Saw this article about Ministry on Twitter and thought it might interest people here(possibly I'm following one of you guys, WHO KNOWS?)

That was a great article. My favorite part were the tidbits about Al just blatantly stealing tracks from people.

Hah. He played guitar for Divine? That's awesome.

Now this is interesting:

quote:

I think we’ve established that Jourgensen’s early pop work was a combination of ambition and earnest appreciation for English pop, and that the shift to industrial dance was influenced in large part by an interest in Front 242 and DAF. But why the guitars? A number of answers have been floated, but the explanation he gave to various publications when the album came out is straight forward: he was sick of electronic music. By 1988, everyone was doing it, and he wanted to do something different.

Jourgensen says in Lost Gospels that he was inspired to add guitars to Ministry by two bands: SOD and Rigor Mortis. Rigor Moris guitarist Mikey Scaccia would later join Ministry.

Chris Connelly, formerly of Revolting Cocks, has a different theory. In his memoir he wrote, as quoted by Reed, that Steve Albini and Big Black had a big influence on Jourgensen before Land was released:

[Big Black] threw down a gauntlet of piously heterosexual indie rock to WaxTrax!’ s gay dance club overtones, and it had a trickle down effect that never went away, at least that’s the way I read it (one thing is for certain, Albini and Al: not about to go fishing together). Al had something to prove.

quote:

Actually, the keyboard player on [the track] ‘Move’ is Al Jourgensen. I called him up and said: ‘How do you want me to list you on the record?’. He goes: ‘just call me Dog’. So I called him Dog, right? About two years later he calls me up, very upset that I had called him Dog on the record, and why didn’t I list his proper name?

Yeah, this about sums up everything I've ever read or heard about Al Jourgensen.

I knew about it from 'bin therre' being the first thing raymond watts has officially done since...'06, i wanna say? There's been enough material by now for a new Pig EP, but I don't know if he'll ever put out another album.

Another thing, I really wish haloblack's throb was on iTunes.

And holy poo poo, Expansion came out over a decade ago. I'm feeling ancient.

I did (but never released) a remix of Diamond Dust probably back in 2005? It might have been the first remix I ever worked on, before I even had a project name or anything.

This is a great Trent Reznor parody: https://soundcloud.com/fredscott-1/this-is-a-trent-reznor-song (thanks het for linking me).

Also ran into it on Daniel Myer's facebook page, and further down his page he apparently pissed off a lot of Nachtmahr fans by calling out Nachtmahr's nazi imagery in a magazine interview (apparently Daniel Myer is an irrelevant scenester whose opinion doesn't matter... and he's just jealous because he doesn't look good in uniform). "Nazi Imagery is a style if you don't like it turn the page. I admit Nazi's are bad; although; they look awesome while doing what they do" is the most conciliatory Nachtmahr fans get. (Link to original magazine article: http://is.gd/rrpIwY) Very amusing :)

Heh. I found it on Tom Shear's Facebook. My obsessed friend, and a pile of internet commenters are offended by it though, saying it's solely criticism of Copy of a, which is already commentary on modern pop music. So the parody is dumb!

I don't know. Nin just lost all the magic for me with With Teeth and I haven't paid close attention to much since.
