the happy mondays were/are exactly as robert describes them, drug addled lunatics who created and still create a very modern music that includes echos of rap and funk and acid house. damn cool but not very attractive to american audiences as they are so very english. very manchester.

Coil I can live with... Whilst The Mondays ... never rated them. Think your later nod toward The Fall is more what I'd like to at least aspire to. At times, for me, it's like Leafcutter John or Biosphere, or Van Der Graaf Generator, too. It often gets Prog. It's Punk is processed through Prog, in my opinion. So it's a kind of POst Rock! More seriously - if we have to get serious, which we don't - Discharge is in the direction of Fluxus mostly, to my mind: a diaspora, not a group or team or band. I like that.

Fluxus took from Dada but was distinct in many respects. Ono was interesting, yes. We are a diaspora. You brought us together in this one place. I thank you for that - complete idealism, in essence. How many people beyond the contributors and ex-contributors know Dischage exists, though? Does that matter to you, CJ - or any of you?

a tree falls in forest and there is no one to see or it hear it fall but it still falls.
of course you are right. no leader. anarchy without chaos. creation without constraint. yes, i agree. i too like that. like the idea of diaspora.
and no, i really couldn't care less.

i flash this site all over the net
there's a lot fo amazing work here that i think is deserving of a wider audience
but u can only lead the horses to the water
i mean, why more people dont link to this amazing blog is beyond me
i dont worry about it too much, though
at the peak of my noteriety as a blogger i recieved, regularly between 70 to 100 comments. head expanding stuff. the truth is though i only got those comments because i, new blogger then, went out and reciprocated with comments of my own onto 'friends' sites.the reason discharge isn't better known is because i now refuse to play that game. the game of, 'i will praise you if you will praise me'. however, judging by the e-mails i get asking to join discharge, i think we may have a larger audience than we realise.
