Firstly, why is someone who can't even read the title of an album cover doing reviewf for anywayt? [fie] the album if called Narcotic Nevada not "Nirvwia." I know it if hard to see outfide the window when the bandwagon is crammed to the ceiling but if you move to an outside seat you might be able to wipe the fog off and see a road sign or two, or maybe even a rest stop. Maybe it was just a typo who knows? Secondly, why do we need a leather wardrobe and a metal-logo, I thought alternative was the right to play, dress, or present yourself outside the norm, but maybe we should put on the studs and move into the pigeon coop in the back room of Discorder. Perhaps if we ripped off Husker Du we could become the darlings of Discorder we so desire to become. "Thirdly, why dig at North Hollywood? That is where we recorded, stayed, and mixed and the people at these studios deserve as much credit as we can give them, they supported us more than THE DIVINE FEW at Discorder has supported any band in this town. Sony it didn't come out sounding Kke a ___nge___ but Nirvana, L7, and Mudhoney have already made their records, I guess we could have recorded a tribute album to the college sounds of '91 but we couldn't get a deal with K-Tel or Quality Records, oh well maybe next year. In closing we thank you for the slogan for our next T-shirt "WORSTMETAL RIFFING SINCE THE LAST EXODUS MESS." Thanks a ton for your time and remember to always support your local bands so there wfll be a thriving scene here and we can work together just Hke First, firstly is not proper grammar. Second, "NarcoticNirvana" was a typo but you should be grateful that the allusion was made to that, oh so, successful band from Seattle. Third, I'm sure ifyou were worthy ofappering on a tribute album our in-house compiler, Nardwuar, would be phoning you up and slapping your drool on vinyl. But, no such luck. And last, we're quiteproudof the fact that Mofo set precedent in his review of yow album because The Rocket haled it as welUGotta go clean up the pigeon coop. JULES'GEMS How revealing to read openly white-supremacist bullshit like M. Julian Killam's "Counter-Culture to Sub-Culture" column in your November issue. I hope it's abundantly clear to anyone but a tone-deaf Limey expatriate that all fotms of popular music in the English-Speaking worid (with the exception, as he points out, of Brit- Folk) originated in America, or more properly the Americas. Everyone borrows continually from that eternally flowing < Brits mort of aH. Killami ' contributions of "African Slaves," but really Wo ws his cover wilh "I wouldn' t be surprised if all music as we know it evolved from a waltz written by some few living in the Teutonic region in Europe." And there we have it; I wouldn't be surprised if you evolved from a squid you racist motherfucker. I never expected rocket scientists to contribute to this mag.butJesus... okay, I'll say it once, pay attention carefully now: rock and roll, blues, jazz, gospel, ska, hip hop, reggae, soul See any connection? The fudring Limey'ssteal all their forms from black Americans, over and over again, "refining" them from brown to while Kke the sugar rhe slaves died to produce for the British Empire, making it palatable for lame, anemic youth whose feet would tangle at the first hint of syncopation and porymeter. And so it continues today. As for Killam' s vaunted "alternative," all I can say is it makes a damn fine marketing label, best translated as "talentless, fucked-up, middle-class white youth with no ambition play to their peers." The Sex Pistols were a bad joke by Malcolm McLaren that some sad shitheads took seriously, and God help us, still do. Killam, get your thick Teutonic- head out of music's own trash can, stop subjecting your poor ears to the toxic raving of junkies, and check out what's happening beyond Albion's pale shore. Michael Anderson Dear Airhead: I'vefound mort of Jules Killam's stuff in Discorder to be mildly interesting, but "How to Have Fun over Qnist- mas" (Dec '91) stands head and shoul- den above the rert, if only for iu iOogic- ity. Mr. Killam repeatedly disparages thoce he describe! m "politically oar red," unrig such incisive and insightful wading as "_ They're aH assholes. I hate that fucking bunch." But wait, it gets lamer. He also states, "I'd like to see the end of enviro-hypocrisy,"and in the next breath says, "But what I'd really like to see is people ._ being vocal... Apparently younger women feel they have no more need to fight for equality — that they have enough & [sic] are cement." What the fix*? I He's just spent a portion af the article slagging those who are"being vocal," maligning them with the epithet "politically correct," and now he'sbcmoaniiigthcdcarth of people "angry about injustice". Even were his comment on "younger women" true, which it patently is not, his concluding paragraph would still be a direct contradiction of his attitude in the rest of the piece. Mcthinks Mr. Killam was into the Bailey's Irish Cream a bit ahead of time. Having said that, "Sex in glass elevators wilh dead farm animals" stayed me. And I guess it's a hopeful sign that Discorder finally published something worth paying attention to, if only to point out ils stupidity. Viola Funk Vancouver WANK YOU VERY MUCH O Things of Discorder I can't put into words how much i hate this time of year, all of this Xmush wank. So I was worry'd and annoyed when I opened your Decemtryr issue and saw on ye contents page that you had l woQiristmas features. But reading M Jules Killam't delightful "How to Have Rm Over Christmas" proved a happy surprise. Thanx for printing it. Chris Uren is an exceptionally good writer. I hope the author can find a more interesting use of talent than ye ho- hum yam in this issue. I read it and kept saying, "What's the point?" You aU is really into this Xmas shit, though, judging from the surnames used in "Office Use Only." Oh well, I guess someone has to enjoy this wretched time of year.Me.afterwalking downtown surrounded by morons in front of department stores ringing theyr irritating befls, I came home and crank the Discharge "Why"e.p. and scream alcng with the angst I loved the Alice in Chains interview, especially when Jerry Cantrell confessed, "I don't know what grunge is." I've always hated that Seattle was supposed to have a "sound" by which we were musically known world-wide. Il sounded like bloody hype, and so limiting. I'm not anti-labels, mind I call meselTpunk"and listen topunkmusic, but punk was never a limiting term for meltdidn'tmeanlhadtokxicacertam way or listen to a certain kind of music, lt opened the way to all kinds of ahema - tives. There should be "Seattle sounds," not one specific "sound." Of course, in ye ten years I've been a punk, I've seen other punx use theirKfestyle in a limiting way. They'll dress hardcore only, listen to "cool" bands only, and scorn all those who don't do likewise. Il's such a dique mentality, and it imitates the narrow- minded system punk set out to smash. I get so pissed when I see gnarly punx make fun of others who aren't so hardcore. You know, "Oh, wow, PIL, how punk, man — HAI HAI HA! HAt" It sux, punx picking of punx. I noted that CartrcH thinks weU of Singles, the film that was inspired by the Seattlemuoc scene, maybel'mabore to be upset by the idea of the fihn.bull hale the idea of turning our suxic scene into aHollywoodlhing.Iexpectthemovieto be a rock'n'roll cliche, so if il's anywhere as cool as Cantrell makes it out to be in your Alice in Chains interviewl'll be fairly surprised. Nay, I'll be flippin' shocked! I didn't enjoy your treatment on The Pixies, cus I love iheir attitude when being interviewed, and this piece in DiSCORDER was flat-out boring. Perhaps Rob Boper thought a straight interview would be too boring, and tries to make his piece fanciful and clever, but it didn'l work. I'm sad to sec that Judith's fascinating "Subtext" column will become bi-monthly, it being my favorite piece every issue and the main reasonlpick up DiSCORDER. Hopefully you'll maybe give her two full pages for future columns? Being an author myself, il gives my poor old heart a flow of warmth to see a literary column in a rock music publication. It's so cool to see you encouraging young people to read. I don't mean that to sound condescending. I keep reading about the lack of reading skills in today's youth, and it is a source of anguish. So to see your "Subtext" column gives me a bit more hope. Sony ifl complained icomuch about somccfihLsLssuc'sfeatunxScemsablTudc to complain when the 'zine is fiee.

Why not thee. Lucifer. Devil bunnies.'Walchoutforyourfree SHINDIG! CLTR/Shindig/Airhead On Monday. Dec. 2nd I-checked out" Shindig at the Railway. I enjoyed myself until the "jokes for beer," which were in very poor taste. The truly bad taste however, was exhibited by the "judges". Who are these jokers? Are they members of Jeff—a Tragic Mu- latu/'Seattle sound" rehash—or of Crush—a vocalist with lyric sheet in hand, a bassist who played a total of three notes, andadrummcrwhoused 1/ 10 of his kit!? Or do these "judges" simply not subscribe to the same reality as I? I have no problem with Jeff winning, as they did what they did well, but Posse of One were the highlight of the night. They had the best musicians on each category hands down, (although Jeff* s drummer was also excellent) and put on a great, original, well rehearsed show. They were not without their faults, but Posse of One were fun and energetic where the others were redundant and boring. Lastly, kudos to Jeff s "vocalist"! Fuck Shindig and long live Beamer Dear Discorder WHATHAPPENEDTOSHIN- DIG? Or what the hell is wrong with the people at Ihe Railway Club. Monday December 2 when a band (or should I caH them this) Hke "Jeff" wins, I think to myself, who was at the Railway Oub lhat night? Were the judges slipped an unknown substance into their drinks? Or were the judges even present, when "Posse of One" was on stage. These guys weren't the boring blase butter brained bullshit (Rory Tail— thanks for the quote) I heard from the other 2 bands. These guys are something to see but the crowd was too comolosed to If these guys played Portland, they'd be a sure fire hit! Can't the judges of Shindig see this? "Posse of One" has too loss the sflly string though. Wen "Jeff," fuck you and the hone you rode on!!!I And leam to play the guitar. Billy Chuck CYCLONEOFTHRTYSOME- THNGHATE Dear Airhead, last issue you were pondering why you haven't been receiving any letters, weU, I miss 'em too. Cheer up! Things are bound to change. In f aa I wiU take you up on your offer to air whai's right/wrong with Discorder right now. Let'sget one thing straight: Even when Discorder is bad, it'sgood. Know what I mean? Creative writing on the kind of music/subjects one doesn't find everywhere. Okay...that said, I have to comment on last month's "Real Live Action" page. IMHO (in my humble opinion—computer jargon) I had problems with the review of the house party (wilh music par the Evap- Here goes: At almost three columns the review was too long and more importantly, I felt Grant was incredibly hateful — well put the bounds of a "review", this writing turned into a personal vendetu againrt others gathered at this "party" (some fun). It was weU written (I thought the phrase "cyclone of teenage hate" was wonderful) bul loo damn vicious for me. My main point is...does Discorder wish to print public reviews of private functions? This practice, which we have all teen before in these pages, is elitist and cliquish...again IMHO. Surely then- were odier am ceils which could have been reviewed for the December issue, does Discorder wantAecd more contributers? If so, spread the word. There! I have a headache now. Anyhow, before I go...dah dah dum..lucky Chris Patterson of White Rock was the winner of a signed hardcover copy of Qive Barker's latest,Imajica (Re: boffo Oct subtext giveaway). He was reading Doslo- evsky's Crime and Punishment and faves include A Clockwork Orange and anything by William Gibson.

One such person was CiTR member Nardwuar the Human Serviette. For those of you who have forgotten, Nardwuar had one other fateful encounter with Jello, lasting only seconds before Mr. Biafra tossed him aside hke used tissue. Well, this time Nardwuar was determined not to let some "has -been" get the best of him and accosted Jello after his show. But instead of having egg on his face, this time he got ink. Here are the transcripts of these two interviews, which I aged to get a hold of. MAY 1989 Nardwuar: Mr. Biafra, can we ask you a question? Biafra: Real fast. Nardwuar: Okay, what is the difference between an American and a Canadian? Biafra: That's for you to decide. Nardwuar: What right does the me dia have to pry into things? Biafra: Well your prying right now. Nardwuar: And is that allowed? Biafra: I'm allowing now against my better judgement because your question are awfully stupid. Nardwuar: But the thing is wouldn't it be nice to suck up to nice little cub reporters and lick them? What are you thoughts in regard to that: people phoning you, hounding you, trying to track you down. How do you deal with since you have been elevated in society? Biafra: Well, kinda like this. I say farewell to you, sir. NOVEMBER 1991 Nardwuar: Hey, Mr. Biafra can we ask you a question? Biafra: Oh my God, it's Nardwuar with a camera I And I've got a marker, tool Nardwuar: I was wondering Jello...[Mr. Biafra proceeds to put jiffy felt zebra stripes all over Nardwuar's mug.) Biafra: He's speechless and he's gotta go to work tomorrow. Nardwuar: Jello Biafra, do the American people have the government that they deserve? Biafra: I would say they have the government that some people deserve. But the ones lhat deserve it are inflicting it cm us and not obeying their own laws. Nardwuar: Are you a Democrat or an Anti-Fascist? Biafra: I would say some of both. Nardwuar: Could you be in the same vein of speakers, or artistes, such as, and you mentioned their names this evening, Rollins, MacKaye, and the Zappa? Are you in that league of these gentlemen, Mr. Biafra, are you in the league of these artistes? Biafra: Oh, I would say as much as you are in the league of Rush Lum- ball. Nardwuar: Finally, I was wondering, looking at your belt buckle right here. I've charted the progress of this star belt buckle, throughout the years. What is the true story behind your metallic waste-supporter, Jello Biafra? Biafra: Well, I got it when I was fifteen years old because I thought it looked like Jim Dandy's buckle of Black Oak Arkansas. Nardwuar: And you've kept wearing it since? Could there be actual Dead Kennedys' spit on it? Biafra: Yeah, it probably has some of yours too. Nardwuar: Finally, we have a nice present for you Jello Biafra, a lucky chestnut. Biafra: Thank you, it looks like a chocolate covered Nardwuar: Oh, Jello, say good-bye. Biafra: Gooood Bye. You're gonna be sure to put me on the same compilation as Ceasaret ses Remains aren 't you? Nardwuar: Yes, sir! II The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. People who went to see Billy Bragg last month will already know this - TheDisposableHeroesofHiphoprisy are very, very good. Michael Franti (rap) and Rono Tse (chains, electric grinder, wheel rims, air-raid siren and percussion)are twoex-Beatnigs, taking rap another step forward by fusing it to industrial noise and jazz, like asort of cross between, errr... Gil Scott-Heron, Test Department and Meat Beat Manifesto. Add to this Michael's intelligent and lucid thymes, dealing with socially relevant themes in fresh ways, and...No! not just another rap bandl I talked to them at CiTR on the afternoon before their second show at the Commodore, the first national day of mourning for the fourteen women murdered at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Discorder: Where did the name come from? Mkhael: We used tobe in The Beatnigs, and we've always tried to reflect in our name something challenging, thought provoking. The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - The "disposable heroes" element first of all relates to the representation of black men in America being held up as either athletes or entertainers. A lot of young people in America, myself included, grew up thinking that they were either gonna be professional basketball players or professional entertainers, and, at a certain point the myth can die and can leave a young person wilh nothing in their lives except what's left of their body, broken dreams, after neglecting their school as a result of trying to become a famous < Disposable MTV rappers? MUhaelrYeah. The element "Hiphoprisy" deals with the hypocrisy which often ensues when one is trying to be an artist of conscience in an in du s try which has no conscience. With a lot of political rap music, first of all it's a very short sighted analysis of racial or social-political ideas and also, from our own experience of being in the Beatnigs - an overtly political group - a lot ofthe times the politics of the group don't match up with the what the members of the group do in their own personal lives. Do you think that rap Is a good way to get across to people? People who wouldn't normally be susceptible to this sort of message? Rono: Yeah, I think that, for me, coming from Oakland, the way I was brought up, I wasn't exposed to the type of allemativemessages and ideas that can open your mind. Knowing Mike for about seven yean, we both have learned from each other about different topics,being aman in America, political issues that deal with my race (Rono is Asian-American] and his race [Mike is African-American] that I always get reminded of - just during this tour I've had so many racial slurs -1 think that this project is trying to better ourselves, and it's a constant struggle. What type of feedback are you getting from the audiences? Mkhael: The audience on this tour is the Billy Bragg audience, and most of them have never heard of us. Billy Bragg's audiences are largely leftist, young, white and enjoy alternative types of music. So for us to come as a rap group, and wc use a lot of weird instruments, some metal stuff and some sparks and grinders, for some of the audience il's like "Wow, that's something I've never seen before". A lot of people who like Billy Bragg are open and receptive or at least critically thinking, so they've rocked the house. Last night everyone was jumpin' and dancin'and listening to what we had to say. So a Billy Bragg tour is a good one for you? Ml Chock Yeah, 'cos we say the same things [as Billy], we just come from different neighborhoods. You've just talked about growing up as men in America. How do you think the current swell of gangster rap is affecting young people from your kind of backgrounds? Rono: It adds on lo the landfills, y'know? When you buy your tape, you listen to the beats then you listen to the lyrics it just plugs ii inlo your brain. How are you gonna see other things, doors being opened, that being a man you don't have to be showing these aggressions, that you don't have to aa the way that you hear on the radio? I feel that, as artists, they should set some examples. People who do put out this type of stuff - and I do enjoy some of the beats they have - definitely should be criticized. Michael: Ithinkthatwhatyouseein rap music is something that is systemic and ritualistic throughout patriarchal society, not only in America but in Canada and in Europe, Asia... Today is a perfect example. Remembering the fourteen women who were killed two years ago to this day hopefully will bring out, for a lot of people, the reality of misogyny in society and how, for most men, you grow up learning to express three emotions - Laughter, Anger, and "Let's have sex" - and when you deviate from those, you are either accused of being a sissy or a wimp or queer or whatever. The song "Language of Violence" is about ihe use of language to reduce people lo a point where when we perpetuate violence against them we're not hurt- by Pete Lutwyche. ing an individual, a human being. And today is a perfect example of lhat. We're living in this patriarchy where women are second-class citizens. Women have violence acted against them every day. We see it in our own families, growing up. Male violence dominates and pervades our whole society, from football games to what happened in Iraq. So rap music does perpetuate that in many ways, and so does heavy metal, and the government, advertising, movies. Not to let rap music off the hook, but as we criticize those rappers, we alsonecd to understand thai it's something pervading our entire society. Rono: And I will comment lhat wc men need to get together and talk aboul these issues, and that's the first and the hardest ihing. This seems to be a good time to bring up television, as the average North American child spends more time In front of the TV than at school, learning society's values. Mkhael: For a long time I viewed television as something that should be gotten rid of. Then, at a certain point, I realized that we're never gonna get rid of television, it's impossible, there's too much money involved. The thing that we now need to do is understand that television is not a subjective medium. Tele - vision is just technology. The programming is subjective. In America it's controlled by a very small group of corporate families which control not only what gels on TV, but the products lhat arc sold through television. It's important that people of conscience, producers and consumers, begin to create and determine what will be viewed on television, begin to put things on television that can, in fact, be viewed critically as opposed to passively. Most of what' s on TV now you take in almost through osmosis. It is possible - as we saw with the Rodney King incident - for the power of television over the course of one night to change the worlds perceptions of the way the police treat black people in America. That was as a result of one person with one home video camera, and access to video cameras and public access television stations.means lhat anyone can put a program together, have people view it and get a response to it That democratization of television is something which I encourage and look forward to. Ixt's take control of it, let's use it for our purposes and maybe we can hold our governments responsible for caring for people. In being a father, there's a lot of really radical ideas that I've had that I've changed to ideas of just caring for people. I don't feel like in America we're ever going lo have a radical government, but maybe we can get a government that cares about people. minis cont'd on page 8 JANUARY Q I L O V E I T I C R A V E I T I N E E D I T I W A N T I T ON ROBSON ^ Now serving coffee and salads too. 1175 Robson 1937 Cornwall Vancouver's Largest Selection of Almost New and Used Paperbacks and Magazine Back Issues Large Range of Hard Cover Books Thousands of New and Collector's Comics We Buy, Sell or Trade 1247 Granville near Davie 682-3019 3347 Kingsway 430-3003 Open 7 Days a Week The Indecisives By Rory Tait "Have a nice day," "More Coffee," "Good Intentions," "Uncle Art..." These aren't your regular pop underground song titles, and The Indecisives are not your regular Vancouver rock band. Singer/song writer/guitarist, Zaf, has survived a plague of lineup changes in the few months that The Indecisives have been playing around town, usually at the Cruel Elephant Through the miracle of Georgia Straight musician's ads and maybe a bit of good hick, the band is back to a power trio format with Codfish Dan on bass and vocals and Steve on percussion. Look out for an independently released 7" coming out soon, as the band will heading into Deadbeat to record tracks for the single. I talked to the boys over coffee at one af the downtown's finer eateries... Discorder: I guess my main question refen to your lyric*—Dak (QTR demo director) described the demo of "Have a Nice Day" as "Dada- rock." What are you t convey in your lyrics? Zaf: A lot of it is just st rea ylhavet ties done, it's just basically word play. I write a lot of surrealistic poetry, except I do it all sober. I'm not one Dan: He speaks for himself only an that I Zar: I'm the only one is the band who doesn't like lo get involved in that kind of stuff. I just try to come up with really bizarre and strange ideas, different concepts, and placing different images together. Discorder: I was also wondering about that one song about some dirty old man... Zaf: "Uncle Art?" Discorder: Yeah! Dan & Steve: What? We haven't heard this one yetl Zaf: I haven't played lhat one to them yet. What about it? Discorder. I was just wondering what it was about, 'cause I've only been able to pick out a few lines. Something about little girls, and... Zaf: "Uncle Art reads dirty books/ Uncle Art takes them pills/Uncle Art likes little girls/Uncle Art needs cheap thrills." Steve: Good ol' Uncle Art! Discorder: So is this a real uncle of yours, oris he a fictional composite? Dan: It's autobiographical! Zaf: He's just some old guy in my neighbourhood in West Van who inspired me to write songs. We just played that song at Shindig to fill up space; it's the first song I ever wrote. Dan: Off to a good start! Discorder: So what's it like lobe an artist living in West Van? Steve: They 've got life too easy over there, they don't have anything to write about! Zaf: No. see, life is pretty tough overthere because all the 7-11 's aren't open 24 hours. They close at 11. Steve: A www! Zaf: And all the kids just hang out al Ambleside Beach and build bonfires. Discorder: When I first saw you it sorta reminded me of K Stuff, like Beat Happening—is that a conscious influence? Zaf: In regards to the music, vocals, or arrangements? Disorder: I guess the arrangements and ihe vocals.