I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole idea of “mainstream” and alternative to mainstream because of this book The Rebel Sell – about how the so-called mainstream – which should shun the alternative and be threatened by it, is actually so quick to incorporate and absorb it and so maybe that idea of the web thing – the development – comes in to play there – like how they keep building condos farther and farther west – in cool “alternative” colours – and all the weirdos keep shifting north and east – fixing up the homes of the people who have shifted to the suburbs – or retirement homes.
