Juke-Joint Jezebel
"Juke Joint Jezebel" is a song by industrial rock group KMFDM from their 1995 album '' Nihil''. It is KMFDM's most widely known song to date, with around three million copies of the song sold across various releases. Background and composition The music for the song was written primarily by KMFDM frontman Sascha Konietzko, who asked returning band member Raymond Watts to write the lyrics for "Juke Joint Jezebel" as well as a few other tracks from '' Nihil''. Also credited as authors are En Esch and Günter Schulz. When mixing the song, Konietzko thought it sounded too "awful" to be included on ''Nihil'', but TVT Records, to whom KMFDM were signed at the time, wanted to put it on the album, certain it would become a hit. In KMFDM's profile for ''Trouser Press'', Neil Strauss highlights Watts' lyrics and looped guitar riffs and electro-funk beats as the song's main features. In a 2013 book '' Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music'', musician and scholar S. Alexander Re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
KMFDM
KMFDM (originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated by the band as "no pity for the majority") is a multinational industrial band from Hamburg led by Sascha Konietzko, who founded the band in 1984 as a performance art project. The band's earliest incarnation included German drummer En Esch and British vocalist Raymond Watts, the latter of whom left and rejoined the group several times over its history. The trio recorded the band's earliest albums in Germany before Konietzko and Esch moved to the United States, where they found much greater success with seminal industrial record label Wax Trax!. German guitarist Günter Schulz joined in 1990; both he and Esch continued with the band until KMFDM broke up in 1999. Konietzko resurrected KMFDM in 2002 (Esch and Schulz declined to rejoin) on Metropolis Records, and by 2005 he had assembled a consistent line-up that included American singer Lucia Cifarelli, British guitarists Jules Hodgson and Steve White, and Briti ...

Modern Rock Tracks
Alternative Airplay (formerly known as Modern Rock Tracks (1988–2009) and Alternative Songs (2009–2020)) is a music chart in the United States that has appeared in ''Billboard'' magazine since September 10, 1988. It ranks the 40 most-played songs on alternative and modern rock radio stations. Introduced as Modern Rock Tracks, the chart served as a companion to the Mainstream Rock chart (then called Album Rock Tracks), and its creation was prompted by the explosion of alternative music on American radio in the late 1980s. During the first several years of the chart, it regularly featured music that did not receive commercial radio airplay anywhere but on a few modern rock and college rock radio stations. This included many electronic and post-punk artists. Gradually, as alternative rock became more mainstream (spearheaded by the grunge explosion in the early 1990s), alternative and mainstream rock radio stations began playing many of the same songs. By the late 2000s, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
