VNV Nation
I know this has nothing to do with Ministry, but what the hell...I saw VNV Nation on the 23rd in Cleveland, OH. They played with Dubok and Decoded Feedback. I met them as well and they're pretty cool guys. There's the latest pic of me with Mark from VNV, Ronin from VNV, Dubok and Decoded Feedback...
Paul Barker Site
This site is hilarious. Some of the quotes on this should have you smiling. Visit the Anti Paul Barker page. Thanks to Major Narcotics for this link...
Just some random stuff. Sorry for not updating recently, but there's hasn't been much to talk about. I am bombarded with 24 inches of snow in Buffalo, NY and driving bans are in effect all over the city. I gotta move...
VH1
So I take it most of you have seen the Ministry clip on VH1's "Top 100 Hard Rock Bands". I was happy to see Tool on it, as well as nin. Led Zepplin got the #1 spot, with #2 going to Black Sabbath. If you missed it, I am sure VH1 will play it again (and again).
Thanks, VH1...
Lay Lady Lay
Reza Chaudhry emailed me recently and noted that he has seen a different\ video for Lay Lady Lay from the version that was on Tapes of Wrath. Does anyone know? He watched it on Mtv a few years back...
Ministry made it on the VH1 list of Top 100 Hard Rock Bands. They were 62 and I am impressed. Never thought I would see Al Jourgensen on VH1. They showed a very short snippet of an old interview where Al talked about how he created the music. To his left was Martin Atkins.
On top of all that, Green Day talked about how Ministry were the loudest band they ever saw. Even Rob Halford (Judas Priest) was impressed with how Ministry does their own thing...
So if you missed it, I am sure they will replay it. It's 62/100..

Jello Biafra's excellant speech he presented at H2K is now online thanks to 2600. You may hear his speech here. There are more H2K panels to come.
Even though having no computer experience, Biafra talks about "corporate control of the media, the presidential election, censorship, the future of the Internet, Napster, pirate radio, online activism, and hackers".
