Hello. My name is
Ian Evil, and I am
addicted to
Wikipedia. I can't help it. I love
systems, figuring them out and
taking them apart. It also doesn't help that
industrial music is represented so poorly on there, and
Industrial Culture doesn't exist at all-except as the basic entry for industrial music. It's like a bunch of crusty old
industrial fudamentalists wanted to prove their point to all the
stupid ravers, that industrial is not
dance music. And then sit on the entry and refuse to do that sum of human knowlege[
1] thing that
Wikipedia is about. Also,
Rhythmic Noise is apparently a sub-set of
powernosie. Despite the fact that
Esplendor Geometrico was making rhythmic noise back in
1980, a full decade before the powernoise genre existed and fifteen years before
Noisex coined the term. Plus, what the fuck is
Aggrotech!? That word doesn't exist anywere besides Wikipedia. Who does this shit? Apparently
DIY is about going to the home depot to replace your kitchen hardware, and the genric
stencil is all about
stencil graffiti. And someone keeps vandalizing the entry on
Communism. God damn. There goes all my free time.
Uhh.. I walked out of work back in August. I think. I don't remember or care. I'm doing my own shit now, and helping my friend Rich screen print his indie jobs. It doesn't pay as well, but given all the free time and the strains of being employed gone I'm able to function with a new mindset. Thanks to simple living and devotion to things I care about, I can at least beign to work on dropping out of the system. I make rent, limit my gasoline use, and steal or buy everything else cheap. I cut my first stencil today in about a year. So... duck.
