It's a Cyclops Kitty! Yay Cyclops Kitty!
The Angstageddon! It's coming!
Once upon a time there were no tampons in three out of the four girls' bathrooms. We complained to the front office. Now there are magical tampon bowls. We are the tampon heroes of our elitist prep school. And how fine it is!
This is our mascot.

I like his Bill Clinton impression.
ReplyDeleteI miss the 90s. Real bad. Teenage Zoe would have done better in them, I think.
I love him. Fuck what everyone says. I love him.
Also, I think Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga are EXTREMELY EXTREMELY SIMILAR. Just change the type of music and widen the kind of weirdness, not just Gothy weirness. But don't try to tell me Lady Gaga would not wear that outfit and dance like that. I've always said Gaga is more like Marilyn Manson than Madonna.
i was definitely making that exact point last night. gags borrows a lot of manson's aesthetic in her videos. "the dope show" + "the beautiful people" = "paparazzi", in both song content and video. her interest in the distortion of the human image and her idea of stylized violence is also a lot like manson's.
ReplyDeletedavid bowie + marilyn manson + madonna = lady gaga
also, i definitely spied some bowie influences in manson, which means
ozzy osbourne + david bowie = marilyn manson?
also, to come up with this magical tenet of pop culture i spent like 3 hours watching manson interviews and music videos on youtube. not exactly the best use of my time but i've decided that he was literally the coolest guy before "golden age of the grotesque" and then it all kind of went downhill. he has this great aesthetic going in all of his earlier music videos that i really admire.
I actually really enjoyed that album. I did not enjoy Eat Me, Drink Me. Just not feelin' it. I'm pretty sure The High End Of Low sucks too, though this is a preliminary assessment. And I haven't gotten into Holy Wood, but I haven't given it a proper chance. For me, Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Golden Age of Grotesque are the (Un)Holy Trinity of MM. I'm putting the cutoff at when he released Lest We Forget. It was a great compilation of his work. I think perhaps his oeuvre should not have been added to. I listened to Eat Me, Drink Me and was bored.
ReplyDeleteAs to the Bowie influences, I would agree. He has the spectacle like Bowie, and the image shifts. If you watch MM closely you see him shift images. Once time his influence was a large black and silver car. Also, they both wore a lot of makeup. They both faded, but continued to make albums (too real?).
