You figure that a stranger would be more likely to relate with you or judge your character when sharing disparaging thoughts on people they don’t know? By all means, do what you feel you must, it’s no consequence to me.

Goliath by The Mars Volta. They did such a great job at lyrically illustrating a malevolent entity on that whole album, but Goliath definitely stands out as do a few others from that album.

Should avoid putting people on pedestals because people suck and will often let you down. At the end of the day, there’s other artists out there, and when one or two cross the line just call it a day and move on. It’s particularly hard with art because so much of it is emotional and is naturally something we identify with and attach ourselves to. As others will surely mention, this is a losers game, and I agree, but I feel it’s commendable to stand for what you value, especially when it’s a case of human rights. Sorry for your loss, there will be many more, keep your chin up.

Starfuckers, Inc. from The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails. Always felt like they were trying to recapture the edginess of Closer and combine it with the techno fusion of The Perfect Drug and it just was too much. Would have rather had 10 Miles High make the album, but it’s obvious they were chasing a single. While The Fragile is my favorite album of theirs, Starfucker, Inc was not the lightning in the bottle they expected it to be and I’d argue nails hasn’t had a major commercial hit since The Perfect Drug; at least nothing on the same level as it, Closer, and the singles from Pretty Hate Machine.

I feel this, and personally I blame the emergence of “pretty good” digital instruments and effects. It was just that decade where digital stuff finally was good enough to pretty much replicate real things and they thought it was cool and high tech and used it. Thing is, all of us in the future can tell it wasn’t really close and it all sounds like that cheap CASIO you can get from wal-mart for $60. But hey, it was necessary because had they not gone through that in the 80’s where would we be today?
