Zel has this sproadic way of getting pop-culture knowledge that I take for granted. Lately she's made a game of naming the bands that come up in my playlists. Just now a song from Pretty Hate Machine came on and the following exchange occurred:

Zel (out of nowhere): Trent Reznor!
Me: Yes.
Zel: He wants to fuck you like animals!
Me: Umm... yes.

what's even more shocking...

Hehe. I'll have you know that Pretty Hate Machine was one of the first albums that I bought of with my own money. I was at a tower records or something in sixth grade where "Head Like a Hole" was playing on the stereo and I knew it must be mine.

The stuff that came out after that never did much for me and in time even my old black Pretty Hate Machine cassette was taken out of the rotation. A few months ago it was added to the emusic.com collection and I downloaded it for nostalgia's sake but have since been falling back in love with it. It was wierd how many of the songs I still had memorized.

So yeah, I wouldn't call myself a big Trent Reznor fan or anything, but once upon a time I did listen to that album a lot.

hee hee!

a 6th grade Brad is a cute mental image! :D

Pretty Hate Machine keeps finding it's way in our cd decks too, though none of the other albums ever do.

When I first put on Head Like a Hole, Zel said "It sounds like gay disco music!"

She, of course, meant this strictly in a good way. =;)

Ever since then, though, I've been unable to listen to it without imagining a roomfull of sweaty men dancing with abandon Try it sometime, it's really quite hilarious. And appropriate when listening to "Kinda I want to".

You were in SIXTH GRADE when that came out?!?

I feel So. Fucking. Old.

(but I love that album)

Re: what's even more shocking...

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Yup. 1989. What if I pointed out that in three years that album will be twenty years old? Then we could all feel old!


...yikes. =:\

*giggles hysterically*

I can completely see that.

It's weird. While we're not the same, there are things about us that are incredibly similar.

Please. He wants to fuck you like AN animal, not multiple ones (Hmm, sheep gang-bangs. Not a good thought).

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm just quotin'.

Besides, the next time you listen to that song, just imagine the lyrics as "I want to fuck you like... animals" followed by a montage of barnyard noises over the industrial backbeat. =:)

[tikva.livejournal.com]

There is, in fact, a version like that; I think it's by Nine Inch Richards.

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Wow. I must needs find that.

Hmm,

[fiatlouis.livejournal.com]

Wasn't that already done as a cover by the Nine Inch Richards, with great lines like "I could really go for a cow in tight leather"?

Wow, if only Google and Amazon had existed when this came out, in 1995. I have spent years not knowing where this was, or how I could ever get my hands on it. . .

it was so nice when i finally figured out what all the music from that era has in common, since no one but me associates REM, depeche mode and the cure being in the same genre. the genre is, "music that was not on my mom's radio stations around 5th grade."

hehe, sometimes I actually miss you guys.
