WOO WOO!

Well then. Now I feel dumb for not thinking of using the search function. Thanks for the heads-up.

yes. yes I do.

I'd love to see a GTG about first and/or second wave Detroit Techno. I'll even write it myself, if need be. Hell, there's a great GTG to be had in just the catalog of Underground Resistance.  I understand this falls somewhat outside the normal scope of the AV Club though, so I'm not holding my breath.

They make it into the comments by way of the Spawn soundtrack, but that's about it. Sorry.

If you were a music seller in the 90's, I think ATR would be solidly electronica as you have nowhere else to file it in most record shops. As the years have moved on, I think electronica has, at least here, been narrowed to refer to what is basically a subgenre of popular electronic dance music. I would put them on…

Never in a million years would I have expected to see Vapourspace mentioned on the AV Club. Awesome.

I think new-style EBM may be the label for things like Velvet Acid Christ; the early albums of VNV Nation and Covenant; Wumpscut; and Combichrist. They retain some of the rhythmic drive of first-wave EBM like Front 242 or Nitzer Ebb but are harsher in their sonic palates favoring more distorted sounds, and often using…

Moby as a producer, after his first batch of ravier material, falls kind of flat in my book. Moby as a DJ, however, is a whole other kettle of fish. Having seen both incarnations live, he strikes me as someone who has a deep passion for the music he loves, but has trouble translating that into original material. He is…

I agree with @gambrinus:disqus on this one. A number of my friends got into 90's electronica via the Hackers soundtrack. Additionally, quite a few people came in via MTV's "Amp" collection album and the companion soundtrack to the playstation game Wipeout, both great collections.

Insofar as the weather has not made it the usual frozen hellscape that I grew up enjoying every winter, yes. As for Kodak's further downturn and the still-present hole in Midtown, not so much.

ICHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

The Philly Inquirer has an article up on their site with the headline "Santorum Surges From Behind in Iowa." I have a hard time believing the news staff is clueless about that one.

A few of us in my group of friends have had that sweet guitar lick and Dean Learner's rap as ringtone for some years now. It's great.

Man, you've just discovered all sorts of good stuff there. If you go back to Yob (I assume you're listening to Atma) and don't like the sound of it, go back an album to The Great Cessation. I found that the songwriting stayed similar between the two but I preferred the clearer production of The Great Cessation to the…

Tom Araya, Lemmy and Mark Sandman are all strong contenders, but my vote has to go to the late Peter Steele of Type O Negative. He had some very inventive bass lines, no doubt helped by his giant hands that let him play bass chords like normal people play guitar chords. Didn't hurt that he had a great voice to boot.

I googled it and was pleased to see it was only $100, so I think it's aimed squarely at the teen/young 20's set who don't know they can make these sorts of noises with widely available free soft-synths.

Yeah, saw them a couple of years back and they're still going strong. One of the reasons you see their shirts around is that Hot Topic is reprinting a lot of classic metal designs so kids can further horrify/amuse their parents by wearing the same Metallica "Metal Up Your Ass" shirt their dad thought was rebellious…

I think those acts have just become the de facto identifiers of the "generally rebellious in a dark-ish way" set of this generation of teens. It's similar to the kids in my suburban HS in the mid-90's who wore Op Ivy, Misfits and The Exploited shirts all the time, despite being about as far away from actual punk as…
