Gabriel: How is “Cas, I love your sweet ass” inappropriate?

Diamanda Galas, “Double Barrel Prayer” (1988)
Meant as a statement against sexual violence and a call for victims to take revenge on their perpetrators, the video for “Double Barrel Prayer” was banned by MTV, who labeled it as “the most offensive music video of the year”. Some of this “offensive” imagery includes Diamanda dancing with a pistol, close-ups of chained barking dogs, a shadowy male figure, distorted crowd footage, cartoonish facial expressions, and Diamanda writhing around in pools of blood.
Other media outlets criticized the song and its accompanying video for seemingly promoting gun violence. Diamanda, a sexual assault survivor who admittedly carries a .38 special whenever she leaves home, shrugged off these criticisms:
“I carry a gun because I believe we are not supposed to walk down the street as women being invisible, looking invisible…I have to protect myself from all this vermin on the street, and maybe they didn’t intend to be vermin and maybe they were mistreated, but I don’t have to do a whole psychological study on everyone who tries to make trouble for me on the street. I’m not a liberal and I’m not a therapist” (x)

Currently thinking about how Dominick Fernow once described treble as “head” sounds, and for this reason treble was incorporated into projects like Prurient, as the intention is to make people aware of their own headspace and create a sort of cerebral discomfort.
Meanwhile, I’m also thinking about how in a few interviews, Margaret Chardiet has expressed the intention of Pharmakon - both musically and performance-wise - to be “gut” music, as in the aim is for the listener/audience to feel a primal reaction to it.
I find it very interesting how two of noise’s most prominent musicians have two different methodologies for trying to invoke a sense of unease or hyperawareness through their work, yet the end results are surprisingly similar in that it’s conceptual and highly structured.
This sort of age-old struggle of head vs. gut or thoughts vs. instinct has been discussed by philosophers, theologians, and scientists for millennia now. I guess it makes sense that artists who craft extreme music would somewhat surreptitiously join in this discussion, too.
