Strut Records presenta ' Metal Dance ', una nueva compilación de uno de los DJs y productores más respetados en el Reino Unido, el hombre detrás de Playgroup y fundador original del sello legendario Output Records, Trevor Jackson . Haciendo eco a algunos elementos de su renombrado mix para DJ Kicks del 2003, Jackson recurre a componentes que han aderezado sus DJ sets desde hace más de dos décadas. 'Metal Dance' va hasta lo más profundo y trae consigo lo más bailable y underground del industrial, post-punk y EBM. Jackson clásicos y rarezas [...]
With Beavis and Butthead back on the air after nearly a decade-and-a-half hiatus, I thought I'd take a moment to offer my belated thanks to these two badly-drawn boys for turning me on to a couple of bands that otherwise would have escaped my attention. Even before MTV got out of the music video business, Beavis and Butthead were airing videos that would never have gotten any airplay via mainstream channels. Presumably channeling Mike Judge's musical tastes, Beavis and Butthead provided US viewers with the first glimpses of several well-below-the-radar bands including the Dead Milkmen, the Cramps, Daisy [...]
Summer is coming and the sky is falling with all these tornadoes so as you are ducking for cover I thought it would be cool to give you a theme playlist. Here's some songs about aliens and UFO's. I know we're not alone somehow. The photo above is from the mars probe which I thought was so alien and beautiful looking. The real Men in Black know the deal. They are keeping secrets from the masses. Sunlamp Show MP3 by The Aliens from the album Luna [...]
Industrial zombie punk act Flesh Eating Foundation lurched out of the UK underground scene some time during the 1990's. Currently performing as a core of the two founding members Jon E.

'Seethe' and 'Purging' are both released on CD through Rebco Records and also available digitally from itunes and the usual download stores.

In advance of tomorrow... Happy Samhain, Hop-tu-naa or All Hallow's Even. With respect to the beloved departed and dead. Alien Sex Fiend - Now I'm Feeling Zombified Bauhaus - Double Dare The Cure - The Hanging Garden Fields of the Nephilim - Last Exit for the Lost (Live) angrybonbon
> My friend Chad IMd me this YouTube relic, lurching my hangover forward from abject snow-falling hell to a beautiful prismatic reminder of why I'm happy to be alive. Take notes. Buy black lipstick. Crank Alien Sex Fiend. Alien Sex Fiend - "Dead and Buried"
Alec Empire interviews Italian Electro Artist Tying Tiffany photo by Stefano Masselli Alec Empire: "Please describe the Italian music scene for us. Very rarely we hear anything about it. Are you part of a certain scene?" Tying Tiffany: " People often think that Italian music is just that melodic stuff, obviously the Italian music culture comes from this [...]
One Step Beyond Intro Boo! Scared you, didn't I? But not nearly as scared as you're gonna be after you listen to these terrifying tunes about werewolves, devils, witches, monsters and zombies; seriously scary stuff, kids - real spooky! Now, it might be too scary to listen in the dark, so you might want to be sure to turn on a light or three. In fact, I'm getting chills just thinking of it - chills, I tell you! Isn't that scary, boys and girls? Kids... whatsamatter? You don't like being scared? Kids... kids... where did [...]
Back in my junior high days, my friend Brian and I would hike up the Middlesex Canal path to the (now defunct) Northeast Trade Center whenever Jolly Jim's Flea Market rolled into town. A three dollar admission fee (if a friend wasn't working the gate that day) would grant one access to a hundred or so stalls filled to the brim with overpriced crap...and the one dude in the far corner who sold comic books. Brian was an early adopter of the comic collector ethos that stresses bags, backing boards, and buying multiple copies of a book for [...]
