I was saying about a month ago to my friends: "It's clear now that Paul was the brains behind Ministry, and Al was the face... and now's Ministry is a face without a brain.  It's Lindsey Fucking Lohan."

From what I understand, Al's gift was being an facilitator. He was able to assemble a lot of really talented musicians and get them to work together to produce something great. Without Al, there's no way you would've had Paul, Bill, Chris, Ogre, Jello, Ian Mc-fuckin-Kaye, etc. in one place making a fuckload of awesome music. That's no mean feat.

Al's mistake was getting it in his head that he was the one responsible for the music itself and that the other guys were disposable. So he treated them like shit, they all left, and now Al's legacy is a joke.

It's just the old fogey in me, but while I think Watch The Throne is interesting, Kayne just annoys me.  But I've always liked Jay-Z.  Vocally, I mean.  Production-wise I think he's interesting, but I wish he wouldn't rap.

I have been on a Ministry kick as of late.

Mostly just listening to Stigmata on loop. Fucking love this song. My favorite weapon is the look in your eyes.

This rap thing the kids are doing these days - it's just words, isn't it. No skill to it, it's just speaking. Why can't they sing nice tunes?


:p

Isn't it time for your meat-with-meat pie and meat? :p

Kanye singing is worse than Kanye rapping, IMO.  I think Kanye is an interesting producer/arranger/songwriter (and a trainwreck for everything else) but Jay-Z really shows him up in the flow on that record.  But even so there's nothing as interesting as "Monster" from KW's last record, except maybe "No Church in the Wild."

Zola Jesus-Night. While I'm not her hugest fan. I really like this song.


Tool-Flood. I think Zola should cover this song. While she may have to slow it down a bit. I think it she could do it.

I can never not enjoy Coltrane.  It doesn't matter where I am or what mood I'm in...  Coltrane always makes me happy.
