I gave up on punk completely around the time I first heard the Birthday Party.

I was listening to John Peel around this time (late '70's) but I don't remember him playing a lot of industrial stuff. But then again, it was never my kind of thing, so if he did play it I wouldn't have taken much notice.

He certainly played bands like Einsturzende Neubauten, Test Dept., Die Haut etc. a few years later. By that time I too had moved on from punk and loved it.

It does that to me too, and everyone else, so I am going to say "yes."

I want to say "yes, the birthday party is awesome!", but we are 3 pages into the thread now, and it would be practically pointless...

I was also listening at this time and have a similar recollection to you... something tells me he played stuff off 20 Jazz Funk Greats but I can't substantiate it...

They look to me like they're saying, "Who's raping me hard right now?"

I feel I should add something, but I have nothing to add.

I do love the Birthday Party though.
