Song(s) of the Day – “Cryptorchid” / “Elektrik” by Marilyn Manson / King Crimson

Tonight, I give you (as far as my iPod will generate by itself) a mashup.

  1. Cryptorchid
  2. (live version of) Elektrik

These two songs came on one-after-another as I walked home from Wal-Mart.  There are no other stores.  All glory to Wal-Mart!

(Click me!!!)

I have a smattering of Marilyn Manson on the iPod.  I honestly haven’t listened to much of it.  Some of it sounds pretty fucking boring, although I do think he has a great voice for the music he makes.  And some of it is great.

And of course, King Crimson needs no introduction.  Unless you don’t know who they are.  They go WAY back.  No.  Back further.  Further.  That’s about it.  1969.

These two songs seemed to be one as I walked home.  But I knew they weren’t, and the familiar beginning of “Elektrik” made me think “This sounds like King Crimson” as I listened.  The effect is very cool to listen to them back to back.  I often notice when songs seem to merge together like this on my iPod as I commute to and from work.  These ones work pretty good together, and I swear that in both songs, there’s some talking a goin on about the number 7.

Song #1 is from an album called “Antichrist Superstar”.  I remember when it came out.  I was not a Manson fan back then, but I liked some of his stuff.  Same goes for today.  That’s all I have to say about that.

Song #2 is from King Crimson’s latest (and probably last) studio album, “The Power to Believe”, which came out in 2003.  It’s a very good album, but then again, KC doesn’t have bad albums.  Some of their albums are much maligned by even KC fans, but I like them all.

Listen to Trey Gunn play the fucking bass on this song!  Fuck!  Jot!  Zoy!  Dolf!

Very good music, and who knew that they could go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

Speaking of things that can be mixed, I would like to give a shout out to my Furry friend.

Hello, Uncle Furry!

And THIS is an “Anthroid”


YIFF!!!

That’s the Furry version of an android.  You know, I’m such a horndog, I’d probably fuck this chick, even though she’s covered in fur, has a snout, and SIX FUCKING LIMBS.  Very intriguing, but I’m still a fan of those lovely female humanoid robots. ;)


(Note to the makers of that fucking hideously ugly “True Companion” ripoff, if you want people to fuck them, build them PRETTY.)

SCIENCE!!!
