Throbbing Gristle

[ed miliband]

Any fans? This band were described as the 'wreckers of civilizations' by a Tory MP in the 80s. The music speaks for itself: industrial music for industrial people, but none of the Marilyn Manson shite.

Do you like Coil, PTV, C93, etc.? I know C93 get accused of racism, but having spoken personally to David Tibet (and people who know him well) I don't think that's the case. He's also a big fan of the Diggers, the Ranters, etc..

yeah I like a lot of that stuff.

There is a lot of controversy. I don't know if Tibet went as far as Boyd Rice, but there's certainly something in the music and the tradition it comes from that the far-right also draws on, the folk mysticism, the occult, swastika symbolism, etc. Death in June, who he's associated with, are more into that kind of thing though iirc.

They were a bit wierd. When I lived in London I had a friend who had lived next in the same street as Gen and Cosy in Hackney. The didn't let their kids play with the weird people's kids.
