Lair of the Asp

Hey, well, I got a pair of new songs up, I like to think of them as the twin sistas mixes. There is A is for Asps(Sista Mix featuring Ride Flame) at soundclick.com and Blood Red Sista(featuring Ride Flame at garageband.com) .

I'm not sure why I keep putting so much stuff up on here about Robert Smith and the Cure, one might think I'm a huge fan, really I'm a small fan, but I do enjoy their work quite a bit, but not to any obsessive lenghths. With that said here's an interview with Blank and Jones talking about "A Forest" with Robert Smith. I'm sure it will do well in the clubs, as for is it as good as the original, nah...

But we're still very curious to find out what made you say yes, you know, because we wanted to reinterpret the song "A Forest" twenty years later. Robert Smith: Why I said yes? Piet Blank: Yes.

Well, it looks like Blutengel has a new album coming out, it's good to see that Chris Pohl is still at it and infecting the world with his music and attractive co-singers. I've seen live footage of a couple of their shows and shock is the effect they seem to be going for, but maybe I'm just too jaded these days but even with all the blood and psuedo-bondage antics I wasn't shocked or outraged in the least, but some of the songs are good and his singers are easy on the eyes.
