incident....crappergate....building bypasses over this shithole etc etc etc.Gillespie was cool as the emo/enigma drummer in JAMC and should have burnt out gloriously after that.The man is a fool and dances like a seal.I looked up that Katy England and I thought she was a deigner/stylist type of bird....unless he's got a new one? xxx Posted by Purveyor of Nothing on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 at 12:48 [Remove] [Reply to this]

These fascists and their anorexic lovers need to smoke a joint and stop bumming me out... I hope you all get indigestion for all this bickering. Shame on you! Be they fascist or socialist, both states dictate! Rather, all states dictate! Kudos for all the back and forth!
