Zyklon B Zombie posted:Worst was seeing Kompressor live. He a CD player and a distortion pedal and a mic. And the distortion pedal broke. And it was daylight saving time, so the bar was closing early and he had to skip a bunch of tracks on his CD player. Then he got winded and sat down while he sand the rest of the songs. This is exactly what I would expect from a Kompressor performance.

Omi-Polari posted:^ Yup. I know its wrong, but despite having eventually realized Douglas Pierce's politics I still like some of Death in June's music. That being said I'll never feel the need to own more than the compilation album that I currently have. Oddly enough as a leftist I can in some strange way relate to the extreme pessimism expressed in his music. *edit I still feel far worse for ever bothering with anything Boyd Rice ever did. Well aside from easy listening for the hard of hearing, because Frank Tovey is awesome. copshootcop fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Feb 21, 2014 |

One thing I forgot to mention is that there's the added layer of boycotts and pickets at DiJ shows. I'm not sure if these still happen very often. But I find these hard to justify since the whole point behind neo-folk music is that it's "apoliteic" and about deliberately disengaging from politics. They're not organizing for anything.

"Apolitical" is a nonsense word, especially when you're using it as cover to push fascist or crypto-fascist ideas.

boo_radley posted:The Denver tickets for SP are turning out to be more expensive than I expected. Has the show been crazy awesome so far? Did you make it out last night? A friend had 93.3 tickets and was sick, so I got them FREE. Pretty awesome since I was planning to buy mine at the door. They had the Ogden pretty packed, I assume it was close to a sell out show. I thought it was pretty great. I've never been a huge SP fan, I like Mythmaker, which feels like the least skinny puppy album maybe?

Mythmaker and The Process are definitely the two biggest outliers in SP's history. Rabies has a few odd songs, but most of it fits right in.

The Process is definitely one of my favorites. The fact that the band was coming apart at the seams comes across in the music somehow.

All this Denver talk reminds me. My buddy got a track on the latest Metropolis Records compilation. It's too bad that 1: Metropolis is loving terrible and 2: No matter what else he does he will always carry the stigmata of being a dude who used to be in Velvet Acid Christ. http://www.metropolis-mailorder.com/product.php?prodnum=MET+936

Been listening to the Spectre stream a lot, here are some incoherent ramblings about it. gently caress this is a good album, loving hell! Couple of weaker tracks there like Walk With Me and No History, and I don't really think the latter half of Resistance Is Futile fits the album all that well, but drat if this isn't a band/entity that can actually TRULY reinvent itself over and over again. I mean, it always sounds like Laibach, because nothing else on the planet sounds like this, but tracks like We Are Millions And Millions Are One are just so far away from what you'd expect from this band that it's just mindblowing. Didn't like The Whistleblowers at first listen, and I still think Fras's vocals are mixed way too loud, but it's really a chillingly rousing song and now I can't stop listening to it. Eat Liver! loving kicks rear end, there's a swing to it that Laibach just never had before. Still love Eurovision to death. Koran is probably one of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever by Laibach. I think the mood here is extremely interesting for Laibach. Laibach has always been mostly threatening, or, occasionally (for example on Volk and some tracks here and there), hopeful or disappointed-sounding, but here Laibach sounds kind of "tired", exhausted. Not at ALL in the musical sense, mind you, but more like exhausted of the world. But there's still a glimmer of hope. I dunno. That's just what it makes me think of. I think what I'm talking about is summed up pretty well in Americana when Fras goes "Do it with a feeling" in his best  voice.Also the album is just straight-up synth porn, amazing stuff in the technical sense. I guess it's a very logical continuation of the live sound Laibach has been working with for the last couple of years, especially Bossanova sounds kind of like something they could've worked out from their cover of Warm Leatherette or something. Can't wait to hear the bonus tracks on the limited edition. Monday  Laibach good you guys. Laibach good.

Bunch of musings on the band Facebook page, but he at one point says he's changing his focus to family and his other career. I have no idea what his other career is.

It's always interesting when you realize these drug addled insane industrial frontmen often have families and day jobs. From what I'm told: - Al Jorgensen and Raymond Watts both have daughters. - Cevin Key was the first male cashier at a Safeway. - Trent Reznor used to scrub toilets at a recording studio. I can only imagine what some current lesser-known bands do in their Mon - Fri life.

The Seabound lyricist is a professor of Psychology and the composer is an entertainment lawyer in LA (same firm as where he previously worked in Germany). His moving to California is the main reason the last album took so long.

The limited edition Spectre bonus track Just Say No! is essentially a Laibach hip hop song with Milan Fras rapping and it's exactly as amazing as you'd think Also The Parade sounds like an old, OLD school KMFDM track (actually I dunno, why did that make me think of KMFDM? More like Alle gegen alle redux)? Love on The Beat is great too, and the See That My Grave Is Kept Clean cover will probably make WAT fans really happy.

Metropolis has Army of the Universe and Aesthetic Perfection signed, so I guess you could hate them just for that, Idunno. Outside of that, they've always been generous with promotional material, so I don't see much of a reason to hate them unless you dislike Dave Heckman specifically or you just want to hate on the most mainstream label within a niche. My only criticism of Metropolis is that at times they've made their umbrella too wide and signed bands that I just thought were just kinda neither-here-nor-there synthpop/rock. Dope Stars Inc. is one that sticks out in my mind.

I don't know all the ins and outs, but a lot of individuals and companies are doing Kickstarters even though they have no problem with the capital. It's a promotional tactic as much as anything.

Yeah, once you've given to a Kickstarter, you're committed and involved in a way that, however shallow, encourages you to identify with the project. It's a great promotional tool to keep devoted fans involved.

Nothing and Nowhere was new and exciting to me. And then Violet was generally better in every way. Even the songs that were reissued were mixed better. By Walking With Strangers, it was OKAY, but not exceptional. And they've just gotten samey-sounding to me since. I don't really care to support a new album.
