1000 Homo DJs

 I thought they just did that one song! But there was apparently a full EP. "Supernaut" is, of course, a fantastic cover song that damn-near exceeds the original. I'd heard plenty of Black Sabbath before even realizing they had done this song first. "Hey Asshole!" is extremely disturbing, kinda like "Fuck the Police." The other tracks are largely forgettable but reminiscent of Lard or Ministry. Still, Trent Reznor working with Al Jourgensen was a great moment in industrial rock history. I first (and only ever) heard this on the Wax Tracks box set. Here's the story I remember hearing about how they got the name: the two key members were planning to get together to record something as a one off, and someone said, "Don't worry- the only people to hear it will be 1,000 homo DJs." I'm sure they meant it non-offensively.

Apparently, "1000 Homo DJs began as a side project to release outtakes from Ministry's The Land of Rape and Honey. The credits read "Another Luxa/Pan Production", which was the production pseudonym for Ministry members Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker."-  Provided by Wikipedia under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 4.0
