Oh and how could I forget...

Code:

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me it’s your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive

NIN is cool if you have versions of their songs without all the emo whining, is my experience. Also, the amount of industrial clutter sounds you hear in NIN/Reznor productions that sound a bit like sounds used in id Software games is cute as fuck.

NIN made a lot of Quake sounds, if I am not mistaken.

And, oh- NIN would not be the same without emo whining.

Some music needs to do heat bleedin' songs, too, even if it aint that cool. :p

I am insulted that you are associating NIN with emos. Seriously fucked up people, yes, but not emos.

In other news, russia's banning emos, apparently.

No, NIN is more "I took drugs and they fucked up my life".

If he's saying that life sucks, he's acknowledging that he fucked up his life and its his fault.

No, music is what you feel it is. Since I feel it different than you do, we are both completely right.

P.S. He did the music for the Venture Bros., besides being an industrial music "pioneer" (at least according to the loyal fans of Foetus I knew back in NYC).

[Rush - 2112 (1976)]

Rush - 2112 (1976)

One of my favorite albums of theirs, and apparently Jerry Stiller as well (at least A Passage To Bangkok anyway).  The more I listen to the title track nowadays, the more I want to start referring to the MPAA and the RIAA, and all of their ilk, as the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx:

We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why

We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls

Read the lyrics in their entirety (the notes are part of the story, but not sung in the song) and listen along if you like - I love the sound of part V (Oracle: The Dream) myself, which is unfortunately missing from that video there.

It may not be one of their radio staples like Tom Sawyer, but it's good listening - and like I said, almost prophetic when you hear about radio stations bought by CrapChannel and what the mafiAA is up to nowadays.

I <3 that record. Actually, I'm enough of a prog nerd to love all of the early Rush, up to and including the album that Tom Sawyer was on. But I really dig the crusty 70s stuff, up to and including All the World's a Stage. The next two studio albums after 2112 were awesome, too. After that, I was no longer on a strict diet of prog rock, and we somewhat parted ways (as in, I could no longer afford to buy every single album). Caress of Steel is a killer album, also. And Fly by Night and Rush were the stuff of high school keggers. My personal favorites at one time were the two after 2112: A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres.

When I stop and think that so many albums have influenced your life, I remember how old you must be.

Before I even started buying 45s, these were my favorite groups and albums. The first record I ever bought was a 45 of "I Feel Fine" (when it was a new song). I was also quite fond of Nat King Cole, Roger Miller, Hank Williams, Sr., Chet Atkins, and any kind of surf/spy/western guitar, latin/bossanova/cocktail stuff, or boogaloo/R&B/souljazz music. They had good music here in America, in '65. Before the British Invasion totally took over, and the rock era got fully underway. I was four. My family had a lot of records. We listened to a lot of LPs, AM radio, and watched a lot of variety shows. There was a console stereo in the living room about 3 feet high by 3 feet deep by 4 feet wide, with a well for LPs at one end, a phonograph with a 16-33-45-78 selector and a tuner with a giant dial. We never even switched it over to FM until about 1973. The first audio device I ever owned, besides the then-ubiquitous AM radio, was a consumer Aiwa reel-to-reel tape deck, before cassettes were even used for music distribution in the US. I used to record songs off the AM radio, so I wouldn't have to buy the singles. I was maybe ten by then. Imagine that sound quality.

P.S. I was 11 the year your favorite Neil Young album came out. Check out what else came out that year.

[Neil Young]

I am pretty sure he owns or had own every single one he posted.
I can also name at least a dozen albums that i would call influential to me, or maybe even a dozen per life stage.
And also, many album covers are a treat just to see, bring back memories, or for the pure aesthetics of it.
Also referencing known sites is a hell lot easier than to having to scan them
Also with some postings, like the link he provided to wikipedia about foetus is helpful for those that just dismiss
it as ugly music, when in it's time it influenced a whole music genre: the music genre that bands exactly like NIN are
now collecting the fruits of.
The Stevie Wonder one is terrific

Also music diversity is not a sign of weak character, I really like a lot of music directions, the main thing is always for me, how
sincere the music is played, how well the music is played, originality, vibe and spirit.
It can be soul, punk, minimal, new music, rock, folk or experimental, it's how it is delivered.
Sticking to one genre is ..., well, you get to listen to lot of crap too

You yourself mentioned Harvest, an album I could have posted myself. One that I like equally is
Neil Young Sleeping with angels

The sound on the album is incredible, very soft over the top distortion combined with fragile playing, driftin' away,
maybe the only Neil Young I still put on once in while since last century.

