CANADA V6T 1Z1. 3 Eigg°x$im couver special Fall. Shit. Stuck in fall again. Summertime seems like a three month long dream from which we oil must awake, only lo find the bed room floor much colder than we thought. What a stupid analogy. Bul what do you expect - I just woke up. Autumn is a time to get down lo business and on with the things you weren't going to do during the last three months for the simple reason (hot, "Hey, it's summer.* Well, I'm going to break with lhat silly tradition. I'm gonna keep putting things off for ihree more months. I will still say "Hey, it's summer," and nobody will question me. I figure I can ride lhat one until at least Christmas time. One thing I can't get out of are these cassette reviews, or critiques, as we highly literary types like to coll it. Not that I'm complaining, as the fame and fortune the stewardship of ihis monthly column has brought my way has maintained a regular flow of floozies through my swingin' bachelor's penthouse, as well as keeping my medicine cabinet stocked up with my favourite drug, Ex-Lax (which gives you a hint as to what is done with old Vancouver Specials). So let's rock. The first tape is by Chronometer (ah, the first bold letters; hands up those who jusl started reading here). To my knowledge, this is their second demo, the first being handled by former Vancouver Specialist and shoo-in for the Rob Wright look-a-like contest, Sean Raggett. Everything he said about their earlier submission still goes for this one, as both tapes rock down in lhal face-punching, ferocious way lhal Pablo Cruise never did. "Vindictive" from the first one is repeated here, ihough I suspect if you heard ihem side-by-side sublle differences would be apparent. I'd be a little happier if that psychosonic lead guitar tortuously wrapping itself around the cement blocks that are Chronometer's songs was mixed higher up, since it is ihe icing on the cake for me. Hardcore trio Pebble (keep those hands up now) have been around for a couple of years and have used this lime to develop an appealing crunch-pop sound that would fit in well on Epitaph's roster. Their self-titled 1994 cassette teems with powerful hooks and last- gasp vocals, and even the somewhat muddy recording does little to detract from ihe immediacy of songs like "llford", "Plainfield", "Teen Anthem", and "Narrow Category". Pebble's new tape, You Ruined My Sunday, also rocks, but in a much clearer way. These three guys operate as a lightly knit unit, dividing songwriting credits equally among them and sharing vocals. The only problem is that from the looks of it this unit has knit themselves a new home across ihe Strait in Victoria! Pebble come back! We promise we'll buy more of your tapes and attend your shows. And I'll give you your recycling box back. Also chucking tapes over from the Island is Victoria's Burlap Ouch! (now reach into your pocket, remove all your cash and put it on the table). There's a couple songs here lhat suggest lhat if Nik Kambeitz and company put their minds to it they could have glassy- eyed college radio hacks wrapped around their collective pinkies in no time flat. I'm mainly talking about the first two cuts, "Cracker" and "Eww...Gwoss", which skip along like a manic schoolkid who's just traded her Ritalin [see fig. 1] for sugar products. However, as far as I can tell, the tape has only about half the songs that are listed on the cover, an irritating practice which bands occasionally resort to for reasons that, while completely beyond me, can only stem from some kind of malicious grudge against CiTR, its employees, and iheir families. I now have no choice but to scratch Burlap Ouch! off my Christ- Driving up to Nanaimo, we encounter The Bus (close your eyes and start counting backwards from 100), convoluted brainchild of one Bruce Kennedy, with help from guitarist Richard Polachuk and young Scott Reginald Kennedy. Their new cassette Artistic tiscence is 86 minutes of synthesizer stylings not heard since Gary Numan's hair transplant. Actually, what really comes to mind are the cyberexperiments of Bill Nelson, with side one extending the premise of Drastic Plastic and side two taking its cue from later ambient instrumental works such as "La Belle et la Bete". The newer songs are really interesting, with more funk and industrial noise creeping into the mo- rass, while the older tunes (many songs from his previous cassettes Waiting For the Bus and Still Waiting are included, although I'm a^ little disappointed with the omission of the deviant "Pop Whiz" from ihe latter collection) continue to grow on me. God knows what he's singing about, although I have the faint impression that loves both found and lost have contributed to the production of this twisted soul churning out eccentric synth-pop vignettes on his island paradise. You better believe it when I say ihis guy's on original. Another Intel-chip-installed weirdo sending in cassettes these days is Caffeine Charlie (tickle, tickle), he of ihe kands@broken.ranch.org e-mail address. High-tech, top-quality recording utilising the latest in computer audio imaging is the name of the game here. Expect to be challenged in a musical sense whenever auditioning CC's stuff, and as long as you are sufficiently prepared you should be able to survive the digitized onslaught of such products as the latest Dub Destroyer cassette, this time credited to 31337 (ever consider switching deodorants?). Maybe I'm wrong - maybe this is a new understudy programming these Dantean frequency clusters while Doddy Charlie cackles Darth Vader-like in the background, reveling in the f>olyrhythms of several different BPM pulses colliding in audiospace to produce new, as-yet-unheard alien shuffles, and delighting in the R&B samples so decontextualized they're funky again. Can'twaitforlhe next upgrade. On ihe other hand, Kristia Jeanne Sheffield (hey, I'm about as sick of this parenthesized running-joke about armpits as you are) has both her feet planted on Terra Firma far away from any bleep farting back boxes and with the dials on her time machine pointed towards yesterday's music rather than the future's aural algorithms. Liberal use of lhat most conservative of instruments, the violin (along with its relatives the viola, the cello, and the crossbow), on her debut cassette The Burning - also the name of her live band - endows her music wilh a certain romantic flourish that recalls Dead Can Dance, Tuxedomoon, and Charlie Daniels (well, maybe not him). Adding in NEW YORK THEATRE 639 COMMERCIAL DRIVE • ALL AGES 4 OCTOBER 1995 KJS' Dolores Riordanesque yodeling and the effect is exactly that of a cross between Sarah McLachlan and Loreena McKenniIt stripped of any Marilime or Celtic rubbish. Any guitars are either steel-siring tic or classical, drums are sparse, and, save for some samples on one cut, keyboards are strictly unplugged, the best example of this being on Kristia's beautiful pump organ solo "Cornelia's Cup". All very handmade, like an old abacus or something.

