^^^ Voodoo Child is probably my all time favorite, but really, there is no bad Hendrix.

"...I'm standing next to a mountain,
I chop it down with the edge of my hand..."

Fuuuuuuck. Yes. To be the "voodoo child". The mind boggles...

I actually know someone who doesn't like Jimi Hendrix. Can't get into him. Just can't -- doesn't like it, doesn't get it.

That person is a fucking moron. It's a tragedy. Otherwise, this is a pretty bright gal. But in this particular instance, staggeringly dumb. What can ya do?


Anyway, tonight I was listening to the amazing genius that is Steve one-two-fuck-you Albini...

Behold.

Like, seriously, a whole era of terrible music floundered pitifully trying to do this kind of music (notable near misses: Skinny Puppy, Ministry, after they unfortunately reinvented themselves...).

Other than Jay Reatard's utterly amazing Terrorvisions album (which he referred to as "electro-punk" if memory serves), I find most bands who try to make thise kind of racket ("Industrial"?) to be a bunch of pretentious poseurs (I'm talking to YOU Maynard J. Keenan, you twat).

I'll take noise/grindcore/undefinable mess (e.g., Napalm Death, Doom, Melt Banana, et al) any day over that shit.

Trent's okay, tho'. I give him and NIN a general pass (for whatever my stupid opinions are worth. Not much, I suppose....)
