TALKSHOW BOY

Talkshow Boy (Adrian Trajstman, b.1985, Aquarius) pushes his romantic, aesthetic and political agendas to the sounds of cute majorchordal breakbeats, tiny melodic cut-ups and anemic blastbeats. Think of the songs of pagans filtered through mid-90s Euro dancepop - asinine handclap bullshit paired with obligatory fandom-centric shoutouts (mainly Twin Peaks and Neighbours).

On his third viciously human album, Testosterone!, Trajstman plays the role of Tomyum Texmex, a young upstart determined to own his zone and “keep it real’n’shit” in a world saturated with wack mash-ups, ‘boys clubs’ and P2P2P2P2P. Hard pop collages collide with ringtone remixes as Texmex spits directives over twenty-first century tone cycles. Testosterone! is an album about positive action and seizing slogans – it is an album that celebrates “just doing it” and acknowledges the gorgeous global network of young punks into subcultural subversion that help keep things DTE.

Original liner notes: "THE STORY SO FAR... After the great tech fall-out of 2005, pop had overheated past boiling point. Plundering 'retro' samples was old hat, mashing tracks was deemed wack and electro blo-wave gave way to po-faced neo-no-wave. SFW. Y'all needed a shake-up. Talkshow Boy (AKA Tomyum Texmex) began his own personal shake-up back in 1985 when he popped out of the womb - he'll quit being self-righteous at the gate of his tomb. Testosterone and Estrogen were harnessed within his body as driving forces to realising his vision - 60 years (and counting) of pop reclaimed and redefined to articulate and underscore one life. Tomyum Texmex and his Ringtone Remix proved to be popular with The Youth Sector - these young punks understood more about cultural subversion than your average bunch of deathcult disciples after their next set of dirty teenage kicks. The Youth Sector (shining stars) fully understood that they too could "just do it" and in turn "just did it" - hundreds more Talkshow Boys and Gameshow Girls were thus born. It was nothing new - Tomyum Texmex was just one of thousands of upstarts owning their zone. Even so, there's only one Talkshow Boy - two words, one vision: "keep it real'n'shit". Keep one eye on sharp kin the globe over and the other eye glued to the media - take absolutely every slogan and every pitch they carelessly throw at your demographic and use them, child, use them. Don't eat them."

Hello sweet thing,

I've been studying dancefloors for years upon years and if there's one thing that they all definitely need it's more sexy goths shaking their shit. I've met many, many fucked-up goths in my lifetime. Genuine sickos, hot depressives, teenage weekenders, punk-goths, goth-punks, narrow-minded purists, skunky metalheads, new romantics, confused outsiders, deathrockers, dark nymphos and other assorted random losers and legends. I would like to dedicate this mix to every single one of those special people. 
Being gothic is stupidly fun. And these days there are no rules! However, some people will still insist there are. The worst goths are idiot divas with superiority complexes who are really focused on being as snooty and as stereotypically "gothic" as possible. Most goths are just awesome chillers who love goth shit and the whole beautiful schtick. And the gothic way can be so very beautiful. The best goths are always untouchable - immaculate - and most of them don't even really consider themselves "gothic" anyway.
Goth-spotting when out and about is a brilliant past-time. Some goths look like mutant hybrids designed by HR Giger - they wear chunky goggles and have crazy fluoro hair extensions. Other goths look like aristocrats from a bygone century and only drink red wine. Some goths just slap on a black t-shirt and shitty eyeliner or paint their face with runny corpse-paint and look like they're trying way too hard and in a very bad way. When I was a totally righteous gothic teenager babe I used to think that any goth could just approach any goth in the street and just strike up a conversation. I was wrong. Although my goofy goth buddies and I met many lovely new freaks this way, occasionally other goths just greased us off or totally ignored us altogether. This just made us even more misanthropic, spitty and broody. 
My interpretation of "gothic" is very loose. But I'm a pretty loose boy. You might not really think that I'm a goth, but I am. And you might not think that this mix is really gothic, but it is! Shake your shit!! Being gothic is stupidly fun!!!

Explicitly yours,
Adrian (AKA Talkshow Boy) x

"MAC Blacktrack eyeliner. Madonna's conical Gaultier tits. Frozen-era Madonna. Madonna inspiring MAC's Russian Red lipstick. Redheaded boy poet Thomas Chatterton dying at seventeen of arsenic poisoning in a garret. Jean Genie/Jean Genet. Acne-spattered, foundation-basted scene kids at Flinders Street inhaling fast food. Leigh Bowery giving birth to his wife. Diamanda Galas taking AIDS seriously. Misting your face with hairspray to preserve your maquillage even though it stings your skin. Goth clique in season 7 of South Park. Growing up lonely in a small town, subsisting on a diet of Cure, Birthday Party and Siouxsie cds from Geelong Library. Fairuza Balk's sex face. Asia Argento's sex face. "One is not born a woman, but becomes one". Nic Endo modelling for Illamasqua. Beth Ditto having no eyebrows. Princess Julia in Visage's Fade To Grey. Peter Murphy emulating Bowie's voice and pulling it off. Gregg Araki dating 'mainly men'. Club Kids on Joan Rivers. Forcing your 14 year old girlfriends to watch Velvet Goldmine with you at a sleepover (they hate it). "You're born naked, the rest is drag". Giving up on goth. Going back to goth. Not being goth enough. Being too goth…” - Daphne Shum on goth, December 2011.
