“Cevin” who is too cool to spell his name correctly, is a flaming lib. So it goes with the territory ;)

Play Hellery’s cackle on a loop, and the Muzzie dirtbags would give up their mother...and their favorite pleasure goat.

At least he didn’t play any Yoko Ono songs.

They should play Slim Whitman. It made the Martians’ heads explode. Wait never mind we could not get info from them then.

If they really wanted to torture them, they’d play the Time-Life Disco collection.

Bach takes us out of this darkest place with a blaze of light, five variations each more ecstatic than the last. How much happier am I supposed to get? The capstone of these is the Quodlibet, with its good humor and generosity of spirit, reenacting (so they say) Bach family parties where they would mash up various tunes, dazzle each other with contrapuntal mastery. Now, the words of the tunes are perhaps jokes, references that we can probably no longer get; everyone has their own idea what it all means. This lost joke which no one agrees about is the last laughing straw for me. Yes, the Goldbergs smile prismatically, a million smiles, from madcap pranks to blissful serenity—but after a while still I wonder: What are you smiling about anyway? A seventy minute smile is unseemly: it breeds suspicion.

I just checked out some of their music.

Torture yes, hard rock no.

$666,000

I'm sure they based this amount on actual damages and lost royalties.

They played the music for an audience, ASCAP fees apply, though I don’t think they’ll be that much.

Just a little. I'm tempted to suggest we give it to them, as a token of our agreement with them that their "music" amounts to torture.

Skinny Puppy are industrial rockers. Not hard rockers. There is a difference. They are avowed antivivisectionists. Their music isn’t much to write home about.

Skinny Puppy is industrial, not hard rock. I’m sure most don’t care, but that’s not only lazy journalism, it shows no musical discernment.

"I wouldn't want to be subjected to any overly loud music for six to 12 hours at a time without a break," he said, acknowledging that Skinny Puppy's music could be a "terrible nightmare" for some listeners.

So just how much DO they pay their studio producer or the sound guy at their concerts?
