And I mean stab in the sense of stabbing the heart of Country music with a rusty, poisoned knife. Luckily for us, she does't know how to wield a metaphorical knife and mainly ends up cutting herself. At least if album sales are to be used as a metric of her skills with said metaphorical knife, which is of course an odd thing to assume and as such I think this metaphorical train of likenesses is pretty much doomed.

What I was trying to say is that Jessica Simpsons' Country-album sucks and thank God, Satan or Cthulhu for its…

Please, whenever you listen to low-down miserable country, please tag individual tracks, artists and albums with the tag god-damned country in the hopes of building a great collection of streamable miserable country for when you're feeling desperate and are away from your music collection… hard to NOT feel desperate when your albums are away from you, eh?

I've been listening to it all morning… good stuff so far. But there could be more, right?

I really dig Nick Cave as a singer, musician and above all, lyricist. That's why I was quite interested in what his book And The Ass Saw The Angel would be like. I was not to be disappointed: it was a sick fucking book.

If there is a book that well and truly represent everything I dig about god-damned country-music, it is this book. It's got everything good miserable Country music has: bible thumpin' zealous christian fanatics and preachermen, righteousness, downfall, divine wrath, insanity, alcoholism, degenerate and bloodthirsty dogs, drugs, hatred, murder, violence, God, Satan, decay, torment, pain, bloodshed,…

Songs Of Desperation
Rating: *****

There's dark music, then there's twisted music, and then there's also oppressive music. Now, I've been listening to stuff like Black Metal, Death Metal, Funeral Doom, Dark Ambient and Noise for years. Some of that stuff's rather dark and twisted, even oppressive. But not like Those Poor Bastards. Not at all.

"Gothic Country", you say? I don't know about that, although I guess it fits. It's dark, oh fucking YES!, and there is a little hint of a perverse romanticism in here as well, I'd say. And the Country-bit is undeniable.

If you've read…

Trans Cunt Whip
Rating: **

Q: What's worse than making a bad album?
A: Making an album that even after tens of listenings hasn't made any sort of impression.

That's "Trans Cunt Whip" by the German Tsatthoggua in short for you. Take one part of Swedish Black Metal a'la Marduk and one part of the over-the-top blasphemous Black Metal of Impaled Nazarene, add some silly try-hard provocation in the form of drug-worship and rather tiresome S/M-stuff, and you've got a good idea of what Tsatthoggua sound like.

In fact, the best thing about the band is probably their Lovecraft-inspired…

At Folsom Prison
Rating: *****

Rarely is a live album a good first album to buy from any artist. At Folsom Prison by the legendary Johnny Cash is one such rare case: it was my first album by the Man in Black, and from the first tones (and the trademark "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash") of Folsom Prison Blues, this is a nigh-on perfect album and a prime example of how live-albums should be done: crystal-clear sound, awesome selection of songs, stellar performance, and stage banter that doesn't feel forced or alternatively overtly boasting; genuine is the word. Johnny Cash and…