The worst thing about being in B.F.A. is desperately trying to be clever in interviews. The worst thing about being in TLC, however, is the tight vinyl shirts. (P.S. I'm not really in TLC - it's hypothetical) What's the best thing about Winnipeg? Doug: The world's largest scale. You pay three dollars and you can weigh anything you want. Also, you're only eight hours away from the world's largest ball of twine in Minnesota. What is the most famous band from Winnipeg? Doug: Propagandhi, Propagandhi, Propagondhi.

The 3rd album from Brooklyn's finest and It certainly is their finest. 14 pop-punk Available on LP, cass _ CD Unlike its flashy cousin on the French Riviera, the Vancouver International Film Festival is neither glamorous nor star-studded; rather it is a festival devoted to industry and, first and foremost, to audiences. With some 290 films from 39 countries, the VIFF is bound to have something for even the most cinephobic citizens of Vancouver. And for confirmed film buffs, the festival offers a panoply of cinematic treats. An important point to keep in mind when selecting which of these treats to partake of is that many of the films featured each year are picked up for distribution and return to Vancouver ot some time. Movies which feature big name actors or are helmed by established, well known directors will likely appear on local screens again, and for this reason they should be avoided. Instead, gorge yourself on those films you don't stand a hope in hell of ever seeing again. The VIFF always offers an eclectic mix, and this year viewers can choose films from such diverse components as the Centenary of Cinema Celebration, Dragons and Tigers: The Cinemas of East Asia, Canadian Images, Non-Fiction Features of 1995, Cinema of Our Time, The Best of Britain, and Walk on the Wild Side. Marking the 100th anniversary of film, as its name suggests, the Centenary of Cinema series delivers several films that have been sitting unwatched in some backroom. Not to be missed is 'Powell and Pressburger at War', featuring four British-made WW II propaganda films which were ■Don't forget out 7 puge mail-otdet eclogue with oil sorts of cool- 'm!Tdf fo,rally Se„r°T T^tt!*?™])0, noJn ^Turt^ ■ ,, .. , & B of the four it would have to be 49fn Poro//e/(1941), an irresistible oddity ^tuff.

SHAKE THE RECORD LABEL 59? VICTORIA CP. 265?7 ST-LAMBERT, QUEBEC J4P-3S-? th a plot involving Nazis intent on overrunning Canada and a cast lhat includes Laurence Olivier and Leslie Howard. Just the opportunity to see Olivier as a fur trapper with a Quebecois accent makes this film well worth the price of admission. Dragons and Tigers: Cinemas of East Asia is one of the VIFF's most important series, putting the festival on the map as the largest showcase of Asian film in North America. As in previous years, the Dragons and Tigers component will include a competition for the Award for Young ema, honouring the film maker with the most creative and innovative first or second feature. This year will also feature a selection of Yakuza gangster films, popular in Japan in the sixties and seventies and currently making a comeback in that country. Offering fresh perspectives on the genre will be Gonin (dir: Ishii Takashi, 1995), which makes explicit the homoerotic undertones present in many Yakuza films, Like a Rolling Stone (dir: Kumashiro Tatsumi, 1994), which overturns convention and makes the lead character an anti-hero, and Another Lonely Hitman (dir: Mochizuki Rokuro, 1995), which examines the face of corporate respectability put on by modern day gangs in Japan. Also worth seeing are 301,302 (Food, Diet ,Sex & Film) (dir: Park Chul-Soo, South Korea, 1995) and Mee Pok Man (dir: Erjck Khoo, Singapore). The first film centres on obsessions with food between neighbours in an apartment complex, while the latter is either a psychological drama or a black comedy- it all depends on your perspective - about a slow witted vendor who takes in a destitute prostitute. The twenty selections in the Canadian Images series present different views of our country's socio-political landscape. Three are documentaries, two are directed by women, and two-thirds are by first-time feature directors. Most of the films deal with the anger and frustration of the 'Gen- X' card. After the success of last year's Clerks (dir: Kevin Smith), the voices of our 'slacker' generation ore given their due time. Looking at life among twenlysomelhirlgs in Calgary is Gary Burns with The Suburbanators (1995), while Clement Virgo gives us his take on Toronto's black community in Rude (1995) and Laurie Lynd offers us her cinematic adaptation of Daniel Maclvor's Chalmers Award winning play House (1995). Non Fiction Features of 1995 includes some great documentaries, among them Craig Baldwin's examination of noise band Negativeland's battle with U2 and Island Records, Sonic Outlaws. Even if you are not in the music biz, this film about taste, copyright, and free speech in our digital