my brother ed is probably seven. he barrels down the hallway into the living room where my sister and i are watching television on the couch; he launches into the air and lands dramatically, sinking his plastic teenage mutant ninja turtles scimitar into a floor cushion. "TERRIBLE LIE!" he howls. it is my fault: i have given him a case of the nine ( Read more... )

I really don't know who I am
In this world of piss

I clearly remember going to visit my friend Megan in Charlotte, NC, for weeks at a time the summer before 9th grade and pretty much exclusively listening to NIN and Pop Will Eat Itself the whole time. Youth!

Great post. I will always be fond of the album, but mostly from nostalgia. I never even liked aggro music, but the synth/industrial "light" sound worked for me, as did the dark/S&M persona. Now, the persona only works as camp...

The lyrics totally fall into the bad 10th-grade poetry category (I know, I wrote some of that crap). Then again, PBShelly got away with "I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed!".

One of these days, I really want to get up on stage at karaoke and do a SNL Bill Murray-esque lounge version of "Closer":

I want to fuck YOU [point] like an animal
hey, thanks for coming out tonight, folks
I want to FEEL you from the inSI-I-Ide...

See Richard Cheese's lounge version, which I linked earlier in this thread.
