skinny puppy - shiny shoes or stinky socks?

Re: the above -- all sounds great to me! There should be more of it! (And I think there's a thread on this already, to which Dan Perry has no doubt copiously posted.)

someone should've had a quiet word when the "pigface" concept fruited

See Dan Perry's Skinny Puppy thread

ah yes you see i wasn't aware of that thread. may as well scrap this one unless anyone has any interesting views on shoes or socks in music (red hot chili peppers ain't going to cut it i think)

Thinking of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' stinky socks has reduced me to racking sobs, thank you very much. There's only so much horror a fragie mind can bear...

what did nu shooz do i can't remember. i did like frank zappa's red clown shoes ('69 -'72). and those boots they make the poor girls in mis-teeq wear - surely they can't be expected to dance (or shut up for that matter). uk flavour indeed! well - that would be cheddar cheese and mustard don't you think??

It's been a long time since I've heard Skinny Puppy. I used to hang out with someone who played them all the time (though she may have only had one or two tapes), and I hated them, even though I was high most of the time we were together, and even though this was a period when I was much more interested in industrial music than I am now (TG's 4 CD live box set was in heavy rotation). Aside from one track (Chickasaw) from "Notes from thee Underground," I don't/didn't like Pigface either. Saw them once and found them depressing. Ah, I was already depressed, so maybe it wasn't their fault. I do find their self-congratulatory stance about how adventurous their music and lifestyle is a bit annoying.
