🎧️ Band: Negativland
💿️ Album: True / False
Double albumTrue False is part of my extensive Negativland collection. One of my favourites, together with "The World Will Decide"
Highlights are "Forth Of July" "Certain Man" "Mounting The Puppy" among other great tracks on this vinyl. They are masters of slicing, cutting, and sampling. If you dont know the band, I highly recommend a listen ;)

Negativland's "Helter Stupid" is a stone cold classic at the intersection of media pranks, culture jamming, experimental music, and 1980s Satanic panic. The guy in the song (whose motivations were lampooned by the album's title track) was just released from prison this week.
I wrote a paper about "Helter Stupid" for a media studies class I took in college. Crazy. https://onlys.ky/negativland-and-me/

Negativland – Dispepsi (1997, US)
Our next spotlight is on number 1004 on The List, submitted by dwenius.
Named after the NEU! track of the same name, Negativland is an experimental sound-collage/plunderphonics band and “multimedia collective”, the original version of which was formed in 1979 by Mark Hosler and Richard Lyons while they were still in high school. By the time they released Dispepsi, their 8th album, they had already gone through a couple interesting episodes involving a hoax press release that got a bunch of media attention linked to a mass murderer case,[1] as well as a multi-year legal battle with U2’s label and their own (along with some FBI nonsense) for an innocently(-ish) named and now withdrawn EP.[2]
Geez.
Dispepsi is a concept album that takes a swipe at the so-called “Cola Wars” and advertising in general by parodying and sampling Pepsi and Coca-Cola commercials, among other things. As per the liner notes:
All of the cola commercials that were appropriated, transformed and re-used in this recording attempted to assault us in our homes without our permission.
Hoping to avoid another legal battle, the original release didn’t actually have the album name on it, and the liner notes instead provided a phone number for fans to call “for the correct spelling and pronunciation of the title of this CD”, lol. Thankfully, unlike U2 and Island Records (and the band’s former label, SST Records, wtf – see footnote 2), Pepsi wasn’t threatened by whatever an obscure art collective that was part of a parody religion[3] and enjoyed nerding out on FM radio[4] was doing. And so, this album, unlike their U2-inspired EP, was allowed to live, and the band continued (and, I think, continues?) to do cool shit[5] and fight for fair use.
Whether this band is new to you (like it is for me) or is an old favourite, give this one a spin today!
- Songlink: Negativland – Dispepsi
- Discogs: Negativland – Dispepsi
- Website: Negativland
- Bandcamp: Negativland (does not include Dispepsi)
- Unable to afford touring their Escape from Noise (1987) album, Negativland put out a hoax press release stating they legally couldn’t tour because the track “Christianity Is Stupid” had inspired mass murderer David Brom…which in turn led to them releasing a concept album, Helter Stupid (1989), making fun of the media coverage on said hoax press release. ↩︎
- Negativland released an EP titled U2 (1991) that sampled and parodied U2’s song “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” alongside a recording of radio DJ Casey Kasem having a meltdown while rehearsing a bit about U2, which led to the band being sued by U2’s label (Island Records) and publisher, and in turn led to: the EP being withdrawn; the band releasing a magazine and accompanying CD called The Letter U and the Numeral 2 (1992) about the matter, which directly led to the band being dropped and sued by their own label (SST Records, wtf); Kasem threatening (but never actually enacting) legal action if the EP ever popped up again; the FBI getting involved after a Negativland fan threatened Kasem; the band releasing a book with an accompanying CD called Fair Use: The Story of the Letter U and the Numeral 2 (1995) chronicling the whole thing; and a documentary being made about it (Sonic Outlaws [1995]). Whew. ↩︎
- At least some members Negativland are part of the Church of the SubGenius, which uses “culture jamming“, an anti-consumerist tactic whose name band member Don Joyce coined. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius ↩︎
- “Over The Edge” was a weekly, free-form audio collage radio show on KPFA FM (Berkeley, California), hosted by Negativland’s Don Joyce from 1981 until his death in 2015. Archived episodes at: https://archive.org/details/ote ↩︎
- I mean, Laurie Anderson herself named their 2020 album The World Will Decide one of her five favourite albums, so they’re clearly doing something right still. ↩︎

1/ Mein Gott! Ich habe schon lange, lange nicht mehr bei Facebook vorbeigeschaut, aber heute habe ich es getan und was muss ich sehen? Die Trumpisten gehen gegen antichristliche Umtriebe vor. Mark Hosler von #Negativland teilt mit, dass es das #ChristianityIsStupid-T-Shirt deshalb wieder zu kaufen gibt.
„On Feb. 6, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the creation of a federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias, a thing that doesn’t actually exist in the way that they are framing it. On that same day Russell Vought was made head of the extremely powerful, yet totally bland sounding, Office of Management and Budget.
You may not have heard of him yet, but, as head of the OMB, Russell Vought, along with Stephen Miller, is going to be one of the most dangerous and impactful officials in the US going forward. Vought is a principal author of Project 2025, the head of the extreme right wing Center for Renewing America, the guy behind pushing for the dangerous and undemocratic Schedule F, the guy behind that spending freeze in early 2025, and, on only day three of his tenure, he was already doing stuff that is illegal and extremely damaging.
Russell Vought is an avowed Christian Nationalist who wants our country to be a theocracy no matter the cost, no matter what laws are broken, no matter who it hurts. This isn't conjecture, it's in everything he's been saying and writing about and pushing for years.“

FYI so I wound up watching STAND BY FOR FAILURE, which was a bit much. While I've loved the albums of #Negativland since the 80s, I knew essentially zero about the members of the group, couldn't have even said their names or identified them out of a lineup. Seeing them in the documentary, they struck me as kinda kooky/creepy eccentrics especially David Wills. He scares me, frankly. Glad he's not my neighbor 🤷♂️

Geez I never even heard of STAND BY FOR FAILURE so now that goes on the must-watch to-do list.
By the way the full film is on YouTube:

Hey did you know I used to tour with the infamous and noisy band Negativland, doing live visuals for them? After one tour I ended up with some merch, including some black t-shirts, which I have now creatively and uniquely altered, and you can buy one here.

As debates over "Generative AI" (which neither "generative," nor "artificial," etc, etc) rage, it's worth revisiting how earlier debates about automation, creativity and appropriation played out.

This track is a pisstake of paranoid ranting idiots on TV and the internet. It's my take on the glorious #plunderphonics of #Negativland and similar acts (mostly Negativland lol). Not something I've released much of but I love playing in this space and it's a personal favorite track.
The title, "WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?" is an obscure meme that grew out of the comments section of a website I used to write for.
