        Gummo is the *shiznit*, definitely everyone should see it.
        The music is indeed an example of soundtrack working with the movie,
though I wish they had picked different tracks to play during the movie.
That one Bethlehem (ecch) track got played three times (when they break
into the kid's grandma's house, when the kid is breaking glass to kill
cats, and when they're whipping the dead cat), and the Nifelheim and
Bathory et al. tracks weren't really featured.  oh well.  The soundtrack is
easily gettable, incidentally, if anyone out there wants it.  Even cdnow
has it.  
        My favorite part was the little bit with the film clips of the guy talking
about serving satan, the old skool 16th (?) century drawing of satan, and
that guy carving the word 'SLAYER' into his arm.  Too too too funny.
        But I guess this has nothing to do with IDM.  Forget the wendy carlos,
who's the Motorhead of IDM? ;)
