It occurs to me that if I bring lunch from home once a week, that will nearly pay for me buying an album a week from itunes. Which might make a great 365 (or, I guess, 52) project - if I buy an album a week for the next year and give a short review on it, say. Not that 98% of the people I know would actually be interested in most of what I listen to. I could also review the sandwich or leftovers I bring to work to pay for it.

It's a thought, anyway.

The next question, of course, would be if I could actually find time to listen to a new album every week reliably.

It's Monday now - if I can get myself organized enough to bring something from home for lunch this week, I will start this week.

Thanks to some industrial music podcasts (especially Industrial Strength Nightmares), I've found more bands that I want to give money to.

God Module
Manga Drive
Animassacre
Uberbyte
Zombie Girl ("Bleeder" is great)
Aesthetic Perfection
Faderhead
Grendel
And One (if nothing else, to get Military Fashion Show out of my head and onto the ipod)
MFG
Combichrist

ETA:
Valium Era
Experiment Haywire

Additionally, a lot of these bands have EP/albums available for download online. Sadly, most of it is on Myspace.

ETAA:
Straftanz, too.

ETAAA:
X-RX, Stage 2
Mordacious, Cybergirl

There are also new VNV Nation and Rotersand albums that I have to get.

Mesh, though she's never had to sit though "People Like Me (With This Gun)". Their cover of Assemblage 23's Document was lovely.

On the other hand, some digging, I found that Suicide Commando's very dancable track "Bind, Torture, Kill" is a lot more annoying when you know what the lyrics are. Blah, blah, serial killers are cool, or whatever. That crap was old when Slayer did it. At least do it in German so I can't tell what you're saying and can focus on the dancibility.
