Alex Cameron on Ketamine
I would imagine that Alex Cameron would be the last person to describe himself as prescient or intuitive let alone a role model. But here we are, 3 years after the release of "Oxy Music" and the single K Hole really provides us with insight into the mind of the, gag, world's richest man. Artist like Cameron help us to see men as we are, frail subjects of a misogynistic hell world. Where we are goaded by our own egotism into a bad trip hurled beyond psychedelic ecstasy and tortured by the insecurities we give power over us. But unlike Elon Musk, Alex Cameron croons and lilts listeners towards a mild self-awareness. It's funny because it is the remedy that men need. To laugh at ourselves.
It might appear like I'm driving straight for the mote
But it's one of those cars that turns into a boat
A serial killer for the pain
A wet TV left on the street in the rain
For those unfamiliar with his work imagine Connor O'Malley's "Cory" as an antipodian sibling in a white leisure suit. Alex Cameron is a failed singer-songwriter crooner who is stuck in a K Hole trying to convince somebody, probably his partner, that he's stable. Maybe the treatment worked? Maybe the answer, "There's only room for one in a K hole" was there all along? Cameron's song is only a stronger panacea as men become more mentally ill because we take ourselves too seriously.
