The Talk of Creatures

it's an act of contrasting interpretations of how anonymity can be played. when Charles is presented to us, there is a certain blurring between what can be considered "fact" and what can be considered "fiction". theres something quite real about his Test Tube of Tomorrow journals. when you contrast him with Randy- practically a hilariously exaggerated portrait of a person, but with Randy, his exaggeration reveals aspects of who he is. with Charles, there seems to be a degree of encouragement to see him as Just A Person.

that all applied up until he left the band and began working with Hardy, so it wouldn't be ridiculous to assume his journals were all based in fact. who's to say if he has fully removed the chains of anonymity, though? i DO appreciate that he is making music just for the hell of it according to how he wants to work. his rate of output is INSANE! i like it.
