Advantages: everything from music, vocals, lyrics, preformance Disadvantages: not one
So what are you doing when you hear deranged fucked up (excuse the language) lyrics mixed in with electronic sounds/music, vocals that sound terrifying but give you some sort of warmth and hope however also as if your in some sort of gory horror film, ahh yes that's right your listening to Skinny Puppy.
I find out about this band whilst watching the film "the doom generation" (great film by the way) apparently some members of skinny puppy had a minor role in it. When I herd they were industrial that was when I decided to check them out because I'm a huge fan of industrial music. For those of you that don't know what industrial music is let me run you though it:
INDSUTRIAL MUSIC:
Without going into a total essay, long story short, an industrial band normally is a band made up of the usual guitar, bass and drums but normally also ...
Advantages: Gavin Lee Disadvantages: Uninspired music and lyrics
Pastiche, the imitation of a literary or musical style for (generally) comic purposes, can be a wonderful thing. The songs of Tom Lehrer and the musical The Boyfriend spring to mind as great examples. Unfortunately, not all pastiche is good pastiche, and 'A Saint She Ain't' certainly ain't good pastiche. Written in a style reminiscent of film musicals of the 1940s and accompanied by piano (possibly two pianos, judging from the sound of the overture), the show features thirteen different songs which echo the list songs, novelty numbers and lovestruck duets remembered fondly from so many Hollywood singalongs. But it's not much fun, when it comes down to it.
Music is by Denis King, lyrics by Dick Vosburgh and the cast of eight features Barry Cryer and Gavin Lee (who went on to create the stage version of Bert in Mary Poppins ...
Advantages: Lasts ages. Disadvantages: Too expensive.
I am 23 and have suffered with hideous dark circles under my eyes for as long as I can remember! I have tried numerous lotions and potions to get rid of or conceal them and a friend recommended Touch Eclat a few years ago.
This product in legendary alongside the likes of Elizabeth Ardens 8 hour cream and has been around for many years. However, in my opinion this product doesn't deserve it's legendary status. You are paying for the pretty gold packaging and the brand name. I believe that the darker shade (II) is too dark and the lighter shade (I) is far too light! This product gives you the opposite effect of panda eyes! It gives you glaring white circles around your eyes! Because of its light reflecting properties when someone takes a photo of you all you see is these stupid white circles.... grrrr! You cpould say it does the job ...

Album Notes
Personnel: Chris Smither (vocals, guitar). After a long layoff, Smither returned to performing and recording in the mid-'80s, IT AIN'T EASY is an impressive document of re-entry. In re-establishing himself, Smither played it smart by doing what he does best--performing solo, with only his own deft country blues fingerpicking for accompaniment and only his husky, expressive voice to get the message across. Apparently, he hadn't been doing much writing in the preceding years, since this album consists chiefly of covers. Fortunately, Smither is every bit as gifted an interpreter as he is a songwriter, easily caressing the lyrics of the songs and wringing deep meaning from them. He pays tribute to his roots by damn near redefining tunes by Chuck Berry and Mississippi John Hurt and nods to his contemporaries with a devastating version of Randy Newman's "Guilty" and Danny O'Keefe's unjustly obscure political cautionary tale "So Long, Harry Truman."
