Participantfredo4: Uh, okay. And that would make Black Flag a total Dead Kennedys rip off then?
Husker Du stood quite well on their own, thank you. I think if any band in that era was somewhat derivative, it was Black Flag.
Where is Dan, by the way? He never responded to my question on Skinny Puppy and Front 242 as bands that could augment Ministry. Speaking of derivative and reductionist, what the hell happened to Mininstry lately anyway? They’ve gotten so consumed with Dubya they forgot how to make good music. Overly politicized crap, IMHO. Kind of like Rage Against The Machine going all Noam Chomsky.

ParticipantDan: Yeah, I think “As you peer into the abyss, so the abyss peers back into you” is a really catchy slogan for a Realtor. Nothing like mixing nihilism with commerce.
Perhaps you could throw some Robespierre in there as well. A little Madame Guillotine for the more reticent buyers? “Pour encourager les autres” as we used to say in the counterinsurgency business.
Husker Du rocks.

Participantsocratt: I might be mistaken, but I was under the impression that the Labor Department stops counting someone as “unemployed” if they’re out of work over a year.
Also, I would be curious to see the impact of those chronically “underemployed” as well. I know of quite a few people that are working temporary assignments, or doing consulting work, and are nowhere near fully employed.
