They say hell's not hot, but it can't be much colder than the Pro-Tooled purgatory encapsulated within Marilyn Manson's Eat Me, Drink Me. Eleven tracks of what Manson has repeatedly claimed to be his "most personal work," the album is a stunningly lackluster, impersonal anti-work, even more so than the Weimar-inspired sex and art anthems that metastasized to form the malignant The Golden Age of Grotesque (2003). To carry that awkward metaphor one step further, Eat Me, Drink Me could be the most benign music recorded since the Carpenters released a Christmas album in '78.
The problem is one of authenticity. Throughout his career, Manson has been appropriating the work and sounds of others, reconfiguring them through his glam-choked goth filter of taboo-baiting and self-mythification: Alice Cooper served as the stencil for the early albums, Broken-era Trent Reznor for the Antichrist Superstar breakthrough, and, most important, David Bowie cast the shadow for the Mechanical Animals coke-cold masterwork, with a bit of John Lennon and Prince peppered throughout Holywood and The Golden Age, respectively. Always a more captivating interviewee and sound-bite generator than a musician, Manson's never developed a bedrock for his own noise, focusing more on the Cliff's Notes Artaud 'n' roll that used to scare your mom rather than developing his own musical foundations. This posed quite the problem, then, when Manson decided to use "Marilyn Manson" as the template for Eat Me, Drink Me, both sonically and thematically -- forcing Manson to spend the album Dahmering the turgid, photocopied music of his own earlier discs off of the bone, with his warbly, nasal moan meandering through the maelsturm and drangs that haunt the disc, like the tepid "Tourniquet" rewrite "They Said That Hell's Not Hot," or the pre-chewed ghost of Holywood's slickly industrial second half that stains nearly everything else.

At first, one might even take this as an arch, Warholian parody -- Manson is, after all, an artiste -- but even as parody, the songs fall flat. Beneath the plodding, slur-drunk grind of the music are lyrics like, "If I was your vampire/ Certain as the moon/ We'll have each other/ Until the sun," or, even better, this snippet from the Manson-rocker-by-numbers "Putting Holes in Happiness": "Blow out the candles/ On all my Frankensteins/ At least my death wish will come true." Perfect as those lyrics may be for the back of a Hot Topic T-shirt, paint the portrait of a man lost in his own plastic, inconsequential wilderness. Unlike Bowie, Manson is either unable or unwilling to destroy his fallen-alien persona -- had this album been performed by Brian Warner instead of "Marilyn Manson," he might have created something half as important as his own self image. Instead, Eat Me, Drink Me is a desperately cynical (or maybe Manson really is having a laugh and it's the other way around, but I doubt it) stumble toward meaning by a performer who has always defined his silhouette by the music and society that was outside of it.
And now that the music's over and the crowd has dispersed, it's easy to see that there is simply nothing there.

Holy Christ I hate this. Every modern music journalist writes like this, stringing together a bunch of mixed metaphors an non sequiturs. Definitively awful writing.

Does someone has experiences with playing/learning balalaika?
I am thinking about buying a (probably used) balalaika (around 40-80€) and teaching it myself.
I have no experiences with playing guitar or something similar, this would be my first string instrument.
Is ~50€ a good price for a used balalaika?
Wich kind of strings should I use?
Do you think it is possible to learn it yourself from books and videos?
How hard is it?
Even though I don't plan on taking lessons I could contact a former conductor of mine who also is the conductor of a balalaika ensemble and won some prices Russia with balalaika. So I have access to an expert who could help me.
Also general balalaika thread.

He seems like a sweet guy, and I'm sure it would be appreciated. But ever since his wife passed away, he kinda seems like a wildcard.
I've written to a couple musicians before, but Dan Barrett was the only one who responded. I'd say go for it OP, you have nothing to lose really.
