As an old fart, I'm perpetually bothered by the fact that ‘rave crabs’ have nothing to do with ‘FotL’ and people wouldn't understand me referencing the latter.
I don’t like the idea that shows can be altered after broadcast so many years later due to that. I know Netflix did similar with Dawson’s Creek. Which in my opinion, can ruin the artist intent to those involved. So I’d rather not watch such a show if I know this is a edit being made.
It was first broadcast for us in this case. Which probably means the series producers were aware of this, and just didn't care that the rights they got would not cover worldwide broadcast.
Mezzanine’s first track is why I know I have never or will never find the woman I really want… namely because I’ve met women I thought I loved, but I’m still breathing.
I love the distortion lines around the crab. I imagine this always being the case around this crab. You go to the beach and you spot that crab and for as long as you are looking at it really distorts around it.
I assume they're just named after the largest word on the album. "Fat Of The Land Crab" would also be too long, and "Massive Attack Beetle" too threatening.
Both great albums, go listen to them
Of course then there’s also this fucking guy

I mean, except this is a post about the crab from Fat of the Land.
But wait, does that mean I’m an old fart?
I never stopped <3
Fat of the Land was the first album I ever pirated circa 2000ish
Ditto
Fat of the Land was the first CD I borrowed indefinitely and thus owned circa also the same time.
I mean the latter has a song that became a theme to a popular medical drama.
I only know of mezzanine cause of the Matrix lol
“Teardrop” is the House M.D. opening theme.
In France it was only there for the first season (at least on my streaming service, and I was watching them around the time they released).
There was a rather similar-sounding but legally distinct song used after that. I guess they didn't get worldwide rights for the song or something.
Same with Germany - possibly licensed and/or distributed by RTL or subsidiaries in both countries?
Listen. There was also that shit that was pulled with Edelweis at the beginning of Man in the High Castle. The song changed after the first season.

Yeah, they should have to mention it before the opening credits when they do that

If you only know it from House, you might be surprised to find it has vocals too (worth a listen)
Oh TIL
What track was on the Matrix soundtrack from this?
according to Wikipedia Music from the film that does not appear on the soundtrack
Oh interesting I didn't realise that.
Dissolved Girl, plays in the beginning shots of Neo asleep at his desk at home

God I wish.
One of my favourite Prodigy albums. RIP Keith Flint
I was supposed to see them in concert in May 2019, had tickets and was super excited 😭
Is that crab a fire starta?
Fucking instigator

twisted animator
A twisted firestarter
Only tangentially related, but: I've always wanted to see a mashup of "Firestarter" and Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire".

Could be better but a solid effort, better than I can do for sure

sound of whip
Why is the beetle named after the album, but the crab is named after the band?
Yeah the inconsistent naming convention got me too.
I assume they're just named after the largest word on the album. "Fat Of The Land Crab" would also be too long, and "Massive Attack Beetle" too threatening.
Massive Attack Beetle sounds way cooler
