The Gate je najbolji Swans live album, tj. najbolji Đirin live album. Zvuči veoma abrazivno, čak "metalizirano" sa vremena na vreme. "Black Hole Man", tj. sada "Black Eyed Man" očekivano ubija, ima još novih i dobrih gruvova.

 

Demo snimci ponovo nude uvid u ideje pred razrađivanje i snimanje pesama, ali se provlači AoL nota, malo više nego ranije.

 

Kvalitet novih pesama u živom izvođenju me je sada malo nahajpovao za album, a možda se moja pretpostavka o reaktiviranju AoL obistini, radujem se i takvom sledu događaja. :da:

I was enjoying not being on FB precisely for the social media nightmare(s) I must rejoin to address now, due to a former musical "protege" on my husband Michael Gira's record label has accused him of being a rapist......in 2008. As you may know, Michael dropped Larkin, and she has been jilted about it ever since. Larkin may know in the past, Michael has shuddered and simply deleted her harassing emails/texts, rambling obsessive tomes, declarations of unrequited love, hate speech, and threats to him. but, guess what sweetheart!- his wife is well aware----and his wife, is rather analytical, organized, -and doesn't put up with any bullshit. I have PROOF, in Larkin's own hand, that her allegations of Michael raping her *did not happen.* I REPEAT It is false. (Larkin-you should have been much more careful whom you emailed/messaged/purged/"reached out" to in "heartfelt" way, etc etc, or in letting yourself use a computer, during what seems to have been from the illiad of messages sent to my husband that are c-r-a-z-y -suffering from a manic/bipolar or chemical relapse episode)That is unfortunate-for you. I have nothing but empathy for a person who has experienced assault. After all, *I* survived an extremely violent rape/kidnap attempt, which resulted in, (through my fighting hand to hand combat) in great injury to myself-but it saved my life. My entire life was affected. I was diagnosed with severe PTSD, panic disorder, and often have difficulty walking to my car in the Target parking lot after dark, sometimes bursting into tears. Do I like sharing such info on the internet? NO, but I feel at this juncture, I have no choice. I didn't have any "artist love affair" (puh-leeze) -it was a complete stranger. Nevertheless, it causes me such pain-daily, there is a song on a new Swans album, Michael wrote for me- (that I sing myself) I have not even listened to the song more than once since its recording, It upsets me so much to even hear myself sing it. This was, a loving attempt from Michael Gira to help me heal from such a horrible event. I take great insult in you accusing my husband of something like I went through. (And I have the police report, injury records, doctors, therapies, witnesses, etc) This isn't meant to be tit for tat, but, I hate liars. I hope people do share this post. -and I hope Larkin sees it, and I hope she is wrecked with nerves, because I repeat, I have *PROOF in her own hand* that what she wrote today is false about my husband. I am currently being muzzled (by atttorneys, managers, labels, and the like) but rest assured, the truth will come out. Larkin, you will publicly apologize, and face serious consequences. Please share. P.S anyone who bashed my husband or his music, when they see the proof- is going to feel like a complete fool.I hope you feel shame, and think about your actions. I am not negating a negative experience by a woman or man in a sexual context, or god forbid an assault on anyone, but it is SCARY AS HELL, that some mentally unbalanced (and admittedly so, *you'll see that too, once I release what I have*) can just post on Facebook, and the entire internet music press runs the story as "fact" -Any musician or artist in the public eye (or not, really this concerns everyone) should be wary, VERY WARY p.s. "the boy who cried wolf" is a great allegory for the starfucker-in the end- nobody listened to either of them howl.

Yesterday, singer/songwriter Larkin Grimm claimed that Swans frontman Michael Gira raped her in spring 2008, when she was recording her album Parplar for Gira's Young God label. In a Facebook post yesterday, she said she confronted Gira and he then dropped her from his label. Gira called Grimm's accusations "a slanderous lie" on his personal Facebook page. In an official statement through his publicist, Gira has acknowledged the spring 2008 night in question, but calls the incident "an awkward mistake." Read his full statement below. Update (2/27, 9:40 a.m.):Grimm sent us a statement in response to Gira's comments, which she calls "an admission of guilt." Read it below.

Gira:

Eight years ago, while I was still married to my first wife, Larkin Grimm and I headed towards a consensual romantic moment that fortunately was not consummated. As she wrote in her recent social media postings about that night, I said to her, "this doesn't feel right," and abruptly but completely our only intimate encounter ended. It was an awkward mistake.

Larkin may regret, as I certainly do, that the ill-advised tryst went even that far, but now, as then, I hold her in high esteem for her music and her courage as an artist.

I long ago apologized to my wife and family and told them the truth about this incident. My hope is that Larkin finds peace with the demons that have been darkening her soul since long before she and I ever met.

Grimm:

This is a perfect example of why we need to have education about consent. In a gentlemanly move he admits the act happened but cannot conceive of himself as a rapist. Thank you Michael Gira for your honesty. This is your truth as you remember it. Unfortunately, this was still rape. I said no to you many times before that day, begged you not to interfere with me sexually, even made it a part of a verbal agreement we had when I signed a contract with you. I asked you to promise that you would never have sex with me. You assured me that I could trust you. That is about as clear a NO as I could ever cry. I asked for this because I had had other experiences in my music career and I KNEW.

That night I was far too intoxicated to give you consent for any sexual act. The psychological effects of this betrayal were devastating. Even worse, when I finally confronted you about what you had done, you terminated my relationship with Young God Records, damaging my career and leading people to believe there was something wrong with me or my music.

In the end, this is about business. Art is my career. I have worked long and hard for this career, making incredible sacrifices along the way to continue to make music. The fact that a man in power can throw a women's life and work away like they are garbage, simply because she won't sleep with him, is an immoral injustice that happens to many, many women in music. I won't stand for it and neither should you.

The "Demons darkening my soul" are the men like you who interfere with my ability to do my work as a musician. This is a job I am good at. All I want is to be left in peace while I am working.

Auu, još jedno preimenovanje pesme, sada je naslovna, zverina. I sve demo stvari sa The Gate su prerasle u prave verzije i našle mesto na albumu.

 

Dođi, Vole, da hajpujemo zajedno. :D

Možda petnaestak minuta, ako su, recimo, produžili u odnosu na verziju sa The Gate - tamo je prvih petnaest minuta prerađena "Bring The Sun", pa desetominutna vožnja ovoga i pet minuta sjebavanja svega.

 

Ove godine su na spisku za gledati, želim da ih još jednom uhvatim dok su u ovoj postavi.

Uzeo da obrnem To Be Kind..

Slusanje tog albuma je kao neki ritual, kao tinejdzeri iz filmova kad prizivaju duhove, kao da cackam mecku nema zajebancije dok se slusa inace si najebao, a jos je i dugacak onako masivan..

Kad grune rif sve mi u glavi neki king kong kako rusi solitere kamionima..

Ovaj novi ce morati najbrutalniji da bude od svih, nema druge..

Jarboe je dizala tegove i radila vezbe slusajuci FILTH pre nego sto je usla u bend :D

Čitao sam to u nekom intervjuu, mislio sam da sam okačio ovde. Ako budem ponovo naišao, ispraviću grešku.

 

Verovatno je to bilo pred odlazak na koncert ili pred Jarboe u Beogradu, pročitao sam gomilu intervjua sa njom i Đirom. :D
