[terrence-silver]

Terry in a dress is beautiful. I also imagine that he likes to wear extravagant jewelry, such as collars or chokers dripping with diamonds, sparkling dangling earrings and he even has a tiara that he likes to put on and admire himself in occasionally.

Yes, yes, yes! Like, I refuse to believe Terry has never just...adorned himself, you know? Admired himself in such cases, in front of some great, big boudoir mirror and a collection of jewelry that would put anyone to shame in some chamber nobody but him accesses. A literal closet, if you will. An infinitely lavish one, but still a closet. With so many masks, personas, invented characteristics, re-invented characteristics, so many skins shed, so much experimentations with identity, so much self-discovery and self-repression, costuming, posturing, an almost fluid sense of self, an illusory being blending into a real one, Terry Silver just sometimes wants to be a thing of absolute and classical beauty that could easily belong on a silverscreen, transcending gender and sex, all while embracing it --- and so he is.

YBC Hot Takes: Where Did The Party Go?

And it’s back again, after a short break while we cleared the snakes and the blood out of the lecture hall and refreshed the donut tray. Please to be remembering that the banquet of Patrick’s organs is for Demonstration Purposes Only, and not to be consumed, thank you very much. Also, stick with the oranges, because the apples are all filled with blood. Hey, I don’t make the rules back in the Peterick Institute Mess Hall, I just wear the tinfoil hats.

Today, we’re hot-taking Where Did The Party Go? - arguably the funnest bop to murder to on the whole album. The boys have said that this was the first song to have gelled for them when they started writing and making music again, and the lyrical message encapsulates the reason they gave for why they came back together when and how they did.

Where Did The Party Go? - Kill Your Darlings, Darling--They're Already Dead

Patrick and the parts of himself that have scattered in terror are experiencing two very different realities. Patrick is in a club-like party atmosphere but the partygoers are all zombies, while his parts/friends are running through a deserted, abandoned hospital.

Everybody was writing songs about “partying in the club” but nobody was writing songs for the kids who were outside the club, or really examining that aesthetic with a critical or ironic or even a little bit cheeky of an eye. So the boys came back to Save Rock and Roll from a little bit of its own hype. Let’s go down, down...

Patrick is listening to his hallucinations/demons/zombies living in his reality as he hunts down the parts of himself that are fleeing from this monstrous and distorted interaction between him and the world.

The (real) nurse at the desk points him to the hallway where Joe, Andy, and Pete ran, the girl in the wheelchair guides him into the exam rooms that the other guys have run through.

But while these entities are guiding him, they're not doing it altruistically or without price. They draw him further into the distorted post-apocalyptic world they inhabit by talking to and interacting with him.

In the zombie party room, Patrick is tangled up with personas from hospital staff (helper-archetypes), to other patients/inmates (colleagues), to football jocks and club kids and old folks (fans, critics, and the public).

Then he meets Naughty Nurse who is dressed as a parody of a caregiver worn by a stripper. The hospital staff were wearing actual scrubs, but Naughty Nurse is clearly a distortion--a costume worn by a stripper/performer (whose function is transactional rather than restorative--she's there to take rather than give).

Naughty Nurse appears as a caregiver, but is there in the capacity of torment in the form of titillation (the chief function of striptease performances) in a transactional milieu. Strippers perform for money by creating an illusion of intimacy in exchange for financial compensation. The intimacy of performance within the industry (the financial/moral support, the yes-men, the fawning, the adoration from audiences) is largely illusory...and if the transaction does not provide satisfaction, then that intimacy/support is cut right off (like a hand) or choked off (like a cord wrapped around the neck of your guitarist who is really your creative side in human form).

The party zombies are taking meds and drugs and IV sedatives to (self-)medicate (much as it's not so hard to go from Step One-Drink, Step Two-Make Mistakes, Step Three-Pretend You Don't Remember...). In the distorted world of celebrity when your star power has faded or never sparked enough to catch fire or failed expectations (couldn't get booked at the opening of a letter), the difference between a dance and a post-mortem twitch is hard to discern, and something that looks like intimacy can be an emotionless transaction.

His Confidence (Pete) is desperately trying to get a line out to the outside world--to reach out (perhaps in a blog post written late at night after too much to drink). To call for help from the outside via a faulty connection and a distortion-filled line.

His Integrity (Andy) is desperately seeking disinfection (purification, cleansing) and treatment to stop the hemorrhaging of a wound to the core, and gritting through the pain, hiding out in a closet just trying to protect itself.

His Creativity (Joe) is desperately seeking inspiration to go on. Stuck searching the cabinets and drawers of an empty room for a bit more to give, some way to turn it around. Searching for a way out, in between bouts of terrifying paralysis when confronted with the angry demon of a Patrick (his own self, soulless) without his confidence or his integrity or his creativity.

Only the embittered, delusional shell views the world through a sulphur-and-brimstone gaze in a dark twisted parody of the golden sunlight he's always cast over his work.

Without his soul parts, the only way out he can see is for him to murder his Creativity--choke off his wonderful weirdness and brilliance in order to provide the prepackaged, tame, predictable, made-by-committee, marketable, meaningless stuff that the industry wants.

Bearing in mind that music consumption itself was changing drastically, the music that was being marketed as mainstream had shifted, and a lot of people banking on something that had been relatively predictable for quite some time were losing a lot of fucking money banking on those expectations they thought were a healthy, living organism, but were really just the post-mortem twitches of something that was already dead and turning into something else.
