\"Elijahcher2\"<\/a> Last week I started a new job doing content updates for a company in Internet governance. My commute is less than three miles and I sit in a quiet office with a view of the lovely marina in Marina Del Rey. I love it! I’m mostly swapping out War-and-Peace amounts of Internet policy documents. Not exactly sexy in the land of Hollywood and pop culture but I like it. It appeals to my inner nerd. I also get to learn Dreamweaver, web compliance standards, and how the Internet works. Never considered that before. I look forward to the next few months of coding, editing and watching LA sunsets from my window.  Plus the bathrooms are clean. Which is more than I can say for my last LA office job downtown. *Shudder*<\/p>\n

As I was doing laundry this weekend, I read up on my Ann Wylie\/PRSA<\/a> newsletters full of writing tips. There I found out about a new word: verbidical<\/em> which means \u201c a condition that exists when a person believes he or she is skilled in the use of words (a verbalist), but in reality is grammatically challenged.\u201d<\/p>\n

For some reason, this word immediately reminded me of Cher peripheral Elijah Blue Allman<\/a>. Maybe this is because I just perused the latest Deadsy CD (Phantasmagore<\/a> \u2013 their second album). I caught up on Elijah news and Deadsy history with Wikipedia<\/a>. The CD was released last August, 2006. If you remember, Elijah went on Howard Stern<\/a> to promote it and made headlines for his comments about Paris Hilton being unclean in her nethers.<\/p>\n

Where do I start with Elijah? Why talk about Cher-spawns at all? Normally I would say leave the kids out of your celebrity obsessions! However, Cher\u2019s two children are very public by choice: both have put out either records or books, or made reality TV or radio appearances. And both talk about life with Cher; so their experiences seem relevant to my continuing, albeit pointless, Cher scholarship.<\/p>\n

In trying to process the Deadsy project<\/a>, I’ve had to wade through an onslaught of artifice that leaves even Cher in the dust. Such artifice includes: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Band mates all having pseudonyms: Elijah only goes by Phillips Exeter Blue I. But hey, when you have an unusual name to begin with, self-picking an even odder name has no effect. <\/li>\n
  2. Deadsy image making is so heavy-handed. For the album Commencement<\/em>, the images were about boarding schools, secret societies, uniforms. But it was a vapid message; I never gained any insight into these institutions. <\/li>\n
  3. In this albums incarnation, the band has color-coded outfits intended to represent the following categories: academia, leisure, war, horror, and medicine\/science. There’s some overlap here: academia encompasses medicine\/science and horror overlaps with war. And what does this gesture serve anyway? The album’s lyrical content doesn\u2019t fully support the gimmick. Instead, I just feel the sudden urge to play Trivial Pursuit. Or maybe we\u2019re already playing it. <\/li>\n
  4. In interviews Elijah likens the lyrics and band to an art project or a David Lynch film but not any specific school of art or specific David Lynch film. And here is where I feel Elijah and the band are intellectually lazy. Their art gestures are too general. <\/li>\n
  5. The band has a logo: a TV Test Pattern which reflects back to artifice #3. I know. Why? <\/li>\n
  6. Wikipedia claims the band has a manifesto. I know I should have read it but as Susan Sarandon says in Witches of Eastwick<\/em>, sometimes I just can\u2019t face it. <\/li>\n
  7. Deadsy refers to their fans as legions<\/em>. This fact elicited laughter from my significant roomie<\/em> who declared, \u201cthat\u2019s the most ironic statement of all.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If there’s truly irony or satire here, it\u2019s empty overkill. The fact that the project may be ironic and may be serious is a weak position. You have to be brave with satire and irony. <\/p>\n

    Elijah, being the product of two unique vocalists, is likewise unique. However, his hardcore, menacing vocals feel inauthentic to me. Like he\u2019s trying too hard. But far worse are his interview snippets in reviews where he attempts brilliance that try even harder. What results are nonsensical posings. It doesn\u2019t even work as satire. These antics are the predictable exercises of every budding artist\u2026.in high school. But from a man who’s just crossed the threshold of 30, it\u2019s plain adolescent. And the content just doesn\u2019t back up the bravado. <\/p>\n

    Okay, maybe I have a bad attitude about Deadsy or Elijah or the whole circle of 30-something nere-do-wells who produce the bulk of Hollywood gossip right now. I did go see Deadsy a few years ago at the Roxy in LA. The band kept stopping mid-song (I don\u2019t like it when Lucinda Williams<\/a> does it either \u2013 but at least she is truly brilliant). Elijah blamed \u201celectricity.\u201d On Howard Stern he said his performance wasn\u2019t up to par due to jet lag. Snap out of it! <\/p>\n

    And must you have contempt for everything? The problem is he doesn’t come across as any smarter than what he has contempt for. <\/p>\n

    As I read aloud funny interview blurbs, my significant roomie weighed in with this conclusion: When you grow up in the cradle of celebrity and money, you don\u2019t get to say how stupid society is. Because you\u2019ve never truly lived it, slum around all you like. It\u2019s like William Shatner<\/a> & Joe Jackson singing Common People<\/em>: <\/p>\n

    \n

    "Smoke some fags and play some pool
    pretend you never went to school;
    but still you\u2019ll never get it right
    when you\u2019re lying in bed at night
    watching roaches climb the wall.
    If you call your Dad,
    he could stop it all.
    You\u2019ll never live like common people;
    you\u2019ll never watch your life slide out of view
    and dance and break and screw
    …because they\u2019re nothing else to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (Banks, Doyle, Mackey, Senior & Cocker) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    You have plenty else to do: like get a record deal or visit Howard Stern and talk about screwing Paris Hilton (call her unclean); or talk about screwing Bijou Phillips (3 o\u2019clock slop) or screwing Heather Graham (dumb as a shoe).  <\/p>\n

    Elijah as a person owes us nothing. As an artist, he owes us something for our attention. I wish he would just give us something honest about his life experience instead of this elaborate junk which just accentuates what is possibly a low self-esteem. Maybe not. But if all the drama with heroin, goth artifice, and hatin’ on women hadn\u2019t betrayed him yet, the emptiness of Deadsy will eventually. <\/p>\n

    Not that anyone asked\u2026(aw heck, I ask myself)\u2026.if I were Elijah what would I do? I would strike the slate clean. Revamp, refurbish, rethink it. Take it all down and start from a more genuine place. \"Cherfamily_1\"<\/a> Own up to who you are. There\u2019s nothing wrong with being a son of celebrity. It\u2019s one thing to say that; it\u2019s another thing to believe it. Besides, you have no choice. And what\u2019s left to be said about artifice in 2007 anyway? Even David Foster Wallace<\/a> is giving up irony and digging the riverbed for solid gold sincerity. <\/p>\n

    So what do I like about Deadsy? Well, the z-tar. I like their \u201cPaint it Black\u201d cover. I am intrigued by Elijah\u2019s influences in the low registers as I tend to like same. I have a theory that Elijah and I were both fetuses inside deep-voiced women. My mother\u2019s smoker\u2019s voice puts Lauren Bacall to shame. While Elijah was in Cher\u2019s womb and Cher was on TV shows singing 70s pop songs like "Rhinestone Cowboy," she must have sounded like a hump-back whale to little fetus Elijah. Possibly we are drawn to those sounds because we listened to them in the womb. <\/a><\/p>\n

    Also — Elijah rarely bad mouth\u2019s his mother or his half-sister Chastity. I like that about him, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
