Now comes the time on Sprockets when we dance.

I'm all about 20-year-old SNL references lately; the other day I joked that I'm gonna bring back the Church Lady's catchphrase—"Well isn't that special?"—as part of my ongoing efforts to maintain a 95 percent level of irony in everything I say, apparently. 

But the Sprockets reference came into my head thanks to my iTunes: I'm listening to the Wax Trax! Black Box compilation, and it's currently playing The KLF's "What Time Is Love?" It's not exactly the kind of thing that comes to my mind when I think of the label—it's way more of a straight-up dance track—but it's worth nothing the label's legacy goes beyond Al Jourgensen's pulverizing industrial anyway.

And that's a long way of saying I've been working on an oral history of industrial for a few months now. (And it's why updates to the site have been so infrequent.) It'll be published by Soft Skull Press in the fall of 2011, but it's due in seven short months. I've created a new section on the site to talk about the book, so check it out for updates. I'm also open to suggestions for the book.

More to come soon. I hope to link up some of my stories from last year on here too, but the book is obviously taking priority over everything else at this point.
