Touche'

All of that was pretty musical, and I can't see the appeal of watching some guy catch up on his emails standing in front of a screen full of flames.

Cool article & list.

But I don't know how these types of articles don't start with The Residents.

This is just me, but I think they'd nailed it with Throbbing Gristle. Residents were very important too though. Cheers to that.

One day when I have the strength, I will argue with u about the merits and genius of Lustmord.

I saw The Locust live once in Tampa, I really enjoyed it. The music was ok etc, but they were really into heckling the crowd and I liked their sense of humor, they weren't taking any shit. At that time they had the leather-short outfits that looked fucking awesomely ridiculous. Some dude said the singer looked liked Spock and he said something like "Blah blah you fucking jackass" and the guy couldn't handle it and as soon as they started playing the guy he called a jackass started throwing bar stools at the band and singer was like "Thanks for the chair, I need to sit down". I thought a fight was going to break out any second. Anyway, I listened to them on record and it just wasn't the same as seeing them live, so I think for this type of music, live is most likely better?

I'm not a big fan of the Locust. I've never seen them live. I've listened to their music a while back. I think it was the same time I was listening to stuff from the San Diego scene or close proximity that gave us bands like Swing Kids, Spanakorzo, etc.. Heroin. Post hardcore. fast almost incomprehensible noise stuff. Artsy. Its aight. I guess you're right. Not a lot to discern where the recorded output is concerned. You had to be there...?

PS: This is NOT my list. Its arbitrary and of taste. There are ton more worthy to make the cut. If there was a cut to be made IMO.

Lol, found a video from the show I was at, it was 17 years ago.
At 1:15 is Spock joke. It was even more edgy than I remembered.
At 2:45 first chair gets thrown. No wonder people think Floriduh is full of turds.

The music (anti-music?) was fine, but the dude on a stage with a laptop thing never works.

He was there for presence and nothing else. You could chat with him about his art, soundscapes, philosophy (atheism/Satanism) etc...

Similar to the way Rollins does DJ appearances. He doesn't lug around a box of LPs or Cds, though it would cool as shit if he did LOL

I've seen Alec MacKaye DJ, and he DOES bring along a box of old punk singles. He's got more nerve than I have. I sure as shit would not bring OG Misfits singles to my DJ set.

From the fantastic LOADED label, YELLOW SWANS

all of this is hardly 'anti-music' though, which is just an asinine way to describe things.

Speaking of DJ nights by musical celebs....I want sooo badly to see Brooklyn's own Genesis Breyer P-Orridge from Throbbing G/ P- TV, but her nights are usually always sold out well in advance. (Cue Hunter's joke about how I live in Brooklyn and still can't go see Gen P though she lives like 12 mins from me.

She's BRILLIANT, as you can see. Spins psychadelic and chats everyone up. A gentle soul. 1 in a billion. A little out there with the pandrogeny, but spot on righteous with every damn other thing she talks about. This is a GREAT lecture from the MoMA from 2017.
