it actually is dope.. at least that's the best-feeling adjective for it (to my ears/brain)

Justin Bieber
Future Desiigner Machine Gun Kelly Riff Raff and the next step for me is a fat bubble booty white gurl with dyed grey/ a tad shade of purple hair girlfriend with a sleeve wit me rockin the 2013 bieber high top and i'll be set only if I devote my life to smoking kush and not beer. that's what my youtube page told me. maybe get a great tan too and drop those ugly outdated wrap around shades and go all save by the bell. my identity crisis has grown out of proportion. help! |
the only thing that really stands out on The Downward Spiral is that guitar solo in "Ruiner" and the song "Hurt". if it wasn't for the guitars, this album would sound really dated 90's techno sounds besides those moment when Trent sounds like Sebadoh Lou. "March of the Pigs" is tight. like a glossed over Big Black.
im not fan of NIN's, but that solo on Ruiner. damn! |

That's Adrian Belew on "Ruiner" (among other NIN songs, but that's his best performance), and yes, "Ruiner" is amazing, and that solo was directly responsible for that being my favorite NIN song ever. Also, yes, the little sing-song piano tidbit on "March of the Pigs" is great. It makes the song, in fact. And of course "Hurt" is just a good song. Downwars Spiral is a record I've aged with, like In Utero and Ok Computer. I didn't realize until my twenties that "Piggy" contained some of the most insanely awesome (if program enhanced) straight-up Jazz drumming of the '90s. That outro makes that song for me. Other highlights from my perspective include "Reptile" and "The Downward Spiral" and the bizarro almost Yo La Tengo-esque "A Warm Place." It really is a record that's made great by its strangest moments. If it weren't for those little eccentric additions here and there, it would sound like Prodigy or some shit. Luckily it doesn't! |

White people can't use that word without sounding mookish. :D Not that I know or care whether you guys are white, though. |

Who the fuck is this Machine Gun Kelly buttplug? I have a Facebook friend who's CONSTANTLY posting crap about his tattooed, white ass, going to shows and following the cunt around like a fucking prophet. Looks like he must be some kind of terrible rapper or possibly terrible EDM d-bag. |

Nice! I've always hated that repulsive cover though. Seriously. Lose the full color blonde and it would work, but really, from a design perspective... yuck. Looks like something Rob Zombie would have thrown together, like, when he was in, like, junior high. Gotta love Nurse With Wound though, and it's an alright record by NWW standards, but Jesus that's an ugly album cover (though the pearl-white vinyl is beautiful) Just listened to the first half of Homotopy to Marie last night actually. |

Understood. But I don't care if I sound mookish either. Sometimes that's the most appropriate word for a certain, special kind of awesome. Being a scrawny white middle class bespectacled aging hipster, I find that people usually get a kick out of it when I use words like that, so it's a almost a way to make a deliberate ass out of myself. To accentuate my nerdiness. And again, sometimes it's just the only word that will do. Put on "Windowlicker" and in front of me and I'll probably throw that word out there. Put on some super groovy hip-hop like "1train" by Rocky, and you'll hear a whole slew of more mookish and embarrassing things from me. It's just how I roll. ;) |
have 4 weeks off!

Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debby

A phenomenal album. Anyone who still thinks these are simply leftovers from Sunday At The Village Vanguard needs to put down the crackpipe real fuckin' quick. ![]() I actually heard "Milestones" here first! By the way, after over half a century (!) there still appears to be a confusion about what came first: Evans' take on Bernstein's "Some Other Time", his intro to Kind Of Blue's "Flamenco Sketches", or his own "Peace Piece". But the original liner notes seem pretty clear to me: Quote:

Yo La Tengo - Stuff Like That There

To be honest, I've never given the cover a second thought......it's actually in line with the artwork for the album, Huffin' Rag Blues. Homotopy To Marie is one Wound that I don't have a proper copy of, just a cassette someone made for me. However, I do have the one by Current 93. Have you heard the newest NWW release, 'Dark Fat?' It's my understanding the entire thing is a "cut up" job from recordings made of sound checks and rehearsals over the past eight years. The live drumming adds such deminsion to the sound that's not heard on many Wound releases. Highly recommended!!! |

No, I haven't heard it. Sounds good though. Thanks for the rec. I don't actually have a physical copy of Homotopy to Marie either. Used to, but lost it years ago. I actually only have it on iTunes at this point. |
