Just over the hedge. Popping over now and again to borrow condiments. Complementing you on your garden gnomes.

Any banana suits involved?

When decorum so dictates.

Are Coil related to the Exploited in some way? Please educate my innocent mind.

I still choose Throbbing Gristle, though, sorry. The Porridge enthralls
me.

No, but Peter Christophersen was in Throbbing Gristle.

All my Exploited pics vanish. Odd, that.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 9 April 2005 03:53 (twenty years ago)

EASY and SIMPLE. Throbbing Gristle. I doubt they would bring over drunk-shit friends that would try and steal my garden gnomes.

This is true. If I'm not mistaken, the TG'rs were all teetotallers, no? The same cannot be said for Wattie's bunch.

you'd have to be very careful next door to TG. I'm sure that I've read about them getting rid of some squatters near their studio by blaring some home-made noise machines in their direction at painful levels!

I think The Exploited would merely be stupid, loud, louttish and annoying (and quite probably needlessly violent), but the TG gang would be creepy and devious and sinister and queasily mischievous and transgressive and occaisionally entirely revolting in a manner the `Ploiters couldn't possibly ever hope to accomplish.

Dear http://www.gwiazdy.com.pl/18_98/img/18-2.jpg & http://www.btinternet.com/~sev/REGROUP/FebImages/cosey.jpg , we're going away for a few days, please will you bring the bin in for us, pop 'round and feed the cats and the fish and just generally keep an eye on the place for us while we're away?

Thanks,

Throbbing Gristle, hands down.

Although they would get really annoyed by me requesting a performace of "Subhuman" all the time.

I don't know anything about the Exploited but I pick them - I don't want to live next door to Christopherson, I get a real bad vibe from that idea.

my sister lives in the street gen and paula used to live in!! they had moved out b4 she moved in - but i interviewed him once in that house... it used to have a big iron triple cross on the door

as far as i know they were exemplary neighbours, but of course the other members of TG/PTV didn't live there with them

the deathfactory postcard that came free w.the second (or was it third) annual report is some old textiles warehouse which backs onto london fields (ie if the photographer had turned 180 degrees he wd have had a non-creepy pic of a nice park)

mark s (mark s), Saturday, 9 April 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

Exploited Singer Beat Unconscious
Nov 19, 2008

Punk's not dead ... but it's been knocked unconscious after a severe beating.

Exploited front man Wattie Buchan was allegedly assaulted by 12 attackers in Madrid, hit over the head with metal bars and left unconscious last week. The band's official blog contends attackers singled Buchan out after seeing photographs of him online and mistaking him for a nazi.

"Anyway a picture takes a second to take and every one thinks that they know what's going on by looking at a split second and make up their minds on that picture," the band's statement read. "We are fed up with trying to explain to people that we are not Nazis. There is a picture on the net with Wattie and the U.K. Subs with Charlie Harper and the guys are all doing the salute for a joke. People see this picture and don't realize the circumstances in which it was taken."

i always make sure to look for cameras before the salute.

ian, Sunday, 30 November 2008 03:56 (seventeen years ago)

i can't find this picture on the net. some 1 help me

You wouldn't want to piss off Throbbing Gristle if they lived next door to you... this is in Wreckers of Civilisation (and found on the web).

"In 1978, the artist-industrial musician Monte Cazazza and the group Throbbing Gristle experimented in their East London studio with the creation of both ultrasound and infrasound frequencies. Cazazza remembers during infrasound tests using an industrial tone generator that the air began to shimmer and his clothes visibly “rippled under the waves.” The group’s ultrasound experiments were equally notorious; using an array of piezo-electric speakers (“because they were cheap” remembers Monte), they used frequencies in excess of 20,000Hz in a ‘sonic loop’, creating a continual, culminating wave. Their target was some troublesome neighbours; according to the group, the neighbours’ dogs began to bark and both people and animals exhibited aggressive irritability. Unsurprisingly, the unwanted neighbours moved shortly after the sonic attacks."
