So Kinoko Teikoku have disbanded. Can’t say I’m overly sad because as one of the greatest shoegaze/dream pop groups they quickly degenerated into vapid J-pop after their switch to Universal. Still would’ve been nice to see them on tour. In honour of their classics:
The greatest Australian band in history. It was once considered that the national anthem should be changed to “Drink, Fight, Fuck”.
And then there was... Portsmouth Sinfonia : "In the Hall of the Mountain King" Wasn't hep to that Bay area project, Mitch. Thanks! Spoiler
Since the Tool catalog was released online today for streaming/download but it did not include Salival (at least on itunes).
I SAID OH NO SIR. I MUST SAY YOU’RE WRONG. I MUST DISAGREE. Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me. I’d fuck me hard.
So the new Tool track is out after 13 years. 13 years in which we all probably outgrew them. Not bad by any means but it doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Almost feels like a Lateralus outtake IMO. Their first 4 releases each had a distinctive personality which I feel this track (and 10,000 Days) lacks. Worth mentioning though in case it’s a grower and if any diehards out there feel differently.
Not knocking any of you, but all it takes are the opening bars of any recording by Tool to make me feel just terrible. Been true since their debut - over 25 years of bummers! Tonic: Run Through the Jungle - Gun Club
I love this song. It makes me feel dirty every time I listen to it. Probably shouldn't have seen Silence of the Lambs so young.
