Negativland

text

To put it midly, someone needs to start giving the culture jammers and illegalart, Negativland, the Evolution Control Committee music makers some listening attention. And as attention, no, I don't mean police or celebrity or art star genius stasis. No, someone really needs to look at what these bands represent in our culture and how this is the revolutionary sound of our time. In many ways, this is the rise against the Pepsi generation, against the signs of the fascism within capital, the infringment of artistic ideals via "intellectual copyright," and, of course, the end of music that is merely a whore's tune to the norm. Thankfully, despite all of the political attention, this band is also giving us some quality entertainment through sound collage, rock, ambient, comedy, and the fact that no one is exploting our hears for this few minutes.
