The Smiths - Miserable Lie
So, goodbye
Please stay with your own kind
And I'll stay with mine
There's something against us
It's not time
It's not time
So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I know I need hardly say
How much I love your casual way
Oh, but please put your tongue away
A little higher and we're well away
The dark nights are drawing in
And your humor is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
And "love" is just a miserable lie
You have destroyed my flower-like life
Not once - twice
You have corrupt my innocent mind
Not once - twice
I know the wind-swept mystical air
It means : I'd like to see your underwear
I recognize that mystical air
It means : I'd like to seize your underwear
What do we get for our trouble and pain ?
Just a rented room in Whalley Range
What do we get for our trouble and pain ?
...Whalley Range !
Into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her ...
I need advice, I need advice
I need advice, I need advice
Nobody ever looks at me twice
Nobody ever looks at me twice
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh ...
I'm just a country-mile behind
The world
I'm just a country-mile behind
The whole world
Oh oh, oh ...

When's the music gonna stop
Fuck Recycling
I’ve grown up believing
that the environments problems
were mine, that as a consumer
I possessed the answer
I believe that was pure bullshit
I believe that the environmental issues
that we all face are a matter for government
and the state
to make the difficult
hard decisions
that need to be made
They are not mine, individually.
But ours. And we’ve elected successive
gov.’s that have failed to engage constructively with
the issues. Just tredding water
passing the buck to the next one
who does the same,
well, when’s
the music gonna stop
I will keep recycling
though I hate it
cause you’ve made me do it
and I follow the logic
What else could we be doing.
Will it really make a difference
Show me the difference
in a way that is like show me all those who
profited from 9/11 and then blow up a building,
in terms of making the difference a tangible real
was a connection able to be made
If not.
Fuck your environmental guilt
I’ll eat plastic shit if I want to
and derive enormous pleasure from
trashing it in your pristine forest waters skies and eyes
I’ll take dumps in your lives with brightly colored packages
It’s my expression of freedom
NO I WILL NOT PICK UP THE RUBBISH
I PUT IT THERE
you do it. Or better yet
pass a law that makes real pollution
go away.
Disappear.
Make the poisoners of our environment
go away. Stop
Cry a little. Then stop.

Note to poor. Ink on napkin, 2017
Wells Tao Khye Hitchcock Cool. I was informed by Gaby Montejo, that however a poster of my work had been printed can you confirm this?
Manage
Khye Hitchcock Gaby
will respond - believe it's going in an anti fashion show and possibly
in the small exhibition hang of posters that were't able to be hung
outside in the cafe due to our lease agreements and responsibility to
tenants and a myriad of other curatorial considerations. I'll leave it
to The Social from here.

Khye Hitchcock Also
the sexist/inappropriate comments and attempts to belittle me based on
social media representation/appearance, particularly referring to me as
'sweet pants' on a semi-public social media forum after determining that
I'm the curator of this exhibition are really unprofessional and have
been noted, and not just by me.

Wells Tao not very social really.
· Reply · I believe I have successfully articulated 'identify politics' falling over. Where those professing to 'care' become the biggest bullies.
Who knew curators, artists, had so much in common with WINZ staff.
Khye Hitchcock is the curator of a show in Christchurch NZ that along with a panel of ten like minded individuals banned my invited work from public showing, then offered to put it on a T-shirt for a 'anti-fashion' show, which I have decided is too much a capitalist strategy so nah.
The reason for it being banned was that it was against the shows
"Kaupapa" which as I understand it had something about hanging out with
each others and being groovy to one another.
Hilarious. But also sad.
It's like, not only has free speech left Chch with its democracy, but any semblance of it, post the 'gap filler' chch propaganda status quo art movement, is an overwhelming threat.
Not very Social really.
