wouldn't have a problem with it either...
But what Gonzi (and others) are talking about (and I think you know
this) is that all the top 40 people who heard "I want to xxxx you like
an animal.." on MTV will now associate meester Vibert with meester
Reznor (and this Perf.Drug song is worse than that one). Its a simple
case of guilty-by-association and tends to extract a little integrity
from our,...ahem, underexposed artists that we dig so deeply.
That's all.. no real mysteries here. Same syndrome as when meester
James was being marketed so heavily with this latest album... just kinda
freaks us Americans out a little to see rather silly-music-listening
masses buying this sort of tune-age. >>
ok. Meat Beat Manifesto, Pop Will Eat Itself, and others have all released
music on nothing. none of them have become millonaries here in the states.
the majority of the braindead Mtv fans are just too stupid to associate
"reznor" with "nothing" :-)
The only person to ever become popular on nothing was Marilyn Manson and that
was because Trent literally molded him into a Trent, only streching the
extremes.
