I took all my old live Swans CDs, put them to repeat play in my CD carousel, and fell asleep to them Saturday night

and now all I can hear is repeated clangs and minimalism everywhere. I want to sulk and brood and creep along the streets like Gollum.

80's-era Swans make Khanate sound like Wham

I need to check out the swans

not sure you'd like it, but it's so fucking DARK, it's like listening to a black ritual

you may hear the Type-O similarities, Gira's voice is super deep like Pete's

Awesome I was just listening to Swans

Cut off the arms
Cut off the legs
Cut off the head
Get rid of the body

Heartache to heartache

Job
Job

The only album that I own is Public Castration Is A Good Idea which is interesting but definately an aquired taste and nothing I could listen to all the time. I borrowed a tape from a friend of mine (I think it's Children of God?) which sounded ok from the few times I heard it...totally different from PCIAGI though.

Boring/ boring/.........

I think FEEL GOOD NOW is a great live set, from the best era.

I played my bass really loud last night for the first time in like a year, I was trying to emulate 'Cop'

that was fun. Just pure aggression and open strings. Notes, sch-motes

I got to see The Swans on the "Children of God tour" back in the day..and it was unbelievably crushing....nobody has gotten close to their sonic brutality.
