For my taste, there's just not enough cursing in modern music. I don't know when this change happened. Those old Verde and Mozart operas were mostly just streams of obscenities shreiked over some pretty music. "You fucking cunt! You put poison in my fucking wine! You miserable bitch, I'm fucking dying now!" (That's why you really need to read the translations to fully appreciate the songs.) Somewhere along the way, we've become very conservative.

Anyway, I was really happy to discover the eponymous single Martha Wainwright's debut EP, Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole. Man, it is some sweet sweet cursing. And she has a real way with it. Some people curse well and some people don't. I think that I curse like a champ. I know my mother does. And Martha Wainwright does as well.

The thing is, though, it's actually a very pretty song, even without the sweet sweet curse words.
