The List 2004: Materialistic Fetishism Reconsidered: (A last-minute gift-giving guide) by Doug Harvey
I’ve been spending most of
my spare time recently figuring out how to get rid of crap, and sifting
what’s left into clusters of relative importance — what I can take
if I have to leave the country with 30-minute, 24-hour, or two-week notice.
It’s a constant struggle to avoid giving in to my twin senses of historic
archival responsibility and regular consumer lust. The great thing about the
holiday gift-giving season is that, by permitting me to purchase cool shit for
the less enlightened, it affords me vicarious consumer thrills without actually
messing with the austere feng shui of my live/work space. Here’s a
compendium of this year’s most idiosyncratic must-give
items.
If you must watch TV, please watch cable access. If you don’t get cable access, go to www.publicaccesshollywood.com and order a $12 postage-paid copy of this year’s most underappreciated documentary, Public Access Hollywood, featuring local legend Francine Dancer (performing her should-be hit Pizza Box), Christian Scientific Ventriloquist David Hart, postmodern psychedelic deconstructionists the Three Geniuses and other auteurs of the last frontier of American free expression.
