Kill The Radio Star

Ordinarily, I would be pissed off right now. Someone sent a comment on here that was probably some attempt at “viral marketing,” aka “posting crap in people’s blogs so as to make money for your business and get some press.” I should also be pissed that said comment was made by someone from a record label that specializes in lullaby music for babies. There’s nothing quite so gross as when people write songs dedicated to their children (like the puketacular “Butterfly Kisses”), particularly when said artist used to rock.

So, why am I feeling amused, rather than pissed?

Because this tiny record label has put out lullaby versions of songs by Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Bjork, in additional to the done-to-death Beatles. OK, so “Prison Sex” isn’t on the Tool album, but still. The sheer WTF joy of a Tool lullaby album gets the thumbs-up anyway, and the lullaby version of NIN’s “Piggy” is actually pretty good. There’s also a Metallica album and, no, the irony of it containing “Enter Sandman” is not lost on me.

Now, if we could just get them to add “Rape Me” to the Nirvana album.
