Hole: Turpentine

This one started running through my head a little while ago, and some of the lyrics are actually oddly appropriate in context! 😵

Now you get to watch, you get to watch
Now you get to watch me die
Bless my body and bless my soul
Wrap it in turpentine (X)

(What started it off, because that’s apparently just how my sense of humor works too much of the time.)

LARD ‎– The Last Temptation Of Reid 1990

Another blast from the past that I was reminded of today. From a side project that was basically Ministry with Jello Biafra on vocals.

“Like most of Biafra’s work, Lard’s songs are angrily political (the War on Drugs is a particularly common theme) but often have a tinge of humor.” (X) I guess you could call it a tinge 🙄

Side A
Forkboy
Pineapple Face
Mate Spawn & Die
Drug Raid At 4 AM

Side B
Can God Fill Teeth?
Bozo Skeleton
Sylvestre Matuschka
They’re Coming To Take Me Away (N. Bonaparte*)

(The vinyl didn’t include I Am Your Clock.)

Body Count – Cop Killer


This shit’s been too long…but tonight we get even
(lyrics)

Another blast from the past.

I’ve never been a big fan of Ice-T, but ye gods the reactions this got when it was released in the early ‘90s.

And I can’t help but think that a lot of how it hit a nerve and the moral panic did come straight from how clearly it does express a totally understandable revenge fantasy.

And the situation really does seem to have gotten worse since then.

Cop killer, better you than me
Cop killer, fuck police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your family’s grieving
(Fuck ‘em!)
Cop killer, but tonight we get even, ha ha

The old video link seems to be busted, but I couldn’t resist bringing this back. (Working link.)

(Really not sure why reblogging stripped italics from the quotes either, but hey. Should be obvious what’s what.)
