Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx New posting on MySpace

Probably more likely inspired by the recent big brothery that's been flooding the media... but who knows...!

Or, to quote Laurie Anderson (who was in turn quoting Burroughs) "Language Is A Virus (From Outer Space)"...

Ok ok. I accept that in these forum circles it might be considered heresy, but has anyone considered the latest posting might just be the latest in the line of quickly concocted mumbo jumbo, designed to gloss over the fact that John's not really got anything to say?

I don't know. I know I'm picky, but it's hard to read anything into something when passages are actually written in a style that can be too hard to read in itself.

Hee hee!
EG, as usual, you make a fine pointy thing.

How many sides of the face can one laugh on simultaneously?

It's an obituary, that's what it is.
Six weeks since he released an album, and John Foxx has imploded.
Become nothing more than fractals.
He exists only as a reflection now.
And in light on windows…

Brilliantly put.

Still - all a bit bizarre, innit?! I enjoyed the post; it was certainly well-crafted sci-fi, though judging by the various 'WTF?!' comments after it, perhaps it may have confused a section of his MySpace audience who aren't so familiar with his forays into media other than music.

Indeed.
Which makes me smile.

John Foxx is so NOT right for MySpace.

"Perhaps you need to learn more English."

what a great fun ... once again ! ;-)

but i think that john should add a ":-)" @ the end of such a writing , because some people ( especially on myspace ! ;-) may indeed take that seriously then ! ;-o

Ok. Who's for setting up a "lifegrab" forum, where we post garbage cryptic messages, allegedly to other Lifegrab "teams"?
We could post "Sideways" type stuff and generally expand the LifeGrab conspiracy.

It's easy to set up free forums (NerveJam.Com forum used to be hosted by someone else, originally..)

Nah. I Can't be arsed either.
