ministry - twitched
released: 2003
label: radioactive
i'm not sure if'n it's old age or i'm becoming more tolerant of things but lately i've been kind of digging on some early ministry. i actually prefer it to anything they've released after FILTH PIG.
in my opinion the harder edged version of ministry started showing itself on the TWITCH album (you can hear it in "just like you" and "over the shoulder" and "where you at now?/crash and burn/twitch (version 2)" just to name a few examples).
"but bro? what about THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY,bro? to me that's where they started coming into their own. just listen to-"
THE LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY had to come from somewhere....and TWITCH was it.
what this is bringing to the table is the original mix of the TWITCH album (tracks 1-8) and the OVER THE SHOULDER 12" (tracks 10-12) and a version of the song "the angel" that was meant for a 7" but was never released.

conan neutron and the secret friends - protons and electrons
released: 2019
label: seismic wave entertainment
you probably recognize the name conan neutron. he's been interviewed by SGM. we've backed all of his endeavors (replicator/mount vicious/victory and associates/him wanting to enter every chili cook-off he hears about). the story between SGM and mr. neutron goes back a-ways....
i was just about ready to leave the office one night when something came crashing through the front door's window. at first i thought it was a brick wrapped in bubble wrap because we'd been having some problems with the neighbors. so the plan was that i was going to scoop up the brick and fire it back through the window in hopes that it would hit the person the tossed it through because when someone throws something at something they feel the need to stick around to see what happens. some people's kids,man. so i picked up the brick and was getting ready to toss it when i felt it move. i stopped and eyeballed it. did i feel it move? didn't i feel it move? and that's when i felt something wrap itself around my finger. it was a tiny hand. i took the thing into the break room and put it on a table. whatever was in there was trying to get out. i'd seen the movie ALIEN so i knew what was going to happen next so i put my face closer to it. whatever was in there was having a problem with trying to escape and i was quickly losing interest and just wanted to go home and catch FRIENDS. i picked it up and started to unwrap it and the next thing i saw was something that looked like a troll doll with the eyes of a puppy. all i could do was look at it. i was captured by its eyes. and then it appeared to be choking so i gave it some pats on the backside amd then it spoke..."i wanna rock" it said and then looked as if it were playing an invisible guitar. so to make a not so long story short: that was the moment i'd decided that i would raise it as my own. i didn't give it a name because i thought that maybe it would want to pick one out itself. it lived in a drawer at my desk until it was ready to go out on its own. i fashioned him an outfit out of a brown paper bag and took it to the bus station because it felt that it had to go out west. it left on that bus with the understanding that it had to come back one day so i could know everything that it had achieved. fast forward a few years later and i'm taking my mid-morning nap on the hammock i have in my office when this guy comes walking in with a guitar strapped to his back. "hello. i'm conan neutron." he says and the rest is history.
*roll credits*
and now for conan neutron and his secret friends.
once upon a time (the) melvins had released a single every month for a year and then they put all of those singles onto 2 compact discs and called it SINGLES 1-12.
that's kinda sorta what this is like.
it's splits with conan neutron and the secret friends.
disc 1 is made up of one half of the split (aka conan neutron and the secret friends).
disc 2 is made up on the other half of the split (aka the other bands)
understand?
ya dig?
"just who are some of these other bands?"
they have names like: trophy wives and nonagon and reptoid and cartographer and (the) dale crover band.
i should mention that that dale crover guy is totally double dipping.
not only does he have something on disc 2 but he's also all over disc 1 (he's one of the secret friends).
and this is the part of the show where you should prepare yourself for some straight up good ol' fashioned rock AND roll.
there's none of that half-assed shit here,kids.

al cisneros - ark procession / jericho
released: 2014
label: drag city
you probably recognize that name. yeah. it's the singer/bassist for the band sleep. but you're not going to find any sleep here,kids (though this is nice to listen to through a pair of headphones as you're trying to go to sleep). this is at the other side of the spectrum. it's closer to om (but even not so much). this is more like some ambient dub music (but don't let that scare you away). this is probably what's going on inside of his head while he standing in front of the microphone doing his bass thing with his eyes closed. this is a different kind of trip.

the dillinger escape plan w/ mike patton - 12.31.02 - great american music hall - san francisco,ca
considering that most of you have already heard IRONY IS A DEAD SCENE i'm not really going to go into how awesome it is or how they should've just kept mike patton on as their singer (i'm just not really a fan of greg puciato...even though he has a tendency to sound like mike patton every so often).
so without further ado...
it's IRONY IS A DEAD SCENE +2
1 - malpractice (faith no more cover)
2 - hollywood squares
3 - pig latin
4 - come to daddy (aphex twin cover)
5 - when good dogs do bad things
6 - like i love you (justin timberlake cover)

discordance axis - original sound version 1992-1995
released: 1998
label: devour
welcome to the world of discordance axis. make yourself comfortable. it's going to be quite a ride. "clusterfuck" would be a good way to describe them. "chaotic precision" would be another.
3 people.
no bass player.
vocalist jon chang.
guitar player rob marton.
drummer dave witte.
some of you may already be familiar with discordance axis.
some of you may not be.
"picture seth putnam from anal cunt fronting old school napalm death but they play with the precision of early daughters." -some guy
if'n i were you....i'd take some guy's word.
he seems to know what he's talking about.
just don't take his vacation spot recommendations.
do you think your parents really want to see the world's biggest glory hole?
no,some guy,i haven't forgot about that.
and neither have my parents.
but i digress....
this is made up of stuff that can be found on some splits and some live stuff and some covers and some of this and that and the other.
and if'n you're interested: after discordance axis split up jon chang went onto be in the bands hayaino daisuki and gridlink and no one knows what the dead think (along with guitarist rob marton).

white zombie - psycho-head blowout
released: 1987
label: silent explosion records
"white zombie is like if the misfits had gone to art school." -some guy

dave wyndorf of monster magnet interviewed by sean yseult of white zombie
released: 1995
label: a&m records
even though monster magnet hasn't really been mentioned around these here parts (or at all) i'm sure that you more than likely know who they are. they named a marvel superhero ("negasonic teenage warhead"). there was probably a time back in '98 when you'd turn on the radio in your car and you'd maybe here "spacelord mutha mutha". ringing any bells? yes? no? well music-wise they could share the stage with early soundgarden or karma to burn or kyuss or early white zombie....
and speaking of white zombie....their bass player is the one interviewing mr. wyndorf (in case you hadn't already put that together for yourself). what can be said about white zombie? the last good album they released was LA SEXORCISTO: DEVIL MUSIC VOL. 1 (but everyone knows that). rob zombie is a trailer park al jourgensen (everyone probably knows that too). if you were around in the 90's you know who white zombie are/were.
so with that being said.....
this was a promo that the band's label put out (possibly for their DOPES TO INFINITY album). you get the interview as well as a few songs (the above mentioned "negasonic teenage warhead" along with an edited version of "look to your orb for warning" and a remix of "look to your orb for warning" done by bill laswell).
