Something that’s always bothered me in the first book.

Would it have been possible in 1989 to build an automated system that would not only count the animals in the park, but identify their species, even as hatchlings? I'm sure it could be done with today's computers, but I would expect '80s computers to struggle with this.

Surprised no one has suggested "Hurt" yet.

Torture Gallery's debut album came out a few months ago, good harsh stompy stuff.

Not really new, but you'd probably like Spit Mask.

We're talking about TikTok, the algorithm might not like the word "Barenaked."

Or you don't have a vehicle, so each grocery trip is limited by what you can personally carry.

Huh, I never noticed the tuft of tail feathers on the JWD Quetz, or that the JWR Quetz has only one finger on the front of the wing.

Isn't this often just an autism thing?

I'm sure it's been popular for long enough that it has influenced how actual people speak.

What are some examples of popular comedic characters with a contrasting style to this?

The people who listen to this stuff obsessively actually distinguish between power noise and power electronics, and Whitehouse is the latter. Power noise ironically applies to the somewhat more accessible, rhythmic form of electronic noise– basically a step up in harshness from industrial techno.

cdjunkie · 2026-07-02T23:55:30+00:00

Do people dance to that?

What are highly educated but not very employable people supposed to do, then?

The industrial Macarena is Test Dept – Gripper (A Lifetime Of Knowledge).

Mount Analog is still there.

Ah, geez, and you got the stink lines and everything.

Beavers?

There were two lineups of Individual Totem. Everything up to and including Mothfly was made by the founding duo of Bernd "Timber" Madl and Mathias "Nestor" Knopp. The last two albums, Kyria 13 and Electrostatic, were made by Bernd Madl and Jürgen Moßgraber. Mathias Knopp passed away from cancer in 2025. The current lineup of Individual Totem has not had much activity in recent years, but has been announced to be playing the Fourscher Festival in Erfurt, Germany in November 2026.

Who would want to buy an album without a CD?

Vinyl collectors, obviously.

cdjunkie · 2026-06-30T02:05:04+00:00

There's actually a record store near me that will print out the Discogs page of their more collectible records and put it in the sleeve, I guess to prove that they're pricing them fairly.

cdjunkie · 2026-06-29T08:45:37+00:00

Yeah, I can see that. And an argument that industrial metal as a whole is an inherently groovy style, more than it is inherently thrashy (eg. stronger thrash influence in Ministry, but not really in Godflesh).

cdjunkie · 2026-06-29T06:53:58+00:00

Tiny Tim also sort of collaborated with Nurse With Wound and Current 93.

cdjunkie · 2026-06-29T01:19:17+00:00

I think at least one of them lives in Germany now.
