This is turning into "weird dark music week". Hope you don't mind.

If you do mind, and want your usual dose of indie music that I normally assault you with, two days ago I posted a 78 minute mixtape (my preferred nomenclature) that you can actually download for your own personal enjoyment over at http://birthday.staires.org. I think it's the best mix I've made yet and I'm really excited about it, which is why you can either just listen to it or download it.

And on to the song...

I wish when I was listening to Skinny Puppy and cEvin Key's solo/other work (Download, Doubting Thomas) that ohGr had been around. I hate to say it, but Nevik Ogre's work in ohGr is more accessible and more fun to listen to than Skinny Puppy's only mostly dreadful comeback record (The Greater Wrong of The Right) and even Download at their most enjoyable. My memory of real industrial, electro-industrial and, later in my teens, electronic body music (which mostly involved flirting with Covenant before they started to suck and Project Pitchfork while I was tripping acid) is mostly fleeting so I'm mostly waxing knowledgeable on the topic. I do that by name dropping as many bands I can think of. How many are there in this paragraph? Only eight? Hm. Die Form, Throbbing Gristle, Frontline Assembly, :wumpscut:. There, I feel better now.

As it is, this song has a great mood and it's catchy as hell I think. Are the lyrics politically themed or are they about some sort of relationship? I prefer to think the lyrics have a personal connection, based on how they're sung, but it's all a matter of angles in the end anyway.
