That's freakin hilarious. I always imagined Gira being kind of a goof ball. I mean a lot of his music is so tongue in cheek, it's hard to take it entirely seriously.
Swans.
As in Michael Gira? If so - awesome. It's been mainly the Tiger Lillies for me with a little Ulver thrown in occasionally. I lurve the Tiger Lillies. My desktop picture is a photo of them with their faces pressed up against glass. I was fortunate to see Michael Gira with the Angels of Light. I am still rather floored by the fact that the gloomiest man in the music business is actually a pretty funny bastard. I didn't have anything for him to sign, so I handed him my purse--which was a tiny "Canada" lunch box with a cartoon smiley-face maple leaf on it. To put this in perspective, I was a full-on Goth at that point in my life and dressed the part. "That's just wrong." he stated. "I know." He took his sharpie and gave the maple leaf fangs and angry eyebrows. "There." "Did you really accidentally eat a cockroach while tripping?" "I think I might have." "Awesome" And thus went my one and only conversation with Michael Gira. |

His sense of humor is very dry. He reminds me of somebody's sane but slightly twisted uncle.
He was very chatty during the show, and the cockroach story came up because it was one of his few outstanding memories of living here in Indiana.

An unusual modus operandi... why do you only listen to Marley in February? |

Which PWEI were you listening to? I think "This is the Day, This is the Hour, This is This" is one of the best examples of early 90's sampling, and a damn good album regardless.

If you like Combichrist, find an australian band called Angelspit. You will (most probably) fall in love with them. |

I have all their released stuff on my MP4 player, so listening to all of it! This is the Day... is a great album, and was interestingly described by Rolling Stone magazine as Britains answer to the Beastie Boys......  This is the peak of their sampling though, it all went down hill when they got a drummer, just like Carter.......  |

Today the Abney Park back catalogue in chronological order... as they metamorphose from a po-faced so-so Goth band into the interesting Airship Piratical adventurers along the way...
Followed by the Space 1889 audio adventure "The Steppes of Thoth" so far they've been swamped in a canal by polar meltwater in a martian canal-boat only to be rescued by an airship... get attacked by...
...well I don't want to reveal too much but it's all good so far...

I've recently discovered "the gallows" a really great hardcore punk band, not just the typical bush sucks lets drink and be anarchists bull crap.
Also Test Icicles have been pleasing my brain as of late.

Haha that's brilliant. I saw him doing a solo acoustic set a while back and as much as I prefer his Swans era stuff he doesn't half captivate you.

Hey, It's me interjecting into conversations again. On the list currently are: KMFDM(2 new releases coming in 1-2 months *Squee*), Frank Klepacki, Covenant and Pendulum. My musical tastes are quite expansive, but currently these performers get my adoration. |

Oh my good god, I just watched a video of Hell March III being played live.... Klepacki's guitar is one of the best things I've ever seen.

I have to be honest, I've always been a bit skeptical about Gallows since they signed to Warner Bros which kind of begs the question "are they actually punk?" Although in all fairness the only thing that should matter about a band is how they sound, not who they're signed to; maybe I'm just shallow like that. Have you ever listened to Ghost of a Thousand? I can't say how much they're in the same vein as Gallows, but whenever I listen to the latter I generally end up switching it off for the former. Currently listening to: The Mars Volta - Bedlam in Goliath. Love the drumming and everything else too. |

I seem to go through phases of listening to a small handful bands or artists, and no others, despite my actual collection spanning hundreds.
Right now I'm particularly fond of Creature Feature (the horror-themed musical duo rather than the band), London After Midnight's 'Violent Acts of Beauty', She Wants Revenge, Love and Rockets, Combichrist, and the Crüxshadows. I also seem to be swaying back in Patrick Wolf's direction.
