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:
