268. Rapeman Scans

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-17 20:28:57

Still am not sure what the story is behind that one.

Maybe they're named after the band? But the band is of course also called Rapeman, but I think that might just be because Steve Albini is a massive douche.

Odradek · 2016-06-17 20:30:24

All I know is there's an animeman who looks like him

Klinotaxis · 2016-06-17 20:30:39

I was assuming it was named after the comic

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-17 20:31:01

there's a comic called...?

you know what

I'd rather live my life in ignorance.

Klinotaxis · 2016-06-17 20:32:54

Fair

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-06-17 20:33:54

Yeah, the name of the band came from Albini reading that particular manga and going, "...so, this exists."

Salix Babylonika · 2016-06-17 20:35:15

honestly the only Albini band name that doesn't make me internally wince a little is "Shellac", because shellac is a cool word.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-06-17 21:41:38

I always got the impression that Big Black was referring to death, which is at least appropriate.

Mandelbrot · 2016-06-17 22:17:02

"Big Black" weirds me out because of the implied third word

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-06-17 22:22:12

Yeah, I get the feeling that's what Jane was referring to, but I'm not sure that's the (sole) intent.

Obā-san · 2016-06-17 22:48:39

you see, the idea of a third implied word never crossed my mind until y'all brought it up

the thing is that you can put almost anything there and it's uncomfortable.

"Big Black Croissant" for instance. That just sounds unpleasant to eat. Croissants are supposed to be a golden brown color.

Obā-san · 2016-06-18 06:38:24

i always thought that the idea behind the name was kinda "it instantly conjures up a mental image of something dreadful that you cant quite place"

Crystal · 2016-06-18 06:39:15

Um actually croissants are inherently terrible.

What if it was, like, a dark chocolate croissant?

Tre · 2016-06-18 06:43:21

> Big Black

maybe that would work but then why would you not just call it that

Crystal · 2016-06-18 06:48:50

Exactly.

That or the void. Death as the Big Black.
