Have I mentioned lately that I love Skinny Puppy?

I mean, they are one of my favourite bands and have been since I was a wee thing of 13. Very psyched to see them play here on the 18th.

But it's always nice when one's musical tastes and political sensibilities dovetail. You might have heard that after the U.S. government used Puppy's music for torture at Guantanamo Bay, the band sent the Department of Defence an invoice of $666,000 for the use of its music.

Here's an interview with cEvin Key about it.

So they DID send an invoice? I'd previously read that they'd used it as album art or something but not actually sent it.

It sounds like they actually sent it. It's definitely not the art on the latest album.

One of my former co-workers e-mailed me this morning to tell me about it. He was like, "I thought of you."

...just brutal. And not in the good, sonically challenging sense of the word.

"... just brutal."
Wait, you're not talking about my website design "skilz", are you?

Oh, have you seen mine lately?
