peter murphy and nine inch nails

If you can watch this and still not understand why I love this band, you must be deaf or stupid. And I don’t talk to deaf or stupid people. Why? Because deaf people can’t hear me, that’s why, stupid!

But I want to know who the people in this audience were and how I get to be one of them next time.

 

all I want for Christmas

is one of these:

Cthulhu crossing

marc broussard’s “Home,” bayou soul interlude

I’ve got a fair number of friends who are more musically inclined and musically sophisticated than I am, but I stumbled across this all mine own self (well, I found it on Taylor is the Boogie mine own self, well with the help of WordPress Hot Posts), so I feel very proud. This is worthy of going up against the best.

UPDATE: and fuck Universal Music Group, who took down the video. If they cared enough about their artists to read the comments, they’d see this video sold them an album. And now they have two official versions, embedding disabled on both. Why? Because you want your artists to be less widely known and less popular? Perfect strategy, guys.

underground version:

Cthulhu Cthild Cthare

Hello Cthulhu vs Hello Kitty 

Iä! Iä! Cthild nafhtagn!

Suddenly a cry erupted from the miniature prison, and I perceived a thrashing and a shuddering within. Swallowing terror as best I could, I peered over the rim of the cage.

There it lay!

I…I cannot continue. I hear them upon the stairs…when I am gone, this blog must be burnt, and the ashes dissolved in aquae velvae

Hello Cthulhu! I mean, Hail Cthulhu!

culturekiller’s Dub O matic

I’m addicted to this man. He could film a bloody sock puppet video, drunk, and it would be the earlyWarholian apotheosis of sock puppet videography. Here’s his video for sunlightsquare‘s song Dub O Matic.
