What are you listening to? 10/25 edition

[SkinyUte]

Went to Ohgr/KMFDM last night, seeing Youth Code on Saturday, and am gearing up for the Ministry show next Monday.  So it’s been a steady diet of industrial for me the last few days.

Been listening to Ministry for 30+ years, but have never had the chance to see Uncle Al live.  Looking forward to finally correcting that character flaw.  🙂

What’s in your earholes today?

Today started with a little Angels & Airwaves and has evolved into a huge Spotify playlist of modern music… INXS, Depeche Mode, Erasure, etc.

Good times.

I’ll have to check out some of that industrial music you appreciate so much.  My go-to is alternative rock so that might be a good compliment.

Some starter recommendations, stuff that’s a little more accessible:
– Haujobb
– Front 242
– Ohgr
– Ministry
– Celldweller
– Blue Stahli
– Frontline Assembly (my personal fave)
– Project Pitchfork
– Assemblage 23
– VNV Nation
– Die Krupps

If you want stuff that’s far darker, more dissonant, crazy, and just kinda…insane, check out:
– Skinny Puppy (a shocking recommendation, I know)
– Download
– Squarepusher
– Wumpscut
– Suicide Commando
– Velvet Acid Christ
– Youth Code
– Igorrr
– Combichrist
– Laether Strip

Sweet!  Thanks for the list.  I’ll start checking some of that out and will report back.

I got into Squarepusher quite a bit a few years ago.

Where the hell is Nitzer Ebb in that list? Nine Inch Nails? Stabbing Westward is kind of an industrial band…

Slacker.

Incidentally, if anybody cares, I’m guest DJing at Area 51 on Friday, November 10th. I will be playing stuff a lot darker than I normally play. Just sayin’.

I kinda figured those two were a given. Doesn’t everyone know who they are?

Stabbing Westward is kind of an industrial band…

I kinda liked them back in the day, but their albums haven’t aged very well. Are they still a thing? I honestly have no idea…

You will love Ministry live. I saw them at the old dv8 circa 2002. Soooo LOUD! Oghr is someone I haven’t thought of in years! It being October and all, I will be listening to the Cramps, Misfits, bahaus, and The Damned, from now until November. Then it’s my awesome late fall music! This is my favorite time of year for so many reasons…

Fats Domino died today. Maybe the most underrated musician of the entire early rock era – in that time period, the only artist to sell more albums than Fats was Elvis. And no other black artist even comes close. RIP Fats.
