A muscle game from time to time: the need to disillusionment rich existence on this planet, my poor creature at irregular intervals, but then show the whole dimension of hopelessness. I do not mean the major life turning point or a momentous blow. Smaller potholes insignificance do it. They are there so in the life around-but they do still hurt so much!
today as graphic example: An Interview with Ian MacKaye-OX in 2010. Buy it groans from the past on and hope chews nervously on their fingernails: I hope not again this carved in stone triadic topic of "Straight Edge", "DIY" and that "I never am so sectarian as some people want to see me," that pretty much EVERY had visited Fanzine medium size in the last 15 years. Why only saw all the magazines are impelled to do an interview with Ian MacKaye, was held in that form and content a hundred times and published? Tacit liturgy made every interview with the co-founder of Dischord Records to a predictable pleasure-shells. The questioner asked the eternal question ends to the early days of the DC scene and etymology of the concept of "Straight Edge", inquired about the evil industry and its perspective to Ian MacKaye relativized good, no, 'evil industry' that can not really say that, you can make just for themselves, determine their own environment. And this would be his credo of him and all that has taken place in the Dischord-environment, worry about his own life, a critical position ...
Something like that was published one and the same interview, published and released, the question / answer machine always reeled back and started at the initial question.
So, after years and now a renewed interview with him in OX. What it will accommodate only thematic?
Perhaps the silence and aging, which has yet established a significant impact on the long-held interest in DC? Perhaps a personal interview about his paternity, and how much his life by possibly changed? Whether he finds himself as an aging man who has not much to do with him always assumed and preserved life that he is still redound after all these years to a figurehead of the DIY culture? Yes, perhaps his public distance in recent years will result in a NEW, DIFFERENT read a interview with him?
The theme of the interview: "Straight Edge". And willing to put together all the players and do their job.
There are all working wheel of a mechanism of the instrument and a knowledge of working out pretty vividly: Hardcore / Punk is not dead, it lives and works, pays taxes and is great pension. Besides, it babbles continually of yesterday and today everything is the same-you have to just work hard only.
No, dead is not hardcore. It lives and mow the front yard like so everything still looks like this dressed as ever. Everything has its place and will not be revealed. The OX example. How many decades that it is already? In any case, is still cheerfully jumped from Themenfeldchen to Themenfeldchen always two meters at the zenith of critical journalism over. This could still go through smoothly than in 1992 ... The other federal Office of the Hardcore/Punk- TRUST-yes it can be transparent also similar between two book covers to print: "HARDCORE LIFE AS DRAFT". Meant, of course: transparency as life plan.
But Ian MacKaye. Oh dear. This eternal adherence to generally applicable "reasonable" principles and the proclamation of the subject's critical taste so stale and insipid that I find this thoroughly honorable man simply would not listen. His tireless willingness to respond to the questions on straight edge and veganism, may hold out as evidence of his stoic disposition. I'm waiting eagerly for the refusal in this regard, the beginning of the interview he responsive (for its part, once awake for several minutes about the totzitierten catchwords to walk). Maybe even an interview Fugazi without question? Without Straight Edge exegesis? Why he has not even no mood for these interviews?
I would like to say goodbye to my own naive holding up the "DC-mind" and interpreted into all the positive attributes. This was due of my youth. I am no longer young, Ian MacKaye is not. So, let the rest of us here take very kind to make ends meet. But, PLEASE: No Straight Edge more interviews!
