And if they have Kick ass first seasons they end up on Fox, aired out of order and summarily cancelled.

Have you seen THIS?

Huh. No… I am glad I didn’t read your whole post before listening to it. Because the video and the sound, I swear to god, was the most 90s sounding industrial you could ask for. Then looking it up I see it is modern day! For anyone who doesn’t know Chris Connelly, he has worked with tons of industrial groups in the 90s and beyond, including KMFDM, Ministry, and Revolting Cocks. I remember him most solo wise for Candyman Collapse on the Wax Tax Afterburner compilation CD. Anyway - thanks for …

I’m a huge Connelly fan. Lots of his solo stuff is very songwritery with lots of experimental overtones, sort of like Scott Walker. He also did lots of stuff with Martin Atkins in the 90s with Pigface (which is the one and only time I saw him on tour - he only plays in Chicago now, I think). Shipwrecked is a great album and I really love Blonde Exodus, though it’s sort of his attempt at being Jacques Brel or someone like that. He also has a book of poetry, a memoir (of his time with Ministry/RevCo) and a novel!

But yeah… straight up 1980s or early 90s electro-industrial stuff with that project. I’m digging it. I thought you and @OtherMichael would, too.

That is fucking wonderful!
Not only honoring Admiral Grace Hopper, but removing the name of John C. Calhoun from Yale’s buildings. Marvelous!

Calhoun was one scary looking dude:

Kinda halfway between Dracula near the start of the 1992 film:

and Frankenstein’s monster. Not someone i’d want to meet in a dark alley at night, and i like dark alleys at night (or at least darkness and night, alleys tend to stink).

@singletona082

Nobody is seeing that anymore, sadly.

That is probably a good thing… seriously. One of the most painful schlock films I have seen.

Have all the people replying here seen THIS?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to tell people not to reply there without breaking the rules. Kudos, good citizen!

Continuing the discussion from Have you seen THIS?:

that’s a flashback to college days.

Sounds a lot like Ministry crossed with Front Line Assembly cc 1990.

[anon61221983]

I know, right (although, technically, I’m still IN my college days!). Not too surprising it evokes Ministry, given it’s Connelly.

[TobinL]

@OtherMichael

Sounds a lot like Ministry

Well Ministry before they went all speed metal.
And yes memories of being up late watching 120 minutes were evoked. Thanks @anon61221983

But after they were synth-pop… the Barker era, the sweet spot.

I feel that Douglas Hofstadter would be proud.

You should try watching the first season of TNG, though, it’s shiiiiiit.

If I hadn’t been young and non-discerning when TNG came out…I’d have never managed to watch it. Let alone eagerly look forward claiming the TV in the lounge with the rest of the nerds at College.

I can’t really watch any ST these days.

I saw it all the first time around, but on re-watching I realised that most of my enjoyment of the show came from seeing how happy it made my partner of the time.

Rob’s been holding out on us. Congratulations @beschizza!

Why are all the weather people in Los Angeles such LA Story clichés?
