Have I written about italo here before? It's one of the only things I truly love. Anyway, I was chatting with my pal Kenny about italo the other day. I should mention that Kenny is angry, bearded and tends to wear t-shirts with band names on them. If Kenny were into computers, he'd wear shirts with unix jokes on them, but he's into gay disco. And he's angry.
So there's this guy in Dublin. He has a moustache. If Dublin were to have a scene, he'd be a scenester. He is, to put it politely, a cunting moron. Anyway, rumor has it that he's gotten with the program and is starting an italo night.
Here's what Kenny had to say about the fact that a guy with glittery jumpers is trying to co-opt Kenny's favorite ultra-gay, ultra-cheesy, '80s Italian disco music:
"blood is going to spill over this bullshit. stay the fuck away from my music you cunts"
It reminds me of Jack London's critiscsm of the monotony of cockney swearing, using one "unmentionable word", as opposed to what he thought was creative ,vigorous American profanity.
