Ow That’s What I Call Music
It was revealed this week that the US “interrogators” at Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib had a special playlist they played on repeat at maximum volume to torture the inmates called ‘Ow That’s What I Call Music’. I may have pursued my Intelligence degree further if I knew I could make playlists and express myself creatively. The torture playlist is below.
Deicide – ‘Fuck Your God’
Drowning Pool – ‘Bodies’
Christina Aguilera – ‘Dirrrty’
Nine Inch Nails – ‘Somewhat Damaged’
Marilyn Manson – ‘The Beautiful People’
Britney Spears – ‘…Baby One More Time’
Barney And Friends – ‘I Love You Song’
Queen – ‘We Are The Champions’
The Meow Mix Theme
Album of The Week
Actor -ST Vincent (2009)
A former member of Sufjan Steven’s band Annie Clark’s second album has a similar mystical and theatrical quality to it. She watched early 30’s and 40’s Disney movies on mute and tried to write songs to correspond with what she was seeing on screen. The effect is each song feeling like a song trying to capture a scene. She completely changed the album just before release largely altering all the string and wind instruments in a move she says saved the album. It’s hard to know how much she improved it with that move but the end result is certainly worth a listen.
“See, I’ll trade in my plot of land
For a plane to anywhere”

I’m keeping my eye on the exit sign, steady now”

Its only darkness”

Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks”

“I’m a fool, and he loves it
He knows he’s got me wrapped around his fingers with a glance”

“Harder days coming maybe, I don’t mind
Sounds kind of dumb when I say it, but it’s true
I would do anything for you”
