about

Improvised narrative / early version of “Eh, Wot?” (recorded two months later on the same stage, by Somebody’s Got An Axe To Grind, on the “Live At Tonic” CD EP, 2013].

Words inspired by lack of sleep deprivation; thanks to Maxmillian rousing this gnome from his sleep at 3 am that very day.

All references to Marshall McLuhan, and 21st-century social networks, are purely intentional.

lyrics

The information highway is neither.
Modern technology has rendered all communication obsolete.
No one has anything to say, of any real significance.
And this is signified repeatedly. Repeatedly. Repeatedly. Repeatedly.

Live, from the dashboard:
Text messages filled with repetitive nonsense _ Viral mania.
Anti-social networks _ suggest _ rhetoric _ sabotage _ language
Shared _ information _ Mined (mimed) _ information _ (info - nation).

All your memes belong to us.
All your friends belong to us.
Do you really “Like” your friends?

Say something. Say anything.
Chit-chat. Chitter chatter. Tweet-tweet-tweet.
Any point of interest is only coincidence.

The medium is the message.
I repeat:
The medium is the massage.
Can you hear me now?
