Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at More Things. What with the paranoid religious visions, the Pentecostal music, visions of God and anarchy running amok and such, somebody …

    If you're into boring tuneless loud noise presented as "music," then this should be a big week for you. Specifically, we get a new Nine Inch Nails opus With Teeth.

    Jesus, Al, how old are you, 84? This is the kind of comment that comes out of someone's grumpy old grandpa, not a music fan. Regardless, it's quite an impressive piece of music, even if you ARE into "tuneless loud noise." You should give it a listen with an open mind before jumping to conclusions. It's pretty universally getting great reviews from critics and fans alike.

    Dear Mr Johnson: Flibeldy-flew! Back in my day we had these things called SONGS, and we liked it. We LOOOVED it!

    I confess not having heard any of these new albums. It is possible that Reznor has suddenly become a real musician when I wasn't looking. It's possible that this new album will not turn out to be a completely worthless piece of unpleasant noise, as has everything else by this artist.

    Big Al: "I confess not having heard any of these new albums."

    Aw, shit, Al! And here I thought you'd be looking at a picture of Lyndie Englund while masturbating along with the United States Army Band's new rave-up, "Forward March"

    I'm shocked, but *hopeful.


    * the day is young

    I'm looking forward to The Raveonettes. Samples of the album sound good. Can't wait to grab this sometime today maybe.
