MUSIC FROM SPACE: Marilyn Manson - DOPE HAT
Thursday, April 16, 2009
After his Clinton-era heyday, Marilyn Manson slipped into a rather sad, Alice Cooper-esque hasbeen-hood. He's become just another shock rocker boogieman from days gone by, and his following has dwindled to a small cluster of aging Hot Topic kids.
But once upon a time, Manson was cooking with some evil gas. Dope Hat, today's selection for Music From Space, plays like the ultimate Gen-X toddler nightmare. Manson stars as Willy Wonka, only more obviously sinister (if such a thing is even possible,) and he brings along sneering Oompa Loompas, Hoodo the Magician from Lidsville and everything else that made you want to hide your head under your Star Wars sheets when you were five. (Note that while we didn't catch anything too NSFW in here, it's possible some nudity or cursing slipped past us.)

And remember: the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise. Wise words then, wise words now.