age is not to be missed. Other documentary highlights are Maes- 6 OCTOBER 1995 Most interviews consist of various inanities and incredibly redundant questions. Bands become weary and worn by the oh-so trite inquisitions and ass-kissing banter. Darlene neither adheres to this nor any other redundant bullshit. Powered by a potpourri of . toxic fumes and beverages, she stormed steadfastly to the depths of the Town Pump to ask those luscious boys of Killdozer one simple question: "If you could go TO LUNCH WITH ANY HN KOPU (LIVING OR _-AD), WHO WOULD THPT BE AND WHERE WOULD YOU GO FOR LUNCH?" tt wT* t°nTl9 the Pr°S Qnd COns of a lu"<* experience with a bunch of rotting corpses, these polite (and qosh t-iuit5 °f b°ne ""* "**• « *M "At the round table of the closest (HOP would be Dean Mar- be iTo Zrf FA ^l'"•*•" K°«" ^cause she woJdn't be a bother) Fidel Castro (to provide the necessary apres pancake agar), Joey Shithead (to demonstrate pissing oveTa buT and not hiding it), The McRackins (because th^y reVverXe tdie^'sit"9^^ "^ baC°n)' Je"°"B«KdK Keed (seated s.de by side, of course , Quentin Crisp (in draa of course) Truman Capote (hmmmm) and Dad (to payrhe ,ab)> tro: King ofthe Cowboy Artists (dir: Les Blank, USA), about an artist who refuses to bow to anyone, determined to create his art on his own terms, and NicoJcon (dir: Susan Ofteringer, Germany), which looks at the life of the quintessential femme fotale. The Cinema of Our Time series highlights the best in film from around the world. Ten of the films from France look at director's takes on adolesr cence and the standard pains that come with that. Check out Brothers: Red Roulette (dir: Olivier Dahan, 1994), a hip and violent urban grunge flick with impressive camera work and a cool soundtrack. Another French film, Too Much Happiness (dir: Cedric Kahn), goes full tilt extending a party into an emotional rage. Hate (dir: Mathieu Kassovitz, 1994) continues the path of anger and focuses on the endemic racism in contemporary French society. Hatred and bitterness are themes in many of the films from the United States this year, including A Boy Called Hate (dir: Mitch Marcus, 1994), a tale of urban angst in a Los Angeles suburb where an alienated youth intervenes in a rape. There is also Nadja (dir: Elina Lowensohn, 1994), a vampire themed film steeped in urban funk and crossing the Dracula legend with parallel plots of dysfunctional families. Earlier I mentioned that many of the films being shown at the VIFF were likely to return to Vancouver. Count on a number of these coming out of the Best of Britain series including A Feast at Midnight (dir: Justin Hardy, 1995), Voices (dir: Malcom Clarke, 1994), and The Neon Bible (dir: Terence Davies, 1995) are certain to be shown again. Rather than squandering vour precious film fest time on these guaranteed be-back choices, check out the ones that are grittier and probably won't be easily screened again, such as Criminal (air: Campbell Hill, 1994), a story of lost innocence culminating in the tragic suicide of a 17 year old misfit, or Instituta Benjamenta (dir: The Brothers Quay, 1995), a haunting study of childhood dreams which fuses puppetry, animation and live action sequences in an eerie, Kafko-esque setting. Fans of the dark and disturbing won't want to miss the Walk on the Wild Side series of midnight screenings. This year's lineup features six films: Cyberjack (dir: Robert Lee, 1995), Accumlator 1 (dir: Jan Sverak, 1994), Funny Man (dir: Simon Sprackling), The Addiction (dir: Abel Ferrara, 1995), Blue Skies Are A Lie (dir: Gregory Ross, 1995), and Crying Freeman (dir: Christophe Gans, 1995). Of particular interest is Accumlator 1, a combination of action, comedy, and sci-fi with a plot centering on a couch potato whose life is sucked dry by a vampire-like source. Similarly themed, Abel Ferrarra's (Bod Lieutenant) The Addiction examines the link between heroin addiction and vampirism, complete ss of gushing blood and vampire feeding frenzies. Not for the •nish. The Vancouver International Film Festival lasts for just two short weeks, so skip those boring courses and/or ditch that low paying service job and head out to the cinema. _jM__i_____H Br -W tFriday, October 2?, 1^95! |programming by, for, &. about lesbian & gay,| [bisexual, transsexual, transgendered,L Itwo-spirited, and straight-but-not-narrow folks] radio Event CeLeBRATInG ALL sexual orientationsl Tadio PrOTeST against cenSorshiP & hOmophobiaJ ISPECTA FOCUS: I rAdio ProT^R-hlpart ii_ ?nd annual_na. tionalsex-fm] [cf^s/community radio station CKDU and to the CRTC.

Cirkus Mind started the evening with some foirly unremarkable, but enthusiastically executed, tunes. Thek- music was standard AOR fare,: although their entertainment "$alue was high - it's been a while since I've seen anyone attempt lhat playing- guilar-wilh-teeth-and-behind-their- head thing. Mossy Ledge are a tight five- piece who played some very nicely-written and well-rehearsed songs.