Things I still listen a lot:

Kletka Red Hybrid

Youtube
Berlin based band, mixing up east european and jewish music with punk, surf and experimental.

Ne Zhdali Hey, Driver, Cool Down The Horses

Russian Avantgard Rock type of thing, blending punk energy with the complexity of true progressive rock (think Henry Cow), occasional
funk rhythms and Balkanese folk melodies.

The Necks Townsville / Drive By
Each record is a great one, here my favorites. Somewhere between jazz, improvisation, minimal music and rock, each concert, as well as most of their albums consist of one long (40 min - 70 min) set, based on a theme which develops from there.

Townsville is in my opinion their best live record, listen to it on a good stereo, the sounds, especially the piano sounds amazing.

Drive By is a studio album, and is much more conceptual. Thats a 60 min slow groove, and a lot more electrical than most of their stuff.

Kilt Maker on youtube (pretty old registration of one of their concerts)

Phil Niblock

wikipedia
Music
Quote: Phill Niblock's third release on the Touch label. Phill Niblock is a New York-based minimalist composer and multi-media musician and director of Experimental Intermedia, a foundation born in the flames of 1968's barricade hopping. He has been a maverick presence on the fringes of the avant garde ever since. In the history books Niblock is the forgotten Minimalist. His influence has had more impact on younger composers such as Susan Stenger, Lois V. Vierk, David First, and Glenn Branca. Touch Three is minimalism in the classic sense of the word, if that makes sense. Niblock constructs big 24-track digitally-processed monolithic microtonal drones, and the result is sound without melody or rhythm. Movement is slow, geologically slow. Changes are almost imperceptible, and his music has a tendency of creeping up on you.

The Ex scrabbling at the lock

One of two albums they recorded with Tom Cora. The Ex is a band from Amsterdam, Holland, formed in 1979, but are still very busy today.
Influenced bands like Sonic Youth and Tortoise, the guitar player from The Ex, Andy Moor has collaborated on many albums with members from sonic youth and others.
Maybe Lava knows them :-)

Ex Orkest een rondje holland

Big band orchestra playing The Ex songs comprising of The Ex members plus several dutch musicians known
from the classical/avantgard music environment in holland.

Edit 1: fixed intro message, added a statement here and there.
Edit 2: Added the Ex
Edit 3: Its hard sometimes to add a link to music, especially with bands that produce albums, where no album is like the previous one,
the music linked to is not always the music from that album. Still, it should give an idea.
But that's what I like in some bands, where every album is completely different, many groups just produce one album after the other with just similar stuff.

[Shellac]

Shellac terraform (1998)
note: this is prolly next to the Pixies the only rock band i like.
The great thing about shellac is their sound. Steve Albini, more known as a producer, has developed his own way for miking amplifiers and drums.
This is something you can hear for example on Nirvanas "In Utero", and ofcourse in the productions of his own band Shellac.

Shellac is an American rock group composed of Steve Albini (guitar and vocals), Bob Weston (bass guitar and vocals) and Todd Trainer (drums and vocals).
Although they have been classified as noise rock and math rock, they describe themselves as a "minimalist rock trio".

I found my favorite tune from this record to listen to, though it's split into two parts (12 minute track in 2x6min footage)
if you don't understand minimalism, this ain't for you .)
Didn`t We Deserve A Look At You... (Part 1)
Didn`t We Deserve A Look At You... (Part 2)
I was never a fan of singing and lyrics in a song, and this is no exception, just listen past the intro singing.
(Lyrics always automatically means emo to me, xcept maybe with Randy Newman or songs in languages I dont understand).