Go on, watch the video clip - it's wafer-thin... Oh, Dearest Friends, I'm only joking - please don't fuck off. You see, I was only alluding to this week's Contrast Podcast (belch), which celebrates yet another Deadly Sin - that of gluttony. Yes, on offer is a truly diverse, heaving buffet of musical foie gras, lyrical suckling pig, and a melodic Knickerbocker glory for dessert. So get your noses straight into the trough over here and gorge until you can [...]
I adore a good cover song, but I am SOOOOOO picky about them! To me, if the cover artist doesn't basically re-invent the song, then it's nothing but jumped-up karaoke. So some of these haven't been retrofitted quite to my tastes, but they're all good enough that I wanted to keep them around. I'll be doing these lists by letter, since, as I said, I have so damned many of them... Here's the A's, to begin. Right-click and save-as please. Save my bandwidth, guys! [...]
Veering into the mindless mainstream is one of my least favorite activities generally... I hate the mainstream Hollywood movies with more violence than plot, the music with more studio chicanery than songs in it... The news programming with no no news in it... It's like mainstream food, all sugar, fat & chemicals with no nutrients... Last night I had a house guest over who wanted to watch hours of crap TV including nancy Grace ranting about Lindsay Lohan's "problems" My onely problem with Lindsay Lohan is having to [...]
You might have noticed the "aversion to garlic" line in my profile information. Lest folks get the impression that I'm one of those folks with delusions of vampirism, a bit of explanation is in order. During my junior and most of my senior years of high school, I worked in the kitchen of the local hospital washing pans and other random cleaning tasks. Before I started working there, I was a foodie in embryo who relished the prospect of a well prepared meal. Fourteen months spent scraping pans, cleaning out the catch basin of the industrial dishwasher, and [...]
Mrs. Fiend: Can I please have the keys for the weekend, luv? Nik Fiend: But it's MY hurricane fighter plane! -- Is that the smooth sound of a gothy marimba bringing me back to life? Mp3: Hurricane Fighter Plane - Alien Sex Fiend [Buy it on ' All Our Yesterdays '] Right. This song starts out with the roar of aircraft...hm. Fair enough. Then marimba. Then some 'pow pow pow' sounds that are either gunshots, or the cry of a very upset video game monster. Following that, the screech of brakes and [...]
It has dawned on me that I should have come up with some kind of plan before going back to daily posts. Granted, it's taken me two months before I began to feel the burn, but I am feeling it in spades tonight. For the past hour or so, I've been reviewing various half-finished topics to see if there's anything that could be completed with a minimum amount of effort. Then I realized that the obligation to post every day was self-created, and I shouldn't rush something out the door for the sake of updating when the [...]
"It's in the trees, it's coming..." Castle FiL, 30 Oct 2006 Ah, it's the night before Halloween, and round Castle FiL we are all set for tomorrows tricks and treats. The front garden and walkway has been festooned with webs, the bushes are a-crawling with arachnids, a disembodied wraith head leers from a skeletal tree, and what the children affectionately call the "devil zombie" is leaning over the garden wall in anticipation of snaring [...]
Don’t let the title fool you; today’s spooky selection has nothing to do with Johnny Cash. This particular “I Walk the Line†is a galloping, off-kilter celebration of moral ambivalence courtesy of the legendary UK goth/electronic/rock act, Alien Sex Fiend. I’ve previously lamented the bland metallic direction goth music took after shedding itself of its early post-punk influences, but Nik and Mrs. Fiend (and friends) have been tinkering with and exploring the genre’s boundaries for nearly twenty-five years now. While the results of their sonic experimentation have been mixed, yielding around one killer track for every three or [...]
I think it was the late Carl Sagan who stated that scientists for all their supposed book learning are human, with all the same personality quirks and flaws as the rest of us ignorant sods, and that their personal foibles reflect back on the public’s perception of science as a whole. Sagan, of course, was not suggesting that scientists should behave like emotionless technocrats, but was instead trying to explain that the validity of the scientific method should not be ruled invalid because of ridiculous behavior by its practitioners. I’ve been trying to keep that advice in mind [...]
