Every year when we get the first cold snap (cold in a relative sense) I pull out My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult’s album “Sexplosion“, roll down the windows and crank it. I graduated high school the year Wax Trax released the cd. I was introduced to the “goth/industrial” night club scene by a friend in my math class the weekend I turned 18 but it was after one of my best friends came back from college a few years later that I went head long into that scene. Sometime after she came back she made me a cassette tape with the Sexplosion on one side of it. She was always more hip and edgy than I was. I had just started my first “real” job and was driving 40 minutes a day to and from work listening to Sexplosion on side `A’ and Nitzer Ebb - Ebbhead on side `B’. Sexplosion, IMO, was the peaking of TKK….with all of the earlier work culminating in the release of this, their perfect cd, and they went into an immediate decline after wards. Sexplosion could be at home today with the resurgence of the sex and pill fueled Disco trash sound. Interestingly enough, “Sex on Wheels” made it all the way to #17 on the Billboard charts. I bet if it got a proper reissue it would do a repeat performance today.

So here we are 2 days into our first piece of cold weather and this morning on the way out the door I start singing “Martini Built for 2″….So. I ran inside…dug through my discs, found the disc and listened to it on 20 all the way to work.

Thrill Kill Kult - A Martini Built for 2

Any one else have any seasonal discs?
