Let me just go ahead and say that when I heard "Wax Simulacra" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, I was worried like hell. On first listen, the song seemed static and bland. The time signature didn't seem to hide the fact that it was barely a song. And then came the sax solo, it seemed, dare I say, overly new age. But being a fan of most of their previous work, I bought their latest CD...and its good.
Definitely more of a return to their debut "De-loused", focusing more on individualized songs than the extended jams of "Amputechture" or beds of noise favored in "Frances the Mute". Sure, the first half begins to exhaust the listener with its loud-louder dynamics, but after the cool down that is "Tourniquet Man", the second half invigorates the listener with some of the best "hooks" that can be found on a prog album.
So that's great.
This Super Tuesday stuff is too excruciating to watch. They just predicted Clinton will win California and I started shaking. Why is America messing this election up for me? Is there some sort of hidden plot to crush all my dreams? Hulk Hogan pretty much endorsed Obama. Hulk Hogan! Are we just gonna pretend like that didn't happen?
I've got news for you America. That happened. That most definitely happened. Now that's an endorsement noone could've predicted. Now if you squander this, America. I won't be there to pick up all the pieces.
