Such a rush! One comes after another. I did listened to it since the day it appeared on youtube. So I write this comment a little late. Have to admit, I really felt purified in some sence. It also feels somehow Ironically and blasphemous to an 80's rock stars culture somehow. It may be wasn't, but anyway it gives you an abillity to think your own meanings to it. I've also listened to an earlier works, I really like the "Face Within the Boots, Body Within the Leg" and "J.K. Reflexology" - this one something completely different. And of course I still listen to my favourite "Booty Live Tape" almost every single day, haha.

 

You got a great point! My guitar sound is always some kind of blasphemy of existing major rocks. I really hate when rock become ordinally boring pop music. For example, in Dinosaur JR's Bug, "Don't" is the only rock music in this album and other tracks are just pop music with some distorted guitar sounds, not rock at all. The same goes other kind of "avantgarde" rock bands.  But I do like rock music but only real ones.

 

I only can feel real rock sound when Jimi Hendrix going crazy and using feedback too much, Kurt Cobain plays noise guitar with William Burroughs' spoken words, Kevin Shields plays noise feedback over 20 minutes and so on. But it's very fun to dig real rocknroll because it's kind not easily to find, I have to dig very deeper and deeper. Thanks to Discogs or Youtube and other medias, I can easy to access to it if I can find any. hahaha.

 

To me, Rock has been same as Mathematics taught by elementary school. Boring, no inspiration in it, too pop to me...But when I find real rock, I had to redefine what the rock music is. The same goes real Mathematics. It's very cool, abstract and philosophical.

 

By the way, I relently discovered Japanse "real" rock band called "Otoboke Beaver". They have no stupid ballad and no miserable acoustic songs. They really rock!
