You know what sucks?

Kraftwerk sucks.

Yes, I realize that I should not say such things because they were a powerful on the insdustrial/synthe music of today, but you know what? They influenced the shit that SUCKS TODAY.

Also on the big list of suck-

'Einsterzende whatever-blah-blah'. In addition to having a name that is irritating to say and spell, every time they come to town I have to hear aggravating stories of what thing they smacked with what on stage to make what sound. Example=

"I just came from the 'Einterzende Over-Rated' show and they had this awesome show where they made sounds by smacking a jet turbine with an angle grinder! And then they made this one sound by taking a toaster filled with cheese burgers and smacking it against a full set of VHS copies of the first season of Momma's House!"

Look, I don't care what they smacked around on stage, the end result is still the same= Suckage.

Double goes for everyone who wants to tell me how great Throbbing Gristle is. T.G. not only sucks, but they...well, they just suck more.

If you really want to know who was great in the past and deserves your respect, as opposed to these other faded cock nabbers, I have two words for you- BIG BLACK.

Big Black rocked. Big Black didn't need to come up with crappy on stage antics to make up for lack of talent, Big Black was WITHOUT A DOUBT the ugliest group of bruisers EVER in the industrial scene and they didn't care.

Yes, I do know they had an EP where they covered a shitty Euro-Crap bands songs. It is like knowing your wife fucked the mailman but forgiving her for a momently lapse of faithfulness. I can forgive them for covering Kraftwerk songs because I love them enough to forgive them.

In other news, apologies to Rich. I have been laying on the 'acerbic asshole comments about a certain un-named 1980's group' a bit thick lately. I'm an asshole because I care. If it will make you feel better, I'll tell you what-

You can totally go punch a stranger on the street next time you see them. Just be like "It's cool man, I cleared it with Zac"

They'll totally understand.
