Kickstreet’s back, all right!
Everybody has hard choices to make about how they’re going to spend their weekend. Some choices are harder than others. This week’s showdown: One of the ’90s most iconic boy bands vs. one of the ’90s most vile industrial bands. FIGHT!
Backstreet Boys | My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult | ||
---|---|---|---|
What: | Sweetly harmonized bubblegum pop for the masses. | Discordant, sleazy industrial for that one scumbag roommate you had in college. | Advantage: Thrill Kill Kult. |
When/where: | Planet Hollywood, then Chateau, Friday. | Cheyenne Saloon, Saturday. | Advantage: Push. |
Named for: | An Orlando flea market. | A British tabloid headline. | Advantage: Thrill Kill Kult. |
Chief unpleasantries: | The involvement of noted scumbag Lou Pearlman. | The Guess we’ll go with the demon girl simulating on-stage oral sex with a Jesus figure nailed to the cross during the Sexplosion! tour. | Advantage: Push. |

Mashup potential: | Blackstreet Boys: “No Diggity” vs. “I Want it That Way.” | My Life With the Thrill Kill Kilt: “Amazing Grace” vs. “Leathersex.” | Advantage: Backstreet. Like we said last week, EVERYTHING sounds better with “No Diggity.” |
