My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult - Spooky Tricks (2014)

 

I saw these guys last summer with one "DJ Toxic Rainbow" at a crappy little club with shit acoustics. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, totally unplanned, but when I saw that they were playing I said "what the hell." After all, I spent a fair chunk of my teenage years digging into WaxTrax! bands and signees of Trent Reznor's Interscope housed Nothing imprint as a result of my love for the early work of Nine Inch Nails and Ministry.

Seeing them triggered some nostalgic urge to check out their more recent recordings, and even though the camp and cheese are more present than ever, I can't help the fact that I genuinely enjoy this kind of music. I can see how it's influenced many of the current generation's more tongue in cheek, pseudo electronic artists like Tobacco/Black Moth Super Rainbow, Octopus Project, Dan Deacon and (my beloved) Fuck Buttons and Black Bug.

It's like... well, remember when White Zombie was actually a pretty good band? Before Rob Zombie started making music exclusively for the Ozzfesy crowd, ignoring his dance-floor pedigrees and trading in synths for a backing band that amounted to little more than a bush league imitation of Antichrist Superstar era Marilyn Manson? ... well, MLWTTKK is kinda like that. Only with the new-wavey noire vocals of KMFDM.

There's a lot to like about this album, if not a great deal to *love.* It makes for a good listen that takes me back to the archaeological investigations of industrial dance that followed the breakout success of The Downward Spiral: a record that came out at the perfect time, when alt rock was fading into purposeless post-grunge monotony.

... Probably not a particularly popular band on this board, but y'know, fuck it. It's good shit.

MLWTTKK were always one of my fave bizarre bands back in the early 90's their shows were insane! Confessions of a Knife and Sexxxplosion are some of my all time faves

and a couple of other bits of shit for what was a bizarrely low price of $60 (in aus. at least).

Fuck yeah! I actually truly enjoyed early White Zombie too, but they never had a fully realized industrial sound. I have respect for Rob as a filmmaker, but the man's music has been awful for eons now.

Nothing like the culty horror noire of MLWTTKK and KMFDM and Ministry and Pig and so on. I went through a serious industrial dance kick in the '90s. I still love Pretty Hate Machine so much, schmaltz and all.

Well, I made a haul yesterday.

First off, I found a *perfect* used copy of the 2007 "Collector's Edition" of U Unknown Pleasures, which (before going out of print) contained the full 7-13-79 show at the Factory in Manchester.

 

Then, it was pure coincidence that J happened upon a used copy of the new Deerhoof album, La Isla Bonita. Well worth the money. Then I got a deal, and was able to completely rebuild my J Dilla discography, which has been entirely
iTunes-based since the great car break-in of 2010. So I'm back with physical copies of The Shining & Ruff Draft, and most inportantly Donuts.

Also deluxe reissue of CHRIST - The Album, which is balls out of course.

Going to take my sweet time with this:

Still have my original I got new as a teenager.
Love it even more now than back then.
Amazing inserts; the poster was one of my favorite things on my teenage bedroom wall.
My parents thought it was hilarious.