-You've got that reaUy low voice, and sometimes you go into a monotone, and...uh, I don't want to bruise anyone's ego here, but... Dan: You can't sing. Zaf! Discorder: I've just been in some really big arguments with people at the station whodidn'l really like you. And I would say lhat I thought you were really original and had good songs, and these people would scream at me and say "but ihey' re shit I They suck! They couldn't play their instruments and ihey couldn 'I sing and they were shil!" And I would be saying, "No, no...you have to look at il differently.." Dan: That' s great 11 love to hear people say lhat! Zaf: It's just like the punk movemen_..'cause when lhal started people said, "They can't sing and they can't play their instruments." Even though punk bands were writing better songs than all those established bands could ever hope to write. This music really comes from our heart, we're playing stuff that we want to play... it's not like we're all pre-packaged with spandex and stuff. Discorder: How about that Kiss Zaf: The country version of "Stiut- terT'That was quite interesting, but it's land af old hat now. You am only do that so much. Kiss were one of the only mainstream bands who had cool riffs, even though their lyrics were totally stupid. Now we're into covering Stompin' Tom. Tapioca Talk With Crimson Seeds by Lee-Ann Hooker "What the hell is tapioca anyway?" Such was the recent reaction from Vancouver folk-rock trio Crimson Seeds when I invited ihem over for a little "custard and conversation." Nonetheless, they graciously accepted. After all, il's not everyday that a writer will literally spoon feed you through an inter- Crimson Seeds were formed over two years ago when guitarist Tim Hinds, bassist Richard Western and drummer Jamie Teskemel in high schooL The trio soon discovered they shared the same fondness for groups like ihe Clash, Sex Pistols and the Que, among others. "Back then we were called The Rain," says Jamie. "Yeah, then one day we were walking down the street and we overiieard some guys sayin' * Hey, The Rain 'scorning to town'," adds Tim,"and it was another band so we had to change our name." The group is more than a bit adamant about not divulging the meaning of their current name, so TCI leave it to yourim agination. Tim recalls Jamie's admiration for a certain Mack clad country singer "Who was lhat guy, Jamie7" asks Tim with a devilish grin on his face. "Johnny Cash," replies Jamie, visibly unimpressed by the question. Hey.noth- in'wrong with Johnny Cash. Folk rock being the populargenre of music that it is in Vancouver, one has to wonder how a young band can keep afloat, let alone prosper. The Grapes of Wrath have done it, and Spirit of the West, to name a couple, but just as they are adamant about explaining what their name implies,Crimson Seeds are equally unwilling to be typecast as another Vancouver folk band. "That description is very limiting, unfortunately, il's the best way to describe us," claims Richard. "We don't really try to fit in wilh the Vancouver sound, as it were," adds Tun. "I do have an idea in my head of what the perfect band would sound like, and we all just try to make the kind of music lhal we'd wanl lo hear, but nobody else seems to be doing it" The public seems to agree. Crimson Seeds wan a Canada wide contest in 1990 which enabled one of their songs. Here Comes Another Day. to be included on the Poolwest Unsigned 1990 Compilation cassette, as well as receive radio airplay. A two song demo was alio recorded after Ihey won first place ki the 1990 North Shore Youth Counterattack Battleoflhc Bands. The demo featured I Still Smile and Fix The World, two songs which Tun claims no longer do the band justice but are really quite exceptional when performed live. Crimson Seeds' gigs, when open to all ages, are becoming increasingly harderto see since they've begun to sell out shortly after being announced. "We just sold out an all ages show in North Van," says Richard. "That was cool in a way but of course some people wanted to come and couldn't get in, and nobody likes to turn people away, so it was land of too bad that the venue wasn't bigger. It's frustrating for the younger crowd who seed Crimson Seeds' posters plastered around town and then can't get into the venue because it's a nineteen and over show, too." An independent album featuring new and revamped versions of current songs is in the works for release in early 1992. "Our goal wilh the album is to basically broaden our audience," explains Richard. "The compilation tape wc were on is quile hard lo come by—I think I've seen il in Track Records but that's about it—so we really want to make somelhing that people can get their hands on because right now there's nothing, except if they come to a gig." Those interested in catching the Crimson Seeds before the album is available can do so on January 20 al The Railway Club and ai 86 Street on January 22. Prospective groupies hoping to win their favou rare encouraged to come prepared with plenty of tapioca on hand. Right,guys...? 8 TEtR^THFTM^- Pegboy comes from Chicago. They are: Larry Damons, big beef-boy, who sings and acts like a knob on stage; John Haggerty, ex-Naked Raygun member, guitarist; Joe Haggerty, John's brother, drummer, Steve Saylors, bass player. I spoke to Joe and Steve at the Cruel Elephant after their show. Pegboy: How'd you hear about Pegboy? Discorder: Well...there's the obvious Naked Raygun connection, and your album is getting a bit of airplay at CiTR. I guess I can forget all my Naked Raygun questions since John Joe: I can answer them for you. Steve: He's John's brother. D: Have you noticed a big change in N »ked Raygun since John left? (Like the fact that they suck.) Joe: WeU, they were never a big touring band. That's why John quit. Those guys aren't very aggressive about progressing. D: LarTy made a couple of comments about Subpop earlie r tonight... Steve: Larry said a lot of things tonight. Don't listen to Larry. Joe: Yeah, we're all real lired. We've been driving our asses off. We played Winnipeg on Tuesday, Calgary last night and here tonight. Wc didn't get fed tonight by the Cruel Elephant or anything. [Cruel Elephant Owner: You guys waiting for a van? Joe: No, we're just doing a real Owner: (Belligerently).- am I. Right now.] D: I took a look at your lyric sheet for "Strong Reaction" before I came down here and it seemed to me that your lyrics are pretty melancholic and alienated. Does that sound about right? Steve: Yeah, that's pretty much Larry. We all write the music, but Larry in particular concentrates on the lyrics. It's more a reflection on his perspective than any of ours. Joe: He's not really like that. He's totally dramatizing things. Steve: He's like this. (Enter Larry.) We're doing a little interview here with Mindy. Larry: Do I have to join in? I'm reallytired. (Who wouldn'tbe after an exhausting stage show that consisted of energetically giving the audience the finger al two minute intervals?) Steve: Have you met Mindy? Larry: Hello Mindy. Hello Radio. (Exit Larry.) Steve: We all sort of agree that the lyrics are secondary to the music. Joe: Hey, is the owner of this place always such a dickhead? He's a piece of shit. We loaded in after driving through the fucking Rockies and we wanted some Cokes and he said no, not until the bar opens. I'd like it noted that I think lhal guy D: I'll put that in. (The opinions expressed by the band are not necessarily those of Discorder or CiTR, but the guy was being an asshole.) Steve: The thing I've noticed about most Canadians is the baggy bottoms. What's with the big D: You can get long underwear under them. How do you like your jeans? Steve: Medium rare. Ask us more personal questions. D: Like what? Steve: What kind of underwear D: What kind? Joe: Boxers. Steve: Usually with Garfield or hearts on them. Joe: Steve wears boner underwear. Like Speedo. Steve: Not G-string, but almost. Actually, I wear BVDs, wilh the access panels. So I don't have to drop trowel when I have lo pee when we're touring. Boxers are for men who don't have large penises. You wear underwear for support. Men who wear boxer shorts don't need support. I'm not saying that Joe, you know, bul... D: Is that on a par with hand size? Steve: You mean the bigger the hand...I have really small hands. D: Was Larry ever in a frat? Joe: No, but he looks like it, doesn't he? That's kind of a rule, that no Pegboy was ever in a frat. Steve: He was a jock in high school. His dad used lo play for the Bears with Coach Ditka. But anyhow, Larry's a regular guy. He likes to flip people off. THINGS YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PEGBOY AS ASKED BY MINDY ABRAMOWITZ.

JANUARY 0 s u B T E X T SECRETS ENTRUSTED TO A FEW In 1977, V. Vale, who had worked tl San Francisco's Oly Ijghu bookstore for yean 'n years began lo drcubae his 'nne Search A Destroy which through 11 Biues becametheWes»oo«3t'i"punk" J BY JUDITH BEEMAN Let me be the first to break the good news: ANGRY WOMEN, the latest release from Re/Search, is out I received an advance copy and am pleased to report it is a thick (240 pp), juicy, wonderfully aggressive celebration of womanhood. Expect it in town early this Angry Women consists of 15 interviews wilh performance artists and writers who have devoted themselves fully to their art and beliefs. There is not a sissy in this bunch. The interviews — conducted primarily by Andrea Juno, female of the Re/Search duo — range in topic from lessons learned from the sexual "revolution" to politics, AIDS and gender roles. A detailed history of each woman's performance background is reported in the clear, concise and upbeat pattern which is the Re/ Search credo. In this case, the artists themselves describe past work (documented with 135 photos). Just who are we talking aboul? From the more familiar Kathy Acker (writer). Lydia Lunch and Karen Finley (victim ofthe NEA) to lesser known Kerr & Malley (pro-choice art), Avltal Ronell (cullural theorist) and Susie Bright (brilliant lesbian sex writer aka Susie Sexpert) these women all deserve wider recognition. The most amazine profile is of Linda Montano who has sought to eradicate the barriers between "art" and "life" over the past 25 years. Take the year (yep, 365 days) she spent tied at the waist with an 8- foot-rope to artist Teching Hsieh; they didn't touch once. Then there's the playful time she became a "bell ringer" for the Sally Ann at Christmas. At present she's just completing her "7 years of Living Art" project in which she...well, you'll have to read the book, it's Diamanda Galas, in the first interview shows this isn't a bunch of complacent chicks chatting over tea and sympathy. Galas, rightfully pissed off at any death from AIDS 10 E__^g°EEE_gLi~i (includingherbrothers)hasforyean devoted her art—avant-garde operatic wailing, here referred to as "musical assaults" — to emotional healing through the power af the voice. Her most recent recording is Plague Mass (performed last summer in Seattle). Three women of colour are represented: City of Angels Poet Wanda Coleman; feminist theorist bell hooks and Sapphire, whose poems and short stories describe intense, often horrific events while balancing a sense of hope (she had been a childhood victim of incest) Lydia Lunch, early punk vocalist (Teenage Jesus & the Jerks), underground film sur and allround tuff girl is only 31! Her interview touches on her abusive childhood, female diseases and her film work (notably with Richard Kern, Penn & Teller). Check out Adulterer's Anonymous, co-written with Exene Cervenka (1982, Grove). Karen Finley, the thrilling performance artist (ever see Mondo New York?) relates to her poem The Black Sheep (page 47 — a masterpiece on AIDS and family); societies obsession with motherhood and her art. For more on Karen read Re/Search' s Pranks or her collection of mono- loques and essay s, Shock Treatment, released last year by City Lights. Holly Hughes gained al 1990 (along with fellow artist Finley) when her NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) grant was revoked. In 1989 the US Congress equated homoeroticism with obscenity. Holly, a tatirical-lesbian- playwright was in trouble. Her discussion focuses on sexual identity, community and the art scene in New York. Each interview has a different pretty flower border, which brightens up the text One catch: the last page of Angry Women shows a "Poisonous Flower" index.

PEOPLE ARE READING Ever wonder what people are reading? I do. Viola Funk, who may or may not be an Angry Woman, took the lime to write and tell subtext RE/SEARCH#ll.Pm#its/ (1987) This weighty tome contains the great disclaimer "intended for entertainment and humour purposes only. Neither the contributors nor the publishers will assume responsibility for the use or misuse of any information contained within this book." A social history of "the prank" consisting of interviews wilh everyone from Jello Biafra to Boyd Rice to —coolness of coolnesses—Earth First! No wonder about the disclaimer when you run across cases like that of "a night watchman (who) figured out how to get into a bank's computer system and shaved a penny a day off every single account, transferring it into his own. By the time he was caught he had amassed something like $2.5 million!" That's a tame example, but there's also lots of stomach-turning stuff and just plain weird shit in here as well. Check out the photo of Mark McCloud—he's the spitting image of the drug-dealer-guy in Withnailandl. I borrowed this from my roomate; I don't know if you can still get it in stores but it's worth trying Scratch (or Granville Books-J.) WILLIAM MORRIS News from (1890) Herewith, the flip side of the c< a vision of a utopic society in which pranks would ha ve no validity, cause in this world everything rules. No cops, no courts, no Parliament (well, the Parliament buildings still exist, but they're used as manure storage vaults), no shopping malls—sounds like a recipe for bliss to me. Forget Huxley and Zamyatin and those guys—theirs were dystopias. Morris is where il's at "Said I: 'How do you manage with politics?' Said Hammond, smiling: "...I will answer your question briefly by saying that we are very well off as to politics— because we have none.'" WILLIAM FAULKNER Light in August (1932) Back into the sickening doldrums of human life as we know it in the 20th century. Blatantly racist, sexist, and just a hard pill to swallow in general, this, the first and only Faulkner I've read, takes you on a crawl through the slimy underbelly of the Deep South that you're not liable to forget sootj—howevermuch you may want to. A gruelling read. LOUISE FTTZ HUGH Harriet the Spy (1964) I finally got around to re-reading this childhood favourite of mine — and I appreciated it even more now than I did back then. Harriet's one liberated, ahead-of-her-time, butt-kick- in' chick, a role model for me even now. "Harriet, that's ridiculous. An onion is a beautiful thing. Have you ever really looked at an onion?' Miss El son was losing all touch with reality. 'I will NOT do it.'...*Harriet, that is QUITE enough.' 'I won it. I quit'..."You can't quit This is a SCHOOL'..." I howled. And I empathised. GEORGE BAILEY Sex, Pot A. Acid (1968) Whoa. This '11 mess with your mind more than any combination of the three items in question ever could, believe me. The book suffers from a severe case of split personality: prohibition-crazed, pseudo-scienfitic rants against drugs alternate with chapters of depraved, explicit drug- induced orgies that revel in all the gory details. (The premise being that a single acid-soaked sugar cube will send you into paroxysms of animalistic lust) Psycho-demented ambivalence, or what?!? I especially would not recommenl reading this while stoned or on acid, cause it'll sen ly FUCK with your mind. The friend whose copy (complete with a really cheesy cover) I read found it cheap in some secondhand-bookstore dive. Good luck hunting it down. Go & experience the Ragged Rich. It's a band In evolution. You can pick out folk- rock, country. & the blues. It's so deep. They're best live & when they get direction, they'll be great. Watch them. I hate that stupid Salt'n'Pepa song. Let's Talk About Sex. I mean, puh-lease. "Uh, I'll give It a 73, Dick. It's got a nice beat & I can dance to It." It's treatment of sex Is so childish. I'm sure It's a glggler for 14-year olds who've never had sexual juices gushing down their throats. But let'sgetdown to the nitty grttty (that was originally slang tor going down on a woman). I'm gonna be candid. I'm a sex- flend & something of a pervert. Maybe It's 'cause I'm a Scorpio. Right. Uke I'm gonna fall for that. Have you seen the dumb grt doing astrology In the Province? I doubt he could tell his dick from a pencil let alone know my fate by looking at the stars. So I suppose I'l be a randy bugger for the rest of my ife, which Is fine wtth me. Call me odd, but I enjoy sex. Immensely. Totally. Absolutely. I've got a dirty mind. I see sex In everything. I have this Incredible urge to go down Hornby Street & paint out all the B's on the street signs. O and the Bible; that bit about the burning bush, I mean, omlgod! Burning bush! I was tucking her for a while. Everyone fantasises about celebrities. Take the David Bowie thing. Everyone I know wants him. I myself would rather do his girlfriend. Iman. And I'd try Madonna too but I've got friends who'd enjoy her more. Here's some useful Information. Green smartles are an aphrodisiac. Possibly a superstition, possibly not. And If someone has an Itchy nose, they're homy. So anyhow, i like sex. A lot. The problem isl Uve In the suburbs. I'm ashamed to admit which so I won't. But ^^mmm damn It's hard to get sex here, especially nowadays with AIDS. understand It If she's never had an orgasm that melts the synapses In her brain 'cause If she had. she couldn't do without. And honestly. I haven't met a woman who can't have six orgasms to every one I have. Actually I have. This one girl, after her first two. she would have these throbbing, thrashing super- orgasms for nearly a minute. I can't recall ever holding off long enough to give her six. I am so pissed off! My fave pizza place In Gastown changed hands & now It's the shiftiest stuff I've ever had. Help. I need suggestions for good eats In Gastown. Anyhow. There's this rumor I've heard about myself for quite awhile & I think It's about time to tell the truth. Supposedly, one day at a club, I was In the Men's room fucking this girl. Well, I wasn't there that night. I hated the band & wouldn't have gone anyhow. I've never had sex In that club (that I remember). Mostly though. I know I never fucked her under any circumstance (my fault my mistake I'm pretty dense you know). I'm really quite fond of sex. So did you go to the Twilight Zone's Hallowe'en Fetish Ball? (note to minors: they didn't check ID that night) There were people there In their semi-nude S&M gear & It made me realize. In our ersatz culture, sex & sexuality are Important. I once thought It was the meat-market mentality of the club scene, but I noticed that whether It was the Gay scene or the Bondage scene or whatever. It was accepted & sometimes expected. It wasn't deviant. It was healthy. And without the prejudices of earlier generations, maybe we'll be Instrumental In Improving society. Ifyou watch TV (I hope you don't) you can't help but notice sex so It must be out there. Andlf you still don't believe sex Is important, consider this: GQ. the manual for the cultured m an, has a circulation of 700.000 copies. Penthouse, which is gratuitous sex & nudity, has a circulation of 1.6 million copies. Interesting thing about nudity. The only people who call me Julian are people who have seen me naked or people who want to. I suspect everyone sees a psycho for a while. I myself was one & I must have left some vicious mental scars. We're talking bad relationships. Violently vamplrlc. greed feeding on anguish, desperation feeding on pain. So typically male It's disgusting. Just one huge horrible mlnd-fuck. Sure. I'm wacko. That may be why people do weird shit by M. Jules Killam SS^Z^r w£ license my raving hands and let them go __3? prostitute but the male ones have to deal wtth fat old queens & I just couldn't stomach tt. I Imagine politically-correct pricks might hate me'cause I'm a boorish. Insensitive pig. That's silly. Hating a man for being a pig Is like killing a dog for farting. Can a dog be changed? You shoot 10 000 volts through a dog every time It farts. It'll stop. And men.... I've also often been accused of having an arrogant, cavalier attitude towards women. I do. I'm a prick. But in fact. I really do love them. All of them. Any of them. I'm open to anything. Vibrators? They're great when I can't get It up for the ninth time. The thing Is you're remote. You don't get your hands dirty, you don't really get to feel It. And let me tell you. I like to feel It. So I've got Ave pillows on my single bed & It's kinda excessive since I sleep alone. It's a firm mattress bed. I hate waterbeds. The/ re no fun to fuck on. I mean.you can geta nice gentle rhythm going but who wants that? Would you rather ride the merry-go-round or the coaster? If you haven't already, try changing your rhythm. Uttle quick spurts of energy, long motionless pauses, slow grinding. So many people are dull when it comes to sex. How much more do you have to learn? I suspect there's not much left for me to learn which is kind of sad. Of course. I can always take delight In Illicit affairs. And slow. tortuous teasing Is always good sex. Guaranteed to give you spasms. About affairs. Ifyou plan on having one. don't be sloppy. Makesureyour lover doesn't leave strange cigarette butts in the ashtray by the bed. And for fuck's sake, keep clean. I've got a healthy sex life. That Is. considering the things I do. The need for sex is not unusual but some of Itsmanlfestatlonsare. Imagine this: You've been seeing this person for a year ^mam or so. then, all of a sudden you find out they like wearing diapers & being potty trained.

