Today it’s been exactly 27 years since Industrial/Metal band Ministry released Jesus Built My Hotrod!
Jesus Built My Hotrod was released on November 7th 1991 as the first single from their fifth studio album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs. It was written by the band's frontman Al Jourgensen, bassist Paul Barker, drummer Bill Rieflin, session keyboardist Michael Balch, and the Butthole Surfers lead singer Gibby Haynes, and was co-produced by Jourgensen and Barker. The industrial metal track features elements of rockabilly and psychobilly, and is influenced by the Trashmen 1963 hit "Surfing' Bird", and Flannery O'Connor novel Wise Blood; the song’s instrumentation is defined by its polyrhythmic structure.
The single reached No. 19 in the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart with approximately 128,000 copies sold as of mid-July 1992, preceding the later success of Psalm 69.

Lyrics
Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long
Ding dang a dong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Every time I try to do it all now baby
Am I on the run
Why why why why why baby
If it's so evil then?
Give me my time, with all my power
Give it to me all again (wow)
Ding a ding a dang a dong dong ding dong
Every where I go
Every time you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?
Ding ding dong dong dong ding dong
Dingy dingy son of a gun
Half my time I tell you baby

Every time I stick my finger on in ya
You're a wild wild little town bitch
Now how 'bout ding a dang dong dong dong ling long
Dingy a dingy dong a down
Every time you tell me baby

Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around

Today it’s exactly 29 years since Industrial/Metal band Ministry released Burning Inside!
Burning Inside (12”) was released on 7th November 1989, as the sole single from the band's 1989 album The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste. The song is featured in the intro movie of the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.
A video for the song was released in late 1989 and became a hit on MTV's 120 Minutes. The video features the band's live show with the infamous steel fence used on the 1989-1990 tour and later a live version of the song featured on In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up. Also shown in the video are a chaotic audience, a few people on fire and the band performing onstage.
In 1993 all tracks from the original 12” were re-released as part of the 3 x CD single compilation ‘Box’.

Lyrics
Will these dreams still follow me
Out of dark obscurity?
Can't you see it up in the sky
As it kicks you in the face and lets you die
You never have the answers
And now you tell me the facts of life
I really couldn't be bothered with you
Get out of my face and watch me die
Burning inside! Burning inside!
Absolution and a frozen room
Are dreams of men below
I try to grab it but the touch is hot
The mirrors collapses, but the image can not
I'm scared of darkness in a light
I scare myself cause I know I'm right
I see the evil in your savage eye
As it cuts right through the sky
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
Calling the mantra with a blade in the skin
For the demons within
I feel the pain is the death and decay
But the lesson never fades away
Too little shadows, turn away
Another man through the window pane
Another slave and a victim of fate
Another lesson in hate
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside! Burning inside!
(Allen Jourgensen / Christopher Connelly / Paul G. Barker / William Riefflin)
PROJEKT RECORDS announces the release of BLACK TAPE FOR A BLUE GIRL'S To Touch The Milky Way
Projekt Records announces "To Touch The Milky Way;" the 12th full-length release from Black Tape For a Blue Girl.
Evocative, powerful and melancholic, Black Tape’s 12th studio album expands upon their sweeping Art Rock aesthetic. Songwriter and bandleader Sam Rosenthal’s electro-acoustic atmospherics and foreboding, engaging lyricism focus the band as they enter their 32nd year with an album encompassing powerful personal and transpersonal themes.
Non-binary porn star Mercy West portrays the androgynous alien traveler in Rosenthal’s photography; the booklet contain 10 pages of striking photos the duo shot at locations throughout Oregon. “The photos externalize the feelings of isolation, alienation and longing within the lyrics,” Rosenthal says. “Mercy’s character is a stark representation of our struggles, lost within a larger self-defined world that work to limit our true nature.”
"The seven tracks on To Touch the Milky Way showcase the prominent darkwave act’s distinctively ethereal textures and haunting melodic atmospheres, led by the alluring vocals of Danielle Herrera and Michael Plaster. With chilling layers of synths, distant drums and acoustic and electric guitars that evoke the swirling and introspective ambience audiences have come to love from Black Tape for a Blue Girl."
- ReGen Magazine
“Reconnect with and reflect on the larger legacy of Black Tape For A Blue Girl’s emotive whirlwind.”
- I Die:You Die
The Godfather of Electronic Music JEAN-MICHEL JARRE (JMJ) releases his 41-track best-of PLANET JARRE!
Commemorating fifty years of music and innovation, the Godfather of Electronic Music JEAN-MICHEL JARRE (JMJ) releases his 41-track best-of PLANET JARRE today.
Providing an intimate, indispensable and inimitable overview of his storied career thus far, he personally oversaw comprehensive remastering and chose the compositions that drive this journey in four playlists: Soundscapes, Themes, Sequences and Explorations & Early Works. It's available in four configurations: vinyl, box set, deluxe CD, and standard CD. The vinyl and box set both unlock a download card for Jean-Michel Jarre in 5.1, granting the most immersive listening possible and perfect for audiophiles.
Beyond classics and unearthed rarities from the vault, the collection notably remains highlighted by two brand new recordings. "Herbalizer" enchants and entrances with its wondrously warm production as the previously released "Coachella Opening" transports audiences into the front row of his most recent Electronica World Tour—which fittingly launched with the icon's first-ever Coachella performance.
However, PLANET JARRE only set the stage for further innovation of the Godfather or Electronic Music. On 16th November 2018, JARRE unveils EQUINOXE INFINITY—the long-awaited sequel to his landmark fourth album, EQUINOXE. The first EQUINOXE notably arrived forty years prior to the date on 16th November 1978 and since remained essential listening for music aficionados. The idea behind this brand-new album is very much driven by humanity using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and what will become of human mankind by doing so.
The legend just uncovered the album artwork created by Filip Hodas, which plays off the now-iconic image of the original.
"In days where vinyl is coming back big time, artwork deserves more attention," JMJ says. "The cover of EQUINOXE has always been one of my favourites. Are these strange creatures watching us? Watching space? Watching machines? Watching a natural phenomenon? We don't really know. They're not scary, but odd and mysterious. So, I took the original 'Watchmen' of the EQUINOXE cover to continue the story. Filip Hodas is a super talented young artist who I asked to create two different pieces in line with my vision. One cover shows mankind at peace with nature and technology and the other depicts a picture of fear and distortion with machines taking over the world. With these two, I want to bring attention to two scenarios we are facing today with our love for and our dependence on innovation and technology. The music of EQUINOXE INFINITY is the soundtrack to those two different worlds."
Speaking of the music, he precedes the arrival of the new album with "THE WATCHERS (Movement One)". The track formally welcomes fans into this new realm as it maintains his penchant for pushing the envelope and charting new territory.
JEAN-MICHEL JARRE is a 2017 Grammy nominee, with more than eighty million albums sold throughout his career, a four-time Guinness World Record holder for largest concerts ever performed, and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador renowned for his one-off groundbreaking events at historical landmarks across the world. He's one of the first artists in the world to perform electronic music as we know it today.
