Elton John - Greatest Discovery
God do I hate those days where you just can't stop thinking of them... it hurts way to fuckin' much. But like I've been told, and as I'll tell again: The pain never stops, that is how we remember them.

I said it on MySpace and I'll say it here... when did you start listening to Einsturzende Neubauten
(I hate having to spell there name... me and my friend once made a shirt that had the little sticker figure guy with the dot in the head. You couldn't see the figure in the light but it glowed when you turned off the lights. Well we were almost done spelling out the name and we noticed we spelt it wrong... heh)
Anyways, kickin' shit man... you got good taste in music!
KMFDM... only industrial anyone in the office likes, oh Jason also like Thrill Kill Kult, so I can play that too.
[EDIT]Funny thing is Frank still wears it cause no one really notices that its spelt wrong... actually they really wonder what in God's name it is and why he glows in the dark.
He is sooooo cute. Well I think its a he, it looks like a person... with a hole in their head. Or maybe cyclops or something... yeah cool Cyclops is cool.

Oh dear god, I just located an OLD ass mix CD of mine... couldn't tell what it is, so I popped it in. I am on the second track and I can't believe what it is, ughhh
Electric Hellfire Club: Book of Lies
AGH! This band is uber satan worshipping trash... kinda funny to listen too though.
God I was a dork back in middle school, other junk on this mix CD:
Die Krupps (oh dear god...)
Front Line Assembly (still the shit bro, great band)
Thrill Kill Kult (take em' or leave em')
A bunch of Dark Industrial, that borderlining with Black Metal/Goth crap... what was wrong with me?
and surprisingly a track of Einsturzende! heh...
Funny thing: I actually took the 8 or so hours it probably took to burn this thing on one of those old single speed burners that my friend John had. heh.

E-N is one of my new favorites. The spelling of that name is crazy, from what I gather is is spelled "Einstürzende Neubauten" and if you can't make the 'u' with the two dots, then it is "Einstuerzende Neubauten". I liked that figure too, it is defintely shirt-worthy.
Dud the fag-a-muffin!? I take offense to that, although I guess I deserve it because I was just listening to Daft Punk's Discovery album...
Yep, all my mix cds from middleschool had mostly crap on them too. I threw them all out a long time ago, I think I even smashed one or two with a hammer. There is one Black Metal band I still like though--Dimmu Borgir, just because it is more melodic than most metal. I consider them more satanic than gothic, which is a little bit better in my book :/ Not by much though. I got rid of all my downloaded music too, to force myself to start buying CDs, but I kind of miss my 10 days of music sometimes...

Homework has some good tracks (around the world is just so damn catchy!) but Discovery is there best so far. They only have three albums anyway:
Homework
Discovery
Human After All (the new one)
Human After All is good! Really fun to listen too, it is just not as good as their earlier stuff. What I always liked about Daft Punk was it was techno but with progression in the song (you know that techno problem where its the same loop beginning to end). In there old stuff it ranged a lot from beginning to end. This new one loops a lot. Like the track "Robot Rock" is great but its the SAME damn thing for 5 minutes... ba dun dang dang "robots" ba dun dang dang "ROCK" ba dun dang dang "robots" repeat for ever...
What would you expect though, it is said the album was made in 3 or 4 weeks. A lot of Daft fans are thinking that as the album was leaked like 6 months before release that the band just put this together real quick to cover up what they are really working on. But then its probably just fans making excuses for their beloved fav band... like me... I love em' a lot.

I'm a big EN fan too, although I probably listen to the likes of Skinny Puppy, TKK, or especially Front 242 more (Front 242 rules!).
Also, since we're talking about industrial and weird rock stuff, any Psychic TV fans here? One of my all time favorite bands.
One more thing ... not to be pedantic, but Daft Punk is NOT techno! That's not to say they're bad, I'm a fan, heh... I saw an 18" Daft Punk robot figure at this shop in portland and I almost bought it even though it was like $150.

What would you call Daft Punk?
I just call it techno because I can't think of anything to call it... this genre naming sometimes gets REALLY hard.

G-P Orridge has also been involved w/Pigface and Thee Majesty. The reason I mentioned Psychic TV is because I prefer the output of that band to TG's stuff. However, PTV also covers a pretty wide range/from good to crap. I'd particularly recommend a lot of the Live albums and some of the acid house stuff, like Jack the Tab and the Infinite Beat records. Avoid Trip Reset and Kondole, however.
I agree with you about the sometimes-ridiculousness of electronic music genres, but at the same time some coherency is needed, because calling DP techno is like calling Metallica surf rock. Anyway, most of Daft Punk's stuff is usually grouped under the French house heading, although their output varies quite a bit and that label also has a lot to do with how influential they were to the French house sound, rather than their representing the sound itself. They have also done some more electro-type stuff.
If you want to hear some 'techno techno', check out the likes of Jeff Mills, Plastikman, Juan Atkins, Christian Varela, Cari Lekebusch, Steve Stoll, T-1000, Derrick May, (most) Laurent Garnier, etc.

And what you listed for techno is WHY I generally don't like it.
Peter Gabriel: I don't Remember
now this is some good ol' stuff!
[ADD]
Ah, got to change the shit up!
Outkast: Ghetto Musik
yeah yeah yeah, I like some rap... Outkast is just great stuff.
