awesome read. maybe I was never into the right music but I never understood the appeal of the self-destructive artist that he describes so thoroughly here. It always seemed so cheap and pointless (GG Allin, for example - whom Cook mentions).
Naw, Hell Songs still sucks. 2nd-rate Arab on Radar.
But Canada Songs and self-titled? Backed. Their discography's like a shit sandwich with gourmet multi-grain bread.
I only got to see them live once and I do remember it being pretty weird, but not quite to the levels described here. Guess I just missed out on some weird shit.
isn't Clarity on the wait list? i don't even know how this works and the criteria, but having a book about one of the best records of the past century would be kind of very awesome.
