This statement offends me more than anything Whirr has ever said.

SPACERITUAL, The Weakerthans is not shit, and furthermore is way way way fucking better than Godflesh.
You better hope that I am never Batman ever faced with the Joker's challenge, save John K. Samson from being blown up, or Justin Broadrick.
I'd, uh, let his world be lit only by fire. I wouldn't even try LOL
*Batman voice* I'M COMING JOHN. I STILL NEED THAT REUNION ALBUM
ANYWAY
I still really like Godflesh though

Left and Leaving is a great album but I kinda don't give a shit about the weakerthans apart from that.

Ah, you're one of those people.
Reconstruction Site and
Reunion Tour are actually better than
L&L. IMO.

I like Streetcleaner, but I think Pure may be my favorite record by Godflesh. Spite is even danceable.

Yupp, that's what I said! I'd say it again.
Wasn't even into the sauce that time.

I aspire to be Townes Van Zandt without the heroin.
... we are still talking about ageing aren't we?
Also this is my favorite part of the new Sun Kil Moon album:
Mark Kozelek wrote:
I went up to my room and I got a call from Justin
He was in San Francisco and Godflesh was playing
Caroline drove me halfway there where I met Tony
And we drove to the city and we parked out in front of the DNA
Justin and us, we had some laughs and we took photographs backstage
And our guts were protruding and all of them and we just kept laughing and laughing
and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
And when Godflesh took the stage, Tony and I, we stood there floored
Drum machines hammered and feedback blazed
For a moment, everybody grew silent
While Justin tuned his guitar; like a church, it got so quiet
Just for a minute, and then they all soared together
Like a car off a cliff, we crashed and burned over and over and again and again
They threw hard vicious guttural B-flats that shook their opponent
Like a tough Roberto "Hands of Stone" Durán in the seventh round
Davey Moore June 16, 1983
Godflesh ran that line like an early Mark “Gator” Rogowski
Justin lunged at the mic like a hungry great white
He was on fire, giving it everything he had and killing it that night!
Tearing out his prey and it came to a screeching halt
A relentless and beautiful voice, a 70 minute assault
And then he bowed down and he set his seven string electric guitar down
And screeched to holy hell and they disappeared and off went the crowd
Then we had pizza and I came back to my apartment in the city
Also Kozelek if you pronounce it german sounds like "Lick the vomit"

I like Mark Kozalek but he does pretty much just come up with a lead guitar part, play it for five minutes, and tell a story over it singing.
It is awesome. But it's also something my father does while washing dishes, more or less.

Your father has four arms? Are you a bug?

Okay, he's not playing guitar, but he's singing stories. In the manner of famed singer-songwriter, Mark Kozalek.
