Lack of Energy or Interest

Lack of Energy or Interest, Psychedelic Trip Hop, deranged and rocking in unequal measures - a relic of nowhere - pretensious drivel .

# # # + + + Lack of Energy or Interest was a band formed by three 16 year olds in 1998 (or whenever) with the sole aim of being pretentious (like ). Two young stoners ( and ) and one young synth and prog rock geek (, who now sports a fantastic ginger afro/mullet combo). We made mainly long (5-30 minutes long) jams, of repetitive electronic loops with synth noodling and guitar wanking. We then used these as drafts to help us create condensed moments of genius (commonly called 'songs'!) sometimes tightly structured and rehearsed, sometimes loose and lolloping..... occasionally joined in with his cheesey guitar skills and some samples i made of his terrible spazz fits ("scratches and wriggles up your anus")!!!! ... yes, well!

Story behind the song

I was sixteen when i wrote this song back in 1999, at music tech college - discovering crazy stuff like stockhausen and cage in the library but been told by tutors that music needs structure and melody etc (RAMTIFT ... ) - this is how we met it both ways - this is the version with backing vocals by Judith King on it - i finally found my copy, it's much better than the one without.......

Lyrics

There's a new religion called pop music
That's been forced on me and is making me sick
We're not vocalists but we have to sing
I'm not for the charts and then the bargain bin
I don't come from the school of the Beatles or the Stones
Yes, I hate Oasis, Steps and the Sterophones
Music is an art, with no place for rules
Music is an art, with no place for rules

Without chords, Without structure
With dissonance, With a difference
Without the use of a scientific formula
For creating a single, A nice pop hit
For little girls, For little boys
For little minds, For capital
The biggest disease of the western civilisation is pop music

Four minutes and thirty three seconds
Music completely to chance occurrence
The creative function of non-control
Solid bands of sound, Indefinite pitch
A variety of articulations and special effects