The eventual winners made an impressive amount of noise for four people; they went for the wall o' sound approach, and it worked well. Although I palled at the sight of the synthesizer, it actually came through for them, meshing nicely with the stringed instruments. All in all, a feast o' fun and a good, strong start to Shindig. So Sophie Hamley WALTZ DARUNG * STURVIS GLEAM September 19th, 1995 The great thing about ihe Railway Club is how you can just escape to the back of the bar if you don't like what you see on stage. It's a nice comfortable area of the venue wilh reduced noise levels and all ihe same atmosphere as the stage area. Well, things weren't so bad that I actually stayed back there on ihe 19th, but ihere were a few times I when was tempted to wait out the evening in the rear. Waltz Darling were up first with occasionally interesting songs, often rock music wilh a polkq or waltz backbeal. The band wos competent wilh what they were doing, but a little bit boring to wotch. For m«sond o few otxsrs, he most pressing thought during their set was whether or not the singer looked more like Hollywood Squares' Shadoe Stevens or the vocalist of Spandau Bollet. A good example of a band with a lot of neat musicol ideas was next: Sturvi* had maybe the three best songs I've heard so far in ihis year's Shindig. For brief moments, I thought they might have been the next coming of Hardship Post or Sunny Day Real Estate, but those thoughts were few and far between as the olher ten tunes foiled to maintain lhat quality. Thirty minutes was for loo long for these guys, I thought; ten would have been more apt. At least they had-an interesting stage presence, wilh the drummer wearing a modified ski mask that looked something like a Martian with antlers. Well, it was kind of funny to see at leosf. Perhaps ihe band whose overall sound I liked ihe most was ihey suffered from a syndrome of too-many-too-similar, further, the vocals seemed to lack the strength and precision thelf songs demand. Lots of effects combined with musicol proficiency and well- constructed songs won the day for them, ihough, a* Gleam were the judges' choic* on this night. I con't soy that any of ihe bands were bad, but none of ihem amazed me for ony length of time, tf the three were to play together again ihough, I'd probably just hang out in the back: - K. Geffen SHOEBOX COUPONS SMALL TOWN RHINOS TECHNICIANS OF THE SACRED September 26, 1995 I'm glad I wasn't judging this Gleam. If nothing else, they were ; Very consistent. The songs were Itllbsonably catchy pop-rock, but week's Shindig. Even ihough I wasn't particularly fond of any of them, all three of the bands lhat played tonight were perhaps amongst the best that have played so far. First were The Shoebox Coupons, who trekked out from Kamloops for this show. ||||*tf*pne else described their music as kiddy pop', which was pretty accurate. I enjoyed ihem and their energy ihough; perhaps iheir only failing an inability to add much variety to their set. Slill, keep an eye out for ihem, they might be the one of these three to watch for in the future. If Shoebox Coupons could be compared to a band that played last year, perhaps it would be Gob, and if Small Town Rhinos had a counterpart, it might be the Cowardz. STR is a rock band, but with some creative twists - a little influence of Sparkmarker, Seaweed and maybe even Motorhead. The evening's second tight knit, energetic set was a sign of tough decisions yel to come for our judges. Last on stage were Technicians of the Sacred. Gratuitous, over-serious and self-indulgent in their playing, the band overworked tiresome grooves beneath vocot raps. For me ot least, this was reminiscent of my less favourite aspects of jane's Addiction os well os those 'Birkenstocks and granota' bands hat are out ihere. However, it was done really well, just not to my tost*. On this night it was enough to win though, a night where 1 wouldn't have been able to moke a clear K.

Undaunted, I headed down to the Starfish Room before the Inbreds' show with Jale and the Superfriendz anyway to see if I could still get an interview. I ended up having to wait for two and a half hours until Dave and Mike returned from dinner, but I finally got my interview. If you're not already familiar with the Inbreds, the band is from Kingston, Ontario, and is made up of Mike O'Neill, who sings and plays bass guitar, and Dave Ullrich, who plays drums. In the last year they have been the subject of extensive media hype and rumours, as Well as being the targets of a major label feeding frenzy. DiSCORDER: How has this tour with Jale and the Superfriendz been? Mike: Boy, we've talked to a lot of people about this ond we invariably end up sounding like hippies because we're just loving all of it. 'Loving every minute of it', os somebody once said. Dave: Wasn't that the guy from Vancouver? Mike: Reolly? Is that Chilliwack or something? Dove: Mike Reno? Yeah, Loverboy. Mike: It's been really fun. On this tour we've traveled in three separate vans because after Vancouver we're all splitting off and going our own separate ways. But it's been good traveling together with them. Most of the nights we've shared a room of whatever form with ihe Superfriendz, and ihe hi jinks have been non-stop. And Jale has been no slouch Who's the biggest practical joker? Mike: Well, it's hard to say. Chris Murphy and Matt Murphy, who both play in Superfriendz, are titans of humor and hijinks. Dave: But of course we can't forget Charles and Drew (also of the Superfriendz), who are also titans of the lowbrow. Mike: They're more understated; they're sort of the guys who sit ot the back of the classroom. But I'd say Malt ond Chris are your class clowns, basi- colly. How were Another Roadside Attraction and Edgefest? Were they the biggest crowds you've ever had? Mike: Actually, we didn't play Edgefest this year. You were supposed to, weren't you? Dave: We ployed Edgefest last year. Mikaf-.The two (hing* you just mentioned are related. The scheme that is set up by Jay Gould (manager of the Tragically Hip) is that if you play Another Roadside Attraction, you aren't allowed to play shows on either side of the beginning or last date. There's a six or four week radius [during which] you can't advertise for shows, and Edgefest lay within that boundary. Dave: It's like a Venn diagram where you add the three together and there's a middle zone where you just can't go. If you try to play there, something bad Mike: It's a Bermuda Trianglel Basically, you're wiped off the map. Here's the inevitable question: What's the deal with the TAG signing? Dave: The way things stand, we signed a deal with Tag records in