our interests in death, force and domination can change the way we think.
make us seek out new forms of "entertainment." ever been in a slaughterhouse?
Well, I don't know why we come here cDc #84: The song "Cables" -- was there any specific incident that inspired that? Steve Albini: There are these guys that I used to know in [Hellgate] high school, in Montana -- they just really got off on going to the slaughterhouse for entertainment. Just go to the slaughterhouse and watch the cows get killed. That was like TV for them. It was that or go home in the trailer park and get drunk. Sniff glue. There was nothing else to do. One time I remember specifically this guy telling me about this guy who let him drag a cow into the stall. The way they do it is pretty cool. They take a pressurized gun and drive a bolt through the snout of a cow, and they clip a cable to either side of the bolt. And then there's this winch that hauls the cow into the stall, and then there's a compression hammer that crushes the cow's skull. This guy thought this was just about the coolest process -- all this machinery and technology. It's just another example of what people do for fun. |
