Yes, but you could say the same thing about bin Laden, see.

It's Raggett, two 't's, please. As to why, I think your answer actually provides part of the explanation.
I'm with Ravenna here, don't criticize people that are just making good music.
Your comments have been noted by the management.
I hope Mike Tyson eats all your children, fuckers.
Hm. I give that a 3.7.

Aw, it's so sad. Signed to a major label only six months after forming in 1997, then that nasty piracy ruined the sales of their second record. Now they want $100,000 to release two eps? GTFO
I already copped to liking them, but that's some assholery.

is it bad form or not to note all the spelling mistakes in that spiel, given that it's essentially a covering letter

a covering letter where your employers are several thousand hypothetical goths, but even so

I got to the $25/day allotment per band/crew member and just started giggling.

"fiction" oddly respectable sounding

took me seven years to follow up on this, but it... really really holds up

what finally did it was hearing "opticon" play over the valentine's day party in the slasher movie valentine, that song is a total jam

the album is a little long in a 2001 kind of way but they nail this sound throughout and nothing strikes me as bad
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 15 February 2021 17:12 (three years ago) link
er, 2000 i mean
my parents were not thrilled that i was into a band called orgy
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 15 February 2021 17:14 (three years ago) link
such a rad and weird single... nu-metal's relationship with industrial rock was more implied than realized except with these guys and like contemporaneous fear factory records, but it is such a rad sound, all these weird detuned guitar lines like bending light trails through a techno-industrial cityscape.... more nu-metal should've taken from gary numan as well
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 February 2021 17:22 (three years ago) link
iirc i requested that song at a middle school dance. i'm cool

I still dig "Stitches" a lot, especially the Green Velvet mix:

It showed up as a b-side to the "Blue Monday" single (which I bought) and basically made me go "no matter what else this band does, they gave me this ferocious Thing I will treasure forever"

Stitches is great. Another time capsule song for me

i would cut "chasing sirens" but only for time, not bc it's a bad song
very obsessed with this record again lol, i gradually ended up rejecting it as a teen bc the lyrics came off to me as embarrassing cyberpunk nonsense... of course now i think that's fine and good

THIS song should've been a single
there was also an inherent queerness in orgy's presentation + the intermittent references in the music to gender and androgyny, which may have been a total put-on but i appreciate it anyway
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 February 2021 18:39 (three years ago) link
I just realized that I think a lot about this album. Even though I haven't listened to it in years, the lyrics will pop into my head fairly regularly. Not sure what that says about me, but it definitely left an impression.
