EARLY DEMO VERSION
rave punk techno breakbeat prodigy moby political eels ultrasonic anarchist crass
Take old skool rave, add indie/punk sensibilities and anarchist politics, shake vigorously, then see what happens...
Total semi-competent amateur and proud of it! There are currently 10 full albums, 5 EPs and numerous stray tracks available here... keep checking up, cos more music is appearing all the time... For album and EP artwork, visit . If you think you can stomach more of this shit, then why not check the , and wonder at my musical development (or lack thereof...) I now also have a page dedicated to I've done for other people... Finally, there's also a wee side project that I have which goes by the name ...

Story behind the song
This is a song about mindless consumerism.
Lyrics
Gimme that gimmick right now! I need it! To keep me entertained and my thoughts restrained To keep my eyes on the new product lines Keep me reaching for my wallet and the latest "must-buys" Cos I read in GQ an article saying it's cool To look, act and think the same way they do And I took it all in cos I'm not much of a thinker Swallowed it all: hook, line and sinker Fear and trembling at being thought un-hip Eagerly absorbing every fashion tip Suppose the clothes I wear really say something 'bout me? Indeed they do: that I lack an identity I'm scared of being alone so I merge with the crowd I'm scared of the silence so I talk really loud I'm scared of the truth, yeah I'm scared of reality So I let them stroke my ego and feed on my vanity I'm hollow inside, got a shallow mind Wearing shades to hide my black holes for eyes And it's no surprise advertisers find I'm a perfect fool for swallowing lies Gimme a definition, yeah gimme a purpose Just gimme something to stop me feeling worthless Gotta try to hide the doubts in my mind Gotta smother the sense of something missing inside Gotta shift my shape to fit the space you've allotted Gotta rig my sails to follow the course you've plotted I'll dance and I'll sing for every jerk of the string Just tell me what to do and I'll do anything Got no will of my own Got no ways of my own Got no mind of my own Got no spine of my own I'm hollow inside, got a shallow mind Wearing shades to hide my black holes for eyes And it's no surprise politicians find I'm a perfect fool for swallowing lies
