Busy For An Eternity

"Dear random person"... was written on the old Chadderandom Abyss site.
Random is an emblematic word: random is the user who finds T.C.A. and random seem the sounds that welcome the listener.
But is "random" the right word?

This album was one of the first releases i have listened to here on Jamendo.
I felt attracted to it because of its cover: an old-style (in the personal computer era) picture representig a girl and a mask of Death.
MySpace replaced the old Geocities site, but substance has not changed: everything in T.C.A. is old-style.
His covers, his voice à la Robert Johnson, his defaced "blues" songs.
You could think that I'm raving, but what I mean can be explained by a statement from the old T.C.A. site:
"But, I mean, seriously, who has a geocities site in 2007, anyway?"
Do you understand?
The Chadderandom Abyss is traditional music for the internet generation!
The Chadderandom Abyss is a classic.
He reminds me of the old free internet, not cool, but free (and anarchic enough).

From my Italian/European (probably stereotyped) point of view his figure and his music smell like American hystory, the place where you can find boring prohibitionists and people like Louis Thomas Hardin alias Moondog alias The Viking of 6th Avenue or Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart).
The Chadderandom Abyss is a quite typical figure in the American and Internet hystory.
He is not as random as you may think...
