music.
i've had a minor musical dilemma for the past year or two. i found a band with a sound that really melts my butter - aggro, dancey, hard, wild, fun. but the lyrics in some of the songs, esp. the early ones, can be quite misogynistic. if the actual words are not heard - just the voice like it's another instrument - all is good. but the lyrics... this man needs a large heavy boot to the head. repeatedly.
oh, the band is combichrist.
this is the sound that i adore - but not the content!!! fucker!!! so nearly perfect.
i have to admit that i listen to his music but make an effort to not play "those" songs. am i a terrible person? i'm always lazily searching for new [to me] music and i don't often find a sound that i respond to as viscerally as combichrist. sometimes i turn off the music in disgust and vow that i'll never listen to it again and will tell the world not to listen with me. but then a month later it creeps back into my mind.... i just can't stop.
... is it made better or worse by the fact that i didn't pay for his music ... ?
