Dropping names like bombs on the dance floor

About Me

I participate as a member of the new virtual class, wondering if I am another piece of data trash, consuming more than I provide. Here we are all one and one is all we are, the closest and furthest we have ever been from attaining a collective consciousness, though one forcefully owned by Rupert Murdoch via the unrestricted free trade of the internet. I have become numbers too small and fast to count unless translated with digital aid. My eyes are your eyes here, my words waiting to be spliced into the semantic synaptic, mere manipulations of the metavirtual. I’m a post-industrial rivethead cyborg musician who hates but utilizes social networking to broadcast my music that would not be possible without the analog and software I eagerly use. My mind’s eye, third eye, is perceptually active while my connection to the divine and the physical connections of my self expression has been scarred, split open to allow the blackest of biles to be pulled from my physical self, manifestations of a karmic debt I don’t believe in to avoid a guilty conscious. Living on the west coast of Vancouver Island has influenced my being. Joey Chaos has been an artistic and musical output device since 2003.
