Goblin Cock (4 in Pinback series)

Posted over 4 years ago
do you snort when you laugh? did you snort when, as a pimply kid, you laughed (or tried not to laugh) at the mere mention of penis (or vagina) in front of all your friends? i hope you've moved on from the shame of that. from the shame of pimples, i mean. and anyway, here is your adult validation.i give you mock metal group Goblin Cock, starring Rob Crow, whom you know as one-half of the darkish and broody Pinback. you might've seen them in past SXSW and CMJ fests thrashing it out all Sepultura like, or Metallica circa Ride the Lightning / ...And Justice for All. the cover art of their first and only album so far, 2005's Bagged and Boarded, is literally a goblin cock.meet the makers. Lord Phallus is Rob Crow on lead vocals and guitar. Larben The Druid is Lara Benscher on bg vocals and guitar. Bane Ass-Pounder is Dave Drusky on guitar. King Sith is Sam Mura on bass. Loki Sinjuggler is Adam Ekroth on keyboards. Braindeath is Anthony Fusaro on drums.musically, Goblin Cock are anything but mockable. Rob Crow's Spinal Tap exercise a proper heavy metal discipline and also retain the guitar droning, prog-rocker bajo, and ambient chick vocals from since his heavy-on-Slint Heavy Vegetable days. a track to check out, one i am most fond of, is Kegrah the Dragon Killer; this Metallica dead wringer (the melody anyway, especially the intro) is another silly Winky Dinky Donkey.::. i dedicate this post to mogger Marigold.

  3. soulrocket says in spain we swear in a natural way and we dont feel guilty about it. also i grew up in the basque country where 3 out of 4 words are swearwords ive got a german friend that when shes really angry swears in spanish because it comes more natural and there is a wide spectrum of choices.

  5. Lizziegreeneyes says As I sit here typing with half a Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpet hanging out my mouth, I just have to first quote *Marigold*.... _*"You rock! Like Goblin Cock."*_ & extend that statement to the both of you *(M & P)*- thanks for the laughs this morning - only thing I'm worried about is me choking on said Krimpet... but I will try my best not to do so ;)

  11. scotfree says speechless I am. I think it's taken this long for my brain to stop laughing. This is sort of punk Residents. Multi layerd simplicity laced with some kind of veiled relevancy - or purely a pun. You can't tell, can you?? Love it!

  12. poebegone says ZZTodd: thanks, i like that you like. leftoverking: thanks, snorter freak. (kidding!) most interesting avatar, jeff. soulrocket: i grew up listening to my father say hijo de puta, cabron, and puñeta without really meaning to cuss. it is interesting how some usage have variated over time. Wikipedia got this one right: "In the Philippines, coño (Tagalog: konyo) refers to a wealthy Anglophone person raised and/or living in a gated community, though the term originally referred to insular Spaniards, regardless of socioeconomic status."

  13. poebegone says Marigold: yeah, you, silly. when i started my Pinback extended family series, you said not to forget Goblin Cock; and even if you hadn't, i am glad to make some noise for you. =p love Stumped. nah, i didn't forget it (see photo on post) but my entire office is on to me because we've been overusing our expensive broadband lately - shh, i am guilty as charged. so i am laying low with the heavy data up/download for a while, and keeping posts, uhrm, minimalistic. Lizzie: i do not know what a Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpet is, but if they look anything like crumpets or Twinkies, them hanging out your mouth is as funny as "You rock! Like Goblin Cock." (Mike, you will never live that line down.) speaking of which, in Vegas last year, a signage that read Deep Fried Twinkies stopped me dead at my tracks. seriously? is that any good? does it work the same way as twice-baked four-cheese pizza with cheese toppings? i should've come in and tried it.

  14. poebegone says Color me Mary: aha, Miss Mary, meet Mister Leftoverking. (scroll two comments up.) so how's college going? wouldriotforless: good one. there should be a Dinks vs Jawas (or Ewoks) mashup at some point. darmuzz: thanks, that ought to clear things up with Lizzie and her Krimpet. what the f is a krimpet? alright, i can't stand it, i will go Google now... etcvisitor: um. (thanks for stopping by.) scotfree: The Residents! class act. i don't know if you know that you have some of the most well-put comments on mog. "Multi layerd simplicity laced with some kind of veiled relevancy - or purely a pun." that statement makes me feel as small as a krimpet - sorry, enough krimpets.

  16. soulrocket says thats funny, i didnt know we were called coños in phillippines. not that im surprised. coño means cunt, and its another of those swearwords we say "without really meaning to cuss". this is from the dubbed version of "south park" ~IoeosmvjqFU.mp3~

  17. poebegone says daniel, that is so funny. i wasn't aware there was such a South Park version but it makes complete sense, i love it. here are examples of the modern day usage of coño among Filipinos, which you'll find hilarious given the true meaning of the word: -Cheerleaders prefer to hang with coño frat boys more than grungy artist types. -He speaks with the coño English he picked up from his fancy private school. mike, this apparently is a Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpet:

  18. soulrocket says hahahahahaahhhh that was priceless, i need to inform everybody here about that. we actualy use coñazo (big cunt) to define something or someone annoying. mostly everything gets dubbed here, which would be one of the main reasons spaniards sucked at other languages for so long. i got this week "gagaboy" and "impossible kid" (with eddie ricard). those may be the 2 main movie choices for a boring sunday.

  19. poebegone says LOL on all the dubbing there. i don't know Impossible Kid but i know Gagamboy - it is Pinoy Spider-Man. (Pinoy is a colloquial word for Filipino.) the guy who plays Gagamboy has got good comedic timing, from how i've seen him on TV. Danny, have a fun sunday, i am off to practice using coñazo now. (;
