I was thinking about putting together an S&M compliation tape.
I thought of songs that are expicitly about S&M practices (“Venus in Furs” “Wash it All Off”) songs that might as well be (“Some Kind of Love”, “I Wanna be Your Dog”), songs that just have an appropriate air of erotic menace (most of NIN and recent Leonard Cohen.)
And of course, Tom Leher’s “Masochism Tango”.
Any other thoughts?
(other than Devo :))
Thanks.

Heck, most of The Stooges’s catalog.
There’s a (German?) band called Die Form that pretty much specializes in S&M-themed music. What I’ve heard of their work failed to impress me, but they may have gotten better…
