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.
yes, the fall. must not forget them. fluxus (via yoko for me)has always struck me as being dada but with another name (???)same meat different gravy, maybe i misunderstand. like diaspora though!

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?
Probably not - LOL!
not one tinkers cuss
