about
so, we all know what the most important thing that happened in the 90s was....
yes. oj. you were expecting this, admit it.
i feel that, despite the myriad of angles and analyses, the most important question of all was never asked: what would homer j simpson think about the trial of orenthal j simpson? this answers that question, by exploring the optics around the whole thing from the perspective of homer.
seriously.
ok, so maybe the oj trial wasn't actually a joke, but it certainly seemed like it was. and that's actually kind of what i'm trying to get across here. i watched far more cnn than the average 16 year-old (note the particularly egregious decision to rhyme "menendez brothers" with "unabomber"), but i was still mostly getting my news on the topic from conan. on that level? it was, in fact, a joke.
thinking back, we were all so ridiculously obsessed. the school (this is the second half of grade 10) actually arranged to have live televisions on every floor to broadcast the verdict. classes were suspended to watch, then cancelled to discuss. like, did that even happen for the fucking moon landing?
so, i'm sort of mocking the whole thing. yet, i'm also mocking the idea that it was somehow turning oj into some kind of role model. 'cause it definitely wasn't. well, unless, maybe, you think on roughly the level of homer j simpson.
i spent a lot of time trying to clean the audio on this up and eventually concluded that i can't do much besides boost the mids. if you listen closely, there's some neat guitar harmonies, but they're really buried and i just can't get them out. i don't remember most of the lyrics, exactly, and can't really make them out well.
there is a frank zappa sample at the beginning of the track.

this is the archive for the artist formerly known as jason parent and now known as jessica
murray.
the music here has shifted dramatically over many years, from roots in punk/grunge through to experimental synth pop and into a type of kitchen sink post-rock with heavy electronics. the only consistency throughout is a lack of consistency, guitars and an impressionist aesthetic.
