Glenn Danzig Would Appreciate It If You Gave Him A Positive Feedback Rating

Former Misfits singer (and long-time Idolator reader) Glenn Danzig talks with the Onion‘s AV Club this week, and while the interview is heavy on the Scandinavian black metal chit-chat, it also reveals some of Glenn-Glenn’s online-shopping habits:

AVC: When you’re a musician on the road, though, iPods are really convenient. GD: I don’t even listen to music on the road, and if I did, it would be classical or whatever, something to chill me out. Actually, CDs sound so much better than MP3s. I’m sure they’ll come out with a better format someday. Really, your iPod is just this little temporary go-between. Everybody will have to throw them out someday. I remember when they came out with quad vinyl. That was going to change everything, you know?

It’s funny, I’m really into eight-tracks, because it’s tape, and it sounds nice and thick. I really like it. I go on eBay every once in a while to look for eight-tracks. But you should see the prices that reel-to-reel tapes go for, those old four-track reel-to-reels that came with the cover artwork and everything. I saw an Elvis one, and Johnny Cash. I didn’t get the two Johnny Cash reel-to-reels, ’cause at the last minute they went from, like, $8 to $70. That’s crazy. But I think people are realizing that the tape format sounds really good. It’s just so bottomy and thick and full. It sounds so different.

While Glenn’s not known for being overly cautious with his money–we’re sure he spends $500 a week on unbleached deer skulls alone–we’re guessing that recent low-bid items have him feeling a bit bearish toward the auction market.
