Why it matters in the corpus
D’Ivoire is an unusually useful Bandcamp witness because the surviving page preserves both a dedication—Clark James Gable and Mark Fisher, against bigotry—and complete lyrics. The lyric moves from discovering a dead younger person through repeated anticipation, stimulants, Hollywood, the Milky Way, elephant poaching and “ivory arrogance.” It demonstrates how early JQD songs already use rhyme to jump between memorial, commodity, race/culture and cosmological imagery.
Archive rule
This article treats platform metadata as a documentary witness, not as a final statement about the work's ontology. Tracks can be retitled, reincorporated, recontextualized or exposed in another lyric/interface state.
