Does not mass culture serve only to inculcate the values required to reproduce capital?

 once again it has been proven that rich people , by by proxy shell corporations ,control everything . it is capital . marx was loaded, even deleuze with his push for cultural  schizophrenia was a financial champion. they are your world . they trap you in simulations of normal life with debt and mandatory servitude while they control the worlds events and create the art that you consume. the cultural movements  come from deep pockets. art from kids with rich parents or incoming inheritances. regimes are bought and sold for corporate gain and grassroots movements are smothered by well funded gaslighting. the shooter of the ceo, one of the most important moments in this inevitable revolution, was a rich kid with unthinkably rich family. opposite action , what should you do? what can you do? and wouldnt it actually be so easy to do it, now that we know.

CREEM DOUBLE SPREAD FEATURE

 art consumed by the masses was created by rich kids or kids with rich parents. if your parents are rich you are rich unless they arent giving you that money when they become skeletons. art created by rich kids or kids of rich parents is designed for the masses for mass exposure and mass appreciation and competitive desire. art from the underground is made for misfits and rejects and also tthe masses but is misunderstood by the masses . 

 gah! the CIA makes me so madd. wake up! we record cruelster guitars tonite and tomorrow nite. many near finished or fully finished projects and full LPs are going to be released this year. have labels lined up for everything, will announce those individually as they get closer. yay… what else. i hope i get back into baseball this year. my radicalized brain can enjoy almost nothing anymore. it will be ok just to play baseball with the boys, drinking beer, playing baseball with my son in the eclipsing son . catch with a footbal in the hot solar sun. i wish upon a star thati could drink unlimited cold yellow beer with no health effects and also for Anthony bourdain to WILLINGLY be there too

life is what you makeofit…

recording drums for the 3rd cruelster album on sunday. it is going to be very good according to us and i mean the time we will have making it, not the album, but the album is exciting. good news coming soon for the carp too. there was a worry that many modern labels do not want to mingle with working class punk but we found a sweet sweet spot for this new album and blue collar is back baby. uninspired punk borne of the trust fund baby is still very common and we shhould all be very frightened. let me tel you something quickly i thought about with the bluecollar workingclass situation with art. rich kids with a trust fund have a lot of free time and they end up making a little bit of art that they are then able to afford to buy connections and promote that art. lots of eyes and the common folk become numbed towards art in general becayse of its homogeneity. some rich kids with a trust fund are able to afford to take their time making art that is sophisticated and approachable to other trust fund babies and boomers and middle class and beyond. these artists can then adopt the worldview that success is not relative but black and white. we cruelster make art when we have free time and it is for people who can consume art whenever they can howveer they can find it and free as possible. art made by working class as opposed to the bored rich. if this seems like a high horse then find a blog with a moral ambiguity complex because you wont find it on this fucking bloggersite. or you are waiting for the death of a wealthy relative who loves you a lot
