I have this feeling that writing about "DA ALPACALYPSE" would render the same responses as the last 3 blogs I wrote today

But Ill do it anyway! To fully comprehend the alpacalypse, to acknowledge the total collapse of centralized orders, one must embody my favorite alpacalypse day album, the cancelled earth.

Described on the band's last.fm page:
"The Cancelled Earth album is the result of almost a decade of sporadic field recordings mainly recorded in airports, train stations, various tunnels and under numerous bridges all greatly polished and turned into a refined mass of desolate ambience and subtle hypnosis all engulfed in Pär’s (the sole member of the project) legendary signature sound. "


This is exactly how I view the alpacalypse. You have all these occurrences defying and defiling nature, occurrences of combustion and fashioning the earth for transportation, that would become useless to humanity, as their sole purpose was to serve the artificial bonds now shuffled off. People now look out into the world around them one morning and don't observe the stress of efficiency, the inane means of labor justified by the end of surviving capitalism, and most of all, the intolerable cacophony produced by the overpopulated and inconsiderate first world. All they see is the beauty of nature we try to hide with production. Look at this picture from that old crappy Hitler channel series Life After People:

As you can see, the fauna and flora have overcome the oppression of civilization to a point of purely ecstatic harmony. This is a great fruition of the logical conclusion the album draws, worded above as "various tunnels and under numerous bridges all greatly polished and turned into a refined mass of desolate ambience." Although these views may seem generic for a typical Hinsdalian lower-middle class pseudo-hippy liberal arts asshole such as myself, I wish more than anything else to be submerged in such a world as that described by the album.

  1. On the contrary writing a response would distinguish yourself since ur opinion on matters seem to be quite different

  2. Do you think that your opinion on this issue is better just in theory, as opposed to actually having to live in this type of world?
