Last night, in case you missed it, was the MTV Video Music Awards. My Facebook feed has been flooded all day with rapturous accounts from myriad media outlets about the antics therefrom, largely centered around the usual suspects like Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalia, Nicki Minaj, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Sam Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Jay-Z and -- oh wait for it, won't you? -- Beyonce.
If, like me, you're left wanting something more from your music, herewith a vindictive live reading of "Black Hole Man," a new/as-yet-unreleased track by SWANS. I saw them perform this a couple of months back at the Bowery Ballroom, and it was transcendent, engulfing and cathartic.
Like much of the band's work, there is a lengthy passage of explosive preamble...but they really get cooking at around 08:32. Enjoy.