New Jersey. New Jersey!? I had the I that you guys were from New York. WeU, I think anyone who lives within 50 to 100 mile- of New York is going todunk that wearefrom New York. To tell you the tiuth I don't think that a lot of the bands han New York are hom I don't know too much about you guys, maybe you'd Ike to give us a Uttle band history ..how did you get together, bow long have you been WeU, we're from Jersey, play in New York a lot, and whal we are is just a bunch of malcontents playing old rock. And we're stickin' it to 'em. We've been playing around for about a year and a half and, unbelievably to me, people actually like this stuff. So, we just put outanew record called Spine of God on Caroline. So, we're talcing il out in a couple weeks across the U_>. and then starting in January well be coming up there (Vancouver). Well probably wind up in Europe by next summer. So have you been In any bands prior to this or is this your first project together? What we've been doing, actually, is changing instrument- for 2 or 3 years before Monster Magnet came about last year. And, as a joke, we started sending out tapes without much at an ear to what was popular, but 'cause we Kke music a lot So, what finally hap- And is that bow the deal with Primo Scree/Caroline came together? Yeah, we released a 7" on a label called Circuit records, a limited edition type thing, and that gat around. From that we got on Glinerhouse, from Germany, who really Hkedii *o we did an EP wilh them. We were contacted by Caroline and lhat's where we are So what's New Jersey uke? New Jersey is pretty much like any American suburb you see on network television. Where I Hve there are two 7-1 l's, a bunch of gas stations with freakshangin' out, lads skatin' around and me driving around in my Camaro. I Hve in a big house, here in the low rent district, which is piled up with equipment and we just play all the time. Is that where you practise too? Yeah, down in the basement. because Ihe Shore scene is old r'n'b and cover bands. It's pretty awfuL What about Bon Jovi? Bon Jovi, yeah, he's from here too. He's got absolutely nothing to do with us whatsoever. We don't have anything in common: Bon Jovi's a rich kid and we're poor lads. I see him driving around in his Mercedes all the time and we throw things al him you gotta pay a producer and they charge big money. Half the time I think they muck il up anyway, and number two, it's fun to do. To go in and make a record is a really, really cool thing. In this situation, with the songs thai I wrote, having written the songs by myself I can hear whal I want them to sound like. Then it was just a matter of getting inthereandfindingout what all those dials and other crap were. I'm still not totally sure what it all means but I 1ft A Satanic Interview Tl^Y^WwiHift Understand-." What's it Bke for musk there? D: We're down at The Shore and The Shore's claim to fame has always been Bruce Springsteen, and that's about where things have stood since the mid- seventies. As far as any kind of music scene around here it's always been pretty hokey. Any punk bands or rock bands don't have many places to play, it doesn't mean there aren't akx of cool bands around, il's just that most of them don't get a chance to breakout Anarchy! More like jealousy. About the new CD. I noticed that you do most of the songwriting. Is this to say that none of the other guys have any input or Is this the way it's always worked? Oh, sure they have input, the songs themselves wouldn'lcome out the same if il wasn't for these guys playing them. I think it's just a matter of me having this hyperactive songwriting gland. So, before the chance that these poor slobs do anything themselves I've already got all the stuff right there. Maybe things will happen in the future where they actually do a lot more writing but as it stands now the band started'cause the songs were there. Youal know what loud and treble mean. I learned alot and I'm actually going to be doing some work wilh a band from California called KYUSS. It keeps me out of trouble. -.and from throwing things at Bon Jovi'scar. Who originally did "Sin's a Good Man's Brother"? Thai's an old Grand Funk [Railroad] song. Alot of that stuffmy older brother listened la He was a big influence on me; I think everybody's cider brother was. I think you're stuck with your influences whether you Kke it or not. I grew up in the 70's, y'know, die age where you listen to stuff and never forget it. It was probably one of the most disgusting decades around Imean, The Six Million Dollar Man., .this is my roots. It may not be the best decade but it's the one I'm stuck with. The 60's didn't really end until the mid seventies. The 60's we're talking about, mu sically, y'know, psychedelia and post- psychedeha, carried onlongerthan anyone would care to remember. The stuff that came before it, fuzz-punk, is the stuff that I really like. I hate to sound Kke a retro-pig but I don't really hear it in new musk at aH As far as the new stuff is concerned, you really gotta scrape to find a handful of really cool bands that make you say, Tm dropping everything and going to out to see these guys I" And who would sumeof those bands be? Bands I like now? Of coune I'm goma be stupid aboutit and say bands that sound old: Soundgarden.. J think DOA really did agood job of working with old riffs. I Kke a lot of the ga- ragey-type stuff that comes out on smaller labels. Critics are going lo give us a lot of crap fordoing this kind of stuff but the thing they tend to forgetis that everybody has their root-s and if they don't like the roots that these bands have it's lough hick. It's the critics' job to push for the future and the bands' job to play from ihe jouL What the band tries to get out of this is Kke an exorcism of all our demons. In the 60's it was fine for a band to do SO's licks, and wear your influences on your sleeve, but now it seems that nobody is happy with anything and if you show even a bit of your influences, that arcn'lpolilically cool al the moment, you're a thief. Speaking of politically cool and exorcising your demons through mu - sic, what doyou th Ink of some of the straight-edge stuff coming from the D.C. area, Hke Fugazi? I think they are truly behind all their stuff. They're as close to the "Rock can move the world" notion but I think, in the cKmste of today, it seems land of silly. Il's like, "You guys think you can change the world through rock?"— gimme a break. If you're gonna say that, go into politics, don't be in a rot k band. It's kind of silly and, in a lot of ways, kind of pitiful too because the spirit of unification among bands Kke thai is really cool and something you really want to gel behind. But, unfortu - nately, in the whole of North America there's nothing to really unify kids these day s because they don't care that much It's not like they're going oul to fight a war or something. So, IT that's what we think Fugazi \ message is to their audience what does Monster Magnet try to project kl'm I'll listen lo something at saying something bu k's pretty much a glorification of imagination. I could never get over the fact that this was a unified freak nation when I was a kid but now I realize that these guys were just renegades for the sake of being renegades. There's no real purpose toil aH and I always thought that was a great contrast. The whole Spine of God album was from the standpoint of one these suburban, gas-nation-working, drug selling. Ksten-to-Led Zeppelin-8 track guys. Most of these guys are still around today and, in fact, most of them are probably working class. If I go to get my car fixed there's one of these guys behind the counter. So, how do you like being on Primo Scree/Caroline? Do you see this developing at all into something bigger? I don't know. With the kind of stuff we're doing now I really don't know. To tell you the truth I don't Kke being on any label The two most opposite things in my Kfe are being in a band and being in a band that' s supposed to make money. The business and the creativity clash constantly. I'm sure I could sit down and read the rockzines, and realize there's things I could do that would increase our odds in being a more popular band,... __>ut that doesn't appeal to you at all? Wdl, the idea of playing musk for a Kving appeals to me greatly, it's just what kind of musk and how far you have to bend over I'm looking forward to making it work but not at the cost of sacrificing the integrity of the music. I think the secret of il is to be happy with what you do, for the sake of doing it, and then if you get any money in after that, it's all gravy. So with the new year arriving, what kind of things can we expect from I don'l tiy to project anything on anybody except for what is in my head. Most of the stuff I write, lyric-wise, is I predict that I will be in somebody's town, somewhere along the line, sleeping or playing. And I'm starting to write again, so there will definitely be a next record and we will be out to play. Il's funny, 'cause you get to the point where you've made your record, and that's supposed to last you for a while, and then you expect great things to happen. I never expected truly great things in the stereotypical sense. I pretty much figured it out that I want the band to be self-sufficient, for me to keep writing wacky songs, and to just go like hell. JANUARY Q&vfto cx/tfrtt-tfeoSQ CoNRSSio^ <% ANorJ-£>iv/jtoMftoJ7AUsr ^AL£7 14 _E_Rg°sn__fn People just want to hear a good pop song: from Ed- dk Cochrane lo Big Star Vo the Buzzcocks to Nirva- na. I mean, sure, grunge was pretty cool. For a wh ile, Soundgarden, Tad and Mudhoney were rockin', and pretty cool for Pacific Northwest bands, but because rock music fans are just lads at heart they can't resist a little bit of bubblegum. Nirvana isn' t exactly K-tel material but Nev- ermind is one of the catchiest records I've heard this year and runs right up there with Heart's Dreamboat Annie as a Northwest classic There's another side to the record as welL For every singalong pop hit like "On a Plain" or "Breed," there's the pure insanity of "Territorial Pissings" or the CD bonus track. And as a counterpoint lo those there are the brooding "Something in the Way" and the controversial "Polly." S ier mind is quite simply a nest record. Fortunately, it being recognized as such __d it has sold over 1,200,000 copies already. Talking lo Dave Grohl, the drummer, al the Commodore prior to Nirvana's sold out show was interesting because it captured the band poised on the brink of stardom. Nevermindhad just gone platinum in the States and had debuted at number 17 on the Billboard sales charts. First of all, I was kind of scared. I mean, every article I had ever read portrayed Nirvana as the Guns* Roses of American indie rock. Stories about them pissing in Ride's champagne bucket at the Reading Festival and trashing Sonic Youth's dressing room were only a couple that I had heard. Secondly, I didn't know how to talk to one of the most exciting bands en the planet without showing that 1 REALLY thought that they were one of the most exciting —Well, anyway, with mixed feelings of fear and awe, I sal down to talk to David Grohl, drummer ex trordinaire So you're the newest member ofthe band. Where In the Nirvana discography do you fit ki? GROHL: I joined right as the "Sewer " single was coming out in September of 199a Before the Velvet Underground song or afler? After. I recorded nothing with them other than Nevermind. Were you ki other bands before Nirvana? I was in a band called Scream from Washington, D.C. We were halfway through our tour when our bass player qui and we were stuck in L.A. for a month. My friend, who was in Ihe Melvins, told me that Nirvana was looking for a drummer. They had seen Scream play in San Francisco and thought we were pretty good so I just gave them a calL They said yeah and I moved up to Seattle. I heard today that Nirvana Is ales r no- charts. [ Ed.— Currently it sits at #5 and peaked the month before at §4. "Smells like Teen Spirit" also enters the Billboard Dance charts wedged between PM Dawn and Hammer and beat out Michael Jackson as 01 video on Good Rockin' Tonite.] Is this amazing to you... Is It a surprise? Well, I guess it's a surprise. I mean people can throw statistics at us, or whatever, but it really has no direct impact on the band; we don't see that much of a difference. The shows have been really big and everything but we're not really that different I mean we're not really any richer. We're not any more assholes than we were six months ago. I guess you've been doing a lot of Interviews across the country and most of them have been with the same questions asked. It's strange. There's alot of people who know the history of Nirvana, and they focus more on... ... the Seattle scene? No...well, yeah. More on the jump from SUBPOP to a major. Since they know what the band was all about before DGC they want to know the difference. Then there's the people who don't know Nirvana and those interviews usually consist of, "How does it feel to be a really brand new band breaking out in the mainstream?" What were some of the record- that changed your life? The Melvins. Gluey Porch Treatments changed my life more than anything else in the world. As a drummer or as an entire musician? As a musician it sort of changed my whole outlook on how music is made. It taught me a lot about groove and a lot about how to really feel from a song. Nirvana Is probably one of the most bootlegged bands around these days. Are you guys for or against that? How do you feel about it? It's hard to say. Live bootlegs are okay. I mean, on just about any bootleg the quality is shit and you see it in a record store for 15 or 20 dollars. It's just not worth it. I guess it is if you're the anal collector-type that wants the test pressing, or blue vinyl, or whatever single. Bootlegs just sort of suck! I mean they're neat to have, sort of, as a novelty but they don't sound good. As far as us getting pissed off about it... live ones don't really piss us off that much but it does when people start releas ing demos and tapes of stuff Kurt has recorded in his living room; just stuff not intended for release. But how do people get around that kind of stuff? I don't know. If we knew we wouldn't let them. I know somebody took a tape from Kurt's house, got it copied and eventually got it bootlegged. Most bootlegs are 3rd generation copies of cassette tapes. You mentioned something about collectors; It seemed the whole SUB POP thing was geared towards them, what with the limit- ed edition colored vinyl and singles dub? That was their whole marketing that it wasn't conscious. It's just a baby, a dollar, and a fishhook underwater. What about the photo on the back cover? Kurt took that photo about three and a half years ago. It reminds me of the Pixies "Monkey Gone to Heaven" 12" cover. The funny thing is that he took the picture before the Pixies thing, and when he saw the cover it was like, "Fuck man," because he wanted to use somelhing like that for a record one day. Do the members of the band I would want to be a drummer for "I mean we're not really any richer. We're not any more assholes than we were six months ago." —David Grohl On the Success of Nevermind. ploy. I mean none of us are collectors. I don't even own a record player. Do you have any opinion on tha t sor t of a schem e or on record collecting in general? I think it sucks to make so few of something that people are going to up the price to make a buck off. A lot of bands make 5000 7"ers because that's all they can afford but when a bigger label makes so few of something, for the sole intention of making it a pricey collector's item, I think that's sort of lame. I mean, I can see how it's kind of neat to have something like that but to hand it off to someone for 50 bucks is kind of stupid. Who did the cover for the album? A person at Geffen did it. Kurt and I were sitting around in Los Angeles watching tv and we saw this documentary about babies being bom underwater and teaching infants to swim and stuff. There were some really cool images where the baby would float past the camera. It was hilarious. We thought it would be a really cool idea for a video. We had a meeting for the cover of the record and none of us had an idea for what we wanted so someone just said, "Well, we saw these babies underwater on tv..." and it stemmed from that Is It supposed to be representative of you guys as a band entering the large rock arena? We're the last ones to analyse anything we do. If we did anything like generally have an art background? Kurt has done a lot of art. I know he's been painting & sculpting for years bul he doesn't really have much time to do it anymore. I was really into photography when I was in high school and stuff. I was talking to someone the other day about music and art and he said that being a musician is a lot more difficult than being an artist because you have to deal with so many more people to get your work out. Do you find that? I don't think it's difficult being a musician. I don'l think it's difficult being an artist. I think it's just in you. If you love to play music then it's not difficult. I think thai maybe being a musician is a lot more time consuming, at least for Doyou find that, as you go along, you are having to cut through more and more crap and deal with more people? Yeah, I can see that but, also, an artist is usually just an individual working with himself and spewing out whatever is inside their own head. When you're in a band you're wilh two other people and if you want to pul out a record you have to deal with a label. And if you want to go on lour you have to deal with a booking agent and rent a van and cut through a lot more shit So ifyou could be in another band, any band, who would it be? Nirvana played at the Reading Festival hi England last year. Do you enjoy playing huge places like that or do you prefer smaller venues? G _ prefer playing small places myself. Because playing huge places like Reading ....[Dan A. Man from Mudhoney walk in beside us] You guys were at Reading, talk about when you played there. Matt Lukin: Oh, il was a great day. Dan Peters: Incredible! So how many bands were there- like, eight bands per day? M: Something like that Do you feel that there was any concern people were there to see you or there more for the event, like Lollapalooza? D: They're there to see the rock bands. They take il a lot more seriously than here. So did Mudhoney play In 1990? f> Yeah, this yearwc wailand watched. G: That must have been a lot better? M: It was wild, man! G: Playing a festival Kke Reading, that was the first time we played a place that huge. Like, 35,000 people-, that's a lot of people. And getting up in front of that many people, it's almost like playing before a crowd rather than an audience. Il was cool because we played a great show and people were really getting off on it people loved iL I don't really like playing to that big a crowd. It was cool toplaythere because it was outdoors and a really nice day but I wouldn't want to just so big and a lot of the drives are so huge.

