escape from the blog part 1...or 2...

i actually had started to post this entry a week or so ago, but alas...something happened and i didn't feel like retyping all that shit out again. i also had intended to add the "L.A. Remix" of "Blame" and a few other choice songs...but i got lazy and didn't upload them just yet. and yes...macabre is on right now, but i just don't feel like uploading today. maybe tomorrow...who knows heh. let's get on with the music.

White Zombie
The One

one of the last 3 original songs released by white zombie before their "hiatus". i swear, if you heard the word "hiatus" and a band's name in the same sentence, said band is dead. i just wish band's would just say "it's dead" instead of leaving false hope out there in the form of "hiatus", but i digress.

as i saying, this song like the other 2...well, i guess "i'm your boogie man" doesn't count since it's a cover and not an original song...ah shit, fuck it. this song like the other 2 songs strangely got relegated to soundtrack duty before the bands demise. of the 3 songs, i feel this one is the more superior and yes i do like "ratfinks, suicide tanks and cannibal girls" but this one just packs more punch. it's prolly the most industrial white zombie song ever released. anywho, i think this song could've worked better as a swansong than "ratfinks". i'm prolly the only who feels this way, but what can i say? i love this one.


Stabbing Westward
Dawn

whats not the love about this one too? it has the most memorable line in the history of stabbing westward: "so let's fuck until we fall asleep". c'mon how many bands can actually think of a lyric completely obvious like that and make it work? i dare you to listen that line and not chuckle just a little bit when you hear christopher hall say "fuck". enough of that hehe. this song also sadly got demoted to soundtrack duty too (obviously as it's on the same damn soundtrack as the previous song heh). i guess it doesn't fit anywhere on "wither blister burn + peel"...too slow i suppose, who knows? but what i do know is this, "dawn" existed before in a previous incarnation as a song known as "plastic jesus" on the "iwo jimma" demo.

how the hell "dawn" arose from that track i'll never know as there is virtually nothing from that track that made it's transition into it's final form (now notice i said "virtually" to cover my ass just in case i'm dead wrong hehe). i'd prolly be able to figure it out more if the copy of the demo i have was of better quality, but you take what you can get. for a long time, this soundtrack was the only place to get this song until the release of "the essential" which just detracts from this release as a whole as this was one of the jewels of the cd, i say this as the soundtrack starts off with this very song. strangely "the essential" also contained the josh wink version of "torn apart" which stabbing westward apparently hates...*shrug* i'll get around to posting that another time.

ok, enjoy what little i've given you today and hopefully i can repeat the xXx-mas entry again on another day.
