Comment:

By Allan MacInnis (Vancouver)

Diamanda sings an awful lot about murdering people on this album. Men, actually; in "Do you take this man," she seems to be murdering her husband, while justifying the action to him. "Baby's Insane" adopts a bit more distance but still suggests that one should hide the knives. On the title track, she appears to adopt the voices of three murderous hillbillies or such discussing what they should do with a male victim they're playing with -- it's an odd mix of Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, and Russ Meyer, or at least that's where I go with it -- FASTER, PUSSYCAT, EVISCERATE, EVISCERATE or such. I think part of why I am amused by it is that it gives me a nice political balancing point for all those Nick Cave/ Birthday Party songs I've heard about men murdering women; it is nice to know, in an odd way, that there are women out there (okay, well, one woman, really) who are equally as scary in their own sexuality, and willing to turn the tables. In fact, it troubles me a bit, because as Ms. D shrieks and gibbers and brandishes her weapon, I'm forced to admit that it all kinda turns me on. Yes: Diamanda sings about cutting up men with her knife -- the knife is a recurrent motif on this disc -- and it makes me wanna send her fan mail, thinkin' maybe I might get to meet her someday. This scares me about myself, but it makes the album a pretty interesting place to spend time. She seems to have a pretty good sense of humour about it all, too -- dig the cover pics. I think she and Nick should do an album together, where they sing about how they're gonna murder each other. Or everyone else. Or something. A homicidal battle of the sexes. Wouldn't that be fun?
