Peter Steele on his Playgirl photoshoot»

Q: I do think you actually broke some serious ground for that magazine, since they now show guys with erections whereas, before your issue, they didn’t do that.

A: I know, I don’t know what the deal is. I mean, some guys are growers and some guys are show-ers. I happen to be a grower. I don’t want to elaborate too much on the subject of my penis, but when it’s flaccid, it’s really flaccid. And it’s like, “I don’t want to show this. There’s nothing to look at here.” I told them I’d do it under this one condition or there was not going to be any photo session.

Peter Steele, frontman of Type O Negative, died yesterday from heart failure. My most sincere farewell to him, wherever he may be. I’ve been a long fan of Type O Negative from at least 10 years on. Since he was a big, badass motherfucker with a wicked sense of humor, I find the photograph appropiate. If something remotely similar to Hell does indeed exist, he’s surely banging a horde of demon chicks in this very moment. I’ve put together a little Spotify playlist featuring what I consider some of Type O Negative’s best stuff. His previous work with Carnivore shouldn’t be dismissed by anybody interested in fast, angry, testosterone-fueled thrashcore, so I’ve added a few of their tracks, too. A farewell to Peter Steele.

A farewell to Peter Steele.

La primera película que vi de Moodyson fue Fucking Amal y en esta escena por poco me parto en dos. Algo que después me ha pasado a menudo mientras iba conociendo su filmografía.

Las comparaciones son odiosas y el cuerpo me pide sacar a colación cineastas cuya sola mención quedaría fea en este post. Pero los hay (y muy populares) que llevan toda su carrera cocinando basura emocional que pasa por auténtica, intensa y (puagh) sincera para un sorprendente número de personas, con un poco de ayuda de marketing, famoseo y tal. Por eso es una suerte que estén ahí Moodyson y sus pelis y de vez en cuando alguien los descubra y el mundo sea un sitio un poco mejor.

Buenos días, johntones. No se puede empezar el día mejor.

Music I’ve Been Heavily Listening To And Why

In which I compensate for the lack of a monthly Last.fm Top 5 souless, automated post and try to pour an extra bit of light on my sonic adventures. And because good music is one of the few things that justify the usually disgraceful event of humanity rising from the mud.

So yeah, you can safely skip this post.

This is what Last.fm recorded as my top 5 artists during the last 3 months.

1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Mostly because of the awesome It’s Blitz! which rates amongst the most beautiful, soulful, solid albums I’ve ever heard. It can be described as the gifted love child of a Le Tigre and a Lali Puna album. Reference track: Dull Life. Sleeper hit: Hysteric.

2. Shearwater

Officially tagged folk rock, these guys cover a way broader spectrum than that. They can be Nick Cave-esquely kinky and muscular now, and then submerge into an atmospheric catharsis that would make PJ Harvey and Björk weep together. Their songs usually clock under 4’ which is -to me- an additional sign of class. Reference track: The Snow Leopard. Sleeper hit: Castaways.

3. Stereophonics

Guilty pleasure. Their compilation A Decade in The Sun (Best of Stereophonics) is to blame. Never been a fan of them, but this record simply got stuck in my brain. Stereophonics is the indiest AOR can get, or viceversa. Think post-grunge, The Cult and, er… Bryan Adams, probably. Reference track: Dakota, My Own Worst Enemy, Devil. No sleeper hit - this is a Best Of, remember.

4. Dismember

A recently found treasure. Part of the Swedish death metal scene since the very beginning, their songs are fast, pummeling and underproduced, yet retain a glimpse of melody. Not quite as big as Entombed, Morbid Angel or Slayer, but equally relevant to the Modern Death Metal As We Know It. Reference track: Dreaming in Red. Sleeper Hit: Silent Are the Watchers.

5. Raveonettes

Raveonettes’s discography could serve as the soundtrack of a fictional U.S.A. road trip where The Beach Boys and the Reid brothers, equipped with guns and black muscle cars drink, snort, rob, fuck, murder and burn everything in their path until mutually blowing their heads off in an epic final shootout. They’re fast, fun, instantly recognizable and consistently amazing. Reference track: Beat City. Sleeper hit: Breaking Into Cars.

Boy, can I talk. If you made it to this point, I love you. To be continued with a Stuff That Didn’t Make In To My Heavy Rotation But Is Equally Awesome post.
