Tbh I think this song is pretty underrated but it is just. The sound of pure undiluted Skinny Puppy at their absolute peak to me.

Was tagged by @surgicalpen1sklinik to list my 9 current favorite albums ✨ Tough one to define but here goes… I guess gonna list 9 albums I’ve been spending tons of time with lately:

Talk About the Weather — Red Lorry Yellow Lorry (1985): Was recently reminded of the moment I had with these guys years ago when I was first diving deeper into post punk and I hadn’t really revisited them since. This album is just so good. Such an underrated goth classic.

Burning Bridges — Naked Eyes (1983): Another underrated classic, synthpop this time! Just such solid fun 80s pop, some huge hits on this album but some of the lesser known tracks are suuuuch gems.

The Wall — Pink Floyd (1979): After watching the film adaptation I’ve been kind of obsessed ngl. Whole album is fantastic (duh) but the last like 10 songs in particular just absolutely blow my mind honestly. I’ve had “In the Flesh” stuck in my head for like a week.

Technophelia — Geneva Jacuzzi (2016): After seeing her live recently I’ve just been so enamored by her, this album in particular is just so so so fantastic. A sound I’ve been missing honestly. I said it in the tags of a post recently but she’s giving such a perfect blend of Severed Heads Siouxsie Sioux realness, it’s to die for.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars — David Bowie (1972): The Wall had me thinking about other concept albums I’ve loved so I’ve also been revisiting this one; I had a massive Bowie phase in high school lol. It’s obviously a cold take to say this album is great but tbh I’ll confidently call “Moonage Daydream” one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. It’s so special to me.

The Correct Use of Soap — Magazine (1980): And speaking of favorites of all time, goddamn I love Magazine. I love all Magazine, but I’ve been vibing really hard with this album recently for whatever reason. Howard Devoto is one of my favorite lyricists of all time too.

RAT WARS — HEALTH (2023): Another band I saw recently that just destroyed me, they’ve put on such an insanely good live show both times I’ve seen them now so of course I’ve been listening through their most recent album (and more!) a bunch over the last couple of weeks.

Last Rights — Skinny Puppy (1992): And back to the concept album theme; is it a hot take to call Last Rights a concept album? To me it’s the greatest concept album of all time. I could write a novel on this one so I’ll just leave it at that. Love love love love love.

Idols — Indradevi (2018): It blows my fucking mind that Indradevi is so slept on. Genuinely abysmal that they only have FORTY-ONE monthly Spotify listeners. One of my all time favorite bands, Matthew Setzer’s Cambodian pop / drum and bass / dark electronic fusion side project. Please listen to Indradevi.

Obviously you don’t have to do this if you don’t want, but I’ll tag @lysistra @omegaversereloaded @captainspaulding @otisbdriftwood @euthaniized @blackchantilly @maldoror-est-mort @testure-1988 @ourladyofomega @theonlycure @baltowolfquest and anyone else who wants to do it! Tag me so I can see your list if you choose to!! :D

I know EVERYONE is complaining about that poll that called Throbbing Gristle industrial metal rn so I’m sorry to be part of the problem but fr what happened that has people constantly using “industrial metal” as synonymous for just “industrial.” I actually see people do that really often and it’s so confusing. I can only assume it’s people incorrectly conflating industrial in general with metal under the presumption that “harsh abrasive sound” = some type of metal, implicitly? Maybe in some cases it’s because a lot of the industrial bands that got big are/were industrial metal so people kind of just assumed it’s a blanket term for the whole genre? But “industrial metal” is a pretty distinct fusion/subgenre. Nine Inch Nails is not broadly an industrial metal band. Most KMFDM is not industrial metal. Absolutely no Throbbing Gristle is industrial metal. No Thrill Kill Kult is industrial metal. Industrial metal is [post-1987] Ministry. Twitch is not industrial metal, Land of Rape and Honey, Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, or Psalm 69 ARE industrial metal. [most of] Skinny Puppy Rabies is industrial metal, but most Skinny Puppy isn’t. Static-X, 3TEETH, [some] Dawn of Ashes, Godflesh, Psyclon Nine, or even Rob Zombie or Rammstein are industrial metal… literally industrial and metal combined… It’s so odd to me how often I see this happen when IMO “industrial metal” is generally not actually that common of a fusion genre and has a pretty distinct discernible sound to it lol.

#also this isn’t abt splitting hairs abt genres I’m not like a purist it’s just like. weird to me.

No neutrality allowed. If you love both, you still have to pick. If you hate both, you still have to pick.

Brought about by a conversation where I admitted I’m not actually a big fan of either of these movies (the horror!) but which one I’d pick as a better movie if I HAD to. Not sharing my answer to limit any bias. Whether you love them or hate them, I’m just curious where others stand. 👀❓

#I know they’re VERY different films but #ime the same kinds of people TYPICALLY like both. So. #I’m curious 🤔🤔🤔 #feel free to comment or rb with your thoughts too :) #(also kinda intentionally leaving ‘better’ vague/up for interpretation lol)
