Digging for stuff related to Coil and Throbbing Gristle (two of my absolute favorites), found out they came from the ashes of Crisis, another band I really enjoy.

The way you worded that it sounds like you mean that Coil and Throbbing Gristle came from Crisis somehow.

Weird how Andy LaPlegua seems to be a reasonable human being in his response. I expected him to be a little bit of a baby about it.

Unsprising that Thomas Rainer is a piece of poo poo though.

Thanks, man. Yeah, Andy's response surprised me, but what more can I ask for, really?

Yeah Myer pretty much hates the brodustrial scene. Not sure where I read it but there was an interview (maybe in like Orkus / Sonic Seducer?) where he told he can't stand stuff like Combichrist or Agonoize.

I feel really bad for bands like Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, and Einstürzende Neubauten. It's as if being talented and creating great music is the one turn-off for sexy goth chicks.

The potential of being in close proximity to naked women is the only reason people like that* join bands in the first place.

*people who clearly have no interest in music

edit: honestly, I doubt if any of those people even spend time listening to music with any interest or a remotely critical ear.

edit edit: having music on in the background while doing something else doesn't count as listening.

I said this already on FB, but:

1: I never criticised Nachtmahr's fascist-military image. I criticised their poor gender analysis/presentation, and the industrial community spontaneously and repeatedly added their fascist-military look to the list of complaints.

2: It's hilarious to me that Anna says "where's Consolidated when you need them", namechecks Jello Biafra, and then says that you shouldn't be political to people who are there to hear music, as if that's not what exactly what Consolidated and Jello did at every show of their entire lives.

3: A public relations protip to Anna, or anyone else in this scene: When being questioned about your questionable fashion choices, never, ever, ever start an unprompted conversation about how the swastika is a Buddist symbol. That's like Douglas P. 101 right there.

Other dumb stuff: Claiming that you're taking a stand on something, and then revealing that the only belief you're prepared to defend is that military uniforms give you a boner. The limited understanding of politics as occurring only behind a voting machine curtain. The claim that you can't be a misogynist if you were raised to treat women with 'chivalry'--repeated by sexists everywhere.

A lot of conversation on IDUD really worries me not because I think people have Bad Opinions, but because
(1) they don't seem to understand the complaint you're leveling
(2) they seem unable to explain themselves except by way of pop-culture analogy.

It's almost like they get upset that they are being asked to think about what they like, at all.

It's frustrating when people miss the point so widely. Disagreement is fine, but it's like they're not even participating in the conversation.

It's tough, because when you think about social issues, you expect others to at least understand the language. People (like Rainer) who have never given it serious thought don't really have the tools to engage, though.

Holy poo poo, I feel like that guy embodies everything wrong with the scene. No politics in music? The genre was founded on social and political commentary. The early uses of military imagery was a negative statement about current political climates. I've been out of the loop for a bit with modern industrial but I'm seriously seeing the mindset of hair metal bullshit and decadence seeping into the scene.

But the music is just the most insipid poo poo imaginable. It's like they took every single horrible pop music cliche ... auto-tune, featuring guy with a bit of rap, using internet slang/spelling, etc. and inserted it into an electro song.

Speaking of Faderhead....

The Faderhead Blog posted:

“He said Thomas Rainer (Nachtmahr) is a Nazi!” – true. Listen to him when he gets drunk. I’ve personally heard him spout racist “Untermensch”-stuff on one occasion (Amphi 2010 backstage) and I know a bunch of others who have too. So I don’t buy his “it’s all provocation in the name of art!”-shtick. If I had known this in 2009 (when I met Thomas at Mera Luna) I would have never done the “Mädchen In Uniform”-remix. But hey, if you play in a band, dressed up as a Hitler-lookalike, you’ll have to live with the fact that people call you out on your poo poo.

Yeah and what's with people calling this "Nine Inch Nails" poo poo industrial now?? ;)

I mean bands like VNV Nation, A23, Apop etc. "futurepop", have been lumped in with industrial for over ten years now too.

My understanding with Faderhead though is that he started as credible and decent, then after the first album switched to this crap. I've never gotten around to actually checking it out though. I only know who he is because Encephalon were opening for the Toronto show. I checked him out on YouTube and decided not to go. (Encephalon are fantastic though.)
