I don't read much of anything. I'm not saying you shouldn't intellectualise ECSR, but I am doing so with my tongue placed firmly in my cheek. I must check out The Victims some time.
This song is about the alienating, solipsistic, hypnotic, and stupefying effect of television. Human sociality has been distorted and isolated to the point where it is now mediated by a continuous stream of transmitted images. This passifying use of images socialises the public to accept authority, autocracy and hierarchy. It totally rocks out.
Someones been reading Baudrillard... But yeah i think Brendan Suppression puts the message in a more accessible medium. If you like songs about the pathology of television check out the Australian band "The Victims"... Sweet band from Perth...
what a show! When I saw these guys at the Rage Against the Machine festival (aka Big Day Out a few years ago), These guys where the highlight of the whole day, discovering this band was like discovering fire
ECSR kicks it live! Great song...thanks for posting this...
