Like Bogardting the joint – something you oft did in Jozi – you have now Bogardted you article – just when i thought stop and hand the work to someone else, Wodja Wabit wiould contniue bogarding his article, like he had to add more because what he added could never be enough. and in the end you just get yourself linguisticaly stoned. What was the piece about again?

Gee, now I understand even less. Thanks folks. By the way, has the memory lapsed to the point that someone forgot how to spell cognoscenti – unless we’re talking about some central African phenomenon that I have also not discovered?

avant guard-the name of a hip new security company that uses out of work artists and musicians?

Back in the bad old days the avant garde was an albatross around the necks of its enthusiasts, a signifier that you were into stuff like Karlheinz Stockhausen or Cecil Taylor, the kind of stuff that no one else had time for that also guaranteed you weren’t much fun at parties. Now its a label that pretentious music fans eagerly attach to their favourite bands in order to polish their status as congoscenti of pop culture.

Aaah yes, “The Pretoria Avant Garde” is a movement about as active as the Reykjavik beach volleyball scene or the obsession with ice hockey currently sweeping through the population of Madras. Still, what can we expect from a city whose idea of architectural splendour involves nothing more than the juxtaposition of faux Tuscan finishes with neon lighting?

See, anyone’s idea of what may be “avant garde” depends largely where they come from and what they’re used to. That term could just as easily apply to a Prime Circle gig in Sasolburg. If Isochronous were to play in Europe or the east coast of America, that tag would be the most distant thing from any audience’s mind.

i believe it to be a collaborative affair between kidofdoomsters, Isochronous and Yesterday’s pupil. slow down with the symbols benito.
