THROBBING GRISTLE

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I whittled it down to 2 videos, but I had trouble deciding between David Wojnarowicz & Tommy Turner's "Where Evil Dwells",http://www.ubu.com/film/wojnarowicz.html , and Chris & Cosey's "European Rendez-Vous" http://www.ubu.com/film/cc_european.html . Mainly because the music in Evil is really amazing, but also because the murder the video was based on was so gruesome and thematically compelling. The idea that some kid murdered somebody because of the music he listened to is very relevant I would say. BUT Throbbing Gristle is a major influence, and personal favorite, of current lo-fi electronic music like Ariel Pink plus the imagery in the video is almost playful but I think I just like the colors so I will be going with a segment or representation of the Chris and Cosey video!
