If you enjoy Marilyn Manson’s art check out this brand new interview, it is very interesting.
PART I
*Brian says he IS Marilyn Manson and expresses his appreciation for Twiggy.
*He looks back at his thoughts of suicide after his marriage ended with Dita Von Teese as COWARDICE.
*Says he LIVES in a PRISON that he put himself in.
*”If you say you want to die with me, I will kill you first because I don’t trust you, but this is not metaphorical it is honest.”
PART II
*Record company thought “Crazy as a Swastika” was a too crazy title, so he changed the title to “Crazy as a $” because money is fascist – his choices are artistic and the record company’s actions were financial.
*Inspired by Bowie, Prince, Madonna, Alice Cooper… he encourages new bands to RE-CREATE not COPY.
*He is pissed that his CD is being sold in a store that sells firearms but yet his music has to be censored – so he says FUCK as many times as possible! *He wrote a lot of the songs for SHOCK FACTOR.
*”People INVENT problems by CENSORING.”
*He got blamed for another school shooting – he says he does not advocate it, but he gets blamed for it – believes he deserves a Grammy or medallion for this!
PART III
*Wrote “We’re From America” on the day he voted for President.
*Does NOT advocate marriage – he wanted to vote for gay marriage so they can suffer like he did.
*Voted DRUNK.
*He will open the tour with “Four Rusted Horses” because he thinks it represents the record.
*Explains the meaning and importance of the number “15″ to him.
PART IV
*He is married to what he does and that includes Twiggy!
*”Role models are mannequins, I’m a role villian.”
*They are victims and does not want to be victimized – he makes music for victims.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY – “Stay with your best friend, only drink and do drugs when you’re in a good mood, find a manager that only keeps you in a cage for a certain number of times, grow your eyebrows back, don’t put your penis in anthills, dirt, or girls that remind you of the two, try and make music your salvation.”

PJ Harvey and John Parish ROCKED the House of Blues in Boston last night. The show is AMAZING and a MUST-SEE. They perform *only* songs from their album together. PJ looked stunning in a black silk dress. The performance was passionate and unique! Here are my photos from the night–

After hearing the last Manson album I was a little weary as to what he’d be putting out next. Marilyn Manson is an artist that I ADORE – the controversy, the voice, the image, the fashion, the PERFORMANCE. After hearing a few of the tracks off of his upcoming release, “The High End of the Low” I have zero doubts that he is OVER as a musician.
The tracks are addictive and amazing, the artist that I’ve been dying to hear! On this release we get dramatic confessionals “Four Rusted Horses”, anti-establishment anthems “Arma-goddamn-motherfuckin-geddon” and a single that is to be remembered “We’re From America.”
Could it be the additional genius of Twiggy, co-author of “Antichrist Superstar” Manson’s most memorable album to date? Whatever it is, it’s WORKING!!
I am definitely looking forward to see and hear what Brian Warner has been creating in his Hollywood lair. He is the epitome of ARTIST. www.marilynmanson.com
I’m really liking the look he has created for the album – the glowstick goth atmosphere and strange expression. Manson NEVER looks the same! What will the music video(s) look like? A perfect hire for Manson would be Justin Coloma, who is creating and keeping the gothic mythology alive through film as well.
Tori will be performing at the SXSW Festival tonight in Austin, TX. You can check the Toriphorums for the setlist and gossip as it happens tonight!
Here’s a short interview she did this afternoon with LP33 – she reveals to us that she will be touring this year starting in July and ending around Christmastime! She looks beautiful and healthy! I LOVE IT ALL!
You can also hear 3 new tracks for Tori’s upcoming LP, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, at the Toriphorums on yessaid.com!

Trent Reznor, pioneer rock genius behind Nine Inch Nails is back in the studio/out of the studio with NIN *and*Jane’s Addiction! After a short break from the first leg of his world tour, he’s been posting random pictures for a week now on his website, nin.com. Trent’s having fun subversively again, dropping hints as the fans speculate, and boy do they speculate! Perhaps he’s producing the new Jane’s Addiction album? Perhaps Jane’s will double headline on NIN’s upcoming tour, or maybe even some of Jane’s band members will be joining NIN on a new record!… Year Zero, pt 2!?
Whatever he’s up to – does he ever rest?
Here’s my cap of the NIN Winter 2009 Photoblog–

DAVE just said he’s working on a new song called SKORM (Squirm)!
He also tweeted his thoughts on the Michael Phelps scandal, “there are terrible sad hopelesss violent things happening in the world and we’re worrying about michael Phelps doing a bong hit. He won a trunk load of gold and glory for working tirelessly at something….he deserves some recreational time.”
Kellogg’s let PHELPS go today!
UPDATE – Phelps has now been suspended for 3 months from USA Swimming! Bummer!
Other random musings–

TORI AMOS has been added to a list of performers scheduled for the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival 2009. Apparently, there are three components to the festival: one which focuses on music, one which focuses on film, and one which focuses on interactive entertainment. The event takes place in Austin, TX, and Tori is scheduled to appear at La Zona Rosa on March 19.
You can find more discussion about this new show here.
I wonder what surprises are in store!
Don’t get too excited though, the prices start at $550…
