this motif of repe­ti­tion that showed up in s&i keeps appear­ing in daily life – more so for myself than for simon – it seems that the con­di­tion­ing that I received in front of count­less repet­it­ive tele­vi­sion pro­grams has increased my immunity to bore­dom – two hours of mtv, five hours of char­ity con­cert… i love the idea that we came up with of cds explor­ing the crack and hiss of a record as a sound effect… how can my gen­er­a­tion find its iden­tity when even our music is some­body else’s revis­ited? has the dis­il­lu­sion­ment spread so far? i noted a play called pho­to­cop­ies of god… yes, even that reas­sur­ance of the insec­ure is being recre­ated in new wave forms, new age declarations.
