Arthur Janov's primal therapy method of sounding out repressed trauma through raw emotional output is one of those ideas that gathered most of its steam through championing by famous musicians. And like a lot of those fads, it sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me with perhaps a pearl (amongst the swine) of wisdom. But music is undeniably heavy with raw emotion and its execution seems pretty beneficial to one's inner grace, so what do I know?

The Siren's Song hosts a pretty raw and heavy show tonight at 9 p.m. with local space-bong lords Ultramafic, Stranger Than Fact and Muppet Hunter, a band who I enjoy live somewhat but who I want to be weirder and do more to live up to its name than simply have Cookie Monster-esque death metal vocals ($5).
