I'd say just go Mr. Dignity. They are in the same light as Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and Chrome (industrial music) If anything, the live show should be interesting.

Let's see, even though I don't like much rap, I did recently purchase Jay-Z's "The Black Album" and the new Outkast album. Those guys are amazing. As far as rock, excluding the Darkness, I haven't really found any other new rock worth listening to. Servo I too don't like much Rap/Hip-Hop, but I bought the recent Outcast album and it was some great stuff. They just might take rap into a new phase. |

Yeah, I don't know a huge amount of stuff by Einsturzende Neubauten, but everything I've heard I've liked a lot. I'm a big fan of band member Blixa Bargeld, who was in Nick Cave's band The Bad Seeds for a long time before quitting last year.  He's a wacko, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. But you should definitely go -- I hear their live shows are like a religious experience. |

(I should add I'm a big Nick Cave fan and spent some time drinking in The Thirsty Dog) So you guys convinced me...I hope there are still tickets. |

Jay-Z and Outkast are pretty much the best of rap today, in the mainstream. If you like them, Servo, you might like a group called Blackalicious. I think they're more hip-hop, though. I also like The Darkness. I need to get all these albums! In other news, I also like The Clash, and I have a Godspeed You Black Emperor! CD. |

QUOTE: Do you think Blixa quit because Nick's last album was so bad?
HA HA HA!!! Yeah, that might've been the reason. I did like "Wonderful World" and "Dead Man In My Bed," but other than that, the album was really sub-par, especially from an artist of Nick Cave's stature. I was a bit disappointed, because I love Cave, but whatcha gonna do? At least I've still got nearly twenty years' worth of his GREAT music to listen to, plus my old Birthday Party records. I do hope he comes up with something a lot better next time, though. We live in hope.

Heheh, I have such varying tastes in music, radagast, it's guaranteed to both please and disappoint any one person. I just love music, and like Duke Ellington said, "If it's good, I'll like it!" Or he said something like that. I heard it from someone. Someone who knows, okay?!
I just listened to Tool's Aenima last night. Hadn't listened to it in a loooong time. Man, it is intense. The third track is just perfect, IMO. The album jolts me out of complacency. Of course, I slip back into complacency within a few hours, but still.

I love music, as long as it pleases me. I'm not going to discredit anything just because I don't like it. I'll also give anything a chance. At least one chance. Servo |

You all should be hanged for your taste in music!
Of course I'm only joking. I too like all music , but only if it has that energy I'm lookin for, like "Rubber Ducky". Man that's an intense one.

Actually phrases like "I like all music if it's good" crack me up. Who's defining good? Why the person making the statement of course. So it has nothing to do with being "open minded" but just someone stating that what they like is good. When it comes to music I'm not open minded, and neither are you. We're opinionated. That's just my open minded opinion. |

That's just my open minded opinion. Yeah, but my statement (if you read it again) says music with an energy. That's what I always preach. I don't nessecarily think I like all music that has an energy is 'good' to me, but I can tell if it is in fact good if it does have an energy. Energy is good. Meaning like a feeling in it, something you can't explain in words or materialize. I'm laughing at you. Damn I'm tired. I don't think I'm making any sense. |
