I just stumbled across this essay while listening to some possibly affiliated tracks from a band calling itself Humpasaurus Jones.
Interesting, timely work, even more so since it seems to’ve been written three years ago. If anyone can find anything writtem by this persona after 2013, please hit me up with a link.
