Mr. Bungle - None Of Them Knew They Were Robots
Words:
Mendel's machines replicate in the night
In the black iron prison of St. Augustine's light
He's paying the bills and they're doing him proud
They can float their burnt offerings on assembler clouds
With omega point in the sight
The new Franklin's fly their kites
And the post modern empire is ended tonight
From history
The flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud
Reductionism and the beast
Automatons gather all the pieces
So the world may be increased
In simulation jubilation
For the deceased...
Spray-on clothes and diamond jaws
Wrinkles smoothed by nanoclaws
With my machines I can dispatch you
From this world without a trace
Our nostalgia ghosts are ready to take your place
Content-shifting shopping malls
Gasoline trees and walk-through walls
None of them knew...
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As I watch the dead rise up out of the earth
Try to hide from the lies as they all come true
Deus absconditus
Deus nullus deus nisi deus
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As the fenris wolf slowly bites through his chain
Try to hide the myth as it becomes a man
None of them knew they were robots
Buying an X or an O In state craft tic tac toe
Cats game for Joe blo
Post industrial bliss
A binary hug or kiss
Can be wrung from utility mist
They stole the great arcanum
The secret fire
Moloch found his gold
For the new empire
Once again
The necrophage becomes saint
Lindy hop around the truth
Jump back wolf pack attack
Slap back white shark attack
Swingin' up there in the noose
Jump back wolf pack attack
Slap back white shark attack
Phased array diffraction nets
From full-wall paint-on TV sets
Migratory home sublets
And time shared diamond fiber sets
Recombinant logos keys
Bitic Qabalistic trees
I feel the grey goo boiling my blood
As leviathan and his bugs freeze the sea
Try to save the world by immolating myself
From history The flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud
The resurrection of the deceased
Automotons gather all the pieces
So the world may be increased
In simulation jubilation
For the builders
Of the body of the beast

The Devil's Blood - The Heavens Cry Out For The Devil's Blood
If the moon is high and deathly.
If the hare hunts with the dogs.
When the trees turn out to strangle.
We shall write your name with blood.

Julio Iglesias songs used to 'torture' prisoners in Pinochet regime
Music played at high volume during torture sessions was part of the psychological suffering endured by some of his thousands of political opponents who were detained when Pinochet seized power in 1973.
According to former prisoners, Harrison's My Sweet Lord, the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's film A Clockwork Orange and songs by Spanish crooner Iglesias were played for days at a time.
Dr Katia Chornik, a researcher from the University of Manchester, has investigated the use of music in Pinochet's notorious torture houses, concentration camps and prisons.
One former prisoner told how her jailers would sing the Italian pop hit Gigi l'Amoroso especially for her as they were taking her to the interrogation room, and carry on whilst they were torturing her with the recording on in the background.

British company turns the ashes of dead people into vinyl records
Music buffs can now feel the rhythm in both life and death — by getting their cremated ashes turned into vinyl records.
British firm And Vinyly is pressing up the macabre custom-made discs as a bizarre memento for the dearly departed's friends and family.
Boss Jason Leach says anything can be added to the track, which lasts for 12 minutes on each side.
He revealed some customers choose to fill it with laughter, others wants songs with puns in the title, while a few opt for no song at all.
The basic package of 30 discs costs $3,000. But he can also plan an entire funeral around the death song for $15,000.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