the US. [Tag is] a brand new label, a division of Atlantic. In Canada, we have our label, PF, which we distributed all our first CD's and tapes through. Now Inbreds stuff is distributed through Warner Canada; ihe way it works is lhal we control all the marketing, we get a marketing budget, we run our own ads, and ihey put [our stuff] in the stores. But in the US, Tag is in charge of everything. Mike: As far as artistic control and things, I think lhat Tag extended its hand in good Faith by picking up our album that we released independently [Kombinator], and [instead of] taking off things that have legal implications, including samples el cetera, [they're] basically putting out the album as is. That's exactly how we intended it and we're just taking advantage of the fact that we have distribution now. Before, we would deliver tapes to HMV and Sam's in Toronto, London and in Kingston. As for as anything outside of that we were doing some distribution through Cargo. What happened with the Sub Pop fiasco? Do you know about all the rumours that were flying around? Dave: Give us some. One was that Sub Pop wouldn't sign you if you didn't get a guitarist. I heard that one when I was in Kingston. Another one that was going around in Vancouver was that you signed to Sub Pop and they were going to overlay guitar tracks over the Kombinator album and release it like that. Dave: The serious response is lhat Sub Pop was interested in working with us, but what happened was lhat a radio guy in Toronto called up Joyce from Sub Pop [and told her thai we had no guitarist]. It's a tribute to iheir sense of jocularity that Joyce said, 'We won't sign the Inbreds unless they get a guitar player.' She was joking in the sense of a 'I wish you would mind your own business' sentiment. It was a joke, and she knew this was the kind of thing that would start exactly what it did, i.e.. rumours. It was totally funny that it happened, to us it was very funny. But some people took it very seriously, for instance that person that printed it like that and set off all these rumors. Take it as you will. How did Jay Ferguson come to be managing you guys? Mike: I couldn't believe it myself. I heard a lot rumours about it and I was a little bit shocked. Essentially, Jay left Sloan to manage us because he believed so strongly in our music. You really couldn't have a bigger compliment than lhat. I felt really responsible and I hope nobody's mad.

Mike: He said that he was "Underwhelmed", and if that's a word, I'm not sure... (hysterics and chaos ensue for a while) So the Inbreds are responsible for the breakup of Sloanl Mike: Well, yeah, I guess so. And you can write Ihem at Murderecords and ask them. Thai's the best answer we can possibly give for that. Dave: We have ihe same management as Sloan and it turned out that Jay became part of that fold and was interested, upon the breakup of Sloan, in working with us, which was a total compliment. Now that you're superstars, are you intimidated at all by meeting people in other Mike: We were discussing this over dinner at Subway tonight: What we would do if we sow Pete Townsend or Ringo Starr on the street? What would we say? Dave's finishing up his turkey double meat... Dave: We did this whole routine in the middle of Subway. Mike: ...and we almost got kicked out. Pretty much we'd be nervous about meeting them. That's why I feel a little funny about replacing John Entwhistle. He got drunk and had to leave the Allstar Ringo band... something like lhat. The deal is, every time we meet a band it's exciting if you know or are a fan of their music. For instance, Matthew Sweet, meeting him on Another Roadside Attraction was pretty exciting, and he turned out to be pretty nor- Do you guys direct your own videos or does someone else direct your videos? Mike: Well the latest video, "Any Sense of Time", was directed by Evan Bernard. He did "Root Down" by ihe Beastie Boys and he's about to do a John Spencer [video]. "You've got the Flavour", the Beck Dave: But in a lot of ways, in most of the videos we've done up to now, we've definitely had a lot of input. The "You Will Know" one, which is the second last one we did, was also directed by another person, but I found it pretty important lhat we come up wilh a lot of the central ideas. In fact, it's hard to get into it if you don't. Mike: We've come up wilh a lot of ideas for olher bands. You might be familiar wilh the Happy Days scenario for Weezer. We came up with that and gave it to Spike Jonze. I wasn't feeling particularly musically inspired but I came up with this idea because I was a big fan of Happy Days when I was in Grade 14. Dave: What is it that Al always says? Mike: Something about tho fish. That's the part lhal they didn't.i«Werstond. Weezer sort of added that. What are some of your favourite bands currently? Mike: Right now I am appreciating the Beach Boys more and more. Dave: One new band is Plum Tree, from Halifax, and definitely Superfriendz. Actually I've been listening to a lot of John Spencer - and Built to Spill. Is there anything new coming out on PF in terms of your stuff or stuff by other Kingston bands? Mike: The Caspers album was just released. It's called Driving Along a Massive Dam. It's the 22nd PF release. Dave: One olher thing that we're probably gonna do when we go back is a thing with Andrew Green from the Shermans. We might do a seven inch with Mike and myself and Andrew under some new moniker; do a couple songs. [That would be] coming out in the fall sometime. Do you write new material on the road? Mike: Before we left on this tour I had plenty of new ideas. Generally, whenever we have time I just work on it. I sort of have the songs in my head, so I'll write down lyrics. I don't think I'll work on ihem seriously until I go back home and have some real time to work on it. Dave was saying it would be valuable to bring an acoustic guitar that you could play in the van because there's a lot of driving. What are you doing after the tour? Mike: After this tour we're playing CMJ in New York City. Then we're touring with a band colled Dave: At the end of September we're going for the firs! time over to England. We're gonna try and find Reny from the Stone Roses and try and get him back to join Stone Roses. We feel that he did something wrong. What would you do if this were to all end now? Mike: I'd probably go home and get a job. Dave: What about that Entwhistle thing? Playing in Ringo's band. Mike: Well, if Ringo asked me to play. I don't think I'm high profile enough. They would definitely say, "Who's ihe guy on the bass?" So 1 don't know. If it were all to end right now, it would have been a lot of laughs.

