I love
Big Black. I've loved Big Black ever since the first time I put
Atomizer on my record player, which was sometime in the late 80s. In fact, I still have that same LP (though have a new record player with which to play it) and it's just as bad ass. A friend from college got a
Songs About Fucking tattoo and I used to quietly snicker about it, but in retrospect of all the band tattoos that people got, a Big Black one isn't a bad one to have ended up with. I was bummed when they broke up but then we never would have gotten Rapeman or Shellac so it all worked out in the end.
Not too long ago I picked up
Rich Man's Eight Track just to have all those songs together in one place. It includes one song, which I hadn't heard in years and years, and is now totally burned into my head and on massive repeat on my iPod. That song, is 'Heart Beat' and it's provided here for your listening enjoyment.
