These Welsh language rap rock sound artists seemed to be addressing something called 'anarchia'. I've also been reading John Cale's entertaining autobiography 'What's Welsh For Zen'. It's a beautifully designed book, with lots of pictures and art and is well worth reading even if his music isn't your cup of tea. It also made me laugh way harder than anything I've read by that smug arse licking fact twister PJ O'Rourke, which isn't a high recommendation, I know, but maybe a couple of extracts will be more convincing: "The recording of 'Honi Soit' for A & M marked a new label deal, a new beginning. The militaristic motif on 'Sabotage' had become a dead end and on 'Honi Soit' I really went into a strong political, anarchic sort of writing. I used a producer this time because I couldn't have done the album without one. I told *Mike Thorne*, 'Look I've got a problem. Before I go into a studio, I rehearse all the shit until it turns into vapour. By the time I get into the studio I'm so bored with that shit that what's going to happen is I'm going to start making up songs and one thing will lead to another. I need a record of what I'm going to do in there.' So I had cassettes of the first six days of recording, tape machines running continuously. And we ended up with three times as much material as we had originally intended. We had a number of poems, and tried each against whatever music tracks we had. It ended up as a real drum record, since we worked hard to get good drum parts." 2nd extract: "Collaboration can feel like stealing ideas from the cosmos. The ideas form from the surrounding stimuli. When I was working with Lou, he would always hold the element of surprise, because the 'unthinkable' came to him easily. There was a running joke between us that our improvisations (his with words, mine with noises) were an attempt to frighten our subconscious minds into writing great art." Are you in guns?