Nope! /^-»ene have been compared L7to the Smiths at least a million times, but lhat is beside the point. Any English band wilh literary pretensions and some sensitivity to ihem receives the 'Smiths treatment', something that yahoos like Oasis will hardly have to deal wilh. It also doesn't help lhat Rossiter comes off like Morrissey with even MORE of an attitude. After I softened Rossiter and very pleasant bassist Kevin Miles wilh toffee that I brought to our interview at their hotel lounge, I had to ask why style triumphs over substance in so many Brit bands, an observation lhat Rossiter agrees wilh. "I'm very reticent to simply discuss British bands per se, but you can run out of fingers and toes counting them, yes. I find it a bit worrying and perhaps it is a British disease, but I would say Quentin Tarantino is equally as guilty. Perhaps Menswear are the Tarantino of pop. It's very easy for a band to know ihe right people and hang out at the right places and look good and get a record deal before anyone's actually heard your mu- I remind ihem that we had the same phenomenon right here in our own backyard with the Seattle grunge fiasco. "And this is the problem," continues Rossiter, "when the music industry does descend upon one area. We almost have lhat inbuilt in London, and occasionally it moves to Manchester or Liverpool. It is ihe case lhat you can play three shows, and by ihe fourlh, ihe plague of music industry swine will descend upon you and the pestilence soon follows. It is an ill of being a small country." Rossiter has said that his lyrics tend to be positive; if this is true, why do people die in such appalling nt^bers in Gene songs? He chuckles and defends himself: "Well, one can take the positive from that. All that I've ever said is that, apart from "London, Can You Wait?", there is at least a current of optimism [in my songs]. I simply want ihem to be realistic and, of course, they reflect me and perhaps I'm a little over optimistic. I've always been fairly positive. I've always expected things to turn out right, almost in some naive way. The old cliche - 'what goes around, comes around'. I don't actually believe it, but a lot of me would like to and that comes out in the songs." "Both of us are quite political people," adds Miles "we're both members of the Labour Parly. We do believe things can change. As people, we don't sit around and wallow in our self-pity...not of- People don't get the humour in Morrissey's (or Gene's) lyrics; they complain about his moaning without seeing that it's perfectly hilarious. "No, certainly, ihey don't," says Rossiter, "but this is a boll and chain that's becoming smaller every day. Either lhat, or my legs are getting stronger!" I mention the headline trumpeted on the ads for the Gene show - "Voted Best Band in Britain" - and how leery Norlh Americans are about that label. They both groan at the ad. "It's strange. I think it's a parallel with the whole Smiths thing we had in Britain," explains Rossiter. "I think it might work in our favour, in lhat a lot of people in Britain turned up at our shows almost ready to draw the knives, to bury us. If we're good enough, we'll survive that. It's as simple as lhat. If it gets people to the show, we'll win, I know we'll "Also, on the positive side of winning the poll or whatever," elaborates Miles, " is lhat it gives us the opportunity to come over here." Rossiter and Miles liked the fact that admission to their (July 20) show was a donation to the Food Bank. I was surprised to hear that there don't seem to be food banks in England, because, occording Miles, "we've all become greedy bastards in Britain. We've become a nation of 'we're all right, Jack's'." . Rossiter lays the blame on Thatcher's doorstep. "I'm 25 now and I was 9 when she came in, and reading between the lines of the government's policies, there was a politic of self and that's affected my generation. Somebody of my age, iheir parents voted Tory and they had their reasons for voting Tory, and it's 'I don't want to pay taxes and I'm not particularly concerned with the welfare state.' That does influence our age group and there's, a wave isn't rhe word, it's a torrent of apathy, of selfishness, and a complete lack of interest in party politics, to a frightening level. Obviously, I can't say for certain, but I think it'd be a fair bet lhat out of every major Western European country, we have probably the most ill educated electorate. And that scares me." I explain Western Canada's alienation from Ottawa and the rise of the Right, aka the Reform Parly, here. "The Right always rises in sociological and economic lows," says Rossiter. "It's been documented throughout history." You can certainly understand how Hitler got into power. "You can certainly intelleclu- alize and rationalize why it happened," Rossiter agrees. "If plays on the national psychology and it plays on the psychology of self. It attempts to give people a purpose; it's a false purpose and an attempt to unify, but, again, the purpose is a false one and it causes hate." Both men are hopeful that the Labour Parly will win the next election because the despised John Major has stayed on as head of ihe Tory Parly and things such as hospital bed shortages are starting to affect ihe person in the street. They feel ihe Labour parly has modified itself enough to be 'electable'. Maybe a change of government will help stem the violence lhat Miles says is overtaking Britain. "Men can't walk down the street at two in the morning, never mind women; we're not up to the gun level of the States, but it's going that way." I mention the "Sleep Well Tonight" video, which features rowdy night life in the Kingston area of London. Rossiter was present during the filming of the documentary footage and he found the experience scary, especially the gang fights in the middle of the street. The feeling of boredom lhat the kids in the video have is almost palatable. Miles elaborates: "Both Martin and I are not from London originally, and that is the norm there. Friday and Saturday night, the blokes go out and have a good drink and have a fight; it happens every weekend." Rossiter backtracks to the video: "I remember overhearing one little snippet of conversation between this group of lads and all I heard was the answer to a question: 'No, let's not fight now, let's have a drink first.' It's lhat much the norm, you simply go out to fight... London is the mecca for the weird and wonderful. It's a multi-everything city, and in most areas you can be anything you want to be, which is quite refreshing." Having grown up in Northern England, Miles is aware of the 'quit school at 16, marry at 21, kids at 22, football on the weekend' syndrome. Rossiter says they're not mocking it, but it's something everyone wants to escape, except that most people don't get the chance. Miles feels "thaiyou can also do things without doing them for a living; you can be in an amateur theatrics society." "Or a pottery club," quips Rossiter. "Just because you can't be a professional musician," adds Miles, "doesn't give you the excuse to beat someone's brains out on a Saturday night."

Waller: I guess since last we spoke we probably toured a couple more times. We started making our album and as soon as we were finished we started touring again. We just haven't gotten up to this part of the country. But we're glad lhat we did finally. Why has it been such a long time between albums? I guess it has been. Well, between the first EP and ihe album there was a bit of a long wait. We were kind of lazy and playing around. We were just more hobby oriented with the group and we weren't super going after it. In between the last two albums we toured so much, probably like a good solid year, and changed, and ihen we had to record the album. How involved are you with CIV? They've all been my friends forever. Since the inception I've been really involved. You produced their album. Set Your Goals, and I heard you wrote on it as well? I helped in some writing, yeah. I was in the Gorilla Biscuits wilh Civ (singer of CIV); we've known each olher forever. And the olher guys in the band are really close friends of mine. In my free time I produced iheir firs! single and the album. So you haven't really had any time off? No, we haven't broke at all, even with making Manic Compression. If I had a spare two hours I would go work on the CIV thing. It wasn't like I had a lot of free time. I spent practically all of last summer indoors. Could you list the bands you -were in before Quicksand? I was in Gorilla Biscuits and Youlh of Today. Alan and Tom were in Beyond and Sergio played in a band colled Collapse, and he also played in Absolution. We all had some involvement in hardcore. Do you look back and feel good about the music you've done? Yeah. I mean, I'm not so interested in the past because I think thai whal we are doing now is so different from lhat. I think it's almost like a different interview. I'm sure people like to ask Henry Rollins about Black Flag. But lam super into what I've done. I ihink I've done quality stuff when I've had the chance. How did Quicksand's sound come about? It's so unique, as though you are trying to do something different. You answered your own question. We were all in a scene where the bands sounded a lot alike, which can be a super cool thing, and was, but it was all getting boring. When we put the band together we said, 'OK, we're sick of the same old thing, let's do something different.' The way you phrase your vocals is so cool but so hard. It's like, 'How the hell is he singing like that and playing?1 Thanks. Yeah, wilh the old album I had to super practice with the guitar ond get one syllable out at a time. I would write the lyrics after the music, bul now I'm more inlo writing the lyrics while I'm playing guitar, so it's easier for me to sing them. The way I phrase things, I like to wor*k with rhythms and dynamics. Your lyrics seem personal. It's all drawing from real things, so in lhat sense it's personal, but I ihink it's applicable to anybody, I hope. I hope lhat people can derive their meaning from it as if appli their own lives. What about the i "Delusional"? I ihink it comes from people that everyone knows. People that are so interested in giving you their bi- ' ography and trying to sell you on how cool they are when ihey meet you. And it's like, 'Let f|_||p about InemseK How do you think Manic Compression is different than the last record? I think it's more abrasive and more straightforward in certain respects. I think it's just more in your face lhan the last record. For some people that's better and for some people that's worse, but that's what we wanted to do - make something new. You've worked with Don Fury in the past and he produced half of your latest album. Tell us about making Manic Compression. Yeah, Don's cool to work wilh, and we worked with Wharton Tiers as well. We made [Manic Compressions] at a bunch of different studios. Even ihough we wanted to do this straightforward thing, it didn't turn out to be made that way in some respects. The Fury sessions were all done two weeks prior to when we had to deliver the record. We spent almost five months putting together one side and the other side took two weeks. It was a really weird way to record. The Warped Tour must have been a blast! Who's idea was it? Kenn Lyman is the guy who really put this together. I think it was his idea originally and a lot of olher people got involved, including ihe sponsors. I guess ihe idea is to break something new in. I think it's really cool now 'cause I like every single band. These are the best live bands to see. At different junctures we've had different line-ups, but it was all just amazing. The idea of combining the skaters, BMX riders etc., and music is so great. Yeah. We could just have a bunch of bands go out and tour together but there has to be something more than that. I think the marriage of the skating and wall climbing and all lhal wilh thi music is such a good one. If you watch any ol the [snowboarding/skoting] videos, it's these bands lhat are playing in them, so it's an actual meeting of two lifestyles. Are you having a great time? Super fun. I play for half an hour and I have ihe rest of ihe day to hang out with people 1 meet at the show, and pretty much my best friends. I know everybody on ihe tour, practically, and I've made a lot of new friends. I'm so psyched lhat there is an amusement park here! (At this point I shared my horror story about the ride The Zipper and how my friends gothuHed across the grounds when their car became dislodged from the ride. They didn 't die, but needless to say, they don't go on rides anymore.) Oh my god. Well there you go! You can't die on ihe Zipper, you can only get thrown. I almost hope I get thrown. I'll still be alive and I'll have a great story. 0 - guitar, vocals Jonny Donhowe - bass Miles Never Sick Gillette - drum: DiSCORDER: How did Fluf hook up wil Warped Tour? O: When they first thought of the idea, which^, a long time ago, we did this big ass show in L.A. called Board in L.A. There were, like, sixteen bands in one day. And since me and Jonny both work at a skateboard magazine, they asked us, 'cause we're inlo the scene wilh all the skaters and stuff. What skate magazines do you work at? O: Warped. And Jonny works at TransWorld, t< How long has Fluf been together? O: Three years now? Since 1992. Before that me and Jonny were in Olivelawn and Miles was in a few olher assorted bands. Miles: I was in New Zealand, actually, and O kept calling me, convincing me that Fluf was his next project and lhal I was perfect for it. I didn't take him very seriously.

