how cult leaders sing to what rejected the stalker manifesto as or of and by neurotic proclamation. jim jones before what stripped him from the bone that made up our true-love creation in the light of historical influence.
I always remember the day fondly that I saw Swans in SF at The Regency Ballroom. i was up really close to the band during the performance, and I felt my body, heart and soul forever drenched in the power and beauty of Swans, I met everybody in Swans they're all really nice on top of being super talented! I was wearing a bunny~hat and I remember when I met Michael Gira, he said: "oh hey it's Bunnyboy! Hahaahahaa! Pervert!" greatest moment of my life!
There has never been a time ( and still isn't) where pure genius music came alive like the period of the Swans, Foetus (scraping or not), The Young Gods, The Virgin Prunes, TLPD, The Sisters Of Mercy, The Fields Of The Nephilim, Death in June, Laibach, Dead Can Dance and many others!! Hell I need to go back in time! LOL
I JUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTT LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG , IT MOVES ME , MAKES ME VIBRATE WITH A HUGE ENERGY OF LIFE/ AND MEANING, WHICH COURSES THROUGH MY VIENZ ,,,,I HIGHLY RECOMEND IT KIDDIES , GO BUY THE ALBUM , INFACT THE WHOLE BACK CATALOGUE , NO REALLY ,,,,DO IT !!
@aeckstrand003 .. Not really a brag.. If you've gone to one of his shows (nowadays) chances are you've met him.. got an autograph or two and a photo.. He has signed my Consumer book.. Almost every CD I have of theirs including side projects.. Taken multiple photos with me and politely shot down my drunken question "you and Jarboe ever gonna make up?" Thats is one of the many reasons why Michael Gira is so great.
ONE OF MY FAV TRAX, AND GUESS WOT ...I'VE GOT TICKETS TO SEE THEM ON 28TH OCT AT CAMDEN U.K. THAT'LE BE THE 23 TIME I'VE BEEN TO SEE 'EM .......JARBOE PLUS GIRA = H E A V E N ....
I believed that I was the most fucking fantastic rock snob ever. I only discovered Swans today. I am a fraud. I am ashamed. I will now obsess over them.
great album! I picked it out of a used bin in 1996 and always assumed it was much older. I didn't realize it had been released as recent to my discovering and purchasing it, I thought it was BRILLIANT— i guess the previous owner didn't think so!

I've heard that Jarboe musically isn't in this place where Swans are. I always find her and Swans as a truly authentic, honest and uncompromising.
