Ephemeron

I saw Ministry in concert back in the early ’90s. The first band to open was Sepultura… they’re a Brazilian thrash metal band… and they were loud. Next was Helmet, and they were much louder than Sepultura. Ministry blew the other two bands away. They were by far the LOUDEST band I have ever experienced. It even gave me a retracted eardrum that still plagues me to this day.

Here’s a video from Ministry with Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy on vocals:

Colours
By Donovan

Yellow is the colour of my true love’s hair
In the mornin’, when we rise,
In the mornin’, when we rise,
That’s the time, that’s the time
I love the best

Blue is the colour of the sky
In the mornin’, when we rise
In the mornin’, when we rise
That’s the time, that’s the time
I love the best

Green is the colour of the sparklin’ corn
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise
That’s the time, that’s the time
I love the best

Mellow is the feelin’ that I get
When I see her, mm hmm
When I see her, uh huh
That’s the time, that’s the time
I love the best

Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin’, mm hmm
Without thinkin’, mm hmm
Of the time, of the time
When I’ve been loved

I heard a Jim Noir song in Little Big Planet (which rules btw) and thought I’d check out some of his other stuff. I like this song.
