well i finished reading the de-loused story booklet
#the mars volta
#jesus fucking christ that ending is bleak
#idk if anyone else came away with that impression but
#the whole of it is so out there that the final piece just...dragging your forcibly into
#remembering that its abt a real persons real suicide is just really heartbreaking
#i think it is a worthwhile question to ask like. does deloused (story and album)
#work as a memorial to julio venegas
#does it memorialize. does it do so in a way thats befitting
#and honestly i went into reading it thinking 'no' but ive come away with a different impression
#theres nuance in it but the gut punch of how barebones the last part is compared to the rest imo make a commentary on them
#on the need to like. commodify death into something eclectic and enjoyable and intellectually stimulating and sufficiently weird
#but then in the end its just a death. its a very painfully real death.
#you dont get 'resolution' on what happens when he 'goes back' because theres no such thing. he dies
#and then like....taking that in concert with ambuletz? as a piece separate from the album but functioning as its closer? whoof
#its distressing and sad and real in ways i hadnt thought it attribute to the album itself before
#and it kinda makes it all the more sad that the selling point of the album is 'morphine and rat poison'
#that very knee jerk morbid fascination is exactly what it winds up critiquing
#even as some of the earlier parts perpetuate it by being graphic in certain ways and like. trying to hook you on those points
#idk its interesting im glad i read it. i may yet again
#frances remains my main interest and im glad for it bc i think to a certain extent tearing into deloused with that kind of zealous rigor
#is disrespectful to the very dead it seeks to show respect
#uhm anyway back to being normal
