entries to make love to

what's this...an entry on a day when macabre isn't on? why yes, it is. today i'm not going to post anything "escape from l.a." as...well, i don't feel like it right now. that and i have other stuff to share. now, let us enjoy this bounty that you are about to receive:

Dry Kill Logic
Rot [Edit]
Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck
A Better Man Than Me [Mongo Remix]
SAB (Get The Fuck Out)

all of those came from the "rot" radio promo that roadrunner records gave out to a few lucky people years ago. now this promo is from "the darker side of nonsense" era when they only released this one album on roadrunner and then left when the label wanted the band to adopt a "more commercial sound". i guess that's exec speak for "sound like nickelback". anywho, apparently the band recorded their cover of prong's "snap your fingers, snap your neck" for this promo. it really doesn't stray too far away from prong's version except for the fact it's a bit faster...actually it's a bit faster than grinspoon's cover too. the "rot [edit]" is not a radio edit where they remove all expletives, but in this case, all they really did was just remove 1:20 from the beginning of the song. i have no clue why, but i suspect it's so they could fit more commercials on the radio. "a better man than me" is obviously a remix, but i can't really compare it to the original as i haven't heard it yet. "sab (get the fuck out)" is weird. it sounds like it was recorded at a party...well, all the vocals you hear. apparently this track was a redoing of a track on the album...i don't really know either. but it's fucking funny as hell as the only lyrics in the thing are "sab, get the fuck out". that and you can hear bitching before and after that. i don't know if these tracks were commercially released, but here you go.


Faith No More
Easy
Das Schutzenfest
Midnight Cowboy [Album Version]
Let's Lynch The Landlord

these are from the "songs to make love to" e.p. or as i know it the "easy" single. i say this as the cover on my copy actually says "easy" not "songs to make love to". only on the disc itself is this printed. now, this is a bit odd especially for faith no more. i mean, this entire single is just plain odd. you can tell this is where mike patton took over. "easy" is a commodores cover and is pretty good. this version is different from the version that was eventually included with later pressings of "angel dust". it does not contain the spoken intro and has strings throughout the song. "das schutzenfest" is...well, it sounds like something you'd hear at oktoberfest. i'm pretty sure it's in german and well...it's faith no more doing a german polka song. if that doesn't say how odd this song is, well...i don't know what does. "midnight cowboy" is the album version that was on "angel dust" so no need to go on about that one. finally another odd track..."let's lynch the landlord". now, obviously it's a dead kennedys cover, but this is perhaps the most fucking odd DK cover i've ever heard. you think of a DK cover, you'd think that it'd resemble the original in some form. not here because, once again, the polka vibe kicks in. there really is nothing else i can say about this track. i can't form words when i think about it. it's that indescribable. so...listen to it for yourself heh.