G: See, I was going to talk about this when we were talking about collectors because the first 15,000 copies didn't have it because they fucked up with the mastering. They were saying, "Now everyone is scrambling for those 15,000 and il's going to be such a collector's item," and il's so stupid. Il's just a CD. They look exactly the same except for I had a guy come In wanting to return a CD. He said, "Why is there a 10 minute space between the last two songsT So, I said, "WeU, I think it's Just kind of the band's way of doing something funny." So, he said, "But it's Just noise," and I said, "Well, It's Just part of the Joke," and he said, "Well, It's not very ftmny."

Obviously we just put out a record and another one won't be out for a while. I heard that be liked your m usk and expressed an interest in produdng yoa Was It a choice based on getting someone outside the band to produce some sessions or did you just take k as an opportunity that you Wdl that was sort of Kke how it was. First of all we had read an arttde in Forced Exposure saying that he really Kked us and that he would like lo produce us. He wrote to us not too long after that As it turned out we were coming down here to play al a wedding, Steve was a friend of the oouple that were getting married, so we met him when we were down here. First of all we just thought il was totally bizarre that someone like Steve Albini would be a fan of ours based on just the stuff he has produced and the type of music that he plays. Il was a real surprise. We thought this was totally weird; it makes no sense. I think that was part of the appeal about it For one thing we have never worked with a producer before, we have done everything ourselves and lots of times we haven' t been fully happy with our recordings. There are times when we have tried to get live sounds and it hasn't happened very much, he works very much with doing things Kve. Did ft go off O.K.? Yeah, it actually went really well, I think it is the best sounding stuff we have ever done. We are all really happy with it and he is an amazing engineer. He acted more as an an engineer because we have a pretty specific idea about the way we do things and I think that judging by the way he works he would prefer to have bands be that way because he doesn't want to be making the band sound like him. He certainly wanted us to sound like us and did not meddle al all, he would just say that stinks or if il was good he'd say- awesome. For the first time ever we were allowed to play at the volume we play at when wc play live. We didn't have an engineer flipping out saying, "No, no, you can't do that" Just out of habit of doing this for so long, you know, the drums are ringing and I'd say, "Is that too much ring for you?" and he would say, "What do you mean? They are drums, they are supposed to ring." He really helped us a lot and did a really great job. Without taking too much of an emphasis off of Dim the Lights what do you plan on doing with these recordings? Can we expect some seven inchers In the new year? We haven't even really talked about it We don't really know. It just fell as though the opportunity was right; we had just finished a tour, and we always play best when we have been playing alot, and so we just thought it better to do it and dedde afterwards what to do with them. It might end up being 6 seven mch singles or half an album and some singles or it might be part of an album. Part of whal was good about it was just getting the backlog of songs... we are at a point where all the songs that we like and want to record are now recorded wilh ihe exception of two songs that are too new to play well enough. Now we have some time off in January and February, and being so busy, all these songs that we have written in the last whik we have time to leam them. We can leam a whole slew of songs and then hopefully, you know, ii would be nice to come back and work wilh Steve again and record another hatoh of songs. By then enough time will probably have passed that il could be a record. In this mon ths DiscorderX think that there Is going to be an interview with one ofthe Kids ki the HalL I wanted to talk about your relationship with them, how docs it work In terms of | the musk? Do you continuously submit things or was it just a one off type ordeal where you gave them a bunch or tracks and they have slowly worked them into the shows? It kinda works a bunch of different ways, il just sort of depends on whal is that they are doing and what they need al the time. A couple of times year we goin and record, you know, 30 or 40 link short pieces of music tl would belike 15 seconds or less. As come up with ideas in our practice sludio we just put them on a tape conderand save them up until we go in the studio. In Canada you don't se of those things, they are joiner bits of music in between scenes and skits. In the US they show those much mc because there arc no commercials cable. We do a whole bunch of those that arc really a free for all, they don' have a clue what we arc going to do when we go in. Generally, all the other stuff that would be songs is composed for the skit There is this thing lhat was just on TV called the "Flying Pig" where they would come to us and say Kke here is the scene, they would give us a description, "So, what this is going to be is theme music for a superhero that is a flying pig."So we had to,i minds, try and write something that sounded like the theme music superhero that was a flying pig. The pig was pretty sick. I realize that you guys feel you deserve a break in an effort to bring some normalcy back into your lives in Toronto but when can we expect to see you guys touring again, partic- ularly up in our neck of the woods? It will probably be summer by the time we get oul lo the West coast We are doing a tour going south into ihe United States in March which something that we have never done before. That will take us through the month of March. I think Kids in the Hall ends in April so that puts May or June... just going through the calender in my mind. We definaiely want lo come back out there and I; not just saying that because you i talking to me from Vancouver but we have just always had a great i in Vancouver. Some of the places in between here and Vancouver another story. Actually the whole Northwest area... we really love Olympia. Playing in Olympia the first time was one of the best times wc ever had playing a show and then the International Pop Underground thing, again, was just really great. Lasttime we wereoutthere weplayed some great shows in Seattle. We played with the Young Fresh Fellows in Seattle and we did our own show s we do wanl to come out Thanks for talking with us Don. OK. JANUARY /PS ' I I l*~ tl '" RHYTHyiC UNDERGROUND Behold reader! Come unto the night to awakened! 1 Onlyafterexperienc- mg the wisdom, the omnipotence of the five horsemen of Canadian comedy can one really know what it is to Uve, to laugh, to fall down on the floor in front of the television guffawing and screaming, "Mercy!" Hail to those saviours of T.V. known as the Kids in the HaU, may their reign be as long and glorious as it is mirthful. Individually, comedy troupe and sketch television masters the Kids in the Hall profess to the names Dave Foley, Bruce McCullough, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKiimey, and Scott Thompson. Besides an inclination to strong drink and British surnames, the Kids share a Canadian heritage and a rather odd definition of the concept of humour. If you've never seen or heard of the Kids in the Hall, chances are you've been hanging around the over-30's too long. My charmingly middle-aged father for the mosl part reflects the consensus of T.V. viewers of his generation in his weekly comment "This (KITH) is funny?" Within the "post baby-boom," generation X, "god-damned lazy dead beat" crowd that I frequent, KITH has been acknowledged as the best thing to hit multi-media entertainment since Bugs Bunny. It's not just because (yes, Dad) they're funny. Their sty le of humour and pub- lidy funded oulrageous- ness speaks directly to, and often for, those dis- affectedly apathetic youth so frequently heard about in the dailies and heard from on the pages in Discorder Mag- Skits like "I'm the guy with the good attitude toward menstruation" and "Running Faggot" are typically hilarious stabs from the sword called "irony" at today's hottest topics. Seen through the eyes of a conservative or even just plain "Pat Average" viewer, these skits could seem to trivialize serious matters or even support common stereotyping. However, as Kid Dave Foley said in a recent interview, this attitude is one which misses the boat. "We hold our audience's intelligence in the highest respect We like to think that they're at least as smart as we are. There is all the difference," says Dave, "between earnestness and Satire is but part of what the Kids bring to their Thursday 9:30 CBC half-hour melange of silliness, ruthless character portrayal and off- the-wall -down -the-corridor -up-the- stairs-first-door-on-the-left comedy. Their work is readily described as controversial, especially when it includes skits like "Screw You, Taxpayer," which is ten minutes devoted to informing CBC viewers exactly how many of their work -a-daddy Canadian dollars were being spent on such offensive stuff as KITH. Dave Foley says they did get quite a few angry letters about that particular sequence. "People wrote in letters doing exactly what we were making fun of them for doing. That [sketch] was based on letters that were sent to us. The CBC gets most of the angry letters. People call us and say, T'm sickened to see my tax dollars spent in this way,' not realizing that it's really a very tiny portion of their tax dollars that are spent on our shows." Other bastions of offensive- DrawlftgbyarfcAda ness include boisterously homosexual Buddy Cole (created by Kid Scott Thompson, a man who is glad to discuss his sexual orientation with interviewers and ordinary taxpayer- alike), and the two spacey, mundane RCMP officers of "Police Department" (Cop Mark to Cop Bruce - "To the best of your ability, describe yourself running naked through the woods"). The fact diat there are no women in the group simply means that the Kids do much of their acting in drag. They are careful, however, not to use the cross-dressing as a comedy device in itself. Dave says, "When we started the show, we gave strict instructions to the make-up and wardrobe department that we didn't want to get a laugh on the costumes for our women characters. We always wanl the characters to be completely bcliev- abk as real women." Among the Kids, Dave claims it is widely accepted that he and Kevin are the sexiest though Mark harbours some delusions of greater beauty. Though less inhibited than any show on TV today, Dave Foley says the Kids do have limitations of personal morality. "We pulled a piece from out show, just because the timing was wrong. We had a piece, a monologue of mine, about a mass murderer which I pulled because it was at the time of that horrible thing in Montreal." limitations of aspiration, bow- ever, do not bind or gag the Kids. Despite the fad that 13 months are necessary to produce one year of shows, vague plans for an album (strictly comedy - "We're the most unmusical group ever!") and a book are afloat. Just fresh from a two month vacation, time off for the Kids that caused the - gasp - delay in the premier of the 1991-92 season for KITH, their latest plan is for a movie. "It's somelhing we're maybe thinking about try - ing to get going within the next year. We're going to create sometime. I think if we do that it will be a benefit to all of mankind." The Kids envision a roughly Python-esque venture with a loose narrative that allows them to have one storyline and play various parts. Is this the type of project Cana- daneedsrightnow? Dave Foley, Canadian: "It doesn't seem that anything else is building national unity, so it's worth a shot, don't you think?" KITH is not exclusively a Canadian entity. Produced at CBC Toronto, the Kids are exported to tOlU_»j__|'l'"<*" ranch-dressing-caters in the south via ex-patriot (traitor!) Canadian Lome Michaels, executive producer of both KITH and their comparatively conservative counterpart, Saturday Nighl Live. Two of the Kids - Mark McKinney and Brace McCullough - have experience writing for SNL in New York. "Do you remember the year of Terry Sweeney and Anthony Michael Hall? That's the year Mark and Bruce wrote." Jocular, offensive, and "professional youth corrupters," the Kids have climbed up from the live dub/anonymous writer drcuit into full-fledge Canadian Stardom (oxymoron?). Will all the publicity and the establishment of three hit seasons and a potential movie contract change them? Will a sudden attack of conservatism curb their ccntrovcrsialism? Will there be an Adults in the Han?

Interviewer Nardwuar the Human Serviette Producer. Home Taping Intema- Date: November 22nd, 1991 How'd ya get into all this ? Well, during the Watergate Scandal during the early 1970s, I read an artkle in an alternative paper in Boston about Richard Nixon being in Dallas.Texas, on November22nd of 1963. The article said that Nixon flew out right about the time that President Kennedy was killed and yet when he was interviewed by the FBI four months later, he claimed he had left Dallas on November 20th, despite the fact that the New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle of November 22nd quote Richard Nixon in Dallas on November 21st. This has since been borne out by other sources. It said lhat everyone who was al the age of consciousness knows exactly where they were or what they were doing when they heard President Kennedy was assassinated. That certainly was the case with yours truly: I was in the ninth grade at the time. I was all of fourteen years old al the lime and I remember predsdy where I was and whatl was doing, bul interestingly enough, Richard Nixon, who was in Dallas at the same time as the man who had defeated him in the Presidential Election of 1960 and was there at the time he was killed, doesn't seem to remember. In fact, four months later, his memory was off by a full two days. Now, I didn't believe that Richard Nixon really couldn't remember. I rather suspected, and I am convinced now, that he was lying through his teeth as Richard Nixon has been want to do. So I began investigating— the reading up on it I should say as I didn't do first-hand snoopin—the dent Kennedy and I became convinced that there were links between Kennedy's assassination and Watergate, and there is numerous ns between the presidential assassination and Watergate. In fact, on the famous Watergate tapes, one of the statements that Richard Nixon makes is that the Watergate burglary had to be covered because otherwise it would lead to the, "the whole Bay of Pigs thing." Now in his book The Ends of Power, HRHalldeman, a key Nixon aide, says that in the Nixon White House, the phrase "the whole Bay of Pigs thing" was basically the code-word for the Kennedy assassination. There are numerous other connecting links between Watergate and the Kennedy assassination. 18 E__^g°3fr_gli For example, Leon Jaworski, who replaced Archibald Cox as Watergate Spedal Prosecutor afler Richard Nixon fired Archibald Cox who, by the way, had been Solicitor-General for the United Stales under President Kennedy. Leon Jaworski was named Watergate Special Prosecutor and he had been a Warren Commission Council in charge of seeing if Lee Harvey Oswald had intelligence connections and, beyond that, he had been the liason between the Warren Commission and the Texas Court of Inquiry which was the Texas state body inquiring into President Kennedy's assassination, led by then- Texas state Attorney-General Wagner Carr. It should also be noted that Leon laworski was a member ofthe MD Anderson Fund, a CIA domestic funding conduiu There are numerous other connections as well between Watergate and the Kennedy assassination. That is what I began to pick up on as I began reading on both Watergate and the assassination of President Kennedy. In the 1970s, when the House Select Committee on Assassinations was formed, I became really, really interested in a professional way. I did not go on the air at lhat point. I was very fascinated and hopeful at the time because it seemed lo me lhat after the unravelling of Watergate, perhaps we were finally going to begin getting down to the truth about whal really happened to President Kennedy. I was shocked and upset, though not surprised, when the House Select Committee itself turned up to be another cover-up, and there have been several before that and several since. And yet, despite everything, the final conclusion ofthe House Select Committee on Assassinations was to recommend to the United States Department of Justice that they begin investigating David Feme and the anti-Castro Cubans in New Orleans, and that's, by the way, was who New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison was after day Shaw. The jury in Garrison's invesli gallon concluded that there had definitely been a conspiracy behind President Kennedy's assassination. In fact, in Radio Free America program number 12, there is an excerpt from the testimony of Colonel Fink, the autopsy surgeon who performed the second autopsy on Kennedy's body, in which he states, IN COURT. in un impeached legal tatimony, that he was ordered by unnamed superior officers not to dissect the neck wound. That is absolute legal proof of a conspiracy and ihis in a US court of law. But it should be noted that the jury in the Clay Shaw trial could not conclude beyond a reason able doubt that Clay Shaw had been involved i >rf-<n*tfi>^ to be seriously abused; they are going to do "hit pieces" on him in the US press just like they are beginning to now with Joseph Danid Casolaro, the journalist who supposedly committed suiride—but it was not a convincing suidde—when he began investigating some of the inldligence- related scandals such as the Iran Contra Scandal, the October Surprise, the BCCI Case, all of which had certain intersecting links. One of the things that the CIA and other US intelligence agencies had long done is manipulate the media and their ability lo do so has been documented by the Pike Committee, a House Sub-Committee that was investigating CIA abuses, and there have been numerous articles in books documenting CIA i to the n i. It i Food for Thought I_ Nardwuar, Tm an old Dive Emory fan, met you about a month ago in the SUB. After you ipoke to Dave Emory two weds ago, dus little article appeared in USA-Today. It is a case of whit Dave would call "Die Hit Parade" in this cue relating to the October Surprise controversy (remember Dave said to watch far people mysteriously dying who may have inform tian an that story). Rich Reporter died while investigating story of a lifetime The October Surprise story has many curious twists — among them the mysterious death of investigative reporter Danny Casolaro. Mr. Casolaro, unusually upbeat in the weeks before he died, had been working for a year on the news story of a lifetime, f Grounds for Further Research after. His first suspect, the first person he indicted, was David Ferrie, who conveniently committed suicide, allhough his signature en the suidde they wound up acquitting them. Il should also be noted that former CIA agent Victor Marchctli has staled that Richard Helms, then-director of the CIA, that is to say, 1969, the rime of the Shaw trial, was very concerned about Clay Shaw and discussed at one meeting, that Marchet- ti claimed he was present at, "the need to "give him all the hdp we can." So it is quite possible that the CIA was heavily involved in subverting Garrison's investigation. It ha s later come out that a fellow named Pershing Gcrvais was paid by U.S. intelligence services to infiltrate Jim Garrison' s investigation. Another of Garrison's investigators was Tom Lafelle, who since has become an ultra-right-wing political theoretician in this country and was for some time, perhaps still is, a fellow at the Hoover Institute, a right-wing think-tank ai Stanford University that was very closdy affiliated with the Reagan Administration among others. I mention the Garrison investigation and the fact that the House Select Committee wound up basically endorsing Garrison's investigation —because Garrison is being roundly pilloried by many, many people, and he also is a person whose work has strongly influenced the forthcoming Oliver Stone film called JFK, which explores the conspiracy behind President Kennedy and comes up wilh many of the accurate facts and discusses the reasons why President Kennedy was killed: for example, his pulling the United States out of Vietnam which he was in the process of doing. Now, Oliver Stone himself has already taken a lot of heat in ihe US media and he is going safe bet that this CIA propaganda media ability which Ihe CIA has termed "The Mighty Wurlitzer" is going lo be cranked up to the maximum for Oliver Stone and I feel kind of sorry for him. Now, going back l< the House Select Com- tions. in 1979, when they came out wilh their finding lhat there had almost certainly been a conspiracy behind President Kennedy, they recommended to the U.S. Department of Justice lhat they begin an investigation of David Ferric and his ties with the anti-Castro Cubans in Washington; the American people simply took no notice. It aroused part, save those researchers, and lhat was really a pretty shocking and disgusting thing to mc. That information came out in the tail-end of 1978. By September of 1979,1 had begun doing a radio program on which I read printed information on the air so people could lape ihe information and use the resulting tapes as an audio study resource. That is where the Archives on Audio tapes, the Guns of November tapes, the Radio Free America tapes, and the other miscellaneous archive shows have their genesis. Il became apparenyo me that if people in this country were reading, they weren't doing enough reading and I certainly hope that the situation is better in Canada. The American people are simply out to lunch; they are rapidly turning into a bunch of functional illiterates. Frankly, they have always been, since the invention of television, a bunch of "television brains." A study found that roughly three percent of the American people get their news primarily from newspapers, and fifteen percent read books. The average American reads on a per capita average, one book per person per lifetime. Thai's not too good and that's an AVERAGE. If you take people who do serious research and read God knows how many books and you average il out with all the hill billies snd the know-nothings who don't read at all, it gets pretty scary. Adlai Stevenson, who twice ran for president on the Democratic ticket in 19S2 and 1956—both times losing to Dwight Eisenhour — said that in a democracy, people usually get the kind of government they deserve. I think, frankly, the United States has the kind of government il deserves, and I am fiercely critical of the current political situation in the United States. Hey Dave, what do you do for a living? Various things. Right now, I'm looking for a part-time job and earning money with speaking engagements. I have supported myself doing a variety of extremely unglam- ourous blue-collar jobs over the years and now I am finally beginning to privileged to know some many wonderful people. But I think, frankly, in the United Stales at least. ways it still is, and we have the kind of government that we deserve. We dected a b-grade movie actor with the intellect of a walnut, RE-ELECTED him, and now people are wondering why everything is going to the devil. If people are looking for conspiracies in the United Stales, I recommend to my listening audience down here that they begin by taking a look at the conspiracy in the mirror, because that is where the real conspiracy lies. You mentioned that Oliver Stone was going to get blackballed for doing the— not blackballed, bul liberally pasted in the news media. He's already taking alot of flack. There's going to be a huge campaign lo discredit him andhis film. little bitof money doing speaking engagements. Perhaps at some point I'll write? How about your political persuasion? Is Mr. Emory a Democrat? I call myself an anti-fasdst because I have always opposed fascism. I have always voted Democratic although in recent yean I have had to hold my nose when I go into the polling station. I would call myself a Democratic with a small D, but I am an anti-fascist This country, the United States, is going fascist, frankly, and I am opposed to that and I have dedicated my life's work to opposing the political trends as I have seen them. Il should also be said that I myself—and I don't want to sound a discordant note—have grown quite cynical over the years and at this point have a very very low opinion of the human race and human nature, allhough I have been Have threats ever been hurled) your way? Yes, I have had threats. I have had attempts also. I have had alot of unpleasant experiences; I generally don't discuss those in detail But I have had alot of unpleasant experiences. I am also stalling to get a certain amount of press myself. I have had "hit pieces" done on me in Right now, Dave, you're participating in our Kennedy Assassination Weekend Marathon. Thank you. Is it true that the last time a radio station did this sort of thing, their transmitter mysteriously got blown up? No, no transmitters have been blown up. I have had certain suspidous transmitter failures sometimes, but none that I am aware of anyway. My work is carried on a number of different stations, bot I have never heard of any transmitters being blown up. There was an incident down in Houston, Texas, where the Pacifica station down there had its transmitter dynamited, but my work was not — in fact, I was not on the air at the time that went on. That was before I myself began my program. Relating back to the events of Nov 22, 1963, what do you believe actually happened? Who was really behind the assassination of John F Kennedy ? Well, it's a matter of public record about who was behind it. There are some grey areas and areas of dispute, but basically the assassination of President Kennedy wasn't just a coup, it was a military coup, and beyond a military coup, it was a fasdst coup. When you begin studying President Kennedy's assassination, you begin coming across numerous Nazi connections, which I cover in Guns of November Part 4. I also cover them in Radio Free was Kennedy's legislation, the most important dvil rights act in American History. It did not pass in Kennedy' s lifetime, but it did pass in June of 1964. That did not sit well wilh the far right people, from the South in particular. There is and always has been a very strong amount of racism in the United States. President Kennedy was moving lo end the Oil Depletion Allowance, a major tax rip-off for the m ajor oil com - parties k the United States; that didn' t sit well with Big Oil. He was moving to try and influence the Federal Reserve Bank to stop charging the American taxpayers compound interest. He was only the second American president to do that; the first one was Abraham Lincoln and you know what happened to him. Kennedy was also cracking down on organised crime in a very big way, and there are very strong and very well documented connections between organised crime in the United States and our intelligence agendes. Il should also be noted that Kennedy came up with the Medicare f providing medical assistance to dderly Americans. That also ran afoul establishment—by the way, when I say "national security establishment," I am referring to the American military and intelligence agencies. In 1962, President Kennedy Shows 11, 12, 13 and and in a miscellaneous Archive show called "Lee Harvey Oswald, Edwin Walkerand the Fourth Reich." Now, Kennedy was killed for a number of different rea son s. He ran afoul of the powers thai be in this country in a number of way s, and il should be noted that as of today, George Bush has been president of the United States just as long as Kennedy had been. Not a really long time at aU. Now, on the domestic scene, with regard to domestic affairs in the United States, President Kennedy had avidly supported the dvil rights movements, using federal troops hen necesssary. He had opened up Washington, DC, for the great dvil rights march of August 1963. The famous Civil Rights Act of 1964 Kennedy had angered many people, including some very powerful and deadly people with his polides on the domestic front, but it was in the field of foreign policy and defense that Kennedy made his most severe enemies. In 1961, when the CIA launched the aborted Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, Kennedy declined to use tfie US Airforce in order to bomb Cuba and support the invasion. That did not sit well with the powers that be. He then turned around and fired most of the top leadership of the CIA, including Allen Dullas who then later was a key member of the Warren Commission.That didn't sit well with the national security the Soviet Union. This didn't sit well with the national security establishment; it particularly didn't sit well with Werner Von Braun and some of the other Nazi rocket sdentists who we brought inlotheUnitedStales.In 1963, President Kennedy signed the first substantive nuclear arms limitations agreements with the Soviet Union: the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty from August 1963, which was bitterly opposed by the military. I should also mention that during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, the military wanted to bomb or invade Cuba; Kennedy refused to do that That embittered the military as well. In 1963, President Kennedy was working lo normalise relations with Fidel Castro of Cuba who had indicated a willingness to move a way from the Soviet Union and begin a productive relationship with the United Slates. Kennedy had a back-channel diplomatic representative named Henri Danielle, a French journalist, in Cuba meeting wilh Castro at the very moment that Castro heard that President Kennedy had been killed. I talk about this, by the way, in Radio Free America number 12. It should be noted that the anti-Castro Cubans, very closely connected io the CIA, were bitterly opposed to normalising relations with Castro as was the CIA proper. Most importantly, Kennedy in 1963 began withdrawing the United States from the Vietnam War. Li October of 1963, specifically on October 11th, six weeks before he was killed, President Kennedy issued National Security Action Memorandum number 263 which authorised the United Slates to withdraw a thousand troops from Vict- by the end of 1963 as part of a phased withdrawal of all US forces to be concluded by the end of 1965. Four days after Kennedy was killed, a National Security Action Memorandum 273 was issued; this cancelled Kennedy's troop withdrawal. It scheduled the 34A Program of Covert Operations against North Vietnam which eventually resulted in theGulf of Tonkin Incident which in turn led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution by the Congress which permitted Lyndon Johnson to escalate the war as he did. Kennedy also was moving in the direction of detente with the Soviet Union. And privately he was talking about "breaking up the CIA into a thousand pieces" in his second administration. None of that sat well with the powers that be in this country, the military and intelligence services in particular, and they conspired to kill him and they lulled him. By ihe way, the Kennedy Assassination and the Vietnam War is in the Guns of November part 3. Any time you have a covert operation which is what President Kennedy's there are areas of dispute. Obviously, certain areas of it are going to be indeterminate because they were conducted sub rosa but the most important things we need to know are known and are, no etched in stone at this point. viewed as Ihe mark of a man's or a woman's political character. Jackie, il should be noted, played around on John Kennedy plenty; she was on Aristotle Onassis' yacht just a few weeks before the assassination. Onassis was one of Kennedy's bitter sex with them are dirty. It basically goes back to America's puritanical foundings, its puritan origins, the ghost of Cotton Mather stalking the streets with fornicators. Were any elements of the assassination botched? Well there was plenty that was botched with it and that's one of the reasons why we have the information we have. The official version of President Kennedy's assassination is not just wrong, it's physically impossible in all its major respects. The problem is the American people are, shall we say, not particularly intellectually inquisitive so they have accepted this completely ridiculous scenario, at least up to a point. Our media are constantly pressing it so gradually, as Goebbels noted, if you take a lie and make it big enough and keep repeating it, the lie assumes the value of truth andunfortunaldythat has happened with Kenncdy'sassassination. But it was badly botched; the official version which was completely ludricous. It has been the belief of many, and I can't absolutely verify this, that Lee Harvey Oswald was supposed to have been killed in the movie theatre where he was arrested and not taken back for interrogation and for the need to have Jack Ruby kill Oswald as a result was one ofthe things that helped lo strain the credibility of the investigation. But when you study the facts—and those facts arc laid out in the Guns of November tapes and the various Archive shows that I have mentioned—I think it is quite clear that although the cover- up was bungled up to a point, or let's say, clumsy, yet, at the same time, it has succeeded to the point that it In Canada people generally don't worship Kennedy as that godlike of a President, 'cause like, I mean, gosh darn, John F Kennedy foolin' around with Marilyn Monroe, taking LSD, and acting like an ALL American Tom Cruise-Cg- conscrvative geek. Was he really that great of a leader? He was one of the best presidents this country ever had. I would take alot of the stories about Kennedy's personal life with a grain of salt. Certainly Kennedy by most accounts had a voradous sexual appetite but so what? There were alot of smarmy rumours about Kennedy having Marilyn Monroe murdered but they are rumours and just that He may From Nov 14-16 In Dallas Texas, a big Assassination Symposium on John F Kennedy (ASK) conference took place. Were you aware of this? No, I am not familiar with that conference; I did read about it. One of the things that I fed is important is to get off the grassy knoll. The really important things to understand about President Kennedy's assassination are,one, whathappencd; two, whal the significance of it was al the time; and three, what the implications of il are for our own time. I think the single most important lesson of President Kennedy's assassination is that our national security establishment will use the same kinds of deadly force here in the United Slates that it has used in covert operations in other countries. Many American liberals find that it is taken for granted the the US will set MILITARY INTELLIGENCE up death squads in plac in the eyes ofthe American people. I really can't speak for the Canadian people in their view of President Kennedy. If it is their view that he was not a good president, then I suspect that the liberal cross-cultural pollinisation between the United States and Canada may have involved some of the same media and propaganda blitzes that the American people have been subjected to. The fact of the matter is President Kennedy was only k office as long as George Bush has been k office, and he undertook to do or did all the things that I enumerated above. It is a pretty impressive agendaforhaving served less than three years in office. As for the stories about him taking LSD, maybe, maybe not; I really don'l know. I've heard that said and I've read it k books but I'm not sure how credible the information is. But again I think in evaluating a public figure, one should evaluate the individual's performance as a politician rather than his or her private life. I think it is also interesting that Kennedy has taken alot of flack for being a," worn - aniser," I have been surprised at the lack of outcry among feminists over that particular approach because, frankly, underlying that is a profoundly misogynistic viewpoint; to view a man as being morally repugnant because he has alot of lovers or because he has a voracious sexual appetite is at its core, a manifestation of the worst sort of puritanical out- ■nala, Argentina, lil Salvador or the Phillipines or someplace like lhat k order to basically protect the economic kterests of US - based multi-national corporations. WeU, if the US will set up death squads in the Third World countries, ask yourself where are there more dollars at stake: in Third World countries or k the United Stales? Obviously there are more buckaroos k the United States. If they will set up death squad activity k these countries, then they will certakly do it here k the United States and they have. There are very strong connections, as I noted k Guns of November part 4and a] so k other ArcAr've shows, between Kennedy's assasskation and the other assassinations that look place k the United States k the late '60s and the early "70s. very well have had an affair with Marilyn Monroe.... I think Europeans tend to be a much more sophisticated with this sort of thkg: people have sex, they have extramaritial affairs, and k Europe at least this isn't Is there really any connection between the Lincoln shooting and the Kennedy assassination? The only similarity is, mterestingly enough, there was a conspiracy behind President Lkcdn's assasskation. Apparently, the head of the conspiracy was Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederate States of America. There was one similarity, though. Accordkg to one source I've read,much of the conspiracy was operated ihrough Montreal There is, kter- estingly enough, a Canadian connection to the Kennedy assassination: the Permmdex Corporation, or alsoCcntro Mondiale Commerciale, which was an Italian subsidiary of same, accordkg lo a number of kvestiga- tions, this was headed up by a fellow named Louis Mortimer Bloomfield.anditwas based k Montreal. The so-called Zero Factor _ basicallymaktainsthat Commission Exhibit No. 1303] presidents elected k look, the age-old outlook that women are dirty and bad and that if a man wants to make love wilh a woman and enjoy her body is, at root, a profoundly misogynistic view of females: that women are dirty and men who have election years endkg k zero get as skated; that, frankly, is BS, to be perfectly candid about it The only truth I see k the Zero Factor is zero, the IQ of the people who subscribe to it. Con't on next page JANUARY 0 Referring back to Canada again, a coaple of years ago ia Gander, Newfoundland, an American service airplane went down It was actually a plane that was chartered by Aero Ak that has turned out to be, to a considerable extent, aCLA air proprietary— -And 11 « went down with I've beard that the men possibly were dead even before the plane landed, AND that the firemen cleaning up the mess from when the plane was downed, have never been the same since. Well, there is substantive indication at this pokt that the plane was actually downed by a terrorist bombing and not by icing ofthe wings as it was reported. There are a number of articles that have come out about that-1 covered that, by the way, k a miscellaneous Archive show about the Gander crash that you can obtain from Archives on Audio, and perhaps if you are interested k that, you can play it on the air on CiTR. There arc indications that Aero Air was being utilised for some of the arms shipments that were being clandestinely sent to Iran as part of the Iran- Contra operation, and specifically a Pakistani national—I guess he is now a naturalised American citizen— named Ariff Durrani was with Aero Air and the arms shipments to Iran. The theory has it that after some TOW missile parts were turned out to be defective, the Iranians were so outraged that they perpetrated the bombing k order to pay the US back for havkg shipped sub-par missile parts, and that the bombing was covered up k order lo hide the news of the link between the Iranians and the Americans which at that time was still secret. There is substantive indication k that regard, and agak I would refer listeners to a miscellaneous Archive show available from Archives on Audio.(P.O.Box 170023San Francisco.CA 94117) Who is Arland Spectre ? He was a Warren Commission council and specifically, he was the individual who came up with the Skgle Bullet Theory which is not just abso- lutdy ridiculous, it is impossible. Hasn't he been In the news lately with the Judge Clarence Thomas Hearings ? Yeah, well Arland Spectre, I guess you could say, is a survivor, and k the GunsofNovemberp&n one, there is a section of an old Hard Rain show, which was a series that I used to do k the early 1980s, that talks about the Skgk Bullet Theory. And what occassioned that discussion at that time—this was k January of 1981—was the election of Arland Spectre as a Republican from Penn- sylvania. So he's still on the scene and he's still manufacturing the same kkd of fertiliser that he first manufactured for the Warren Commis- Did Jackie Kennedy have any part in the assassination of John F Kennedy? Jackie Kennedy did not have any part but people who were close to her family appeared to have had a role k k Spedfically, her mother, Janet Achenschlauss (sic), was very 20 Si^ggsEGn-a friendly with a fellow named George de Mohrcnshildt who was one of Lee Harvey Oswald's intelligence connections. He was a while Russian. Spedfically, his father managed two Baku oilfields for the Nobel family under the Czar. He was also, interest- kgly enough, arrested for spying for Nazi Jermany k the United States during World War IL His uncle. Baron Hugo Maydell was k charge of the Abwehr in North America Abwehr was German military ktd- ligence during World War IL De Mohrenshildt went to the CIA afler World War 0. He was very close to Jackie's mother. In fact, when De Mohrenshildt was ihrough testifykg before the Warren Commision, he would go and have dinner at Jackie's mother's house, and that was too much even for De Mohrenshildt who believed that Janet knew full well who had killed President Kennedy. Even though De Mohrenshildt himself played a role k it, there are indications that he felt guilty about it, particularly as the years wore on. He also led suicide jusl before he was to be kter- viewed by the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1976. And il should be noted too that Jackie's uncle, Hugh Achenschlauss (sic), had a long-standing relationship wilh the CIA. But as far as the people behind it, the US national security establishment, as I say, was one of the main—that was THE MAIN FORCE—behind President Kennedy's assasskation. Some of the people who appear to be kvolved were Richard Nixon—he was definitely involved k some capacity—J. Edgar Hoover.... In fact, virtually EVERY American president since John F. Kennedy with the exception of President Carter, appear to have play ed, or there is evidence indicating that they have played .some role k the assassination of John F. Kennedy. How come none of this has come out yet ? Well, it has come out and that is why I know about it But it has not reed ved alot of pu blicity which is why I do whaildo. Agak, I came to the condusion a long time ago that if people k this country weren't read- kg, they weren't rea dk g enough and they weren't readkg the right things. So what I began dokg was accessing the printed sources upon which my kformation is based and putting it on the air so that people could listen for themselves. For example.agak talk - kg about presidents, it was Lyndon Johnson who formed the Warren Commission and the entire Warren Commission's work was complete nonsense. Richard Nixon was k Dallas, as I have said, and lied to the FBI about when he left. And then Gerald Ford, who succeeded the Warren Commission, had leaked information from the Warren Com- mission to the FBI. k 1980, of course, the United States got Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagen hdped block Jim Garrison's kvestigation kto New Orleans by refuskg lo extradite a fellow named Edgar Eugene Bradley who had been requested to be extradited by Jim Garrison. Then- Deputy State Attorney-General from California Charles A. O'Brien re- was to President Kennedy's assasskation. George Bush's name has come up in a couple of different skee then k the Kennedy The CIA, by the way, hotly denied lhal it was the same George Bush, but a subsequent by the New York newspaper News- day indicated that the George Bush that the CIA fingered could nol have been the man and that k all probability il was George Herbert Walker Bush, the current president of the United States and former director of the CIA. What is the "Gemstone File"? Il is a mixture of fact and fiction. It purports tolink Kennedy's viewed the Edgar Eugene Bradley extradition request and recommended it be granted. Reagan delayed action on the request until after Richard Nixon was dected president and then turned it down without comment Later, Reagan served on the Rockefeller Commission which k- vestigated the possibility of CIA k- volvement k President Kennedy's assasskation and found none, which is ridiculous. An artide came out k The Nation magazine k 1988 indicating that a George Bush of the CIA had been kstructed lo infiltrate the anti-Caslro Cuban community k Miami to gauge what their reaction lo a massive political conspiracy— certainly Kennedy's assasskation was—but there are alot of spurious elements to it k my opinion. It talks about Aristole Onassis as be- kg the most powerful man k the world which he isn't. There are alot of thkgs k it which frankly I am very skeptical of although some of the kformation is Well, he says he still believes the Single Bullet Theory. Why ha vent people, Hke himself, come around and faced up to the fact that the Warren Commission findings have been proved wrong? Why is Walter Cronk ite still dinging to the ledge? There is a very good answer to that, and that answer was provided by American comedian Mort Sahl k his book Heartland which he published k 1976. k the book, Mort Sahl asks the question, "How many lies can you allow yourself to believe before you belong lo the lie? Is it too late for America?" That is somethkg to think about. The Myth of Lee Harvey Oswald THE LONE ASSASSIN — there is every indication that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't shoot Kennedy al all, let alone by himself which could not have happened, and there is absolutely no physical evidence Unking Lee Harvey Oswald with i pur- ST 1 rifle. It v Walter Cronklte In a Nova episode aired a couple of days ago, I'm not sure you saw it or —I saw it several years ago and just about lost my supper chased by someone named Alek J. Hidell. The circumstances under which the rifle was produced were very dubious. That rifle could not have killed President Kennedy anyway; it was k too bad shape. But gokg back to why these people still elkg to this, at this pokt, the United States belongs to the lie. So many people still have thek careers slaked k the perpetuation of the lie in one way or another. Not just the lower-level operatives who have skee moved up and would stand to be tarred and perhaps sent to prison or executed if the truth came out, but there are *-~«^ so many institutions at ^5 this pokt that have gone ^ on record as, for exam - ** ple.endorskglheWar- £q ren Commission thesis, ^■j There are so many jour- C/_ nalists who have kvest- >>-*j ed thdr journalistic ca- k-^ reers k defendkg the *j status quo from a jour- v. nalistic standpokt, that f^J for them to go back at this pokt and admit the truth is to perhaps threaten their own li velkood, not to mention their credibility. There are college professors who have a serious career investment k perpetuating the lie. And most people basically are lookkg out for Number One, the material side of thek existence. I don't think too many of them are gokg to risk stopping thdr house payments or thek car payments if thdr careers should be damaged as a result of thek credibility. Although "sensational" ,do programs namely Geraldo, Hard Copy or Maury Povich deserve any credit for investigating some aspects of the assassination ? They are dokg somethkg that needs to be done, however they could go _3 much much further. At this particular time, the forthcomkg Oliver Stone movie is spurring a lot of kterest k this, and beyond that, I would note that the unfoldkg ofthe Iran-Contra scandal, the investigations kto the October Surprise, and the US government k drug smuggling .have all helped to focus at least a certain percentage of the American people and journalistic communities' attention on the abuses of the American national security establishment. [from HTI-j Dave, what would you ultlmatdy like to see from all the work that you've done? Well, I would like to see people wake up and become active. I would like to see people undertake to dissemkate the information. I view myself as what I call a Journalistic Step-Up Transformer. I take information which is for the mosl part already on the public record, and I boost it into greater view. I make it more accessible lhan it already is. [ H'I'I continues...] To your knowledge, are alot of people taping your programs In your area and in the United States? Well, k the areas where they are aired. I believe so. Certainly k the San Jose area. [HTI continues...] Do you have any advice for anyone who may want to follow in your footsteps as a researcher? Well, I guess I would advise them to be ready to receive ihe same kind of treatment that Oliver Stone is gokg to receive. It is not a Ike of work that you want to go kto if you want to be praised, because people will put you down. They will call you a communist or a subversive —maybe not a communist anymore because that doesn't have a whole lot of credibility, but they will impune your lineage, your sanity, and your patriotism. You have to be ready to take alot of journalistic daggers in the back. Also, frankly, if you're going to get effective, you're going to be prepared for some unpleasant events, too. You're going lo have to take some security precautions, too. Can you now, sitting back, predict any assassinations that will occur? Not of kdividuals necessarily, but I would keep any eye out for witnesses who have a key role to play k any of the unfoldkg ktelligence kvestiga- tions in the United States such as the BCCI affair, the October Surprise, and so forth. I would advise anyone who is going lobe seriously effective k the successful propagation of a progressive political agenda k the United States to watch out You asked me earlier what the significance of President Kennedy's as sas si tion was; what it meant, the thkg to understand 4s that if a more liberal political agenda can ever be put kto effect kto the United States, then the people or person who is dokg that faces the threat of deadly force k the same kterests that used it on President Kennedy.

