The Cup, the Dream, and the Tin Can: Kicking Out Half a Century With David Thomas

Posted on by EMD

Here it finally is! I worked on this for about two months, basically got paid nothing due to having to buy all the materials I needed to write it, and could only publish it by making it a positive portrayal of David Thomas, because praise moves units, whereas criticism only has an artistic and intellectual value. It was a very successful article; it did huge numbers and lots of people wrote to commend me for writing it, but I can’t be proud of it. I’m working on getting the real story out on this band and music scene, so please follow my work if knowing anyone else’s perspective on the history of this shit is important to you.

Born at Fairview General Hospital in the Year of the Reformation of Pere Ubu, when Jane Scott still ruled the Land. Born of the cybertronic union of Planet E and Channel Z, "getting nothing but static" and techno liberation thru space. I try to imbue music journalism with meaning beyond moving units and I am working on a book about the development and enormous influence of punk and art rock in Northeast Ohio.
