Damn. For a moment I read "sucker" instead of seeker. Self projection much?
nofriend•9mo ago
That's the original saying, it's hardly surprising that you'd be mistaken.
dennis_jeeves2•9mo ago
>Self projection much?

Or the world around you...

thristian•9mo ago
I can recommend The Further Adventures of Nick Danger as a decent introduction to Firesign Theater (It's on YouTube). A lot of the other stuff I've heard is chaotic to the point of confusion, but Nick Danger does have an actual story that resolves in the traditional way.
turdlygurdly•9mo ago
Everything You Know is Wrong was my introduction and I also highly recommend it. Absolutely chaotic, but for people who are patient it can be really good the first time through. After a few listens it's just plain incredible.

Is there a verse missing out of the song?
throwaway81523•9mo ago
From November 2024. I didn't mis-read the title but thought had several guesses about the subject matter. None of them were close. I wasn't deeply into Firesign but I loved what I heard.
imafish•9mo ago
tldr: It is not about Harry Potter.
remram•9mo ago
nor about The Sword of Truth

A very different time and political backdrop, but the way people talk about this as a psychedelic, collective experience reminds me of Blue Jam, Chris Morris’s deranged late-night ambient comedy show:

"Seeker" to me means a fan, devotee or follower of the late great Ken Campbell.

I discovered, with some difficulty, that this was about some US (?) radio (?) show I've never heard and barely heard of and a couple of paragraphs later, I realised I did not care and stopped reading.

I do not like bits of writing that assume context and don't explain their referents. People who share that context are typically very annoyed by this and feel attacked when I point it out.

Ah well.

turdlygurdly•9mo ago
Literally right at the top of the article: 'Colin Marshall reviews Jeremy Braddock’s “Firesign: The Electromagnetic History of Everything as Told on Nine Comedy Albums.”'

If that's not enough context I'm not sure what would be

lproven•9mo ago
Well, for starters, you need to know that "Firesign" means "Firesign Theatre".

To know that, you probably need to live in the country where Firesign Theatre performed or was heard. TBH I do not really know what the Firesign Theatre is or was. It started the year before I was born, and I'm pretty old, but I'm not American.

this a phenominon of a niche group, tries to float something as a known thing, kind of cultic in the nasty response to any input from anyone blithly evaluating the "cannon" as distributed by the iluminati. VS, just invite people to take a look VS, groups that know they are fringe, and get on with there fun, like seeing a lifted truck, covered in stickers, and wierd accessories, plasterd with mud and debrits, and one sticker that says "if you have to ask, you wont understand" good enough!, live and let live but the line is, to posture as a universaly known and valued thing, and be no such thing at all
lproven•9mo ago
I found that a bit hard to follow first time around, but on re-reading it a few times, you're absolutely right.
