Tonight, I give you (as far as my iPod will generate by itself) a mashup.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cryptorchid<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. (live version of) Elektrik<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These two songs came on one-after-another as I walked home from Wal-Mart.\u00a0 There are no other stores.\u00a0 All glory to Wal-Mart!<\/p>\n

    I have a smattering of Marilyn Manson on the iPod.\u00a0 I honestly haven’t listened to much of it.\u00a0 Some of it sounds pretty fucking boring, although I do think he has a great voice for the music he makes.\u00a0 And some of it is great.<\/p>\n

    And of course, King Crimson needs no introduction.\u00a0 Unless you don’t know who they are.\u00a0 They go WAY back.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Back further.\u00a0 Further.\u00a0 That’s about it.\u00a0 1969.<\/p>\n

    These two songs seemed to be one as I walked home.\u00a0 But I knew they weren’t, and the familiar beginning of “Elektrik” made me think “This sounds like King Crimson” as I listened.\u00a0 The effect is very cool to listen to them back to back.\u00a0 I often notice when songs seem to merge together like this on my iPod as I commute to and from work.\u00a0 These ones work pretty good together, and I swear that in both songs, there’s some talking a goin on about the number 7.<\/p>\n

    Song #1 is from an album called “Antichrist Superstar”.\u00a0 I remember when it came out.\u00a0 I was not a Manson fan back then, but I liked some of his stuff.\u00a0 Same goes for today.\u00a0 That’s all I have to say about that.<\/p>\n

    Song #2 is from King Crimson’s latest (and probably last) studio album, “The Power to Believe”, which came out in 2003.\u00a0 It’s a very good album, but then again, KC doesn’t have bad albums.\u00a0 Some of their albums are much maligned by even KC fans, but I like them all.<\/p>\n

    Listen to Trey Gunn play the fucking bass on this song!\u00a0 Fuck!\u00a0 Jot!\u00a0 Zoy!\u00a0 Dolf!<\/p>\n

    Very good music, and who knew that they could go together like peanut butter and chocolate.<\/p>\n

    Speaking of things that can be mixed, I would like to give a shout out to my Furry friend.<\/p>\n

    Hello, Uncle Furry!<\/p>\n

    And THIS is an “Anthroid”<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>
    \nYIFF!!!<\/p>\n

    That’s the Furry version of an android.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Very intriguing, but I’m still a fan of those lovely female humanoid robots. ;)<\/p>\n

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