Song of the Week: Joy to the World

No no, never fear, I'm not already getting into the holiday spirit... I happen to be referring to a song by Combichrist off their Joy of Gunz album. I always found it particularly interesting since the 'lyrics' are actually samples of an interview with the infamous Charles Manson. Manson and Family were convicted for the horrific and grisly Tate-Bianca murders in 1969. The song is sampled from an interview with Heidi Schulman from 1987. At first listen I didn't quite fully grasp who was speaking until the switch flicked and I realized whose words were echoing in my ears. The full interview is quite interesting since Manson shows an interesting range of varied emotions during it's course. It also features some interesting quotes again ranging from bone-chillingly cold...






....to downright fucking hilarious

In case wondering just what in the fuck he says there it's:
Do you feel blame? Are you mad? Uh, do you feel like wolf kabob Roth vantage? Gefrannis booj pooch boo jujube; bear-ramage. Jigiji geeji geeja geeble Google. Begep flagaggle vaggle veditch-waggle bagga?


Yup. Ol' Charlie said it best alright. Combichrist has a unique appreciation for murders and the macabre and they make an excellent pair. So Joy to the World!



And for those of you interested here is the full video interview with Charlie:
