the revolutionary politics of dance [06 Jul 2008|01:47pm]

notquitedeadyet
I'm looking for an interview with An Albatross that was published some years ago. A part of it is the following:

"Essentially, it is a future primitive method of bringing people together and completely dismantling the individual’s work ethic that the protestants have instilled in western society. We do this by way of the revolutionary politics of dance, by gathering people together, by sharing sweat, by sharing love and by sharing the electrical zaps that are synapses that jilt while we’re listening to music and engaging in pleasureful acts. It is whether you’re having a feast or you’re having a wonderful show or having sex. Whatever that group, that one on one, or one on twenty, or one on a hundred, or one on twelve thousand experiences... the culmination of it all and the beautiful feeling of it all is that of the Lazer Viking. In fewer words, it’s just ‘coming together.’”

Does anybody know where I can find the full interview?

Its for a zine i'm working on.

-Thanx

THE PHILADELPHIA SOUL/FUNK/PSYCHE SUMMIT CONTINUES DEC. 21st, 2007!!!
in case you haven't been properly informed - the two philadelphian funk/soul titans,
Mr. Pharmacist's TURNAROUND and Rusty Seger/Bro's Gieda's IMMEDIATE have conjoined
to create some serious soul-synergism (1+1=3, y'dig?) at the Turnaround Vs. Immediate,
happening monthly at our favorite new bar,The Barbary.

This month, we are pleased to present for your aural satisfaction, Mr. Ian Svenonius
of The Make Up / Weird War / Nation Of Ulysses fame as our guest DJ.

We're talking about serious dancefloor kineticism. We're talking about a meeting of the minds
and a chance to unwind and let your hair hang down. Let's get together and sweat out the yule,
children. The time is NOW!

TURNAROUND VS IMMEDIATE!

atomicgarden
so the show tonight in Portland, Maine
is there any chance someone will read this and happen to know where it's happening?
the interwobs say "spacelab." where is this mysterious place of mystohreez?
seriously, and all goofy spelling aside, does anyone know where the show is?
