Haha, I saw that I'd received an email from Wax Trax!, the seminal Chicago EBM label of the 80s/90s the other day.

Back to back, it was about Front 242 and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. Ha. I felt like I was back in 1988. 😃

Got a killer #MusicWomenWednesday for this week. When I was a kid in the 90s, I had this awesome Wax Trax video compilation (on VHS!) from 1994, it had KMFDM, Coil and Laibach on it (and a ton of other great bands) including BRAINDEAD SOUNDMACHINE.

This was the first way I ever heard this great Patsy Cline song, this unforgettable 'metaldisco' (as they liked their genre to be called) cover. It's totally wild and probably underappreciated.

listening to #Bonobo 'eyesdown' thinking 'holy fuck the piano is doing some incredible shit i wonder where the sample is from'

turns out there was some #KeithJarrett playing in a browser window

well, if there isn't piano on this track there should be

I really appreciate @robinjames
's work to correct the story of 80s-90s alternative music. Plenty was happening before Nirvana and in places other than Seattle. I'd like to see this more broadly contextualized to encompass the Cincinnati and Dayton club scenes at the time (y'all know I'm partial to the Warehouse, but y'all also know the myriad clubs I'm thinking about).
