Har, har, har, that was a real side-splitter.  I assume you're referring to
the "I listen to Merzbow on headphones to go to sleep" attitude...  just
try talking about a 4AD group, or reggae, or prog-rock on nm-list, and
watch everyone declare the topic "boring" or "not new," while the latest
sounds-like-the-rest Zoviet France disc or the latest just-drank-battery-
acid-again Zeni Geva disc gets drooled and fawned over.

Sounds like a regulation nm-list diet to me. %)  nm-list is nice, but it
definitely has an unspoken code of what's cool and what's not.   Political,
noisy, angry, ominous, chaotic, masculine == cool, while cheerful, happy,
feminine, confessional, funny, playful == uncool.   There are exceptions,
but to a large extent nm-list == Serious Angry Noisy (or Ominously Ambient)
Young Men.

Great minds think alike, huh?  How old does the "good" stuff have to be
before it's no longer "new," and therefore not "good" anymore?

> WARNING.....DO NOT use a compressor on stage with a mic.....WARNING

Nonsense.  I've used compression plenty of times on stage.  However,
if you're using an overdriven compressor to achieve your Jourgensonesque
vocals, you might want to try putting the effects on a post-monitor
insert on the board (if it has any).  That way, you get the effects
out the main PA, but not in your monitors.  This avoids feedback
problems.  It also means you get a dry signal out your monitors,
which may throw you off.

Another way to avoid feedback on stage is to put a heavy gate
pre-distortion (that's gate, _not_ gated reverb).  Use the input as
the trigger, so the gate opens as you sing and closes before the
feedback can start.  You need a pretty extreme setting to avoid
feedback, though.  This can be distracting if you forget to turn
it off when talking between songs (it'll clip the start of each
word).  A good soundman can help here, too.

Hey, anyone who thinks (or ever thought) that "industrial culture" (or
whatever other lame thing you want to call it) is or was about wearing
black, having a k00l haircut, and calling people posers is a loser.  But
this doesn't excuse you, and the rest of the mainstream, from coming

the mainstream.  I still don't.  Which is why I probably don't like you.

She doesn't have to buy into it.  She IS the crap that goes along

By the way -- you don't have to quote the "my genre" et. al, and

Last July someone gave me a free ticket to the FLA show in vancouver.
I wasn't going to go, but somehow ended up there anyway.  When I went
in, the door guy was a complete asshole, and searched me so hard I 
wondered if he was gay.  Somehow the loser managed to miss the full
size mic, 2 meters of shielded cable, and walkman sized tape recorder
I had wrapped around my waist.  (I was doing interviews for IScorp that
day, and never got a chance to unload my equipment). 

Anyway he pissed me off so much I decided to tape the show.  First time
I've taped a show using "real" recording equipment.  The sound quality
was amazing.  (For tape it was amazing).

Luckily I returned to my senses and taped over it the next day.  God
they suck.  Now on that tape I have an interview with a lesbian talking
about how she wants to sleep with dead men.

Al,

As I'm sure you're aware from your conversations with Tom, Nettwerk (or
SH's distributor in Europe) wanted a "HARD" mix of "Twister" (I suppose
that means, make it sound like Ministry :-) If it wasn't HARD they didn't 
want it. I think it took Rob Racic a few attempts before the distibutors
were happy (unfortunately I've deleted a mail item regarding this).

It seems that the attitude is, if you want to sell Industrial Muzak in the
US (or Europe for that matter), make it sound like Ministry.

Huh? Me noble......you must be joking..

Obviously my lame sense of humor got in the way a bit. All that was meant
by the remark above was that maybe if all that energy he seems to be using
being mad at the world could do some good, he would no doubt have
enough to spread over the human rights infringment on millions, Salman
Rushdie, abortion, capitol punishment, etc.

It seemed obvious to me that no one person would be capable of doing even
close to what I descibed, and I failed miserably at thinking you (and prob
others--no doubt it was the way it was worded) would as well, and be able to
see some semblance of humor in the remark.

that, 3 years ago?), I went to see them 'cause some friends of mine were 
opening.  I was pretty much at the peak of my Wax Trax! fanboy phase (or 
perhaps just starting to become sick of the genre), but that show was what 
convinced me that the whole genre was turning to shit.  I'd never seen

that people could actually enjoy watching and listening to such utter 
crap.  Needless to say, I left the show early (after four songs, come to 
think of it!).

Glad to see that more people are starting to realize this.
