Unfortunately the FCC has better things to do like make sure born-again Christians do not get offended when somebody says "shit" on the radio. :-) (Actually the FCC seems pretty laidback when compared to some of the other federal agencies.) >Really-From: rutgers!sevp@pwcs.StPaul.GOV (Sev Pearman) >fIREHOSE/Descendants 3/25 So we weren't the only ones to get Descendents after fIREHOSE. Oh well... Descendents found out they were playing here like the nite before the gig. They were great fun... of course the local campus rag ("we suck but we're the campus paper so we'll charge 25 cents anyway") gave them a bad review because they were, ahem, "hardcore". New Controlled Bleeding/Maybe Mental split lp from Placebo (these guys are really getting into the industrial music scene with the two Dry Lungs comps and this thing) is uneven. The CB side is very vocally oriented with chorus over synth-strings and ostinato bass. Ends with an industrial dance (!) cut. The Maybe Mental side is much stronger with the scratchy, grinding stuff that I like. If Lemos (Controlled Bleeding) is going to continue in this direction (mellowing out to ambient/ meditation music in his middle age) he should change the name to something more appropriate like, ummm, Controlled Wyndham Hill? :-) He's still quite a distance from wimpout new age music tho.
