SGM's music can be roughly likened as something akin to avant-rock or avant-prog, but it practically escapes any rigorous categorization so that people usually have to name-drop different kinds of bands in order to give some sort of scope or conception of what they sound like. Some names that have come up in reviewers' texts include Mr. Bungle, Thinking Plague, Univers Zéro, White Zombie, Änglagård, King Crimson, and so on;

// SNOOP DOG "FUCK BILL O REILLY"

Snoop Dog goes off about Bill O' Reilly when O' Reilly insults a close friend of Snoop.

// NEW PINBACK ALBUM "AUTUMN OF THE SERAPHS" 9/11

Pinback returns September 11 with "Autumn of the Seraphs", the follow-up to 2004's "Summer in Abaddon". Both Mario Rubalcaba (Rocket From the Crypt, Hot Snakes, Black Heart Procession) and Chris Prescott (No Knife) took drumming duties on the disc.

DR. MARTENS USE K COBAIN, J STRUMMER, S VICIOUS & J RAMONE IMAGERY

So Dr. Martens, the shoe/boot company "hired" this advertising agency (SAATCHI & SAATCHI) to do some ads for them. S&S made up these images featuring Kurt Cobain, Joey Strummer, Sid Vicious and Joey Ramone in heaven wearing Dr. Marten boots (images below). Dr. Martens CEO David Suddens was quoted saying "We said no. It was creative that was put to us, but we didn’t like it. It doesn’t represent the company at all." But then S&S apparently released the images saying "We believe the ads are edgy but not offensive. There has been blog commentary both for and against the ads, but it is our belief that they are respectful of both the musicians and the Dr. Martens brand." Dr. Martens then responded by doing a press release saying "Dr Martens is very sorry..." "Dr Martens did not commission the work..." and "Dr Martens has terminated its relationship with the responsible agency."

Smells like a case of viral marketing to me. Remember when Nike released the "Major Threat" campaign ripping off the Minor Threat album cover then later apologizing after everyone and their dog was in an outrage and were threatened to be sued by Discord Records? Well it worked out nicely for Nike. A whole shitstorm went across the internet in hours, and everyone saw the Nike name. That's exactly what they wanted to happen, and mostly likely that exactly how they predicted it to happen.

This Dr. Martens situation is the same thing. Dr. Martens went to an advertising company, said "you guys make up these ads, release them, then we'll "fire" you so we don't get blamed, but you'll still get your check, plus a little more to make up for making your company look bad to the public eye."

Why would this advertising company release these images? It does not benefit them as a company whatsoever. It would make them look bad because they're breaking a client (a strong client I might add) relationship. It would however look good on Dr. Martans part saying "we had no idea! we fired their asses! we don't want anything to do with that!". Bullshit I say. A classic case of viral marketing. In the end, everyones happy. S&S got their check, Dr. Martans got their name out to a target audience in lightning speed, and the public calms down and is happy Dr. Martans had nothing to do with using their idols imagery and goes back to buying their shoes.

JESU / JUSTIN BROADRICK INTERVIEW: PART 2/3

Part 2/3: Justin Broadrick/Jesu Interview by The Eye

(Godflesh) felt really counterproductive after a while; with Jesu it's like it mirrors my personality much more. It's way more sensitive sounding music which is the person I always was, always have been, but Godflesh for me, I say repeatedly, was a complete defense mechanism for basically a person who is extremely frail, hypersensitive and scared of the world around me...

HOOKED: ILLEGAL DRUGS AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY

This is a great documentary on The History Channel I saw last night after returning to Dallas from my brothers graduation in Lincoln, NE. He majored in Bio-Psychology! Congrats Ben!

I feel the documentary is very informing on the fact that many drugs weren't illegal or even looked down upon as recently as 100 years ago. And even more informing that marijuana has been long praised before it was criminalized in 1937.

So why did marijuana and other drugs become illegal? Here's part 1 of 5. I will be posting the other parts later this week.

Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way Part 1

RANDOM 'NEW WORLD ORDER' REFERENCE IN TIMES ONLINE (UK)

Ok, weird...I found this article when searching for "new world order alcohol" to see if there was any evidence that "these people" (NWO people) want us to be drinking a lot etc.

But the first result I get is an article titled "Can you see where we fit in the new world order?" but makes no other references in the article about "New World Order".

Is this a tactic to slowly and carefully ease the term "New World Order" into our vocabulary so when it comes more to a head we the public feel more comfortable with the term?

Can you see where we fit in the new world order?

JESU / JUSTIN BROADRICK INTERVIEW

by The Eye

Thanks to my friend Kasi for pointing me to this interview. She must know i'm a huge J. Broadrick fan. There aren't to many video interviews on him I believe, so this is a good find. Thanks Kasi!

After a long absence, The Eye returns with a rare opportunity to sit down for a one-on-one conversation with Justin K. Broadrick. Justin talks about his roots in Napalm Death through Head of David, Godflesh, Final, and now Jesu; post-punk post-metal and the love of harmonies; and how nobody should ever expect a Godflesh reunion...ever!
