You were kinder about the album than most critics managed to be. I agree with you on a lot of it (except I wouldn't say "my idea of fun is killing everyone" is a really bad line.. certainly nowhere near the worst line Iggy's ever come out with. Also I really don't hear the "Bowie influence" on the record at all. You're not the first critic to mention that and make me go "???" though.) Cool article/interview.

Want to see footage of Iggy knocking Watt over? (that incident in Holland last summer that he mentioned in the interview)

(it's a bit brutal and makes Iggy look like a shit. But apparently he did apologise afterwards and Watt makes light of it, so..)

Nice work - good lad!

Your artwork is rubbish. Are you still gonna like me? I prefer your music.

sarramkrop 03.23.2007 04:49 PM

I think you have your limitations and it shows by what you post, but i like the music i hear from you. You're a much more well behaved guy (and lovable) person on your forum than when you enter this site.

Emo heart. Robot logic.

I don't have much patience with people who suffer from sort of self pity syndrome. At the risk of sounding insensitive, if you feel that way, do something about it in a more constructive and less internetish way. Music is not a rational way to channel things and it shouldn't be. It's art, and art isn't for helping the problems at the root but a deviation of them for pleasure. Art purely for the channeling of anger is something that you americans invented. Deaf in one ear.

Nah, you're out to prove yourself on the internet. Lame, try communicating with the trees a little more.
