Now Playing... What are you Listening to Right Now?

RIP George Crumb.

I saw a performance of the Black Angels quartet back in college. Pretty nuts. String quartet with all kinds of "extended techniques" bowing of crystal glasses, bowing on gongs, etc.

 
The world's premier Finnish death metal band from 1994 where all the riffs have the dumbest intervals ever heard but then it's still hard as nails and possibly the progenitor of the best burpy frogman vocals ever to be recorded on this stone cold classic
 
Course I've been humbled by the void
Much of my faith has been destroyed
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
And as the pace of life keeps quickening
Beneath the bitching and the bickering
When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
I find my worst ideas know how to swim

I think I once knew that Berman had a non-SJ album, but I had forgotten about it until you reminded me.

It released only a month or two before he killed himself. I remember that because I pre-ordered it and after I listened to it the first time my wife asked me what I thought about it and I told her that it sounded like a suicide note. Didn't feel good about that one.
 
I just bought a 2020 Civic Si which came with a 3 month subscription to Sirius. The Alt-Nation channel has some interesting songs I would never hear on the regular FM rock radio channels.