Even Jokes For Beer didn't seem lo get this bunch into the spirit of things- they all just sat there «t looked Kke sulking puppies. But then again, there was the music... The Mudlarks- 111 try to resist the temptation to simply pigeonhole this group...ah, what the hell: Politically- correct-roots-rodc Judgmental labels aside, The Mudlarks showed some promise and originality wilh their use of an accordion and the interplay between the two vocalists. Strong songwriting would be the key ingredient that I found to be lacking from The Mudlarks' performance- my attention was never really captured by any of I Not SL.. I dunno. The curse of mediocrity. Hope they can snap out of it The Mudlarks placed second. Perfume Tree- A live performance of what seems to me to be* studio-oriented band. Perfume Tree seemed to be attempting to create* mood, which for several reasons didn't work at the Railway. The music is certainly in the vein <rf4AD/DeadCanD«nce//ovietfrance stuff, wilh a leaning towards a more house/hip-hop undercurrent in the choice of taped rhythm tracks. Il all seemed a little unfocused, with the music lacking in consistency and execution, (the three live performers were playing along with the tapes, and sometimes went out of sync) and the slide show that was projected over the group didn't really add much to the whole presentation. So why did they win the night? A combination of good ideas, and the exceptional abilities of the organic singerand guitarist managed to vault Perfume Tree over the top and Poetic Justice- Oh boy...what should I say? After a couple of songs I wandered around the Railway looking at my watch. In a word: "zzzzzzzzzzzz" NOVEMBER 25 This night was a nice change from the ordinary—I enjoyed the performances of all three bands. I hope the evening's second and third place acts aren't too disappointed at not placing first; the judges' decision was a very close one. Snowflakes- What would you expect from a combo which featured members and ex-members of such diverse local acts as the Hard Rock Miners, Glee, and Superconductor? Updated early-sixties garage-pop heaven? No? Think again—the Snowflakes nearly came from behind (they were a last-minute entry when the band originally in their spot withdrew) to win the night, but had to settle for second place behind the evening's surprise winners. What reaUy impressed me was their skilled and mature playing, as well as interesting arrangements and songwriting to booL I'll admit the singing was a little strained at times (this was their major shortcoming for a lot of other people I talked to), but I found il forgivable in light of the Snowflakes' other strengths. Absolutely killer lead guitar playing; if you like the Shadowy Men you ought to check this band out Touch'n'Go's- the favourites going into the night, I found their performance kinda disappointing. This was the first time I had seen the TNG, and from all the good things I had heard about this band, I was expecting to be impressed. To their credit, the Touch'n'Go's put on a competent and enjoyable set of power pop. However, in the end they were outshone by the rougher, but more adventurous and/ or heartfelt performances by the night's other bands. The mighty Touch'n'Go's placed third. Sawhorse- Not the kind of band you'd expect in Shindig, and perhaps that worked to their advantage. Good, honest all-Canadian country- rock (not unlike Blue Rodeo), with good vocals and competent musicianship all around. Sometimes Shindig bands are not the usual fare that one encounters at the Railway (i.e. Facepuller), but Sawhorse fit right in. I can just see their name spelled in letraset on the Railway calendar, marked in for a three-night stand. Sawhorse took the honours for tonight, and proceeded to the Semi-Finals. THIRD ROUND SEMI DECEMBER 8 As per usual, we all gathered together again for the semis, and witnessed a rather unjudgeable contest between a hardcore noise-art band, an ambient dance-soundscape group, and a roots-rock outfit. All three put in good performances: the much-improved Jef pounded out a bizarre acid-soaked improv while some frat guy in a baseball cap ho w I cd i nt o the mike.[£a.—The word is that he is some CBC Radio Star.] The double strobe lights were a bit of a cheap gag, but they sure made watching I also performed a more focused and effective set; this time the music and visuals worked together to create a very atmospheric and surreal mood. A tad too "arty" for some. The Perfume Tree's distinctiveness springs from their attempts to do something different in the live arena than the ol' basic gui- tar/bass/dnims thang. Sawhorse also delivered an admirable rendition of their brand of rootsy songwriting, but were a tad too safe and predictable to turn the judges' attention away from the other bands. The Perfume Tree advanced to the finals, Jef the model train on the ceiling a more placed second, and Sawhorse drew photos by Len Whistler MONDAY DECEMBER 2 A very full Railway Club and a very odd man who kept telling me that I was a part of The C02 generation" kept this one interesting, which is good, 'coz the music...well,...uh... A Posse Of One-1 thought this bunch were pretty funny, but not a lot of the other people I talked to agreed with mc (except, of course, all erf the band's friends who suddenly erupted into a mass frenzy of excitement at the end of the set). A white-boy rap parody with live musicians and a whole lotta silly string. General stupidity and semi-nakedness, feedback, noise, chaos, etc, etc., etc.,... what else can I say? I smiled. I seem to remember that more bands like this used to enter Shindig a few years ago. A Posse of One placed third. Jef- That house band from the Cruel Elephant invaded the sacred mellow-haven of the Railway and what did we get? A lot of monotonous droning, trumpet babbling, a local radio celebrity dressed as a cowboy/ bandit screaming into the microphone and the best fuckin' two-beer joke of this year's Shindig: "Jef I" Needless j to say, Jef won the night. Crush (formerly Slab Happy)- s "Poetic Justice." SHINDIG GRAND FINALS-CRUEL ELEPHANT-FRIDAY DECEMBER 13 I've already reviewed all the finalists before, so let it suffice to say that they all played again to a large and appreciative crowd at a very packed, very hot, and very smoke-filled Cruel Elephant. My congratulations to all the finalists: Perfume Treeplaced third to claim 24 hours of 8-track studio time at Deadbeat and Renegade studios. Cuter Than Spunky took second place along with 12 hours of 24-track studio time at Vancouver Studios and 20 hours of 16- track time at Bullfrog Studios, and Mystery Machine took first place as well as the Grand Prize of 24 hours of 24-track time at Mushroom Studios, 20 hours of 24-track time at Fluid Studios, and an opening spot on a bill produced by Perryscope. Yup. And so...this is the last installment of Shindig for this year. My thanks to all the bands who performed, and my condolences to all whose careers were irrevocably damaged by my occasionally more- than-f rank comments. Now I'll have to find another excuse to show up late for work on Tuesday mornings. Bye y'alll Yq>, your fave all industrial radio show ooOides wilh the printed word. (Okay, so it's the ONLY ill -electronic show on QTR..) I'll be valiantly trying to keep you up to dale on interesting releases, especially local happenin's. So, if you're * local keyboard meisler that needs the word out about your work in the noize/ industrial/ambient realm, write to me at ara My current "hot hit"has lobe the new MC 900ft Jesus CD, Welcome to My Dream. This is late night music wilh surreal, unexpected twists, especially in the lyric department. Welcome to My Dream is a radical departure from Matk Griffith's first release, Hell With the Lid Off—the new release is much funkier wilhjazzand real instruments thrown in for good measure. The songs still deal wilh topics such as schizophrenia (' Voices in One's Head"), a re-curring theme throughout his work, and pyromania ("While the City Sleeps"). The 12" single off the album is "The Killer Inside Me," a danceable paean to the madness that lurks in everybody: highly recommended, 'specially at 2 am. Also out on Nenweik is Single Gun Theory's " Like Stars in My Hands," a dreamy mix of technology and Indian inspired mood. Coll has released a second 12" off the incredible Love's Secret Domain (Wax Trax)—the hypnotic "Window Pane" being Ihe first TheSnow isasix song EP that features six remixes of the tide tracks, twocalled"Answers Come In Dreams I and IT'are redone by Meat Beat Manifesto's Jack Dangers. "Drift- mix" is a short bit of backwardsmasking (and is quile hypnotic and other worid- ly). Ovetall the songs are sufficiendy interesting, even though they are basically the same. Why isn't this played in clubs instead of the usual vapid house pablum? HermeticallySealed (Dr. Dream/ Slam Jam) by Flilerton (Drance), is a weird album and features one of the goriest covers ever—I won't tell you aboutit,you'llhavetoseeitfbryoutself. Brandy Dalton and Robert L Woods work with short snippets of TV noise, but tend toward the lighter end of things—too much so, for my taste— sounding a lot like Nitzer Ebb on some tracks. The lyrics are concerned mosdy wilh adolescent male sex dreams (as if the worid needs more of that). I don't know if this is their first release but, if so, maybe they 11 find their own footing as time goes on. Vaguely enjoyable, especially if you'rcan eighteen year old boy. 26 E_Rg°HfI__#a Since I'm not "What the hey-hdl happened to Die WarauT' as a friend, who looks Kke one of the Chicago duo, would say. Die Warzau have always tread the line between house md industrial hut somebody has pushed them firmly on the house side for their latest release. Big Electric Melal Bass Face (WEA). It's likeable enough, and besides wc can't listen to gloomy industrial all the time, can we? Die Warzau have a great sense of melody and mix funk and house while giving it a harder edge. The production is excellent and features cool samples from Meat Beat Manifesto and Pigface. What a great sequel! Ptgfece's latest Welcome to Mexico... Asshole (Invisible) is a very strange live album that really shows the looseness of this all-star band. Probably my favourite tracks are "Suck," featuring Vancouver's own Ogre on vocals, "Weightless," and a vetsion of "TFWO" that captures the spirit of the Puppy original, albeit, with guitars."BreakfastConspiracy" is a bizarre chronicle of Chris Connelly's adventures with restaurant breakfasting. Well, what would you expect from a band featuring members of Ministry, Revco, Skinny Puppy and Killing Joke, to name only a few. Talking about Ministry, the new single is "Jesus Built My Hotrod" (Warner/Sire) and features Butthole Surfer vocalist, Gibby Haynes. It's toward the thrash end of things bul it does grow on you because of its sheer nutti- ness. There's also a Vancouver connection, ex-Front Line Assembly member, Michael Balch, is given writing credits on the song. Speaking of FLA, the keyboard pros who make up the band. Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, have been extremely busy, which is completely normal for them. First up, is the new 4 song Dele- rium EP, Euphoric, whkh seems to be a conglomeration of the styles of FLA and its offshoots. The title track sounds like a new 12" whereas the fifteen minute opus, "Grave Mentor," is more classic Delerium with a bit of Will (more on them later) thrown in for good measure. This cut and "Sorrow" remind me of Delerium's last release. Stone Tower, an astonishingly beautiful album of evocative aural landscapes. Euphoric is nowhere near as cohesive but it is still recommended. Wil is composed of Rhys Fulber, Chris Peterson (who goes en tour wilh FLA as percussionist), John McRae and Jt£fSkxJdBid(whoplayguilarcnFLA's "Piovinon**) nd their debut release if /Wi^Gr«or/Vic-(Thiid\find).The material was recorded between '87 and'90 and can be described, according U)I_i gland's music tab, MelodyMaker, as clcaro-goth. It is certainly heavy on religious imagery and sound (the cover has a Star of David made of bone testing on top of the Bible). Song titles echo this as wdl—"Sacrament of Penance" and "Visible Second Coming" are examples. Will claim not to be religious, or even fascist, but are interested in the rituals and spirituality of religion. At times, il can sound like the soundtrack for "The Ten Commantknents," but Pearl af Great Price am have a powerful, dark quality to it as welL "Furnace of Soul," with its bell sounds, choir and droning is plaintively haunting, whereas "Crowning Glory" has more lightness to it. Hopefully, there 11 be another WiU release, without lairing three years lo come out Otherfunstcrs from Skinny Puppy, besides Ogre, have also been churning out stuff: Cevin and Dwayne ha ve released iheir Doubting Thomas .The Infidel (Wax Trax) can be likened to FI -A's Delerium but Doubting Thomas do na believe "less is more"; this is similar to Puppy's dense wall of sound. "Hiding" is relatively simple with iu South African sample along with "NagualTone."Actually,the last half of the CD (which has three bonus tracks) is quieter and more subde than the first half. Doubting Thomas will hopefully not be a one album shot as it would be interesting to see Cevin and Dwayne do more musical explorations. I had abitof aHstentothenewHHt CD. Journey to the Centre of the Bowl (Nettwerk) and it sounds like more of the wacky sounds we've come to expect Hilt is, for the uninitiated, Cevin and Dwayne plus Al Nelson and a cast of local characters, including Don I lar- rison. It has lots of weird stuff from electranicto country music—thisis definitely notforthemusicaUyunadvenUir- Emify Faryna has a retrospective CD out called Some of Emily (Spiral). Emfly should begetting more attention than she is—hermusic is minimalist but has a distinctive sound that is very ear-catching. She apparently went to Berlin to leam about keyboards and this contributes a lot to her sound. I caught her at the Quel Elephant in November where she put on an almost performance art show that was very intriguing. Also performing that night was Drill KKL, a Ministry style band withavocalist,bass- ist, guitarist and a drum machine which went over welL They obviously work very hard on their music but the songs could've been shorter and they need more of a stage presence. But lhat will come in time. They also recorded at Mushroom Studios with Dwayne and Al Nelson, so there seems to be a lot of interest in Drill KK—keep your ears That's all for now, kiddies, except for thanks to Mark 'Mr. Fifties' Pilon for designing my nifty header. In the next column look for a discussion of Sound GeneratorU.alocal compilation put out by Spiral Records, and more from FLA. Bye! (Ed.—Mekanikal Objekt Noize is a bi-monthly column written by June Scudeler which alternates with Felicity Dunbar's seven inch review What was on the cutting floor from last month? Scraps of paper tell us that Ten Feet Tall are not entirely pleased that we told the worid they broke up (apparently we only got Kyle's point of view). However, the band is not void. TFT say that Kyle quit because they were going to kick him out TFT's new stuff is similar to "Bad Religion—Neurosis." We look forward to seeing them in the New Year. Sadly, the December 7 Guest Quest/ Arcadian Hall gig was cancelled because of a rivalling SNFU gig which was not all ages and a good 20 dollars more. Note that fifty o underagen landing outside ir the cold on Granville Street that night. There have been some all ages gigs in the city however. Zen Rednecks, who do jazz fusion rock and late nite stuff, with ex-Piss Queen, M.S.R. members served up fine helpings of hardcore monster and ex-members of Puke theatre jammed rather painfully to crowds from 30 to well over one hundred. Well worth the two dollar cover charge. I guess you just have to know what goes on. December 23 is Brand New Unit, Procreation and perhaps more at Arcadian Hall, according to Ron from Cat's Speaking of security, did you see the hole in the girls washroom at the last GQ gig? Ladies, ladies, ladies, you were beating each other senseless. DO you think you can come up with 500 dollars for damage deposit lhat's now needed to rent the Arcadian Hall? The lineup for the November 23rd show was Spark(fuckln')Marker, Cats' Game and headlining, the Edmonton invasion types, The Smalls. Sparkmarker were at their usual level of alrightness AND they had their shoes off, so they were pretty relaxed about the whole thing.They turned out to be somewhat dry compared to Cats' Game who completely ruled with their white chemical warfare outfits and meaty hardcore music. The Smalls were the main financial bulk behind the show so hats off to them for that. The lead singer had a strong Jimmorisoundgarden resemblance. The Smalls used morrocos and tambourines to add to their style. Most folks left before their set ended, including us. Smugglers Smuggler* it Marlneland (NardWuar Records) Holy Molyl The Smugglers rock) As they say in the beginning there was nothing but rocks. Then somebody invented the wheel and things really started to roll in the song "Is that. Rock?" It seems they have two types of sounds: #1 an upbeat, jangly SO's sound, in songs like "Pebble Beach" and "Took my Baby Home"; and #2, a more laid back bass sound, in songs like "Jailbait" and "Hey Stephaniel" In among these rockin' tunes is Nardwuar's wonderfully irritating (that was an oxymoron) voice doing interviews with Kim Fowley, the Bucket, and being a water sprite. Some of the tunes are just too energetic and foot-stompin' for me, Le. "Calgarians Don't Dance" and "Vancouver B.C." (both of the # 1 sound). However, all the songs make me smile. My favourite songs are "Jail- bait" (#2 sound) and "Yardbird" (#1 sound). Cartoon Swear—"36Miles High" Pere Ubu immediately comes to mind after listening to this single -these guys have been doing the club circuit on and off and are on the Pixies bilL The lyrics grasp and flounder in perfect sink with the music. No hippy shit here, just jazzy rock from your local mental institution. The B- side is called "Justin Case," was that not a cartoon character that taught us kids how to be street wise in the mid- 70's? Look for their upcoming CD. "36 Miles High" is available at Black Swan and Track. Shine—"Butterfly Demo" Endlessly whirling around and around in misty gloomy air late at night. They're goo—original sound —interesting lyrics. I usually don't like sampling, but they use it quite effectively here, including police sirens etc. Included in Shine are ex- members of The Gathering. Watch for their six song demo coming out in late January. These guys sound like they're going to make it. Excited First Daughter—"Hammer Song" We tried something new, we listened to this song together. Our conclusion? Jethro Tullish and flat as hell while borrowing from college radio standards of the past Sludge—"Concrete Slab" Hell it don't look like a demo. (It looks more like a birthday present.) Essentially. Neurosis/Melvins inspired riffing for 5 songs with two singers, who have complimenting, and yet quite varied, vocal ranges. This band kicks all other local talent off the map in the studio. (J was gonna say they were the best Vancouver band but I don't actually want to sleep wilh any of the members so I'll save that title for someone else.) Tame—"Wasteland" Dead show...new wave, .aptly named band and demo. Unfortunately, Tame didn't do a goddamn thing for me. They sound like folk, wilh an edge of Misfits (not Danzig's first band, but Gem's archnemisis) guitar, then top, you place your comfy cords and go dancing. Out of the six songs I heard, I enjoyed "David's Theme," Tame's lour de force in the tribal chanting vein—definitely more balls than the rest of the tracks. Zolty Cracker—"Zolty Cracker" We saw this one down at Track Records. It sounded like Donovan, Navahoe Indian, Violent Femmes... you get the picture. I'm sure these guys will be headers of line-ups with Ngoma and Second Nature Indeslcives Does the lead singer really mean it when he sings "Have a Nice Day"?! He certainly doesn't sound like it. "Good Intentions" RIPS (#2 on the CiTR charts), ft keeps up the confident, funky rhythm and hard instrumental sound. The slow songs all sound the same and therefore are not as interesting, or appealing, as the Indesicives's upbeat sound. It and The Thing—"CyberdeKca" We found this to be souless stuff about technology and commercialism: a calmer version of MC 900 ft. Jesus with lots of goofy synth funk, but decidely deeper and darker than the Men Without Hats which I was at first inclined to compare them to. You can reach the band at Box 221 Station A 757 W. Hastings V6C 2M3. The NEWS FROM THE DUNGEON OF SCRATCH is next. You'll be glad to know that our local bands are doing well. Superconductor got signed to the Boner Label and are working on a 5 track CD. Ilch is thriving—they got signed to Network and will have their album our by springtime. Keith of Scratch Records has various projects in the works such as singles from Twerdocleb and Sun City Girls, perhaps Janu- aryish. So get stoked on your local scene! Oh ya. Mystery Machine. Shindig winners, have something on Kiltel, with local record companies express - ing interest. Good work boys! Until next month, write your info and send your demos and drugs to Vancouver Special (write to the Discorder address included in the Masthead on page 3). Good-bye. Now fuck off! BY ADAM & TARA SLOAN Yoi Wassap with Future Rap this month? Well let's take «look at wh»t we got here. Def Jef has come out with a new and improved release. This cassette is entitled Soul Food (Delicious Vinyl). It contains thirteen tracks and includes the lyrics on the inlay card. One song that's pretty funky is the second track, "Get up 4 The Get Down." A bit later on comes his first 12" release, "Here We Go Again," that is much more mellow and on the jazz tip Tone Loc appears on the track, "CaK's M That"—this is like a party disco hit It's got a groovin' bus -line, tambourines, echoing claps and all that! Fast, cuttin' lyrics. switched samples and beats, and continuous flowin' rhymes dead on beat are combined to make up this whole thirteen track upc. The Brand New Heavies helped to produce die last song on "this side." They play their music as Def Jef recites over their smooth thythms.Now let's flip to "the other side," where the hype con - tin ues. Def Jef keeps his lyrics mov- in' as though he doesn't need to break at all for a bit of air! There' s no stoppin' him. Reggae is incorporated into the chorus in "Shadows of Def." Other topics mentioned are pickin' uphoneydips and gettin' the skins, as Def Jef tries to teach the truth to the youth in a tune called. "Don't Sleep (Open Your Eyes) 'Theme for the 90's.*" Def Jef says, "evaluate the purpose of your existence/ you got the power to make a difference/ persistence overcomes resistance..." and then he goes on to say, "so open your eyes wider take another glance/ you might not get another chance." Politics and reality dominate "the other side." Peace, positivity and truth reign supreme The Loc/ster is back with his 1991 Delicious Vinyl release. Cool Hand Loc.There are eleven songs. And remember that ol' raspy voice that Loc used to possess? Well, it's back! There's saxophones blowin", homs tootin', soul singers oohin' and drums doin'...funky little dance tracks. "I Adore You" is a good example of a more commercial track that obviously speaks of Loc in adoration of some female But somehow you can get down to the music hittin' in the background. The next tune is also a love ballad with singers doin' lhat R A B stuff. I think Loc has gone even more mellow! So there's about four or five love ballads, or relationship songs, a few "back-in-the-day tracks" and a "Cheeba Cheeba" sequel called, "Mean Green," on which Def Jef appears. "Fatal Attraction" is a humorous hit and you can guess what it's all about (a bit like the old Tone Loc, "Funky Cold Medina" style ihymin"). A little more interesting is the latest by Digital Underground. It's named Sons ofthe P and actually has George Clinton appear.

