Any good? I could’ve seen her on Halloween, but I don’t “celebrate” that holiday anymore.

I don’t understand.
Your decision not to celebrate Halloween makes you boycott any events that fall on that date? Seems to me that’s giving it a lot more importance than most people give it. Or was it a special Halloween-themed show or something?
Halloween, Gunnar, was on Saturday. Saturday is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that he doesn’t work, he doesn’t drive a car, he doesn’t fucking ride in a car, he doesn’t handle money, he don’t turn on the oven, and he sure as shit don’t fucking celebrate Halloween!
Shomer shabbos!
Shomer fucking shabbos!
Gunnar, you’re out of your element!
he don’t turn on the oven
You’re supposed to put a winking emoticon here, I believe.
Shut the fuck up, Gunnar.

Yes. There’s not too much of the experimentalism of her first two albums left. It’s almost all straightforward, albeit odd, pop.

It’s the only holiday I celebrate…
Can’t believe nobody’s dropped the “Everyday is Halloween” reference yet.
Doh.
Just found an overpriced but still highly enjoyable copy of the “Holy Mountain” soundtrack, happily mis-filed in my local store’s kinda weak ‘electronic’ section.
It’s worth it just for the liner notes alone; I’m always a sucker for stories of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s visionary fanaticism and his honest belief that his movies were going to ‘change the course of humanity.’
Was also fun to read that primary musical collaborator Don Cherry lived in an apartment where everything was designed to match the ‘patchwork’ look of his clothing. “We shall never see his like again…”
The music is of course as ‘out there’ as you could expect with these guys at the helm.

This time it was just a 3-album set, but I bought another small Alice Cooper box. This one from the 80’s/early 90’s buttrock era.
TRASH
HEY STOOPID
LAST TEMPTATION OF ALICE
I’ve not listened to “Temptation” yet, but “Hey Stoopid” has some good tracks on it. I was honestly expecting that one to be the worst. The cover art is the absolute worst and I’ve never been a big fan of the “hits” from that album (“Feed My Frankenstein”, “Hey Stoopid”). “Trash” of course, has “Poison” on it, which is kind of worth the price of the album alone.
Gonna put on “Last Temptation” for my morning commute today.
Just started on Alice Cooper’s “Last Temptation”.
Another terrible example of 90’s collage art for the cover.
But this is actually a really solid album. I’m digging the guitar sound. A lot of this reminds me of the late 80’s/ early 90’s Iggy Pop sound.
This one’s for Gunnar:

That one’s gotta hurt.

That cover’s by Dave McKean - he pretty much invented that style as a comic book cover artist. Everything else from the '90s that looks like that was swiped from his work on Sandman, Hellblazer, etc.
Note also that the album was conceptualized by Alice and Neil Gaiman. They put out a comic series based on it with great art by Michael Zulli (some of which appears on the inner sleeve).

Loved Mr McKean’s covers for Sandman and Hellblazer! He did a nice cover for Testament as well, i think it was “Low”.
