Oh yeah, 1000 Homo DJs "Supernaut"

Basically, get the Ministry "Side Trax" compilation, and this covers much of the best of Wax Trax! in the 'prime' years.

Funnily enough, Jim always insisted that he was not putting out "dance music".

xpost * anyone know the whereabouts of Andy Dunkley? Tell him his friends in Chicago miss him.

I have written it on another thread, but I think Lard's "The Last Temptation of Reid" has the only songs Jello Biafra sung that I really liked by him outside the Dead Kennedys (although I have read good things on the album with the Melvins).

Forkboy is a great tune, one of Jourgensen and Barker's best. It won't ever happen unless you put it together yourself, but if there was a 'greatest hits' that went between all of those guys projects on one or two CDs, it would be really fantastic and would probably best some up their music.

I never could listen to their CDs front to back, but KMFDM's "A Drug Against War" was one I always liked.

I didn't know much about the person, but what a label. RIP.

A bit late to the original CD/SD, but: destroy Psykosonik. Cringworthy JACK YOUR MEAT INTO CUBESPACE sub-sub-Gibson lyrics, and one of them went on to be <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Day";>this waste of skin</a>.

Seems like he took the lesson of it to heart.

I really recommend the Wax Trax documentary that came out not too long ago. Just saw it and it made me appreciate this scene/sound I once took for granted, in part because I got here more or less as the label started its decline. Some great clips. Here's a trailer:
