Greetings:
The Industrial Santa here from Seattle... the past couple weeks I was
thinking about something I thought was a good topic. Songs that are
played so much that I'm plain sick of hearing them anymore. I am sure
that alot of people out there feel the same. I showed the list around
to some friends at the club and they typically took exception to 1 or 2
songs on the list, but conceded that it is a song that is played much
too much. Right now my list is at 16 songs... and keep in mind I've
done most of my clubbing in San Fran, San Diego, Seattle and some in
Tampa and Orlando.. and you know when I was in Florida, I rarely heard
any of the 16 songs... which I was glad.. So this might be a regional
list... but if not... help me add to the list... and bitch at me for
putting certain songs on this list.. Not all of these are industrial...
but I feel this would fit here:
(note: * means I never liked the song)

Any Sisters of Mercy Song
Nine Inch Nails “Closer”
BiGod20 “The Bog” – I first heard this song in 1990.. and I’m still
fucking hearing it!!
Juno Reactor “God is God” *
Crystal Method “Busy Child *
Nick Cave “Right Red Hand”
Dead Can Dance “The Obsequious Mr. Lovegrove” (I used to love this song)
Coil “Loves secret domain” *
Numb “Blood”
Snog “Corporate Slave”
Any Prodigy song *
Front242 “Headhunter” the ultimate one hit wonder….
KMFDM “Megolmanic” (Sorry my asshole ex-roommate loved this song, so I
heard it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.)
KMFDM “Anarchy” (Jason and I agreed on this one. )
Revolting Cocks “Do you think I’m sexy?”
Pop Will Eat Itself “Ich Bin Ein Auslander (this is Halloween mix) *
NEVER liked it. I liked the original version, but.. GAWD..

Ok... tell me what you think...

Mark/aka Aasimar, aka Industrial Santa... ho ho ho..

Well do you ever goto the Mercury? Actually Hana Solo mentions me when
I get some music for her to play in her play lists.. I'm almost always
at the Merc on friday and saturday and dance a bit (though not so much
lately... :( )

Ok let me comment here :)

> would kill myself. ..

> Love Never Dies- APB <-- this is getting there.. yes, but I've been
clubbing for years and most of the songs on my list have been played
SINCE I started clubbing in 93!

> Sisters of Mercy- anything <-- (said that... ) :)

> Bauhaus- ANYthing <- yeah I was considering that...

> NIN-- ANYthing <-- hmmm.. but Closer is the one you hear to death
and all the posuers love that one

> Switchblade Symphony- anything <-- hmmm I like SS, but I don't dance
so much to them anymore

> Voltaire- It's so easy being evil (?) That's "When your Evil"
Anyhow... yeah well it was being over played, but it doesn't get played
soo much anymore... and they need to do that to all the songs on my
list! :)

That would be "When You're Evil."
I find it to be a rather amusing tongue-in-cheek poke at goths.
What exactly makes you "HATE HATE HATE" it so much?

I live in New York and they don't play a lot of those songs here that
often.

The songs I am sick of here are: (mind you I am not listing songs by
preference just by amount of times I've heard them.

Anything by VNV Nation
Anything by Apoptygma Berzerk
Headhunter (though I love the Space Frog rmx in a club)
:W: Soylent Green
:W: Thorns
Another World (Don't You worry they won't find my body whatever it's
called) by Beborn Beton
Iris Annie Would I lie to You
London After Midnight Kiss
Lords of Acid (Darling Come Here Fuck up to) whatever that one is called
Covenant (the track from Europa they always play)Figurehead and Stalker
also.
Wolfsheim any song
and the END ALL BE ALL
Sintek Isolation
Alphaville Forever Young (I wish that song was never made)

Front 242 a one-hit-wonder??? Are you on crack?!?

sick of list:

-Any industrial cover of New Wave
-Bad remixes of good songs, played just to prove dj originality
-Claims that the scene is any better or worse than it has ever been

OK, maybe these are peeves ;)

You might as well stay home, as you've basically listed 100% club tunes.
Thoguh I'd agree with Thorns and LAM.