Ave NE, Suittto, WA 9811* RECORDINGS Fully equipped 8-track studio Live sound room and full MIDI sequencing Musicians and services available DEADBEAT STUDIOS right now is "Kiss You Back," which sounds somewhat like De La Soul, in a laid back sorta way. In the track, "Heartbeat Props," the funky get- down claps are throwin' back in the beat Malcolm X, Chuck D, KRS- ONE, and other important political leaders and teachers, are mentioned. "No Nose Jobs," is a tune rapped by Humpty Hump and, of oourse, it is very intelligently written. Il discusses how white women want bigger hips and thicker Ups while black women want slimmer figures, thinner lips and wear contact lenses to be more white (and therefore more accepted). It' s a vicious cycle that never should've started. On side two, "Good Thing We're Rappin'" suggests that rap is a positive transition. Rather than being out on the streets, runnin' wild.pumpin' or han', gettin ' caught up in trouble to make the dough by sellin' drugs or what not, these brothers are rappin' I Face the Nation is Kld'n'Plays 1991 Select Record release. Already in the dance halls, "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody," is pumpin'. They talk about their great commitments to their two women and, if I'm right, they reveal that their preference in women is white. Anyway, I've never been a fan of Kid'n'Play so I don't know how to evaluate this release. I think it's better than the last one, on the dance lips, both interchanging as they rhyme. The best song is probably "Face the Nation," dealing with the many negative aspects in society. It's alright. Yo, and now for a review of Profeasor Griff's second solo release, Koo's 11 Wiz* 7*Dome (I think y ou 're just supposed to say "Kao's to Wizdome"). This release, slammin' out dope beats on the Luke (Sky- walker) record label, kick s that info like the first one. Pawns in the Game, which I'm still trying lo get straight.(Why is he down on the UPC Universal Product Code?) Anyway, Kao's starts off with an assassination attempt on Griff, which then cuts into the title track, with mo' ghetto bass than you've eva heard, and a clavinet sample too."Mental Genocide" sets the lone for the disk, wilh Griff rappin' black on the for real nigga tip. Then comes "Joey Hate Rap Calls the Cops," a super dope DJ scratchin' session with Joey Hate Rap reporting on Griff's Posse. Griff then kicks some more (ain't no stoppin' him I) black facts about the oppression of the black race on "Fugitive" and "Jail Sale," like "for every cop killed in the so-called line of duty, fifteen blacks are killed by cops just doin'their duty," and "I was bom a suspect because of the shade I was given." Another excellent track is "Verbal Intercourse," for da beats and the rhymes Griff and the Soul Society, his new Posse, drop, on the 5 Percent Nation of Islam tip. The Soul Society are Professor Griff, Tone Control, and Kavon Shah, who handle the production. It seems Griff is still down with the Last Asiatic Disciples, who he did his first record with, but he just didn't use them this time. "The Late Great Black Man" it quite self-explanatory, and if you've heard ihe Last poets, you'll notice quite a similarity in rapping styles. "In-Cog-Negro" is another one of the better tracks on Kao's, with Miami bass beats and Griff goin' off on how "a true back man tells a real story, and a real black man tells a true story." "Grandma Vanilla Don'tlike Loud Rap Music" is a little skit on top of Ihe same scratchin' that "Joey Hate Rap" was done on top of. It's pretty funny, and the scratchin', which makes up all of the beat (no drum machine at all), is just so dope! Queen Effititi and Queen I-Aisa, of the Blackwatch X-Clan, kick some rhymes on "Bro Kermit Splitting Atom's In the Corporate War Zone," a track in which a lot of rappers bust a few lines on the Corporate war zone and then give a 'nuff respect to shout out to the rappers they like. Griff ends Kao's with "Black Thanx Part II," a three-and-a-half minute list of people you should know, a continuation of die list he gave on Pawns. Overall, there is a lot of the knowledge, wisdom and power on Kao's, and it'll take me quite a few listens to get it all, but that's fine cause die beats are dope in Ihe meantime. Positive education always corrects errors. As-Salaam-Alaikum. Originally from Toronto, but presently attending Simon Fraser, comes MC Map's two song release. The first song is called "Pilot of the Mic," with Sisi Theo singing a few notes. Unfortunately, MC Map's voice is very quiet, and easily gets lost in the mix. "Just Ask," is the othertune. It's a love ballad that also suffers the same problem: Map's sofl voice trails off so lhat it's hard to hear the end of die words. Althoulh, this could be due to technical difficulties. See y'all!

Joe Keithley aka Joey Shit- head-Frontman of D.O.A., really got the best of my curiosity. Having enjoyed thirteen yean or so of unpredictable, get-your-ya-ya's-out kind of D.O.A. shows, I was also uncertain of what to expert. I saw the poster for this show which had Joe in the foreground and these unidentified clumps of hair behind him. That got me thinking "oh no, bar metal!" But the name "Joe Keithley's Instinct" reassured me that it could be hardcore. The off of the wall blasting Shithead once delivered. After taking for granted the reinstated smoking privilege graciously allowed by the Town Pump and filling up on certain favourable grain alcohols, I was ready for Joe Keithley's Instinct. At first, Keithley looked slightly nervous, probably knowing that the undersized crowd of about two- fifty was as curious as I was to see and hear this natural Instinct of sincere anger, usually expected from D.O.A. The music that followed raised a few eyebrows and shrugged a few shoulders. Mind you the music was good. The songs were tight, fresh, and eager to please and obviously well rehearsed. It just didn't kick too many people in the face. The couple of D.O.A. songs that he did do, "Woke Up Screaming" and "Bum it Down," had a different feel • to them with over-perfect guitar solos from the hairy guitar player. One of Keithley's new ones was a song about the D.O.A. dayscalled "Mountains That We Climb." It sounded sincere and sometimes touching (no, I didn't cry). Being a dedicated true lo heart follower of D.O.A. for almost half of my life, I felt slightly betrayed that he didn'l do more D.O.A. anthems like "Ritch Bitch," "Fucked Up Baby," "Nazi training Camp." or "World War EQ." Is all that brilliant aggression lost to the world or is he saving it for D.O.A.' s last final last show? But all D.O.A-ness aside. Joe Keithley's Instinct proved, lo me al least, that Joe Keithley still dem 28 Eet^gSUI-i-a- and time will tell if he gets what he Troy Bowley Tho Buzzcocks Commodore Ballroom Tuesday November 26 In the weeks preceding their gig at the Commodore, the most popular reply I heard when I asked friends if they were going to see The Buzzcocks was, "I would have if this was ten years ago." I'd been burned into going to reunion gigs before so I didn't treat that reply as trivial. However... from the moment The Buzzcocks stepped on stage, opening their set with "I Don't Know What To Do With Myself." both band and audience were hepped in what was one of the better shows this town has seen. A real barnburner. While the band thrashed away re- lenUessly and loudly for a litde over an hour and a quarter, a large percentage of the near sell-out crowd involved themselves in good old healthy slamming, beer tossing, and the occasional stage-dive. Not only were we having fun, but Buzzcocks Steve Garvey, Steve Diggle, Pete Shelley, and ex-Smith Mike Joyce were too. Smiles all-round. A rare sight indeed in this age of bored moody egoists. The set consisted of twenty-two songs. Mostly familiar tunes, some classics, and there were also seven new songs. Songs soon to become well suited additions to The Buzzcock songbook. As ihe set progressed, I became acutely aware of how strong this band still is. Money may have had something to do with getting back together, but we've all got to eaL These Manchester gent- give their all, and on this particular nightthey gaveit with reckless abandon much to the glee of this aging fan dripping in sweat and beer as close to the stage as me and mine needed to be. A splendid time was had by all. An encore featuring "Boredom," "Fast Cars," and the killer, "Orgasm Addict" was followed by a second encore of "I Believe." And then it was over. Rumour has ii lhat they may be back next spring. I guess we'll have to stick around and see. Meanwhile, The Buzzcocks are supposedly head ed for New York to do k ing with Bill Laswell behind the L Norm Van Ruaael John Korsrud's Hard Rubber Orchestra Glass Slipper Saturday December 7 The Big Band images of fun and frolic during WW II come to mind. Glenn Miller and The Aimy Air Force Band. Qiatanooga Choo Choo. Jiving in your tailor's uniform. John Korsrud and the band showed us how far away this the big band has come. If (underline) he were dead, Glenn Miller might turn in his grave. The Hard Rubber Orchestra presents a volatile and thrilling conception of ensemble jazz in hybrid wilh post war European influences such as Ligeti, Berio, Xenakis and Lutosla w- ski. Such an ideas could be disastrous, but H.R.O. is very successful thanks to tastefully conceived compositions, arrangements and beautiful playing by the members of the band.Rather than playing so called classical compositions "in the style of..." H.R.O. finds us a seat in a place where we can enjoy the discovery that jazz and European music share common potentials. We hear, for example, the stacking-up of strident harmonies lhat have been a part of post-war jazz and classical music. Another example can be heard in pockets of high-density tutti impro- vision - again a common element in the post-war era. Where H.R.O is successful is in their ability to avoid the disease of "borrowing" elements and juxtaposing, for example, jazz into a post-serial string quartet in something (a concept lhat should cause more trauma in listeners than it does). Nothing seems out of place in Korsrud's music. The band is wonderfully exploited by the compositions wilh many lovely instances of discerning orchestration and a keen sense ofthe right timbre forthe right material, as opposed to the usual big band textbook arrangements. Overall, the music of H.R.O. shows that jazz can avoid cliches in favour of real compositional values and John Korsrud deserves applause for this achievemenL I hope to hear more in the future. By the way, the Rubbers themselves were brilliant in their execution of this difficult music. It's been a long time since I heard soloists dig into their extemporizations with such drive while the ensemble playing was always clear and sharp, despite the density of the material and the basement acoustics of the room. At all time, the musicians succeeded in giving a real groove to ihe lan Crutch ley Jello Biafra SUB Auditorium Tuesday November 26 Dead Kennedys remind me of my skate betty days. Skating the ramps and listening to the Dead Kennedys with the guys. Now, three years later, Jello Biafra's words meant a lot more to me than they did in 1988. Jello came out announcing that we had to do what he said or we would be shot He gave us his version of a dictator run military police state. America is nearly one already. Mr. Biafra also talked against clear-cut- the Gulf War. He stressed lo boycotting all tape stores wliich have age restrictions on music such as N.W A. and his own spoken word albums. Write letters of protest to record companies who censor due lo Upper Gore and other right winged Christian organizations. If they receive more letters from YOU, the customers, they will listen and retract their censorship. For example, an audience member said Metro- town has age restrictions on tapes so boycott them (like you shop there eh?). Support the cool record stores like Track and Zulu. Anyway, Jello hates the government and all its hypocrisies. The Gulf War, in his opinion, was just to keep America's economy going. All news is basically censored. Did you know that eight white males control 80% of the media in the world? Support alternative news sources and newspapers which are not censored in any way. He ended the over four hour show wilh the question: "What can we do?" The confident crowd came up with marry answers such as continually questioning and not accepting what the media feeds us,handing out pamphlets, writing letters, spray painting messages, boycotting and much Coral Short 24/7 Spyz The Town Pump Monday November 25 The show was put off for a day due to a blizzard in the mountains which kinda screwed me up, cause I also had ticketss for Jello's lecture at UBC. Since Jello chose to talk for four(!) hours, I had to leave that early to get over there in time. Of course, in keeping with my luck, the first two bands had already finished. So I consulted a couple of buds and was told by Kirk that The Hard Corps, 'were fuckin' insanely great', and Ali assured me that Follow For Now 'were absolutely heavy'. This disappointed me, because I was hoping they would both rot, so I wouldn't have missed anything. Spyz came on at around midnight to an outrageously hyped crowd, and proceeded to turn the Pump into a sweat bath. Bodies were grinding within the first bar, and the singer was thro w- kg himself into the pit before the first song was done. The set was long, and the edge was thrashier than it has been on their last couple of albums. The new songs had a serious metal edge to Ihem, which had Ihem dishing out everything from h -core lo soul lo funk to speed metal, usually in the same song.The slamming was heavy but non-violent (not like the Beat Farmers show later that week, which was basically a pile of middle class assholes who obviously had no due what lo do) and singer Fluid dived into the crowd constantly through out the New drummer Joel somethin- gorother had a birthday that night, so he got to do a drum solo halfway through. Igota kick out of lhat, since the last time I saw one of those was probably in the '70's. The crowd loved them, and they came back for an encore to screams of 'Spyz, Spyz" and did a couple of Hendrix songs, followed by three or four more of their own. 24/7 Spyz didn't stop until around 2:30. when the crowd was on the verge of exhaustion. I came out of there so sweaty, I caught a cold. Rarely does one see a band play for that long and keep that energy up for the whole set, boys Mofo SNFU Dogzllla B.C. Red Sugar Commodore Ballroom Saturday December 7 Well, the tumours flew for a few months prior to it actually happening—no thanks to me—but the SNFU reunion finally became reality. I guess, before I commit a reviewing faux pas, I should take some time to comment on the 3 opening bands. If you didn't go to the show count yourself lucky but if you did go you will then realize how much of a waste of time, and print space, it is to even mention their names again. Equal representation I say...they all SUCKED! In all honesty lhat's not fair to Red Sugar and Dogzilla B.C. because I didn' t see them and therefore I ha ve fallen as easy prey to that almighty monster known as guilt by associa tion. This, in turn, stems from how hard Dead Surf Kiss sucked en the proverbial root The first time that I saw Dead Surf Kiss was when they opened for Pearl Jam @ the Town Pump a few months back and they were pretty cooL Howev- er, iheir opening slot for SNFU was nothing less lhan painful. I find it hard to believe that this clan of semi-talenled poseurs got picked up by the American BMG label. If anything is going lo bring this label to it's corporate knees it'll be DSK digging their financial grave. Mofo was right, last month, when he said,"...this is the wont melal tiffing i have heard..." Take it south boys, I hear they're making a sequel to Deliverance. C'mon, squeal. SNFU, on the otherhand .was everything evrybody—minus the people who went with preconceived notions of seeing something other than a typical SNFU rant—expected, which was a lot, to say the least. Chi and Co. hit the stage in a kinetic ball of energy and never let up; nor did they let the crowd swagger below a (un)comfortable level of The band seemed happy to be back together, and onstage, and showed their utter enthusiasm and joy ihrough the historical time-capsule performance which ihe night proved to be. Sure, the guys are all a littie bit older and they probably skate a little bit slower but they haven't lost the knack for belting out the hits of yesteryear. Don't even question the fact if they played your favorite song or not because this was in support of their newest album, The Last of the Big Time Suspenders, a greatest hits package, so to speak, and they played almost everything from the SNFU discography. Oh, you'll probably read, or hear, something entirely different from someone else about the show—maybe even from that blow- hard at the Georgia Straight who sings for that really shitty local band. The Ludwigs, and tries to tell us all that Chi croons for them when it's really himself, Mr. Dennis Bates—but just flip them the finger and say, "FUCK YOU! PUNK'S NOT DEAD!" Scooter SHADOWY MEN ON A SHADOWY PLANET Dim the Lights, Chill the Ham (Cargo Records) This is great! It is an amazing feeling to go out and buy a record, take it home, play it and love it. This is Shadowy Men...'s second full LP (Savvy Show Stoppers was first) but this one easily over takes Savvy in sheer brilliance. Don't get me wrong, I love Savvy, that's how good this new record is. I laughed out loud, I felt like crying, I danced, I twisted my ankle...This is rollicking instrumental recording featuring raving surf guitar twang, booming bass and smart drums. We hear keyboards, we hear whistling, we hear Rocky and Bull winkle, we even hear some singing. A great cover of the Brian Wilson tribute to teenage masturbation "In My Room" is also included. Highlights of the 23 song, ham-coloured vinyl package are "Hot Box Car," very rockin', "Who Painted Whistler's Mother," instant hit. "Reid's Situation,"old favourite, and a sung "thank you for buying vinyl" at the end! If you like listening to music, then go buy this record and help the Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet get the fame they so rightly deserve. Grant Lawrence RUNRIG The Big Wheel (Chrysalis) Have wc all been sleeping for the last decade? I recently received a package from Aberdeen containing three LPs (!) by Runrig. The oldest album being from 1981, some three years after their debut album was released, as well as their most recent LP entitled The Big Wheel. From its earliest days Runrig, the brain-child of Calum and Rory MacDonald, has been a prime exponent of Scottish culture in song. Whether playing Gaelic or English, Runrig has successfully bridged its country's tortured and rich past to the present and beyond. As far as musical genre is concerned, Runrig could never be called a traditional folk group. Think of Big Country with staying power and more than a few cute riffs on K-bow, or of U2 with enough genuine conviction that they don't need to burst into tears to come off sounding sincere, and you get some idea of what's in store. TheBig Wtee/isRunrig'seighth and most accessible effort. What had been a well-kept secret in Caledonia has not only leaked into England, but is now poised to wash across the pond. It's not hard to see why. Ata time when world music, including its powerful Celtic axis, is enjoying a happy resurgence, Runrig's open, haunting and energizing folk-rock sound retains a freshness that demands and shines through repeated listenings. Picking individual highlights on The Big Wheel is hke trying to summa- rizea voyage of alifctime.but hey, I've gone this far! My personal favourites are "The Healer In Your Heart," "The Crowded River," "Always The Winner," and the rollicking "The Edge Of The Worid." If The Big Wfe-iisasellouU'Utakeathou- sand, thank you. KenLevine LLWYBR LLAETHOG Me wn Dyb (In Dub) (ROIR) Attention, attention. Dub fans. This new release on the ROIR label should make most Dub fans very happy. In fact, if you are new to the Dub Sound this would be a good start for your col- Llwybr Llaethog are from Wales. I'm familiar with one previous album of theirs, 1988'sDA.Tha album, although not a Dub release as such, did contain a couple of fine Reggae influenced cuts that still sit high on my endless list of favourite Dub tracks. This 1991 collection, Mewn Dyb, came to my attention quite by accident and I'm not at all disappointed. There's a variety of styles here to keep the listener enthused through many listenings. From Hip Hop and House to your roots Reggae, a smattering of samples, and a wee bit o' Rap, and all of it is interesting and for the moat, danceable. It seems that over the last few years, some of the more interesting and up lo date Dub releases have come out on ROIR. This Mewn Dyb by liwybr Llaethog is further proof that ROIR is a label worthy of further reckoning.

