The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time – #91

Naked City, ‘Torture Garden’ (1990)

From Wikipedia

…Torture Garden is an album by John Zorn’s band Naked City featuring Yamatsuka Eye on vocals. The album is a compilation of the “hardcore miniatures” that were also released on Naked City and Grand Guignol. Unlike other Naked City albums, there are no breaks between the individual tracks, giving the impression that the album features only one long, uninterrupted piece…

The Allmusic review by Bradley Torreano awarded the album 4 stars stating “Songs blur together but never get boring, no lyrics are actually sung, and few songs last longer than a minute. It also never takes itself seriously, a nice relief from Zorn’s heavy-handed ambiient collaborations. This would make a great introduction to the noise/jazz efforts that this group of musicians pioneered in the early 1990s.”[1]…

Genre Jazzcore, Grindcore (whatever that is)

25 minutes of pure pain to listen to, but again, the no-skip-rule always applies.

No more automatic posting to Facebook

Got the following notice from dlvr.it – which I use to post to my personal Facebook-page

Hello,

Facebook recently made a number of updates to their platform aimed at improving their ecosystem and reducing misuse and spam. One of these changes includes eliminating the ability for third party apps (such as dlvr.it), to post to personal Facebook Profiles.

Effective August 1st, you will no longer be able to post to personal Facebook Profiles via dlvr.it.

dlvr.it will continue to support posting to Facebook Pages and Groups.

This update is part of a broader change that Facebook is making to enhance platform experience and prevent misuse of personal accounts.

We’re optimistic these changes will ultimately benefit Facebook users, even if there is some near-term pain.
