Also: Caspar Brotzmann Massaker is extremely loud. Ow! And lurid in their lust for treble and tinnitus-inducing squalls of truly devolved sound. The work of genius or lunacy, that sort of thing, you know....
Why am I here? I could be finishing THE DOME. Bye! *(descends into book coma)*

The new Stephen King book, UNDER THE DOME, is the best thing he's done in... well, a very long time. Of course I am only 697 pages into it (it just came out yesterday), and DUMA KEY did turn into a pumpkin -- a bad, lame pumpkin at that -- so it could all turn to dogshit before too much longer. But I don't think so. Sure, none of the component parts are terribly original, and his technical form is a tad sloppy in places (confusing "dikes" with "dykes," which was kind of amusing, but still a blooper), but in terms of pure story-telling he really brought his A-game. He actually did some research this time around instead of just winging it, too, which helps. The story itself is essentially a high-tech cross between THE TOMMYKNOCKERS and NEEDFUL THINGS, both nominally science-fiction stories that are actually thinly-veiled homages to the immortal TWILIGHT ZONE episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street." Seeing as how I liked the original TZ episode and both of the aforementioned King books, I don't think it's entirely surprising I like the new one. But it hasn't disappointed me yet. (Key word: yet.)

Korperschwache - FEAR THE HEX
3xC60 Edition of 100
Black Canyon Drone starts things off right away with a blast of hyper
distorted guitar and doesn't stop for the remainder if the cassette.
Hidden melodies float in and out, with the occasional riff and drum
beat surfacing. Death Disco slows things down with stumbling drums
over layers of murk and blackened filth. Dissonance and Submission
finishes everything off with walls of buzz and shards of feedback. Not
for the open-minded.

It's not so much fun to talk to people who have the freedom to laugh at you, huh, Disco Prez?