Do you have any IDEA how many times I have heard that song and everyone
instantly hits the dancefloor doing this whole "i'm so goff" flail-
handtoforehead-flail-flail dance? eeeuck.
I've just heard it too much.

And no, I don't go to the Mercury anymore.

Although it's hard for me to think anyone in their right mind could think this
is seriously the only good stuff 242 has ever done... I guess it depends on
what you're after. I still think "Official Version" is one of the most
incredible EBM albums ever made... and "Off Evil" is pretty brilliant too.

Not _that_ bad. Try "Head Like a Hole."

"The Bog (Dance Mix)" from the "Carpe Diem" single isn't that bad, but it is
overplayed.

> Juno Reactor "God is God" *

I'll disagree here.

> Crystal Method "Busy Child *

And here.

> Nick Cave "Right Red Hand"

Huh?

> Dead Can Dance "The Obsequious Mr. Lovegrove" (I used to love this song)

I never liked this song. Too many people do, though...

> Coil "Loves secret domain" *

Heh. I tell 'em I don't own it. Now I _never_ hear it...
"That's right. Even my 'Black Box' comp CD #2 was damaged..."

> Numb "Blood"
Huh?

> Snog "Corporate Slave"
"Can you play 'Corporate Slave' by Snog for me? It's my birthday..."
"I'm sorry, but my wife dropped the CD behind the TV yesterday, and when I

You really shouldn't be in a club if you don't expect to hear at least ONE
Prodigy song.

I agree.

Nah, I like KMFDM.

See above.

Nah.

Try these:
Concrete Blonde - "Bloodletting"
Covenant - "Dead Stars" (Hell, ANYTHING Covenant right now...)
:Wumpscut: - Anything by them
FLA - "The Blade" and "Millennium"
Birmingham 6 - "Godlike"
Bauhaus - "Bela Lugosi's Dead" ...y'know, the 9-minute version...
The Cure - Anything by them
Rammstein - "Du Hast" Who the hell wrote this? "You Have?" As if this
were really intended for anything BUT an American audience...
Soft Cell - "Tainted Love"

What? No link!?!? ;)

I personally think EN: "Headcleaner" and SC: "Somnabulist" are the
most overplayed.

It's been a looooong time since I went to a club, and after reading
this thread I recall why...

hehe..well i did a few years ago..and thats where all my
awareness began....i only lasted a couple months though..it
really got to me,and alot of drama and all that...thats where
you find out who your REAL friends are..

i actually must say though i can respect and commend anyone who
does open a club and sticks it out..its really hard work,and it
has to be your main focus if thats what you are doing..for me it
was not..my label,radio shows,distro,radio promotions,and band
were more important for me....and still are..and i'm glad i made
my choice...its kept my sanity at least a bit longer.

I never go to clubs so I didn't realize that it was that overplayed.
Though the scenario you have described does make me understand your
disgust...and it makes me chuckle...hehe...silly goths...

Now I'm wondering how many songs I'd hate if I actually went to clubs...

electro,industrial,power noise,and synthpop too..all of it...but
done in a cool way.so everyone gets more for their money..

And now...

..the latest Reader's Digest Style -chrisr-quotes from the "You
Didn't Ask, but Here's My Two Cents Anyway, and besides, I
haven't posted in nearly six minutes" file:

Any Sisters of Mercy Song -
"Secret marketing plan some some top-secret "Sisterhood" agency
has of making people actually wish a NEW Sisters album would
finally come out. And no, exploiting an "exotic" vocalist to
wail over the top of another old song does not make it a new
song"

Nine Inch Nails “Closer” -
"Maybe if I get close enough to God I can trip the breaker on
the PA"...."When you drive past a frat house on the way to a
club, and the same song is coming out of both, be afraid, be
very afraid"

Any Prodigy song -
Crystal Method "Busy Child" -
"along with all the Underworld, Dust Brothers, Prodigy, Fat Boy
Slim, etc., stuff they keep trying to sneak in to clubs in
Seattle and elsewhere, some of which might even be OK,
sometimes, in a different situation: RIGHT SONG, WRONG CLUB."

