From Under Our Rocks

What is Hijack Elemental?  It's a concept that's been underground for years.  It's nothing new, but maybe a way of looking at the creative world that gets forgotten easily. 

Everyone is creative and everyone can perform. 

Anyone can make music. just do it now. don't waste everyone's time tuning or setting up all that stupid equipment. adjust as you go. songs are not important. expression is. just start. drums first. change it every few minutes so everyone doesn't get bored. then bass - do something. whatever the drums make you want to do. everything else is icing. tell a story. you don't need drums or a bass or a guitar or a trumpet.  use any noisemakers you can find.  Artists we like that do this: Half Japanese, The Fall, Holy Fuck.

Anyone can write and act.  you don't have to write Phantom of the Opera (in fact, please don't.)  say what you feel.  relate it to others.  make it quick.  mix funny and tragic.  life is a roller coaster ride. Get on it, even if it makes you sick.  Artists we like that do this: Neo-futurists, Hamell on Trial.

Anyone can be an expert.  Get a fucking twitter account and a blog.  Artists we like that do this:  No one.  I mean, everyone.

The time is right for the cockroaches to come out and play.
