Lambrini Girls "C_ntology 101"

Lambrini Girls WHO LET THE DOGS OUT
Please note that the change in the title is mine because, well, I don't want to get punished by Google/Blogspot.

You may have noticed that it was Bandcamp Friday last week, which you already knew if you read this blog because I may have mentioned it once or twice. I made a few purchases (which I will be highlighting on my main blog later), of which this is one. 

Should we start the week with the "c-word?"

I think so.

I consider myself to be a feminist, but as I am a man I believe that I'm a feminist that needs to listen to what women have to say. For example, I have been listening to how some women have decided to own that word.

I have enjoyed the last couple of years how some acts have made an effort to reclaim the most awful American curse (which obviously doesn't have the same power across the pond in the UK).

There's no better example of that than here when it is used ironically:

Getting used to saying no is cunty
Getting out of your comfort zone
Learning how to let go is cunty
Having cum on my shirt is cunty
Setting boundaries is cunty
Respecting others is cunty too
Putting yourself first is cunty
Learning to love yourself is cunty

So welcome to Monday, the start of the work week, let's admire how strong, independent women are taking back the "c-word" for themselves!

Nine Inch Nails "Closer" (B Stage Remix w/Boys Noize)

Updated (04.24.26): since NIN/Boys Noize have since released Nine Inch Noize  I have updated this post with the official version of the track below. At 30+ years old I think we can all agree that "Closer" was a hit that was about as perfect as it could have been, and has since become a classic.  But ever since I saw NIN in Detroit, and even before, thanks to YouTube, I have been obsessed with this remix of the track. I thought maybe that would fade, but here we are weeks later and I am still impressed with not only the audacity to rework such a well-known, iconic song, but I'm equally astounding as to how well it works. And now, with the Coachella lineup announced  (see above as well), it's obvious that this NIN/Boys Noize collaboration is going to continue as Nine Inch Noize. Personally, I love it, and am hopeful to get an official release of this version so I can buy it and listen to it to my heart's content. Welcome to Monday! Enjoy!

Elbow "Sober"

Look, I realize that I just posted a song by Elbow on Friday , and to be clear, this isn't an Elbow fanatic blog now. That said, I was anticipating hearing  "My Sad Captains" over the weekend, but Elbow changed their setlist and, sadly, I did not get to hear it peformed live. It is what it is, the show was still amazing! I fully admit that I had only taken a cursory listen to their new album Audio Vertigo before the show, but "Sober" was definitely a live standout. I've listened to this song multiple times since hearing it live on Sunday night and am currently obsessed. So yeah, you got some Elbow on Friday, and now you get some more today because this song is now an earworm for me. It's so damn good! (FYI: this song is technically from the Audio Vertigo: Echo EP, but it is now included on the deluxe version of Audio Vertigo, as are the other EP tracks.) Enjoy!

Depeche Mode "Personal Jesus"

This week is my birthday week, so I have decided to dedicate this week to the band that I love the most: Depeche Mode. "Personal Jesus" is the song that made me an ardent fan of DM. I have delved into my fanhood on my main blog (you can read about that here if you'd like), but the short version is that I was aware of their song "People Are People" from when I was 10, but I was a kid and did not pay attention to music and bands like I did when I was in my teens. Serendipitously, that's when I first heard "Personal Jesus." As an older fan, this song has always struck a chord with me. I sometimes hear from much younger fans that this song is overhyped and overplayed, and maybe so, but would you ask Fleetwood Mac to stop playing "Landslide?" OMD to stop playing "If You Leave?" U2 to stop playing "With or Without You?" And I fully admit that there's a lot of nostalgia baked into this song for me as it was the  song that...
