The third instalment in our occasional series. Vukovar, live and unvarnished.
VUKOVAR POPSHOW REPORT - AMBER BAR, DOUGLAS 28.4.2018
… refuse, … refuse to say goodbye…
And though the crossings have become more than just 3, this refusal to acknowledge the departure is a refusal to deny the architect; to deny all thought.
The NewPopAct became NeuPopAct once more, in a way that even eternal recurrence could not stamp its torturous effect and affect on. Keep thy dreams. Keep them though they serve no purpose. That they remind you, forever, of no-thing and no-chance. That they prevent their own reaching - the promised land is such that it is promised through its own impossibility. Whatever was in the heart, doesn’t matter any longer…
These Patron Saints Of The Archaic became their own refusal.
Set List:
Part 2: Ms. Kuroda’s Lament (The Sailor)
In The Overgarden
Übermensch
Veil
The Clockwork Dance
Some Masochist Morning When…/The Hospital Hurts The Girl
An Invisible Prison
A Final Solution
Quiet
Mutiny In Heaven
The entanglement long ago became quantum. Long ago attached for all time and ever more, both upon a ribbon that waxes and wanes in its movement - with no significance attached to either movement, as the balance is forever in order - and the connection never broken, never cut with nonchalant blades. The suspension of vision through deprivation of light is only temporary; we dream each other awake.
