So the final Throbbing Gristle album finally has a date. It’s a two disc set coming on November 26th.
As a fan of Throbbing Gristle, Nico, Blixa Bargeld, Marc Almond, and Antony Hegarty, I am really jazzed about this thing. However, I am a little thrown by the lack of Genesis. Not that I think he’s the most important part or most talented or anything like that, but they have always been clear about TG being the four of them together. I thought that’s why they changed the name to X-TG when he quit.
Or maybe he is on the album and they just aren’t publicizing that because they hate him so much. If that’s the case, I’ll sit in the corner and shut up.
Regardless, bring it on! Woo!
Stoked!!
More Throbbing Gristle to add to my collection!
Hmmm Sasha Gray sings on this album,huh?
I once saw her in a porno getting gangbanged by 12 guys…

Can we be sure it’s the same chick? That would be awesome if it was. Next thing you know Mika Tan will be on the next TKK album.
Positive it’s the same chick…she has actually crossed over into indie and mainstream films…
This isn’t being marketed as the final TG album any more, it’s the first X-TG album.

Good, because this is bullshit! Throbbing Gristle does not exist without Genesis as the singer.
I am getting to know some of the people involved (Genesis is local to NYC) and though she may be difficult, they really can’t in good taste be using that name without her.

A-ha! It seems your correct. I hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere, and it looked like the teaser trailers were listing it as “TG” at the end.

…but now I see the faint “X” behind it.

That makes more sense.

She sang on a Current 93 album a few years ago too, and she does her own experimental music which is probably on Soundcloud or Youtube or Myspace if you’re really interested.
Also - if Genesis isn’t in the group anymore, and Sleazy is dead, isn’t this just a Chris and Cosey album?
That’s a pretty fucked up viedo.12 dudes explode into her mouth and she saves it all until they’re all done and then She swallows a literal mouthful of cum! Double and triple penetration how does a chick like this cross over into mainstream? I have no idea but I think magic might be part of the answer.

Yeah dude,it’s pretty gnarley stuff…memo to porn stars:swallow the ball sauce of 12 guys and you to may end up in a Steven Soderbegh film…!!

Almost positive that Sleazy has some contributions. They had been working on it for awhile, so I can only imagine after Sleazy died and Genesis quitting, they finished the album with guests.
I’m looking forward to this. Happy they’re doing it as X-TG rather than TG without Gen.
To be fair, I get them not wanting to work with her again after she bailed on the tour. I know there are two sides to every story but Chris & Cosey have always seemed very businesslike in their work ethic and I suspect they have no time for Gen anymore.
It makes sense to have Sasha Gray on the album, considering Cosey’s long career in porn.
the website talks a bit about sleazy’s work on the record in the tribute to him section. it was among the things he was working on at the end.
They had been working on it as a foursome for a little bit. They did some live shows, and released a massive collection of those recordings.

Kinda weird seeing a pretty cute girl taking it in all 3 holes at once. When that stuff is talked about I usually get the image of some run down crack whore that is in no way pleasent to look at. But sasha was cute. Kudos for taking it in the ass and still having the poise to suck a dong without using any teeth. I can’t imagine any of that could feel good… well for her anyway. Seems like porn like that seriously strips the woman of any type of humanity. She at that point in time really just is an object serving a purpose for multiple people with no real benefit to herself. She may as well have been a bus or a minivan getting a group of people where they needed to go.

First of all, let’s please not discuss Sasha Grey any further - every decade or so, porn has their “it” girl who is “artistic”, “smart”, and “amazingly talented” enough to go legitimate outside of porn while the cold water of reality hasn’t yet splashed totally on said performer until well after a year or two of their release from the industry…when said gigs consist of playing Stripper, Porno Star Actress #3 or even making “orgasm noises” on records. Or in porn-related “legitimate” films. Yes, these roles usually go to current or ex-porn stars, and yes the irony is totally lost on them.
Second of all, I’m torn on the TG tip. From a business standpoint (and keep in mind, said business was blown wide open all over the internet), Genesis did indeed fuck them badly by not continuing an on-going tour by bowing out. It is expensive enough to tour, but to cancel a long array of dates before making that choice? Pretty shitty, imo.
Third, it’s “NOT TG!” if Gen isn’t in it. Unfortunately, I’m nearing 30 and the reality is that there’s tons of bands out there without a founding member, or members, and either they carry the torch with the name and make it work, or…well, look at Ministry…they just don’t.
I’m pretty indifferent I guess. Nice to see they honor the process if they call it “X-TG” eventually, but in the end I don’t think it will matter what they call it because TG fans will listen to it no matter what.

No, I definitely agree with you that it’s silly to moan about a founding member leaving and still using the same band name. I do feel it’s different in this case simply because the band members themselves had commented that the band could only ever be the four of them together, and they felt strongly enough about that to change the name when Genesis left. I’m glad to see that they’re holding true to that.
I also agree with all your comments about Traci Lords.
No,actually I think I want to keep talking about Sasha Gray getting drilled in her 3 orifices…
