I just stumbled across this video and there it is, my comment, written 8 years ago. I was 16-17 years old. Sometimes I think how I got so weird, but it seems I was always like it.
Every once in a while I have to get my fix of this spoken word masterpiece. The first time it was repulsive, the second a little amusing. The third time I realized Gira is a supreme comedic genius.
I feel like this has inspired me to be a better person. This poem has given me a model of the worst possible person and I strive to be different from him in every way.
Listen to this, and Sewer Election's "Kassettmusik" at the same time. It's a sick, twisted quiet ambient noise release, and it fit almost perfectly to this. Just keep it at 50 - 75% volume so you can still hear Gira speak.
But for real, this seems, at least in part, a comment on people who worship authority The details are pretty elaborate, and really makes you feel inside this characters mind, the way his thoughts mix with the description really help But some parts are too over the top, I even laughed sometimes because of how ridiculous some lines were Also, scrotie mcboogerballs
offputting and poetically sickening. i got here because of lydia lunch, but this is very interesting and viscerally gross in its own right. really paints a disturbing picture of abuse and self-hatred. painful to listen to.
Clever way to promote the record, but this should be equally true of just about any noise or ambient release that doesn't include vocals that would get in the way of Gira's narration. It's a neat trick, but I don't quite understand the upvotes.
It sounds like he's trying way too hard to cram all this shock in one poem or short story or whatever. It sounds a bit pretentious but that's ok. I love Swans but I'd really like to know what he had on the TV in the background, it'd be funny to know cause then you can assume that that show inspired this poem/short story.

Elijah Andrews the internet's busiest youtube commenter.
I'm listening to this after eating a large bowl of oatmeal.
Nice to see that Melon was here.

"I fall down like a sack of rotting gelatin" is such a great simile
*I feel good. I like to feel good.*
I FEEL FANTASTIC hey hey hey hey
Yeah I feel fine
And I've waited far too long
that's a quote for the ages

i thought this was edgy comment until i got to my third listen
I feel like this has inspired me to be a better person. This poem has given me a model of the worst possible person and I strive to be different from him in every way.
I feel somehow magnetically attracted to michael gira’s well-written weirdo poetry
It hurts, but I do it for Mister Smothers.
Mr. Smothers is love. Mr. Smothers is life.
I chatspammed this on TF2 and five people left. For some reason I was never kicked.
your admin was cultured
lmaooo

jesus fucking christ this is amazing
I hope it gives you some joy and pleasure.
It’s an unknown pleasure
Jesus, he goes into detail
I love how detailed and well written his stories are while his lyrics are simple sentences
My favourite part is when he starts over
Dr. Aisaitl “Start over... I kick him in the balls...” 😂
The Consumer is a fantastic book. Somehow the morbidity turns into a prayer. Great work.
do you know if there is an audio version of iy
@ there is a pdf available on internet archive.
I use this as asmr
me reciting this over the phone to my bff will be my present to the world
I used to listen to this endlessly on reapeat while stairing at the fan on the roof when i was depressed
You listened to this and odds are someone heard you listening to this.

I'm barely a minute in. This is the same man who wrote We Are Him.
I hate how soothing his voice can sound sometimes.
I like to listen to this every once and awhile for shits and giggles
i listen to it for the shits and gaggles
@@EASFromTheWest good joke buddy
Boy I do enjoy the Hard Rock produced by Michael Gira
now this is a banger
a real certified mental institution classic
you're not a real Yum-Yab Killer if you don't remember this
seriously though
sometimes I look at michaels words and genuinely wonder how he ended up like this
I feel so rejuvenated after listening to this.
I wonder if when Michael Gira was writing this he thought.. hmm, maybe I should keep this to myself. Nah, fuck it..
You see through me
He is perfect. Michael Gira.
This was amazing. I loved this, it fascinated me. The psyche and mind of this character is so detailed and Gira had my full attention at every line.

GOOD ONE norm,..... always at it with the classic jOKEs
This brings me some montage of heck vibes with those strange stories Cobain wrote
Perfect. If anyone can find any other readings from The Consumer I will love you forever.
cry everytime
Happy Valentines day
I need this on vinyl!
I need to hear this narrated by David Attenborough! 😏
what a euphoric listening experience that would be
Jeff Mangum's inspriation
I do it all for Mr. Smothers UwU
Michael should do an Audiobook...I'd listen to it haha

This is what having Pure O Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is like.
But for real, this seems, at least in part, a comment on people who worship authority
The details are pretty elaborate, and really makes you feel inside this characters mind, the way his thoughts mix with the description really help
But some parts are too over the top, I even laughed sometimes because of how ridiculous some lines were
Also, scrotie mcboogerballs
trolled some mfs on gang beasts. they responded and added me to a group chat. I started playing this and they got so fuckin scared lmao
does someone have the lyrics for this? Thanks!
Bruh towards the end my stomach tied itself in a gigantic knot

Obra prima, parece até um Spoken-word feito pelo Carlinhos.

Those first two minutes
Wow literally me

do you have the book. ? then we can talk more
Im too stupid to see if there is any deep meaning behind this or if this is just nothing but depravity from his mind.
Both
aww :D is it Giras own lyrics
?

Too close to home
offputting and poetically sickening. i got here because of lydia lunch, but this is very interesting and viscerally gross in its own right. really paints a disturbing picture of abuse and self-hatred. painful to listen to.
Clever way to promote the record, but this should be equally true of just about any noise or ambient release that doesn't include vocals that would get in the way of Gira's narration. It's a neat trick, but I don't quite understand the upvotes.

It sounds like he's trying way too hard to cram all this shock in one poem or short story or whatever. It sounds a bit pretentious but that's ok. I love Swans but I'd really like to know what he had on the TV in the background, it'd be funny to know cause then you can assume that that show inspired this poem/short story.
