- Just a couple of things I wanted to mention:
-
- (1) I finally found myself exposed to some material from NIN's "Broken"
- this past weekend. Luckily, however, it wasn't terribly annoying, because
- the music (which is pretty much what I expected - a "heavier" re-hash of
- "PHM", yawn yawn) was accompanied by the video. Yes, I saw the big, bad,
- banned vid for "Happiness is Slavery". I was pleasantly suprised. Trent
- might be a wanker, but this video is truly gut-wrenching and very
- disturbing. I hate to say it, but I don't think that even Puppy could
- pull something like this off. It amazes me that there hasn't been more of
- a stink raised about this video, actually, since it is very, very graphic.
- For those who haven't seen it, the basic premise is: man walks into a
- room, strips, washes, and sits in this chair which proceeds to strap him
- in and do many nasty things to him. No punches are pulled. Very nice
- work. (as an aside... I've seen it mentioned that one of the Coil boys
- directed the "Wish" video... did he do this one as well?) Oh, yeah, and I
- also saw the clip for "Pinion" which is pretty amusing in a perverse way.
-
-
- (2) I saw Pigface last night 'cause a friend won tix and asked me if I
- wanted to go. I saw them back on thier first tour and I thought they
- really sucked, but this time I figured "it's free, so what the hell".
- Well, they sucked again. Heh. Actually, there were a couple of redeeming
- features: they did manage to rock out a couple of times, and the female
- singer (can't remember her name, but I think she's from Silverfish) was
- really cool. Otherwise, it's was pretty much the Self-Indulgent Wankfest
- that I expected it to be. For me, the best part of the evening was the
- following...
-
- Audience member: "Where's (Chris) Connolly?"
- Martin Atkins: "Connolly? He's on tour with Ministry. Do *you* have 35
- bucks in your pocket??"
-
- Hee hee hee! :-)
