I think it was Du Hast.
I think it was Du Hast.
The Fuerio! remixes at the end of Haus der Luege were a dancefloor staple at my old haunts.
No Young Gods? TV Sky's a blast.
We have ski resorts here.
I was just about to suggest Cave. His lyrics are full of goodies that could be fashioned into a maniacal Depression-era hick opera.
Surprised it never happened with the "Lemon Curry" clown.
Am I the only person who likes "wimpy" Morrissey? His arrangements are often exquisite. "There's a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends", "Used to Be a Sweet Boy" and so on. Genuinely gorgeous stuff.
Swans' "Children of God". As good as their new stuff is, that album is untouchable. I was a believer when I first heard it, and it rang true as an unironic statement of belief. When I became an atheist, it continued to ring true as an examination of a need for faith.
I fell completely in love with Swans upon hearing "Failure" at a goth club in about '96, and promptly snapped up everything of Gira's that I could lay my hands on. They broke up pretty briefly thereafter and I thought I'd never get to see them live, so their reformation in 2010 was a blissful moment for me, and given…
Seconded: take earplugs. They are insanely loud live, but in a great way. The bass is like a massage. Really nothing that tops Swans live.
Can we just discuss briefly how Malcolm's line about science being the rape of nature is genuinely embarrassing to hear? Especially coming from a "chaotician". Urgh, it's like something from Viz's Millie Tant.
It might be like Ankh Morpork.
Speaking as a grown 12 year-old boy of 36, I'd have been incredibly amenable to secrecy if she promised to come back.
"Imitation fretless".
I can tell you to cheer up with some authority. I'm in my thirties and was adult-diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum. I remained single for years and years because I was too shy to initiate anything and too careful about misreading signals from anyone. It's very easy to be unintentionally creepy when you can't…
I believe the Blu-ray still includes an HD version of the original, although apparently the quality isn't great. Still a fair bit better than a DVD, though.
The Rob Roy fight is the best ever shot. Fact.
"Every gesture is artificial, every mannerism is a forced approximation of human behavior."
I wish the AV Club got as excited about Swans as I did.
Peter Pan wasn't aware of all his ancestors' memories from birth.
