"I think the world is broken..and human beings are broken..and we all just want to be fixed, but how do we fix our lives? Well we can't, but if we can share are broken-ness with eachother...." that's love.
this music is so real......they are really speaking about what it's like to be alive in 2009.....they are not pretnetious.......they are authentic 100%.....they will be this way till they die.......they are children.....they are radical......they are revolutionary........they are not followers
Where William Basinski talks of his music being amniotic you hear a loop called ''D|P 1.1'' from ''The Disintegration Loops'' series. The whole series is amazing. Basinski's ambient tracks in general can get intensely emotional.
Thank you for posting this lovely document - W. Basinski and friends - so heartening . . . fills me with hope and wonder. ooo xxx to all who were (are) there
@Trigaranus he just got a bit more successful, a bit more exposure that's all. he looks for people- he knows what a good artist is, and he just wants to be around them. not to be a psychoanylist, do a group dynamic analysis. i watched an interview where he says hes not a good guitar player. he's like ringo, cocorosie john and paul? is that an alright analogy?
@Trigaranus no, sorry that's an awful analogy. yeah, at times, you can see that he wants to be/tries to be weird, quirky, eccentric, but he doesn't really have it in him. he doesnt strike me as weirdly innocent as cocorosie. but then again, lets not be cynical. we're not all perfect.
Using the word "pretentious" is lazy journalism. Saying some things are pretentious is to offend oneself with ignorance and a vague conservatism partially rooted in a small percentage of jealous fears within. Maybe.
by the way, i'm not saying that cocorosie is bad or anything...i love them...i absolutely adore them...i just think this documentary could have been way more thought-provoking, and it does not do them justice.
William Basinski is pretentious, i agree, but the others I feel are just doing what they want to do with their lives and making a living doing it. Whatever
we could do this forever. yr initial comment..."did this come out before people could recognize what was pretentious"...has nothing to back it up whatsoever.
does anyone know what song they're singing at 3:40?

Coco Rosie y Anthony me parecen un poco mas auntenticos a diferencia a Devendra ... puede parecer un poco fantoche con su Ego.

My guess it that they were doing an improve kind of thing where they'd sing suggestions form the audience. Don't know but that's that I was thinking.
