The first artist I’m going to spotlight is the influential and highly respected band Killing Joke, Download Subscribe (iTunes) This week’s mix is a little different, in that for every forth mix I’m going to do an artist spotlight. The first artist I’m going to spotlight is the influential and highly respected band Killing Joke, one of my all time favorites. Killing Joke got their start in 1978 by vocalist Jaz Coleman, guitarist Geordie Walker, bassist Youth (later replaced by Paul Raven), and drummer Paul Ferguson (who left the band in 1985 and return in 2008). From the beginning they found a niche’ between the British Punk and emerging New Wave scenes and along the way created a sound and playing style unique to themselves. Over their long and at times self-destructive career this band has been named as an major influence by a multitude of bands ranging from Metallica to Nirvana to Nine Inch Nails. For more information checkout the entry on Wikipedia, it gives an excellent overview of the many phases Killing Joke has gone through during their 30+ year history together. Also to be released sometime in 2011 is a documentary about the band called The Death and Resurrection Show. For those looking to add Killing Joke to you collection here is my top 10 to get you started: Playlist Requiem From “Killing Joke” 1980 The Great Cull From “Absolute Dissent” 2010 Blood on Your Hands From “Killing Joke” 2003 Love Like Blood From “The Gathering” 2008 Empire Song From “” 1982 The Wait From “” 2005 Democracy From “Democracy” 1996 Wardance From “Killing Joke” 1980 Money Is Not Our God From “Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions” 1990 Gratitude From “Hosanna and The Basement of Hell” 2006 Follow the Leaders From “What’s THIS for..?” 1981 Nuclear Boy From “” 2006 Eighties From “Night Time” 1985 Tension From “What’s THIS for..?” 1981 Millennium From “Pandemonium” 1994 The Death and Ressurection Show From “Killing Joke” 2003 Invocation From “Hosanna and The Basement of Hell” 2006 Primative From “Killing Joke” 1980 Ruinednation no 1:31:03 http://www.ruinednation.com/podcast/ruinedcast-dirty-harry-vs-the-pistol-packing-momma-vs-redneck-zombies-2132011/ http://www.ruinednation.com/podcast/ruinedcast-dirty-harry-vs-the-pistol-packing-momma-vs-redneck-zombies-2132011/#comments Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:19:10 +0000 Eric Johnson http://www.ruinednation.com/?p=144 http://www.ruinednation.com/podcast/ruinedcast-dirty-harry-vs-the-pistol-packing-momma-vs-redneck-zombies-2132011/feed/ 0 Download - Subscribe (iTunes) This week's mix is all about rockabilly, classic country, blues, zombies, and a story of bromance with Dirty Harry and Merle Haggard. - “Hillbillies on Speed” (from “Rev It Up With Taz“) – Hillbilly Hellcats - Download Subscribe (iTunes) This week's mix is all about rockabilly, classic country, blues, zombies, and a story of bromance with Dirty Harry and Merle Haggard. “Hillbillies on Speed” (from “Rev It Up With Taz“) – Hillbilly Hellcats “Galaxy 500” (from “Lucky 7“) – Reverend Horton Heat “Heading to the Disco” (from“Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill″) – Horrorpops “Plastic Jesus” (from “Something in Japanese“) – The Flametrick Subs “Oilfield Blues” (from “Zero Miles to Empty“) – Mike Holt and The Trophy 500's “Boppin' the Blues” (from “The Complete Sun Singles“) – Carl Perkins “That's All Right” (from “Elvis At Sun“) – Elvis Presley “Pistol Packing Mama” (from “Going Down to Memphis“) – "Dr Feelgood" Potts “I'll Go Down Swinging” (from “Sign Along with Los Straightjackets“) – Los Straightjackets “Lord's Prayer” (from “Return of Eve“) – Devil Doll “I Don't Care (If Tomorrow Never Comes)” (from “The Best of Hank Williams“) – Hank Williams “Epidemic” (from “Essential Schlong“) – 3 Finger Spread “Dail Z. for Zombie” (from “Liberated") – Mad Marge and The Stonecutters “Dearly Departed” (from “Run For Your Life“) – The Creepshow “Belshazzar” (from “The Complete Sun Singles, Vol. 2“) – Johnny Cash “The Grand Ole Opry (Ain't So Grand)” (from “Damn Right, Rebel Proud“) – Hank III “Hello Walls” (from “Twisted Willie“) – Reverend Horton Heat & Willie Nelson “The Ballad Of Gator Mcklusky” (from “Real Songs About Drinking“) – Jerry Reed “Ditch Diggin'” (from “Doublewide and Live“) – Southern Culture on the Skids “Barroom Buddies'” (from “Real Songs About Drinking“) – Merle Haggard & Clint Eastwood Ruinednation no 57:44 http://www.ruinednation.com/podcast/ruinedcast-watch-yourself-when-swingin-with-the-chairmans-girl-232011/ http://www.ruinednation.com/podcast/ruinedcast-watch-yourself-when-swingin-with-the-chairmans-girl-232011/#comments Fri, 04 Feb 2011 04:41:30 +0000 Eric Johnson http://www.ruinednation.com/?p=133 http://www.ruinednation.com/podcast/ruinedcast-watch-yourself-when-swingin-with-the-chairmans-girl-232011/feed/ 0 This week's mix is a swingin' good time with The Rat Pack, Richard Cheese, Louis Armstrong, and a couple of industrial stalwarts. - "Welcome To The Jungle" (from "") - Richard Cheese - "I Hate You All" (from "") - Foetus - This week's mix is a swingin' good time with The Rat Pack, Richard Cheese, Louis Armstrong, and a couple of industrial stalwarts.
