NEW FOETUS ALBUM IN OCTOBER... FEATURING THIS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4__mYA_wd2I

Just got the last two manorexia and foetus releases (LIMB and HIDE). Mindblowing stuff.

Hey Teeps, you've seen that it's up for order now? There's a new film soundtrack available too!


Also, I'm super-excited for the new Swans fundraiser live album. .......... Which, now that I check at this very moment, has already sold out. Well, glad I got my order in.

[TPD]

IKR?  I haven't been this conflicted since Bozzio joined KoRn for five minutes.

ewwwwww. ewwww.... ewwww.... that happened?
whyyyyyyy?!?!?

Remember when you said:I'm scared to consider that Lohner might have been responsible for the awesomeness of "The Undertaker;" as I don't consider him as much of an achiever.

ahk, that makes sense, actually.
nothing mayjay has done since 10k days has moved me. i'm kind of sad about that. here's hoping he doesn't fuck up the new tool.
ah, well. here's looking to that live overpriced edition of those apc albums...

Hey Teeps, you've seen that it's up for order now? There's a new film soundtrack available too!

Yup. Ordered that as soon as i got back from Toronto (hanging with Dust).
I also ordered the soundtrack, and Damp, which i only have a shitty mp3 copy of.

[rynne]

Holy fuck. So I was saying the Swans fundraiser album sold out? Turns out it was my fault: I got album #2000/2000.   



I also somehow got an additional copy, which I didn't pay for and can't in good conscience keep. I emailed Young God Records and hopefully they'll be able to take it back and send it to another fan.

Bitchin!




Now on to the antithesis of Bitchin...
Anyone here the latest limp bizkit (remember them) cover of theives?
It is beyond laughably bad... I remEmBer hearing a live boot of that track like a decade ago but it was never... THAT bad. Was pretty horrible then but it reached a whole new level of poop.

I'm struggling to come up with language to describe how truly, egregiously awful that diarrhetic puddle of shit is.

I think the most amazing part is how the song actually gets more and more repellant as it goes. The indistinct, mushy guitar sludge sets the tone right from the beginning. Now here comes Durst sounding like a petulant 8-year-old having a tantrum (well, of course, when doesn't he?). But that ain't the worst of it by far: a little while later, "Woooooooo! C'mon!" Oh my god, kill me. The drummer isn't on-beat during the bridge---how you you manage to fuck that up, man? Then Durst's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad rant at the breakdown reaches whole new levels of abysmalness: if I had spent my entire existence searching for the most grating, uninspired possible way to exhort people to "Get up, get up!" I feel like I could now die with my life's goal fulfilled.

And... uh... I guess we never figured out how to end the song?  Let's pound on the sampler keys like an epileptic chimp for a bit then throw in a minute of half-assed ambiance with what sounds like Sloth from The Goonies and call it a day, huh? Perfect!


*edit*

On the other hand, I've been recently enthralled by Jay Munly, particularly this track:

Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots - "Big Black Bull Comes Like a Caesar"

I think someone smarter than me needs to tell me how to unpack everything in that song. I get the general themes (loss of innocence, taboo, fraternity, animal husbandry) but I'm at a loss to explain what it actually means. It's beautiful and terrifying.

[chimera]

It goes all the way back to the murder ballads and fairy tales, the stories in all forms about the danger inherent in gaining maturity, the cautionary tales which were purposely meant to terrify.  The Gothic tradition, if you consider the roots of Appalachia, for example.  But it's also got that Greco-Roman tragedy and mythology vibe.  I think it's supposed to simultaneously exist at several levels of reference.

[TPD]

What's better than getting a JG Thirlwell cd in the mail? getting 3 of them.
Soak, Damp, and The Blue Eyes OST arrived in my mailbox.
I've only heard a shitty mp3 copy (probably of a stream) of DAMP before and I'm soooo fucking glad I got a proper sounding tangible version of that comp.

And SOAK sounds fucking amazing so far.

NSFW LYRICS

[rynne]

Totally agreed on Soak.   I am loving the operatic pieces, especially "Spat." Wouldn't surprise me if JGT ends up writng a full-fledged opera one of these days.

It might be because their eclecticism allows for more surprises on initial listen, but I feel like Soak follows Damp in being more immediately enjoyable than their corresponding "official" albums. Now all Jim has to do is get this long-rumored rare/vinyl-only compilation off the ground and convince Adult Swim to put out another V Bros soundtrack or three...

The Blue Eyes OST seems like a pretty logical extension of Manorexia; I like it but Soak is clearly the prize here.



Finally, I love that Connelly's returning to the industrial teat after all these years. Just wish he'd get Bells into Machines and Cocksure released in an actual format instead of streams.

[chimera]

I have decided Mikey really does need to go in a new direction because I have never felt so ancient as when headbanging to "Last."

[Aaron]

I have been listening to a lot of STP. And I watched the MTV unplugged thing they did. Then more videos. And Scott's weight loss is amazing. And not really in a good way. But a weird kinda way. Like it's shocking to see the pre heroin Scott sing, and then now (err before he got kicked out) Super Skinny Heroin dude up there and then he sings in the same voice... It really blows my mind...


PS I can't stop listening to Plush, Sex Type Thing, Creep, Crackerman, Wicked Garden and Interstate love Song.

[chimera]

Dude you need you some deep cuts:
"No Memory/Sin"
"Meatplow"
"Kitchenware & Candybars"
"Adhesive"
"Down" (which is the cheesy single, but it's the kind of cheese STP can do without irony)
"No Way Out" (well, this was a single, allegedly)

Although I would really say listen to all of Shangri-La Dee Da:
"Regeneration"
"Transmissions from a Lonely Room"
"Long Way Home"

Still can't stand the comeback album; incredibly conflicted about the EP, it's like, "Why didn't you just bring Dave Coutts back, FFS?!"

[Aaron]

I have "Core" and I also have "Purple" Both are good. However I find my self repeating the same song over and over. I will be checking those songs out though. Thanks Chim.

[chimera]

Purple is a good album, it was my favorite until Shangri-La was released.
