Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles



Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles
1993, North Carolina
Noise-Rock

Sleep is not quite as high on the list of priorities right now. I'm not listening to Polvo right now, I just downloaded this synthy-pop-wave album from Comic Hearse and it's pretty great. Chip-tunes-ing it when chip-tunes wasn't even coined as a genre. Anyways, Polvo, original 깡패's of math-rock? Is it possible to be an original 깡패 in anything? I secretly want to dress like a guy and lock myself in a cabin with 5 other guy with 2 guitars, 1 drum set, 1 bass, and some recording equipment. I'd very much like the 5 guys to be, if not carbon copies of; Steve Albini, David Pajo and Will Oldham. We can all sit in this cabin and drink every morning and night, make a beautiful album, walk in the desert and while we sober up we can stare at the night sky on a new moon kind of night. We'll make about 200 cassettes/vinyls (No compact discs allowed) and hand write the track list, slap a special song on the B-side and circulate them into the public for free. That can simmer in the dusty shelves of friends who will pass it on to friends who will pass it on to friends of friends and we can all hide away in obscurity. Then, in about 20 years, I want some pretentious fool who writes for MaximumRocknRoll (because MaxRnR will be jerks by then) to write a phenomenal review and just rip us away from individual projects and shove us in the limelight. We'll do some reunion shows reluctantly, but for the most part, we'll try to keep the recorded cassette/vinyl's integrity by refusing to formally reunite and record more studio albums.

One of my fantasies. First, I need to get out of this godforsaken country and move to California or something.
