The apes are welcome to this agonizing yet ubiquitous scream...everywhere from little league baseball to professional 'ockey. Go Sox.
C - don't watch de 'ockey that much, but Toronto seems to be having more problems than our downtrodden Broooons (tho' there is still room for Canadian pride as Ottawa is pretty much slapping the snot out of everyone else in their division.)
OK randal....take your pound of flesh....but....how 'bout them Patriots !
(Sox fans are accustomed to losing, but are amazingly resilient, always supporting the prevailing version of "the SOX"...it's fun, and lets us vent a lot of pent-up stuff. Usually, I do my venting during the game(s), and my wife and others leave the room. I call it "family time". They don't.)
can't go wrong with Helena Bonham Carter in anything....sorry....yes I love the movie 'Bound' with Gina Gershwin and i call her 'Betty Boop' don't know the actors real name. Anywho....Helena, ya!
I don't understand why women love that song so much. A great song indeed, but just a little vulgar and picturesque with the lyrics. A song that brings out the dirty little thoughts in women.
On the flip side a little disappointed with the new CD. Survivalism is a great song, and 1 or 2 others were good. The others were mediocre.
Trent needs to learn how to evolve his music with the times, such as the man himself Rob Zombie.
Great pairings would include Zombie, Trent, Manson, and Rammstein.
Why evolve? NIN has a pretty unique sound and they should keep it that way. Unlike Tool, who has decided to become a little more industrial. How annoying. Stop trying to sound like other bands.
I'm not trying to start a debate here, but I'm sure it will turn into something of the sorts...
Industrial music you say? I immediately thought of NIN when you said industrial music. Industrial music essentially is experimental type music.
I immediately went to the net to see if I was crazier than I thought.
Rave music.com defines industrial music as, "Industrial Music: Industrial music is an early development of electronic music and one of the influences that led to the development of house and techno. Industrial is characterized by deep and densely layered mixes that use samples of machine noises and industrial sounds."
Another site states, "When someone is pressed to give a definition of industrial music, they'd probably refer to the rhythmic use of mechanized-sounding samples.
The term could also be twisted to refer to the production method employed by the genre's most preeminent practitioner, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. He's an industry unto himself. Reznor has been a one-man, music-making foundry for years -- writing, singing and playing all the instruments on his darkly passionate albums. In the process, he has become a symbol for an entire subculture." A longer story of this article is at: http://www.ktvu.com/earthlinkmusic/11128798/detail.html
Going to Napster I found that the groups he was most likely influenced by were: Ministry, Skinny Puppy, and Sleep Chamber.
I decided to look a little further and here is what I found:
"Throughout the early to mid 1980s, the post-industrial movement began to emerge around the world. Coil, arguably the largest contributor to the evolution of Industrial music's original ideas, was formed by Jhonn Balance and Peter Christopherson after departing from Psychic TV in 1982 (debuting with How to Destroy Angels in 1984). Highly eclectic, through their career they touched on everything from acid house to drone music, the occult always a major influence in the group's themes and approach. Other acts like Skinny Puppy from Vancouver Canada (debuting with Back and Forth in 1984), Front 242, the pioneers of EBM from Belgium (debuting with Geography in 1982), and Foetus from Australia (debuting with Deaf in 1981) are some of the most notable second-wave artists who helped popularize and redefine the genre amongst the underground music culture (and laying the foundations for most future sub-divisions of the genre).
In the early 1980s the Chicago-based record label Wax Trax! helped to expand the industrial music genre into more accessible territory. At the forefront were bands such as Chicago's Ministry, Acumen Nation, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and Die Warzau. Wax Trax was one of the first labels to carry this new strain of punk-influenced Industrial music. It was one of the most widely respected labels of the genre.
By the late 80s, the scene had grown considerably as the music became a staple of the club scene - artists were emerging from all over the world and record sales of key artists were increasing rapidly. One of the biggest contributors to the new brand of industrial music was Nine Inch Nails' comparatively commercially-structured "Pretty Hate Machine," released in 1989. NIN performances began breaking the style into mainstream rock and punk culture at that point. Ultimately the band's accomplishments, alongside the likes of Ministry, led to the further development of not only the style as a whole, but of a number of rock and to an even greater degree, metal fusion sub-genres to later emerge.
The genre enjoyed relatively popular mainstream attention throughout the mid 1990's. Thanks to the charting success of albums such as Ministry's "Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs" and Nine Inch Nails' Broken, eventually leading to the multi-million selling releases of Nine Inch Nails' "The Downward Spiral" and to some degree even Marilyn Manson's "Antichrist Superstar". Soon thousands of new distantly industrial influenced musicians came onto the scene."
So if you don't like industrial, how could you possibly like NIN?
Tool had their own sound and apparently you didn't like the change they made. Sometimes when bands decide to evolve they do so correctly and other times they fall onto their faces.
I didn't say I don't like industrial. I like industrial. And I love NIN.
Yes, Tool had their own sound. I like Tool. One of my favorite bands. I was just a little disappointed when I heard some of their new stuff (not from 10,000 Days - apparently they have a new album coming out and my friend sent me samples from it). Hopefully they aren't one of the ones that "evolve" and fall on their faces. But I believe Tool is good enough that, if their new stuff doesn't work out for them, they won't lose many fans.
Blahdee blah... I wasn't debating, just expressing my opinion.
Thats funny , cause I just taped you doing that white man dance! I ain't showing that to no one thoe. Its for me and the little lady to watch,,pre love making!! eemm ya!
Not many women like Skinny Puppy unless they got all kinds of face jewelry and the like. Now that you mention I had to get some going and listening to Chainsaw right now.
Speaking of Closure, I'm gonna get me some now, I am of the much more disturbing kind douche.....I'm your next door neighbour, I'm the check out girl, I'm the unassuming babysitter.....I'm the librarian....I'm the one on the corner selling flowers (yes i spell everything wrong, so shoot me) I'm your greatest fear and your best fantasy......I cunt wait for the cum back!

A stellar electric guitar tone from my fellow countryman, proving that English music appeals to all strata of species. And might I suggest that Mister Reznor resume his laudanum dependency, in the interest of more convincing brooding. That having been said, I wind my Victrola for a spot of Purcell. -Lord Stutz
Ready the Fleur with a brisk whisk. Apply extra virgin olive oil to plantain. Insert the plantain in the fleur, stirring slowly at first; increase heat from simmer to boil.
Jagermeister and an unfiltered Gauloise as dessert.
( A tested recipe from my paterfamilias, the Sixth Earl of Blogshire.)
Enjoy late at night, a climactic supper as a reward for a hard day on the Badminton Court.

P.S. In further correspondence, please refrain from addressing me in the diminutive. Many thanks.
As you appropriated your moniker from an unfortunate bestseller by Erica Jong, one might assume that you count a "twat" amongst your possessions; sadly, this is untrue. You are hardly a Master of Disguise, as many Glumbertians have pointed out. My sincere contribution to your larder has now been made mock of, and your crude imitation of feminine "pillow talk" is an embarassment to your gender.