This record, Headcoatttude, is thee Headcoats NINTH LP and they've been together since 1989! They put out vinyl like it was going out of style... This new LP features the hits "Troubled Times" and "Everybody Lies" as well as some diamonds in the rough like "Snitch Baby" and "I Don't Like You." Billy, Johnny and Bruce do it once again in classic style and finesse. This is a true punk rock and roll recording that shall not be overlooked. That said, this record is virtually impossible to find, so go to the source: Shakin' Street Records, 70 Thomhill Rise, Mile Oak,Brighton BN41 2Y1. England Grant Lawrence JAMES BROWN Love Over-due (Attic) James Brown, Mr. Dynamite, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, Soul Brother Number 1, The God-Father of Soul, and all those other titles he has rightfully claimed since he started puttin' out hits in 1956, has released yet another album (he has put out about seventy, and literally hundreds of singles!). Love Over-due. This post-prison recording is much better than his last release, the 1988 "I'm ReaL" with Full Force providing the electronics. This time he's back to a real live band, and the results are markedly better. "(So Tired of Standing Still We Got To) Move On," hits harder than anything he's done since 1984's "Unity" with Afrika Bambaataa. The jail time actually seems to have done him good in that he could get away from the public eye and collect his thoughts. He really does sound younger then when he went in! Anyway, we got some funky jams in "Move On," "Standing On Higher Ground," "Dance, Dance, Dance To The Funk," and "It's Time To Love." This is a solid release with enough punch and groove to surpass most of what he did in the late Seventies and Eighties, and although it's not as original and awesome as what he was doin' in the early Seventies and Sixties, the man's 58 years old. just got out of jail, and it's his first release in three years, so there'snoth- in' to complain abouL Adam Sloan U2 Achtung Baby (Island) U2 and I go back a long, long way. Back in the late (very late) 1970's a bunch of us at our art school in Halifax were the organizers of a tape exchange between art schools in London and New York. From London we got the Pistols and their clones. From New York we got the Ramones and their clones. 'Round about 1980 wc received a cut from some Irish band named U2 (I think it was "Boy/Girl," but I'm not sure). Being big fans of the Clash we didn'l think U2 amounted to much. Strange things began to happen, however. Boy was released and suddenly U2 was on the cutting edge of a new positive (not cynical), political (not nihilist) and spiritual (not death) post-punk movement. Because of the Edge's droning guitar they also got lumped into the Celtic rock category with Big Country and the Alarm (who I preferred). Does anyone remember this? Or that wearing a U2 pin was considered a subversive act? Times have changed. Looking back at the '80's it is amazing to think thai a band like U2 became what they became: ihe Mother of all bands. They are the only one- lime alternative band lo go to the absolute lop, the new Beatles (bigger than Jesus!). I remember the year The Joshua Tree was released and how shocked the station manager at CKDU (Dalhousie University) was when ihe DJ's and listeners voted it the number one "alternative" release of the year. Shortly thereafter came the over-saturation of U2, including the crass commercialization involved with Rattle and Hum and the ensuing backlash which resulted. Yeah, even I, an avid fan, haven't listened to anything but "When Love Comes to Town," wilh B.B. King in these past three years. Last year the rumours began to surface that a new release was imminent. All I wanted was for these Irishmen to get back to the studio and produce, showing their musical growth in the process. Forget the new Beatles schtick and return to the Pistols-influenced band they once Well, Achtung Baby is neither of these extremes, which probably isn't all that bad. If anything, this release shows the band maturing, a bit more cynical and a bit more atmospheric musically. The latter is no doubt due to the production of Daniel Lanois (comparisons with his own Acadie aren't far off). The strongest, and maybe least commercial cuts include: "Zoo Station," "One," "Until the End of the World," "So Cruel," and "The Fly." The less successful cuts are for the most part produced by Steve Lilly white or supervising producer, Brian Eno. This is a brooding album. The Lanois-esque atmospheric production, combined with the Edge' s heavy funk borrowing, creates an existen- elite BODY SHOP LTD. REPAIR ESTIMATE tial stupor leaving us neither up nor down. Bono's lyrics have the feel of a man who has given up on changing the worid and is more concerned with his own existence (an Irish mix of Jean-Paul Sartre and Leonard Cohen). The often droning industrial background adds to the purgatorial feel of the CD. Bono, who the Edge once described as "a homy guy who needs Jesus," and U2 as a band, who many critics complained have too much Jesus, seem to be spending their time in the Book of Job. Bono sings "and I'd join the movement if there was one I believed in, / Yeah I'd break the bread and wine, / If there was a church I could receive n./' Kim Certainly there are problems with Achtung Baby, like too much Bono and not enough Edge, but it's not bad, really. I'm not even sure that this release will sell all that well: not enough pop-hooks—which may make it a little more "Politically Correct" for me to wear my pin and go to buy the album (in a disguise, of course). Dave Langllle HOLY ROLLERS Fabuley (Dischord) It's kind of a neat story on how I stumbled across this disc sol'll share it with you. I was in the on-air booth at CiTR looking through all of the new discs just added to the play list, because I hadn't been there for two weeks, and I came across the Holy Rollers. With disgust I said, "This isn't the Holy Rollers From Calgary?" to myself. Soon realizing the error in my self-posed question the name High Rollers crept into my memory and confirmed that this indeed was not that band. "The High Rollers arc a disco band. A seventies retro band whose idea of fun is bell-bottoms and big hats," says Dave Fortune, ex-Cal- garian and present Cargo records rep. Obviously much different from this Midwest trio who hibernate in the Dischord confines. 22 tracks long, Fabuley is a combination of the band's previous LP's, Fabuley and As Is, and gets surprisingly boring very quickly. I say surprisingly boring because the the first track, "Changeling" explodes through the speakers with a My Bloody Valentine, dirge-core, guitar thing and ambient vocals...then, all of a sudden, the song ends and everything is just pretty mediocre until track 13, "Head On". This is not a good ratio on a 22 song disc. Actually, the only thing that caught my attention about "Head On" was the Spinal Tap, "Hell Hole", guitar riff in the chorus. At times the disc spurts out Fugazi-type stuff but that is probably hard not to do when Ian Mack - aye produced this outing and owner/operates the label. This poses the question, are all bands on Dischord straight-edge? Person- ally, Idon't know becausel haven't listened to everything on the Dischord label but it's again obvious that all Dischord bands share a common anti-American denominator and are all under the watchful and scrulinous eye ofthe Federal Bureau of Investigation. But, then again, who isn't? I'm quite sure that all the FBI agents have to do is punch in afew key words like "Reprovisional" or "Styrofoam" and this huge, bold type Dischord logo glitches up the whole fuckin' system for weeks. Point in case, that's probably Ian Mackaye's intent. WeU, as hard as the Holy Rollers try to keep the proverbial hounds on the Dischord heels they fail triumphantly. Maybe I expect far too much from these bands but isn't that what they are supposed to do...live up to our expectations? Scooter JANUARY @ SWERVEDRIVER RAISE (A&M) MY BLOODY VALENTINE LOVELESS (WEA) Oooh...I've been listening to bolh of these albums for over a month now and for some reason have the idea in my head that I should be reviewing them together. Not sure why, maybe 'coz both Swervedriver and My Bloody Valentine were both nurtured on England's Creation label, or perhaps because they give hope to all those who have been looking for seme decent music to come from across Ihe Atlantic afler lhat tremendously annoying barrage of Stone Roses/Happy Mondays shit MBV's "Loveless" is my per- sonal favourite of the two, be cause of its consistency and the fact that it confirms in my mind lhat My Bloody Valentine are all geniuses. My roommate thinks that there is something severely wrong with the tape deck whenever I put ihis album on—the trademark guitar samples and re-sam ples and re-sampled samples are everywhere. Time and sound are twisted into songs and lyrics and even around dance beats: "Soon", from last year's "Glider" EP is included as the last track. RecenUy while watching TV at a friend's house I saw a National Geographic program on the mating rituals of slugs: the two slugs climb up a tree, loop around each other and begin a slow descent hanging from a rope of their own slimyness, while their sex organs emerge from their heads and they do their thing. My Bloody Valentine would have been the perfect soundtrack. Swervedriver also have a defi- nale ambience, allhough it seems lo be more a creation of the production values than as a part of the songs themselves. "Raise" is a bil scattered, with tome parts being excellent and others a bit monotonous and self-indulgent "Sci-Flyer", "Son of Mustang Foid". "Deep Seat", and "Feel So Real" all have enough juicy riffs to keep me nodding along for the whole record, although other people I know simply swear by this album. Good enough lo add lo your collection if you're looking for a slightly different take on the old Rory Tall GRIND CRUSHER And They All Died Try as they might, the bands on the Grind Crusher compilation tape wouldn't even scare small children or grandmothers. The fright-potential expected on a thrash-metal tape is sadly lacking. Also missing from most se lections is any shred of originality. The bands Heresy, Morbid Angel, Repulsion, Godfksh, Terrorizer, Hellbastard, Carnage, Napalm Death and Bolt Thrower all sound hke Venom wanna-bes, wilh an occasional Yngwie Malmsteen/Judas Priest/Iron Maiden/Mercyful Fate guitar solo thrown in for variety. They obviously ran out of ideas after corning up with a suitably sepulchral name. Il's hard to believe so many people could Iry and fail to achieve a Cronos/Lemmy vocal effect In some cases, humour compensates for lack of originality. Lawn- mower Deth asks the musical question "How many times can you bounce up and down on Satan's litde trampoline?" (I give up..liow many?) Sweet Tooth's "Fat Gty eals two dozen people" sounds more like "Fatso eals two dcBendoughm*s."Carcass's"Exhume to Consume" might be amusing, but well never know; the vocals are recorded backwards. And Spazztic Blurr demands to know "where is me Marco, where is me sharko," despairing in the end because the vocalist can'lsay"Mar- co-shatko" fast enough. (Spazztic, yes; Blurr, na) Several songs are musically unique. Naked City's "Osaka Bondage" blends thrash metal with 50's radio and late-night piano jazz. Old Lady Drivers' "Colostomy Grab-bag" combines wheezing metal guitar widi Lola-like acoustic and Spanish electric guitars. (And yes, the singer does sound hke an old lady.) If you Hke uninspired death-metal, or want a good laugh, Grind Crush- Karen Rempel MOFOS PSYCHOSONIC PIX O' THE MONTH The most disposable genre of bad pop is the novelty song. Bom oul of a fad or a news event or whatever current thing that perks this imploding society timing has forced me to be a part of, these songs, if limed right, make dollars for people who for the most pan, don'l deserve it. There are three key things aboul novelty songs to know: 1) They arc usually in the first person (MY ding-a- ling, I'VE got pac man fever, tie ME kangaroo-down-sport), to make you saps identify wilh it; 2) most are by two-dimensional dj's (such as Rick Dees, who's tv talk show made Anenio seem intelligent); 3) well, maybe there are only two things to know. These songs mercifully short-lived, and disappear faster than Bruce Willis movies, but true tomy sick nature, here's a few you can't do without: CHUCK BERRY-My Ding-a-ling - Guaranteed to be the first song aboul your jimmy to hit the airwaves, it is also a paen to running off a batch by hand. Once il got past the censors. Chuck had thousand of grade 2-6 kids singing about their own ding-a- ling. First safe-sex song, too. CHEEZABILITY RATING: 95 RAYSTEVENS-TheStreak-Incase you puppies out there didn't know it, the seventies were filthy with cheap fads hke pet rocks, spouse swapping, and thinking cocaine was cool. Ray Stevens, king of goofy greats hke Guitarzan and Ahab the Arab, couldn't let this one lie. Streaking was the old an of doffing your clothes and running buck nekkid ihrough sporting events, funerals, presidential inaugeralions, whatever. Ray lends purpose and form in this docu- menlofdesperateexpressionof freedom. Plus, it has a cool slide whisUe. (Sidebar. If you really wanna doRay, you gotta do it right. My pal Wobba informs me that Ray did a number of similar songs like 'Where Have You Gone Barry Manilow?', so if you want tojoin ihe Ray cull, hum away I CHEEZABELTTY RATING: 75 RICK DEES-Disco Duck - Undoubtedly, this says it all about disco. This dj lent both his dimensions to Disco Duck and true to the novelty song axiom, it shot to the lop. Friends of mine who know Dees from his horrible talk show still refuse lo believe he did this one. CHEEZABILITY RATING: 60 SHOWDOWN-The Rodeo Song -1 don't know if this qualifies, since it qualifies as a classic in the praties, where arrested development is a cherished value and the song is the anthem of the Rodeo Cult, which I don'l have lime lo describe how warped THAT is. High point of this (rumoured to be writter versatile performer Gaye De- lorme) tune is the radio vers because there arc so many nasty words in it, the radio versio cool, since just aboul the only words lhat aren't bleeped are 'off to the rodeo'. CHEEZABILTY RATING: 45 (higher if you chew Red Man) DISHONOURABLE MENTION:HANK WILLIAMS JR.-Don'tGive Us A Reason - No doubt, this is the worst kind of novelty song. Propaganda put out lo stir up the masses into supporting the Gulf actions, this clown manages to put himself in the ui holy equation that resulted in the Gulf War as the jingoistic, ra tune rose to the top of the charts. Ranks right up there with the film 'Triumph of the Will' and David Duke's campaign song as a low point of propaganda. CHEEZABILITY RATING: Areyou kidding? Of course there are thousands more to add to this list, but Ihese are a good start. Bye for now, and don't forget to send those weird titles for swell gifts! II, HOLLYWOOD.