Dead Can Dance “The Obsequious Mr. Lovegrove” (I used to love

this song) "Press release arrives announcing Cleopatra 2-disc
remix and / or tribute album, release date TBA...trite EBM
remake of same song in heavy club rotation for six more
years...on the eve of the seventh year, new, 21-year-old patron
of club has a "new song she discovered that she wants to show
you", leading to passing thoughts of suicide or self-
mutilation...Several years after that, remastered version of old
EBM remake of The Obsequious Mr. Lovegrove ends up on commercial
for new Volkswagen Magnetic Hovercraft 2025"

Front242 “Headhunter” the ultimate one hit wonder…
"What about the 'Jesus is Here' song? That one's pretty catchy"

KMFDM
"Also had other songs! How about trying one of those?"

Revolting Cocks “Do you think I’m sexy?”
"Just as I was starting to get a buzz on and get into it, you
have to go and remind me that there's a Rod Stewart"

Erek added:

Alphaville "Forever Young" (I wish that song was never made) -
"Wait a minute, what's with all these shiny guys wearing only
leather chaps...hey, I'm in the wrong club again! What was that,
$2 wells? I guess it wouldn't hurt to hang around for a couple
hours..."

And -chrisr- added:

You Here's Greatest Hits - the Moby Remixes - "Everybody But Me
Is Wrong"
"Why is there nothing but dead air? Oh, wait a minute. YouHere
won't LET us hear any of his music...why was that he said that
was? Something about his penis? Huh?" :-)

I'll bet when she holds the "please don't play" petition up next
to her "and the finger this week goes to" list of requests
people make that she puts on her playlist emails, they will all
be the same songs!

Maybe the final list could be framed, and hung above the DJ
booth at clubs, as some sort of "request at your own risk" list.
Kind of like putting up a "No Stairway" sign in a music store?

Actually, a great deal od Newer Wave 2 was excellent. Newer Wave (1 I

Just no more fucking covers of Tainted Love, OK?

I think that song is cute. Voltaire is reprehensibly untalented (see the
comic abomination "Oh My Goth"), but that track makes me think of
something an evil disney character would sing. And that's all good.

My list which bears resemblance to many others:

"Like a Prayer"-BiGod20
"Headhunter"-Front 242
"Another World"-Beborn Beton (I like it but enough already)
Most of the Sisters of Mercy catalogue, especially "Temple of Love"
"Tainted Love"-Soft Cell
Bauhaus-"Bela Lugosi's Dead"
"Ausoween"-the Kurt Harland thingy-this has gotten played to the point that a
lot of people don't realize that "Ich Bin Ein Auslander" is a separate entity
"The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove"-DCD did nine major releases and yet the idiot DJ
plays this every week

And various horrible reminders of the 80s. At least the club that committed
these crimes of redundancy (well one of the DJs anyway) has recently burned
down. No one was hurt, so I shed no tears. :P

Hmmm.... there are a lot of tracks I've heard way too many times, and
there's only been club culture here for just under a year. But the most
overplayed tracks in Halifax are:

Sisters "Temple of Love '92"
Depeche Mode "Master and Servant"
NiN "Perfect Drug"
Bowie and Reznor "I'm afraid of Americans"
Apotheosis "O Fortuna"
Velvet Acid Christ "Fun With Drugs" (I'm partly responsible for killing
this one. I stopped playing it in my sets 7 months or so ago. Someone else
picked up the torch...)

I dunno. I don't club often, so I don't hear this song, oh, ever. When I do,
maybe once every 8 months or so, I bob my head. I think its catchy.

Yeah, I'd like to know what clubs are overplaying "Feurio" and
"Headcleaner." Certainly no club I've been lucky enough to go to.

He is way fun to see live. Anyway, while he plays next to nothing on
guitar, the rest of his band are fairly talented. Plus, how many other
shows can I go to and laugh my ass of at.

Haha. I was thinking "what a coincidence - I live near a crappy club that just
burned down!" before I got to the bottom of your post and saw your name. :)

I shed no tears either. However, I'm sure the DJs and fans will continue
listening to their 80's pop music (which they often refer to as "underground"
and "industrial") at whatever temporary venue they set up.

I danced to a few songs.. and the second time wasn't so good... the
last time... was just dead... I talked to Heather briefly.. she razzing
me a little cuz I couldn't get into the Merc cuz I couldnt' find my
wallet... I did go home and find it (after tearing up my apartment)..

but yeah I'll come in again next week, and try to get there earlier.. I

Actually I haven't liked the change so much.. been dancing alot less..
I think that's a sign of old age.. when you stop at a certain music era
and can't listen to any thing new.. like those old fuckers who listen
to Barry Manalow.. or those who can't realize that the members of KISS
are like 90 now.. ha ha.. I do like some of the newer stuff like Din
Fiv..and Flugslied (sp?) but you may also account the slide in "head
count" to Summertime.. I've always seen that happen no matter what
clubs I've been to, and I've seen my fair share.

Woohoo... yeah.. Hana can give me the finger... My list mostly consists
of songs that I heard when I first started clubbing way back in
the "olden days" (haha).. My real gripe is that there is so much more
good stuff out there since what happened back in 1989... or 1993!

I think there should be another list that is:
"Don't play this song so damn much, else it will get on the other
list!" :)

Sounds like you play a more Techno like music.. like Crystal Method and

Prodigy all the time. Hana plays Juno.. and I just wanna walk out..

Covanent is overplayed.. but not anywhere in the league of the list so
far.. my suggestion is to play some of the other songs on the CD that
are good.. like One World One Sky (hey I like it).. or something like
that..

Good plan on those songs you really don't want to play... KMFDM does
get a bit overplayed here.. but not MDFMK.. :) Trust me, I love both
bands so it took alot of times of them being played to be put on my

Course from what I heard.. Andrew Eldritch claimed they were never a

At least you had a roommate that listens to KMFDM. Have you ever had a
roommate that listens to booty rap all day long?

I like a lot of the songs mentioned in this thread but I agree that they
get overplayed. IMO that electronica bullshit (chemical brothers,
crystal method, prodigy, underworld's cowgirl, etc) gets played way too
much and should never be played in an industrial club. Or is this just
a Seattle/Vancouver thing?

Yeah...I wish Wall of Sound would get more club play...wonder why it doesn't...it's
not like it's not dancy.

Its long and monotonous. The actual content of the song is in the alternating
vocals. Its too subtle and texture-based.

Solitary has a prominant melody and melodic vocals. Wall Of Sound, in that
sense, is the worst song I've ever heard Covenant do. Its the stuff below the
surface that makes it good.

It has the prettiest string melody of any covenant song...actually, possibly the
only string melody in any covenant song.

Nah, it goes beyond that. People are just fucking weird. I just opened
up a night in Sacramento that is industrial only. I played Assemblage 23,
whom likely only a handful of people in our "Sisters n' FLA" town know.
Got a mediocre response and had a few ask about it. Got requests at the
next club event for said song. Played said song during the main set and
cleared the floor with it. Where were the people who requested it? At
the bar. Standing there. It's frustrating and VERY hard to not play the
"hits". I managed to get some "non-single" VNV Nation stuff over pretty
easily but anything weird (and by weird we're talking FUNKER VOGT even) is
really hard to get over with the crowd here.

I always open my first set with powernoise because *I* selfishly like to
listen to it LOUD and if the early arrivers don't like it they can drink
or whatever. Haven't had any problems yet. The best is when someone
requested "harsh industrial" during my co-DJ's set and she played Suicide
Commando and Synapscape and people went *outside*. And, of course, the
people who requested hard stuff didn't dance. Oh well.

For some reason I've found it much easier to get non-mainstream electro
and powernoise over with the radio listeners (I also DJ on the radio) than
in a live DJ setting.

