On the bright side, the more frequently really stupid people decide to kill themselves rather than others (although I see this guy already had done that), the less trouble they cause the rest of us.

Freakin hilarious. Hard to believe any of these folks are even remotely serious... I like the link to the "musical term" "Death grunt." I think I'll form a metal band and (following after the renowned Hatebeak) instead of vocals use sampled, altered pig grunts. Although it'd be better to do that and not tell anyone...and see how long it takes people to figure it out. Of course, you'd have to print the lyrics: From Satan's filth-encrusted bowels The claw of Nndungyrtgrwuth rends Its flaming gore in crackling gobs of boiling fat Expelled from slut-demons' cackling, shitting anuses (translated from the Norwegian) - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 21:25:28 -0400 From: "Stewart C.

It was recorded in spare bedrooms, the kitchen, the attic and of course my now infamous garden shed. Pop songs, radio jingles, film and TV music, or just plain old goofing about.'' Partridge rediscovered many forgotten tracks in the process. ``'I Don't Want To Be Here' for one,'' he said. ``Lots of folks love this song but XTC was pretty democratic, so if someone didn't go for a tune, it got binned. 'Everything' was another. One of the most touching lyrics I ever wrote -- in the toilet. 'The Bland Leading the Bland' -- so proud of this autobiographical rallying call to end that boring donut mentality. You can kind of see why I just didn't want these songs collecting dust and going unheard. We threw away better material than most bands made a career out of.'' Among his other favorites: ``Wonder Annual'' (''I always thought XTC should have recorded this surprisingly structured psychedelic slice''), ``End of the Pier'' (''It would have made a great out-of-season seaside companion piece to 'Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her''') and ``2 Rainbeau Melt'' (''Some of my favorite-ever lyrics matched to a trippy improvised soundscape. It arrived too late for the 'Wasp Star' album''). Partridge also helped assemble the packaging, which he modeled after a child's stamp album. ``How better to represent a large and diverse set of home recordings than to depict them as a series of imaginary stamps?,'' he said. Partridge has a number of other projects in the works, the first of which will be ``a double-disc set of purely improvised music called 'Monstrance.' My partners in one-take, overdub-free, unrehearsed crime are Barry Andrews -- ex-XTC keys man from way back -- and (drummer) Martyn Barker. Let's face it, nothing short of capital punishment is going to stop me making music.''
