20- year-old Martin Adkin’s joined Johnny Rotten’s (Lydon) Public Image Limited (PiL) in 1980 and co-writing the bands best/most well-known album, This Is What You Want … This Is What You Get .. and his career only went up from there!
Going from being a part of the Post Punk scene to being a staple of … if not a founder of, the industrial music movement- NIN, Ministry, Killing Joke, Pigface … Martin, whose published several books on the music industry and is currently the coordinator of music industry studies at Millikin University … but we had him on to chat his … HIS … Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music in Chicago!
Management (aka Jacques’ wife) went to, met and hung out with Martin on her last work trip to Chicago a couple months ago. She was given the heads up on the museum from fellow Duran Duran friend of hers who was also in Chicago at the time and they met up at museum on way to Depeche Mode that night.
We’d like to think this episode as a part one of many episodes to come with Martin. Martin is a riot. So smart. So accomplished and his passion for music and the museum is infectious!
Jacques pretty much gave up perusing a career in hockey in lieu of becoming a drummer based on seeing NIN’s, “Head Like A Hole” video on 120 Minutes on MTV at 2am in the summer 1989 … Martin was one of the two drummers in that video!
Martin says he’s looking forward to us coming to see the museum this summer … but when he finds Jacques moved in and is living in a storage closet there … he might regret that invite!