We had a Noisex/Sonar show back when they toured and a large chunk of the
crowd was composed of folk from SF who came up to see the show (the SF
show had a sound system die) and I got to DJ. Of course, I got harrassed
by the people who booked the show for DJing things like Monolith, Somatic
Responses and P.A.L because you "can't dance to it". Whatever.

I try my best to educate the listener be it a radio listener or a club
goer but I also have to worry about meeting my guarantee and getting
repeat customers. I'm not sure how my list would rank with the "I never
want to hear X song again" thread but I try to mix in some lesser known
(at least amongst people here who are spoonfed Tin Omen by the local
"alternative" corporate station sponsored club night) stuff at the same
time.

I think it's time to move to Seattle or something... that place appears to
rock the spot as I've been hearing lately.

If a string melody is all it takes to get something at a dance club,
I'm surprised the patrons aren't all dancing to orchestral music.

I think if everyone put in a list of the songs or bands they don't want
to hear, there would soon be nothing left for the clubs to play. Every
band has someone in the scene who can't stand them...

Cubanate - Oxycetalene

I don't like any music! ha ha ha.. Seriously.. I like Industrial,
Gothic, EBM, and Synth.. I used to be a big Front242 fan back when Up
Evil came out.. I saw F242 for their Tyranny For You album..

I like alot of bands, like VNV, APB, A23, Wolfsheim, Covanent,
Wumpscut, VAC, Iris, Beborn Beton, De/Vision.. to name a few...

He's great live. I don't like that style of music but he's good. He
even said that he surrounds himself with classical musicians and that
he's the only rock and roll influence in the band.

A-FUCKING-MEN Tommy. Back before the Bank closed in New York I almost
made a CDR of all the overplayed songs and was gonna pass em out to
everyone at the club so that it wouldn't be that cool to come here them
anymore and ppl would get bored of them. The Bank closed before I got
around to doing it.

I'm up to about 5 now.

Ha ha.. you got a point but I put a restriction on this... "overplayed"
to me means it's been around a long time and I still hear it every week.
So at least in Seattle "Sparrows and the Nightengales" doesn't go on
the list. (my list anyway)

And Cubanate hardly ever gets played here.. so even when I hear "Body
Burn" I get excited... It's an oldie.. but it's been soooo long since
I've heard them....

You think that's bad? Philadelphia is supposed to be great for
industrial. Unfortunately, the competition that's begun for a
head count between the now 3 clubs has taken its toll.. I don't
go out at all as much as I used to, but things have changed.
These days, if I go out, after the first hour they don't play
anything remotely close to what I want to hear. No risks are
taken anymore, and every time I request something (like stuff
from
the Virion Sequences comp for example), I get told "I don't want
to kill the dancefloor!"
Recently Flesh Field were staying with me here, and we
dragged Mr. Shear with us to Evolution on a sunday night. After
an hour's set of 80's, the dancefloor was turned into a mosh-pit
as the DJ spun 12 songs of Metal. He played everything from
rammstein to type o negative. The metal set did pause
momentarily
to play "Once in a lifetime" by Wolfsheim, but then quickly went
back to metal. The kids ate the stuff up, and I guess that's
what's keeping club afloat, but trust me- be thankfull that they
are at least playing electronics.

oh, and ben, thanks for the Baboon Torture Division Cd, this
rocks!

Ah okay... then I would definitely say "front by front" is probably the best
242 album for you as it's definitely their most accessible. Although, if you
don't mind the dated sound, you might dig 'Back Catalogue' too, as it has some
of their more 'synth poppy' material for lack of a better term...

Sure, I have Newer wave 1 and 2, like the first better, but personally
am(perhaps temporarily) sick of all the covering going on. If you want to hear
80s, just play some of the originals! The "industrial" dance floors collapse
under the weight of patrons if you throw on the right Depeche Mode, Dead or
Alive, New Order etc.

