41. Recently, I was listening to the post-punk band
The Cure so I decided to write a quick review.
A band who require no support tonight, who
pushed this venue to near over-capacity and,
before they’ve even played a note, own the room
through anticipation alone
Of course this glistening mood is soon shattered
by some beast called Disintegration a squelching
nightmare of broken glass and chants
To say this record is a collage of its predecessors
would undermine the invention behind it, and while
there are reference points (most clearly Love and
Rockets, they are mostly dispossessed of their
origins through the bands dcoupage of them
Overall though, the first thing this reminds you of
is peerless 'A Forest' in its easy combo of weighty
classicism and a sparkling freshness.

48. Network Identities
When something has an identity:
- it has a presence
- it produces
- it has a personality / voice
- it has it’s own reality
- it has it’s own agency
- it is “animation”
