Asbo Sprach Zarathustra


Performed on a chromatic array of hollowed-out teenagers' skulls.

Live teenagers' skulls.

Eagerly I clicked hither and yon, yer ladyship, hoping to find such a musical offering. But music found I none...

Also, isn't it a feature of ASBO-decorated teens that their skulls come ready-hollowed?

I read that "experimental doom metal" band Sculptured use the chromatic scale when they’re feeling extra cheesed off about stuff. Perhaps your idea has found it's champion.

(Has the Che t-shirt now become, like, ironic??)

Byard, I'm afraid it was a policy suggestion for a combined ministry of the interior and culture, not a real piece of music. I like to think it would be popular with a discerning audience of about 50 million in this country alone.

Mr Dilo, I shall as Boyo to procure examples of the work of Sculptured, for purposes of research and possible elimination. I operate a progressive monopoly of ideas.

The photograph is from Ossetia, a random thorn of Iran embedded in lower Russia. I doubt whether they can afford irony.

Gadjo Dilo said...

Oh, Ossetia. I was in Georgia last year, and I'm not sure that the concept Lower Russia is used there any more ;-) However, it may still be relevant to the NATO irredentist-expansionists who've just refused entry to Geoergia and your own dear homeland in Bucuresti these last few days.

NATO in its decadence has decided to give Russia a veto over policy. If Mr Putin, or his young companion Medvedev, had a sense of humour, they would now demand that Belarus should be admitted to the Organisation. That would amuse me.
