face it, you're living a longtime relationship with the things you know, that's why they appear old, used or even boring to you. time to change the point of view maybe?

whatever happened to the future?
did it become an outdated concept?

as I sat watching Matthew Herbert and his bag of crisps band last night, I
realised I was watching a 50 year old (at least) show.

then, I thought, all the bands I've seen lately have harked to the past,
really heavily. All the records I buy are obsessed with the past, or are
old.

even techno isn't futuristic any more. Jeff Mills scores films from the
'20's, Red Planet titles are all about native american indian issues,
instead of "sex in zero gravity" or "journey to the martian polar
cap"...... There's no "time, space, transmat" business anymore. I mean,
even the word "transmat" was made up wasn't it? No one does that any more,
there's no dreamers left, just flippin' historians.

so why? is it too scary to contemplate any more?
