Should I be worried about my severe Throbbing Gristle obsession? Also, general TG thread.
No but if you start getting into Psychic TV, then it might be time to worry
At least you aren't a tripfrog that shows up in a TG thread just on the basis to associate his identity with the band for shallow narcissistic reasons.
Embrace your passion. Maybe look into creative forces.

I dig like 30% of their albums quite a bit. Their videos and live acid house performances. There's plenty of gems there if you look hard enough. TG = way superior tho

I find all the non-music stuff surrounding PTV way more interesting than the music itself. It's all this self-help advice wrapped up in crazy occult stuff. I'm reading through The Psychick Bible at the moment and it's inspiring me to start doing creative shit.

No it's great,
listen to Einstürzende Neubauten also if you don't already
Should I listen to their albums in chronological order or is there a better starting point?
>>60929195
where can I find some of that?
>>60929195
That's a hell of a read, passed it onto a friend recently.
>>60929041
should i be worried yet?
>>60929195
Do you have any links?
>>60929290
depends how far-out you like it (??)
>>60929290
I would say read about them first

Just buy it off amazon it's the price of any normal big book. Doubt you'd regret it, it's clearly where P-Orridge put the majority of his focus when he was in psychic TV. Not in the music thats for sure

I meant the other non-music PTV stuff, I've heard weird things about the videos

Some of First Transmission is on youtube, directed by Sleazy so you might have an idea of what to expect, content-wise

So I looked up a video of Coil from the early 80's and it was them mutilating themselves in some sort of odd performance art. I've read that they were really into sexual imagery and mutilation which the gay thing is obvious because of the two members being gay but it was really odd in the video I'll try to find it

Here we go, what the shit is this, is there something I'm not getting?
