- Yeah -- especially "This is the Law of the Plague" and "There are No
- More Tickets to the Funeral" -- totally visceral! You could follow

- then the entire "God in Three Persons" albumn by The Residents.

- ObPeeve: a couple of months ago I had the opportunity to go see
- Laibach perform on a Thursday night, followed by Diamanda
- Galas on the Friday. Being a fool (and tired, due to
- recent pressure of work) I decided to give Laibach a miss.
- If I'd seen both performances I'd probably have spent the
- weekend in an exhausted catatonic stupor, but what the hell.
- Next time (if there is a next time) things will be different.
