Linernotes: information is a resource, something we all need. but there is a point beyond which the speed and amount of information starts to diminish the quality of our lives. the more people who are competing for our attention, the more outrageous things they have to do to get it... and so the neon signs become bigger, the TV ads become louder, more shocking and more vulgar, and so do the shows between the ads.
- david shenk, "data smog"
Lyrics: are we streaming to listen, or listening to stream? do we base shortage on suggestion, or density on speed? do we dedicate this life to the dictatorship of the omnipresent beam? take in this comprehensive overflow of cultivated insolation. artificial fascination now! take in this crown-embellished artefact, that's world record in stimulation. input is relaxing us somehow, in permanent replay. plug in and play! i hear this phrase repeating. play your part, mistreating your own senses and mind. leaving any chance for objectivity and true interests behind. within this mass-diversion policy, we're dying for attention - a fact discontent industry is able to retail in globalized dimensions. as the input levels fell, we're dying for this bullshit that the centralized indoctrinating corporate-funded mass-media sells us.
01. Discontent Industry is taken from the record "AntiChorus", out 2007 on RUDE, No Reason and Broken Heart Records.