I don't think it has to do with old age. The older I get the more

True head count always goes down in the summer, but JQ's head count is
way more than Hana's, which is probably why she catered more to "the
crowd" last week. The whole point is to keep people dancing and
buying drinks and last week more people danced. People have bben
complaining about how repetitive Power noise is and then I watch them
dance to 'Dead Stars' or 'Kindertraum' or something and IMO that is
just as repetitive. I think it's great that Hana is playing different
types of music...you know a little bit of something for everyone...

yeah, he has a comic book series called Chi-Chian, which was also made
into a small claymation series that i know has been played on SciFi,
and probably MTV when they had those late-night cartoon thingies. and
while im not particularly fond of his music, he is definitely a cool
guy...only time ive seen him was at GothCon in Atlanta this past year,
and he was really laid back and was happy to sign my girlfriend's Chi
Chian comic books. someone referred to him as 'untalented', and
while his music is annoying (IMO), the comics are pretty cool. i know
i sure as hell cant make music nor write comics. ;)

i grew up in s.florida, so i think its in my blood to like booty
rap...at least the stuff when i was like 12 and that was the only
music i had access to. the point of this follow-up being that a good
friend of mine just moved back into town, and he works at a MediaPlay

yes...this is typical behaviour everywhere as i think the core
RMI'ers have all helped us figure out...at one point i thought
New Mexico ,where i live was just so behind the rest..but i see
its the same everywhere basically,and i think that its been
cool hearing everyone different ,yet the same experiences all
over the world...its funny how sheep are really sheep...i don't
just use the word loosely...its very accurate and on target.

now we must make change!revolution time again...woooo hoo!

same deal here....its all competition because too many trnedies
wanna "play d.j" and get laid and try to get popular with the
other insecure dorks who NEEED to go to the clubs all the time
to be accepted and feel alive..and they call themselves
individuals>>hahahahha...thats sheep if you ask me..and the d.js
are weak...
i'm just the opposite..someone asks me for NIN,SISTERS and
Bauhaus and i'm like...."where do you want the cd?? lodged up
your ass>? or in your fucking ear?"

metal instead of aggressive electronic/industrial eh??
thats fucking retarded...but doesn't seem to surprise me
anymore..nothing..
as i said before the sheep are multiplying by the thousands
daily...pop culture,mtv,and all the commercial radio still has
more strength then any of us internet radio shows,indie
labels,distributors,anything...
more people in population,more stupid people..and we all know..
"stupid people shouldn't breed"...unfortunately thats what they
do most..cause they have nothing else to do but fuck,drink,and
fuck some more..and then beat their wife/husband and fight over
custordy....shit...i went off topic...damn.. people make me
do this often..anyhow..you get my point.

That guy is a guy that has talent coming out of his ears. Someone told
me he has two apartments. One that he lives in with his girlfriend
which is a tricked out modern nice apartment and another where there's
no electricity just candles that he takes goth ppl and tells
them, "Here is where I live" anyway that might just be a legend I
dunno. It was told to me by someone who knows him but I haven't
confirmed it. He doesn't do only his own shit though. He does a lot
of the claymation. From what I hear he just makes music for the hell
of it because he's already got his other gigs that pay the bills and
then some.

It's NEO. I'm trying to get people more interested in newer stuff, but it's
tough. I also get a chance to annoy the regulars by playing stuff like Run
D.M.C., Faithless, and Praga Khan, but all the PJs love that shit.

Seriously, though, I've heard "Headhunter" and "JUKE JOINT JEZEBEL" enough
times, too. But when you're DJing in a club, you don't really have a choice
to play the music YOU want to hear (unless it's early, and then all I wanna
do is throw some softer, trance-like stuff on [i.e. Intermix] and relax
before I spend 6 straight hours playing the normal stuff) because all the
patrons WANT to hear the same shit over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over...

You get the idea. My advice to all DJs is this: play the same shit over and
over again, because those few times you have the opportunity to play
something new people are going to start asking to hear that stuff over and
over again pretty soon. This is what happened when I started playing mdfmk
and Balligomingo, and now all the patrons love it. It's a cycle, and you'll
see it again and again.

Oh, and if anyone cares, I'll be DJing this Friday AND Saturday night.
