Which takes the idea of corporations as authors and music as a work for hire to a new level. Well, not entirely; apparently, one of the biggest pop groups in Thailand a few years ago was an enterprise owned and operated by PepsiCo., with musicians, songwriters and personnel hired by corporate managers, and then there was the extended mix of that Coca-Cola jingle which was in the charts in the 1990s. Or perhaps it's more like sponsorship; the track has no references to the brand or lingerie (though could perhaps be a suitable soundtrack to BDSM games whilst wearing such), and sounds much like the usual sort of hard-edged electrohouse you'd hear in Prahran or Hoxton or wherever the beautiful people congregate in their punk-themed designer clothes.
mrs brian warner. i hate that guy.
Agreed; he seems to give off a viscerally repulsive vibe, like some unpleasant disease one might catch in the toilet cubicles at a goth club. It's like all the meticulous make-up and Vivienne Westwood suits and lofty Weimar-cabaret concepts ("ooh, look at me, I'm an intellectual!") cannot mask the miasma of festering rancidity that emanates from every pore of Marilyn Manson, persona and concept.
If you can get it to work (it's rather pedantic about wanting netscape 4.7.x or IE) the video is here:
