Ministry

Ministry’s Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker are putting the finishing touches on the latest Ministry album, according to Jourgensen, the final album.

“Looking forward to how this new and FINAL Ministry record comes out,” stated Jourgensen. “Turns out working with Paul is like riding a bike; you never forget how. Buckle up, this is going to be a good one. It seems that everything has come full circle, with the re-inclusion of Paul for the FINAL record, it’s like wrapping a bow on a 40-plus-year career.”

Barker played in ministry from 1986 through 2003, making his one of the longest-standing, if not the longest-standing member aside from Jourgensen. He co-wrote many of the albums, including The Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs,

Barker said in relation to the project, “After a couple years apart, these new recording sessions started in our tried-and-true manner: we started going in opposite directions that circled around which inevitably forced us to meet in the middle, much like a particle accelerator!”

In March of this year, Ministry released Hopiumforthemasses, and they just finished a summer tour with Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper.

Godsmack

Sully Erna from Godsmack said to Blabbermouth.net that the latest Godsmack album would likely be their last new album. Thy plan on focusing on their current catalog, which contains 27 top tens. It’s actually more than they can play in a given show,m as they usually top off at `15 songs in a show. Erna also laments the days when people bought full albums, instead of singles to put on a playlist.

Blabbermouth got this from Sully, “No. There’ll be no more new GODSMACK… I mean, you can never predict the future, but the decision that was made was that we’re gonna go out now and start honoring the catalog of music that we created over the last 30 years and just enjoy kind of the greatest-hits moments.”

To Meltdown, Sully said, “I mean, it sounds like the smart thing to do these days. Nobody’s really buying full albums anymore. And they make playlists of their favorite songs. So it just seems appropriate for this day and age. But again, [that’s] another argument for us to kind of dip out while we’re still in the world that we enjoyed growing up in, which was doing full-length albums and having artwork and lyrics and give the fans a whole experience through that body of work that you create. And I just no longer wanna put a year, year and a half of my time and effort and blood, sweat and tears into a piece of art for someone to just tear it apart, grab a couple of singles and move on. So, there’s that. And then there’s just the fact that we have a lot of singles right now. I mean, 27 Top Tens is a lot. That means we can’t even play them all in one night, ’cause we usually average about 15 songs a night. So for us, I just think it’s time that we start honoring the music and the catalog and giving the fans what they wanna hear.”

Juniper – Interview – Thanks for Asking! by Liam Sweeny

Juniper – Interview – Thanks for Asking! by Liam Sweeny.

RRX: Stereotypes are a bitch. I mean, aside from the really bad ones, you have cultural stereotypes about everything, including music.  Would do you think is the stereotype for the music you play, and how far are you away from it?

Juniper: I love the quote, “what other people think of me is none of my business.” The worst thing you can do as a musician is fall into the trap of caring what others think. It will affect how you play, what you play, the words you write, and how you present yourself. It’s a slippery slope that will make you overthink everything. As a result, you will not be your most authentic self. We all have done it and our output was worse for it. If someone wants to put my music and characteristics into a stereotype, that’s up to them. I don’t take myself that seriously.

RRX: What do you think is the most dangerous song to cover from the perspective of criticism? Who do you think is too hard to cover, and why?

Juniper: I’m very self-critical with most of the songs I cover because they mean so much to me. I do a cover of Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. People who love that song are seeking an emotional connection and waiting for their heart strings to be pulled. I feel a responsibility to give it my all in order to provoke that level of feeling that transcends a typical cover. I don’t think any artist is too difficult to cover if you are making the song your own. You just have to accept that you aren’t Joni Mitchell and roll with it. I always ask myself, how can I make this my own? If I can successfully take a song and tell the story from my own perspective in a way that feels believable to the audience, then I’ll keep playing it.

RRX: We all get a little support from those around us. And we also can be impressed by our fellow performers. Who do you admire in your community, and why?

Juniper: My partner inspires me everyday. Anyone who knows Chris Carey can attest that he is such a gifted musician. He can pick up any instrument and make it sound good with a versatility in genres that you don’t come across often. One day he will be teaching a kid how to hold their drumsticks and then zooming over to play the keys with Family Tree. The next day he will be playing traditional Irish music and then running home to produce an album for a client. Very few are lucky enough to find their true purpose in this lifetime. He has dedicated his life to the arts and the world is a better place for it.

RRX: Playing out is tricky because you never know what’s going to happen when you get there. Sometimes everything goes wrong. What was your worst show like?

Juniper: I haven’t had a “worst show” but I will say playing out is like a bag of trail mix. You have no idea what you’re going to get. Sometimes it’s the equipment that fails you. Sometimes it’s the patrons. Sometimes it’s the management at venues. One time a guy pulled an antique dagger out of his jacket after a gig just to “show me.” Not kidding. Another time a guy brought his guitar up in between songs and asked me where the sign up sheet was. He thought it was an open mic night. I witnessed a woman throw her drink in the bartender’s face and then yell at the top of her lungs to everyone in the restaurant while she was escorted out. That made it pretty awkward for me to land the Sheryl Crow plane. Another time a venue hired me to play and they didn’t actually have a place for me to play, so I turned around and went home. The most discouraging kind of night is when a piece of my equipment fails because that’s beyond my control. When I first started playing out, my PA system blew. I was inexperienced and mortified, but eager to finish my set. The restaurant let me finish the last 2 hours acoustic and luckily the venue was small enough to do so. When something unpredictable happens, it better prepares you for the next scenario. You gig, you learn!

RRX: Artists, musicians, we immortalize. We set it in stone. Is there anyone who has passed that you feel you have immortalized in your work? If so, can you tell us a little about them?”

Juniper: I adore Eva Cassidy’s work. She was known for her emotive voice and breathtaking covers. She was also a fantastic guitar player. She died way too young and never saw her music lift off or the lasting impact it had on future generations. In a short amount of time she recorded such quality material while staying true to herself. I resonate with Eva because it’s often only me and my guitar playing covers at local restaurants, just like she did. She is proof that a cover can have just as much meaning as the original if you put your heart into it. She made the most in such a brief amount of time doing what she loved. She inspires me to make the most of every day and every idea.

RRX: It’s a lot of fun living in the present, but we all collect memories and give birth to dreams. We’re talking dreams here. Where you see yourself next year? In the next five years?

Juniper: I want to keep finding myself and improving as a musician. Specifically, I want to become a better guitar player. I’m a fine rhythm player but I want to take things to the next level. I’ve never had a formal music lesson and I’m making it a goal to learn more about the theory behind what I’m doing. Currently I’m dreaming of new projects, original music, and an EP happening in the near future.

The Night We Saved Rock N' Roll

The Night We Saved Rock N’ Roll… Almost – An Xperience Story – by Rob Skane.

Three friends, none of us known for our decision-making skills, tried to save rock n’ roll. While the mission wasn’t completed, we got our point across, pretty sure… Are you sitting down?

There may or may not have been a band that sang something along the lines of “… you can still rock in America …” and we all agree that was noble sentiment in 1983 or whenever that tripe was infecting our precious FM radio waves.

My friends and I were still living aurally large off of the fat of the new wave/punk rock/power pop land. We loved it loud, for damn sure. And then it all stopped, for us anyway. One afternoon, this absolute poison came spewing out of the Radio Shack car stereo speakers that I had painstakingly installed in the 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88. We were mortified. We were livid. And we were afraid. Me, Fang, and Paul almost shed tears the first time we heard the band that may or may not have been called Night Ranger. It was appalling and we had to make a stand.

I mean, we were listening to Nick Lowe, Cheap Trick, Marshall Crenshaw, Graham Parker, and all of those lovely one-hit, 867-5309 wonders. Even the Stones were still tolerable … sorta.

Then, out of the blue, opportunity knocked. One of the guitar yabbos from the band that may or may not have been called Night Ranger was coming to our town to do a guitar clinic. I was like, “I dunno, Chuck Berry records and ‘KISS Alive 1’ were MY guitar clinic,” but who am I to judge?

The guitar clinic took place at a local music store that specialized in ripping off unsuspecting teenage dudes who wanted the shiniest and the pointiest guitars ever (very poorly) made. But I digress – or do I?

We found out that after the guitar clinic, Plastic Soul Brother number 1 would be brought to a local watering hole to mix and mingle. And of course, we planned to be there. He seemed pretty cool, to be honest. But he was the enemy.

As luck would have it, it started to snow and snow. Fueled by jealousy, spite, Molson Golden, and misguided testicular fortitude, we came up with a plan. Snowballs. I know … but it made sense at the time. Really.

It was cold, dark, and snowing like it ain’t no thang. So, we put on our coats and headed outside. Making snowball after snowball and laughing our asses off as we hid behind cars and waited. Our beer muscles and black beauty reflexes were poised and ready for maximum rock n’ roll vindication. And when we noticed our person of interest exit the building with his three or four local jock-sniffing pretend pals, we unloaded. It was glorious. Direct hit after direct hit. There were some spectacular near misses too. All the better to startle you with, I guess.

Best part was, the dudes ran! They didn’t even attempt to engage with us. We were stealthy though. It was too dark for us to be seen. We pelted these dudes left, right, and sideways and they ran away. Johnny Thunders would have chased us!! Rory Gallagher would have fought us!! But the Knights In Satan’s Spandex ran. Typical.

The band that may or may not have been called Night Ranger sold about 11 zillion records, I think. Clearly, me, Fang, and Paul failed. But we tried. We really did try.

In 2011, Thompson received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. The Los Angeles Times called him “the finest rock songwriter after Dylan and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix” and Rolling Stone has named him one of the Top 100 Guitarists of All Time.

Week Forty-One: Jesse Sample’s Freak of the Week “Making Chambers”

NEW TIME, SAME DAY: Jesse Sample’s Freak of the Week will NOW AIR at 6pm EASTERN on Wednesdays ONLY on RadioRadioX.com!

This is Jesse Sample. When we write songs, we create rooms and we exist in those spaces. We take impressions from these rooms and we seek to express ourselves in these spaces.

When I listen to the music of my heroes, I exist in their world and I learn about how I feel. When I listen to Type O Negative, it’s always a crisp October night. When I listen to David Bowie, I’m always in outer space. And when I listen to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, I’m always in California, or perhaps Michigan.

Some nights it’s a bar with neon signs and others it’s a Baroque era Opera house. Maybe it’s in my Aunt’s living room or in my in-laws kitchen. What is it for you? Does a certain song bring you back to a homecoming dance or to a post-funeral trip to the bar?

This week, I spent a little time exploring some of the lesser-known rooms in my subconscious mind. Always a revealing time

Thanks to all of you listening to RadioRadioX. This is the Freak of the Week, “Making Chambers”

Trading a Paperclip

Trading a Paperclip for a House – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny.

Kyle McDonald is a hero. Or perhaps the most expert negotiator in the world. He could trade a chance encounter on a bus into a marriage faster than you can say pre-nup. The reason I say this is because he managed an amazing feat of trading: he traded a red paperclip for a house.

Well, it wasn’t one trade, it was fourteen trades. That’s what makes it great. He started by trading the paperclip for a pen that looked like a fish, then that for a handmade doorknob, then that for a camp stove, then a 100 watt generator, then an empty keg and a Budweiser sign, then a snowmobile (from a radio station), then an afternoon with Alice Cooper, then a KISS snowglobe, then a paid role in a Corbin Bernsen movie, then, finally, a two-story famnhouse in rural Canada.

This was all because he didn’t want a job. I would argue that he has more than enough skill to get a job in sales.

I know what you’re thinking: why I didn’t I think of this first? Me too, me too. I imagine that when you tell people that you’re trying to trade a paperclip for a house, they probably give you cooler sh*t just to be a part of it.

This is just a really feel-good story for me. Like how anything is possible. In fact, couldn’t we all do this anyways? Does Kyle McDonald have to be the only one? I have a Fender finger exerciser, it’s got springs and you push your fingers down on it to strengthen them up. Who will trade me? What will you trade it for? It’s got to be more valuable to someone else, but something don’t really need or want, that’s the trick.

And I’ll trade you a die-cast muscle car, a pretty big one. I got a few.
