マンソンのアブサン、Mansintheが、サンフランシスコで開催されたリキュールの品評会で、見事、金賞を受賞しました。
「うげー、俺たちって実は食通じゃないらしいぜ」と、先日、やれ素人だ下水レベルだととこき下ろした、「権威ある」グルメサイトのライターさんが憤慨しています。なお、このアブサンの美味は、先日、マンソンのバックステージに遊びに来た某ギャラガー兄弟が、いい気分で酔っ払って暴れた事でも明らかです。
Does This Mean We’re Not Food Snobs? I’ve just been told by people in the know that Mansinthe, the Marilyn Manson absinthe from Switzerland, has won a gold medal at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition, coming as a complete surprise to the unofficially deputized Epi-Log Absinthe Taste-Testers who tried it a few weeks ago and were less impressed.

Ashes Divideのビリーのインタビューです。このアルバムの構想は2004年から始まり、ダニー・ロウナーにアイディアをサポートしてもらったそうです。また、APCについて、「あれは完璧に、メイナードとのフィフティ・フィフティの共同作業だった」と回想しています。
I wouldn’t say that though, I think that’s always been a misconception. I mean Maynard had a lot more to do with it than that opinion would state. We were definitely collaborating on it. I came in with this body of work for Mer De Noms that was pretty complete, I mean, things were still underway when he was there, but he was a huge contributor. To me it was 50/50 – I wrote the music and he wrote the words and most of the melodies. The more I’m doing now – and I wouldn’t even say this before but I have a more solidified opinion now in doing everything myself – that there was certainly… I mean I don’t know, it’s funny that he didn’t get as much credit. It’s almost like people are rooting for me ‘cause I’m the underdog in a way. And Maynard went out of his way, at least on the first record, to give me as much credit for things as possible, and then I think it kind of ran away from him and that people started running with that a little bit too far. But to be honest, and set the record straight, I think Maynard had a lot more to do with it than people give him credit for.

Ghostsのレビューです。「彼は子供っぽい欲求不満の爆発よりも、上品な大人の表現を身につけたようだ」言いたい事は判りますが、あんまりです。
The release of Year Zero last year saw an invigorated Reznor, revisiting his hooky, noisy past while pushing forward into new areas of socio-political expression. Yet, whereas that album showcased new lyrical and thematic vistas, it was still tied in with the anger and melancholy of old. On Ghosts, Reznor has found a style which moves beyond childish frustration, towards a strident, confident, and graceful experimentation.

Hotlineより。ソウル・ウィリアムズさんが結婚したそうです。おめでとうございます。
ソウルさんのインタビューです。
How has the experience of asking people to pay what they wanted to for the record been? Do you think it has been a success?
Definitely. It’s really the biggest surprise of the whole experience. While we were recording it, Trent was saying, ‘I feel like we should do something that speaks to our times. Like give it away for free or something.’ Which is, of course, related to the way Radiohead did it and tons of bands did in the past. But we had a certain buzz and momentum that we knew was going to give it a certain projection into a lot of people’s headphones and hearts and minds.

こちらもソウル・ウィリアムズの記事です。NiggyTardustの実物をリリースする計画もあるそうです。そりゃそうだろう、ゴーストとニギーのあの差ではなあ。
Williams is also gearing up for a physical release of Niggy-Tardust! on the Fader label. It will contain about seven new songs, which he contends will up the ante on an already fairly explosive work. The release should be available by late spring or early summer. “I don’t know if I did it on purpose, but the more I listen to them, the more I realize that I saved the most hardcore, the most dance-y, and thought-provoking tracks for the physical release,” he says.

ところで、つい先日まで、YZのARGの「レジスタンス・ゲーム」に興じていた皆さんは、昨今のニュースを見て何を思うのでしょうか。みんな大統領選しか興味がないのかな。きっと人命よりも鯨さんの方が心配なのでしょうね。
