I've always found Whitehouse a smidge boring. Sometimes I quite enjoy that, and it's definitely part of their agenda. And for all the rhetoric surrounding them, I still like to read their interviews. I disagree with their (particularly Best's) 'philosophy', but it's well-articulated and lucid - moreso than a million pubescent American 'nihilists'. They're also a fantastically British proposition in a musical world often blighted by the overbearing influence of large-C American Culcha.
Ultimately though, I don't really like too much agenda in my music, even if that's a hyper-libertarian agenda. But then, if you like something, you're often blind to an agenda (this is certainly true of my John Cage liking).
Anyway. I wanted to ask if anyone's read Sotos, because I think I might get one of his books soonish. Does it stand up to Artaud, de Sade or Bataille (swoon)?
