NEW YORK - GODFLESH SUPERSTAR

Maybe this is old news, but evidently Godflesh's "Anthems" syncs up with the beginning of the movie version of Jesus Christ Superstar a la Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon, a la The Wall and The Wall, a la Peace of Mind and Starship Troopers, and so on. If you don't think that's impressive on its own, try to consider the combined odds of someone being the type of person who listens to Hymns-era Godflesh and also is into Jesus Christ Superstar. It's like one of those "a dove's wing brushes a diamond every three years"-type mind-blowers they tell you at planetariums.