O: Then Jonny goto job at TransWorld. He worked there for about five years before he started doing what he's doing now. He's the photo editor now. The general boss of Warped pretty much. Jonny: I'm the one who takes all the cigarette breaks. O: And Miles worked at various head shops in Orange County (much laughter). Actually, it was Pier Records and in the back they had a head shop. That was always Miles' favourite department, he was always back there. What was it you had to say? Miles: Water pipe. O: If you said 'bong' they'd have to make you leave. Whereas here if you say 'bong' you get one. How did you get into music? O: I was always a groupie and I wanted to be a roadie, but no one would ever let me, so I had to get in a band so I could be a roadie. Miles: I was just born into it. My father's a musician, my whole family... O: Come on, his name is Miles - that's a m Jonny: The reason I got into music is I didn't knc Go for it. O: We usually make ihree different versions of our record and make three different names for ihem. They're usually vinyl, CD and tape, but ihey all have different names. That first set was called Mangravy, Wasting Seed and Shooting Putty ot the Moon. If you put ihem all together you can understand what it is. It's the three series of beatoff records. That's beautiful. I get it now. O: The new one was going to be about shit, but it never worked out. It was going to be Stretching the Texas Donut, Stocking the Lake with Brown Trout and Docking a Sub, but it didn't turn out lhat way. Instead it was Home Improvements because I saw it at a thrift store and thought, 'Oh, that's rod.' I can't hear this. Jonny: Come on. You've gol tattoos. You're 'core'. Okay, yeah. I'm hard. I can take it. Why do you give your CDs, vinyl and cassettes different names? Jonny: 'Cause when we do it we can never decide on ihe artwork. O loves doing the artwork and we have, like, twelve different ideas. It's fun and we get to confuse people. This tour must be great for you since you're so involved with skate magazines. O: Yeah. We know all the skaters on our bus, and every bond we know really well. All the skaters are on the bus with us which is really cool. Done any skating yourselves? O: We rode the ramp a couple of times. I rode the ramp in Texas when I didn't want to lose any weight. Here it's nice and air conditioned, but everywhere we've been to so far, it's been like, 120 degrees. This is the total Jenny Craig Tour. It's like, Jenny Craig will send you on ihe Warped Tour. But we didn't lose any weight. All we did was cry and go back on the bus and then go to catering every five minutes and eat and eat and eat. So you've got a new album coming out. When? O: September 25th, I think. It's called The Classic Years. It's all the singles, plus four songs never released, and the Nirvana rip-off one. You know lhat song, "She Should Have Been a S??"? It sounds exactly like lhat, so be prepared. That's why t. Ther how to play an instrument and I decided I wanted to pose wilh a guitar and get free Converse. Do you guys consider yourselves socially or politically aware? O: I leave that stuff up to other people. If you ask my opinion I'll definitely voice it, but I don't go around telling people. Jonny: I like to be politically aware. Is it in the music you write? O: Sometimes it is. Like "Ten Times This", which means ten times shittier than it is now if people don't start paying attention. Some songs are like lhat, but mostly it's just stupid songs wilh stupid lyrics. There's nothing speciol - anyone else could do it. What is 'Mangravy'? O: You want me to tell you? You're gonna be scared when I tell you this. song we ever wrote. It's about Mike Olsen (Olivelawn) called, "Rod Whittling". Oh, here -we go again. There's a theme here. I think I know the philosophy behind Fluf. O: Just a silly piece of cheese, that's all the id is. There's no rock stardom or anything like that. Just a few jerks who^vant to have fun. DiSCORDER: Is UUAWUl your firsr album? Axel: No, not at all! \^'ve already released two other albums and we've got a brand new one coming out right now in Germany. We've also got lots of singles, compilations, and maxi [singles]! Have you had any North American distribution prior to signing to Fat Wreck Chords? No, because we are a German band and we sing mostly in German. It's not usual for German bands to get North American dishi- bution. We've been around for about ten years and we're pretty popular in Germany. It was a big surprise lhal someone wanted to release us here. Especially when this someone was Fat Mike from NOFX! Did your popularity increase in Germany when you got signed to Fat Wreck Chords? No. We have our own label that we have our own stuff out on in Germany and this Fat deal is only for the rest of the world, not Germany. This UUARGHI album lhatyou know was released jajj-amtonw one year ago and has 1 3; that's all that Fat Mike wanted! Are albums longer In Germany? Yeah. It's our philosophy to put more music on a CD because we don't have much control of ihe prices of CDs in the record store. Punk rock albums are sold at the some price as the new Michael Jackson album (about 20DM). Even if we sell it cheaper to the distributor, the record store will still mark it up and make even more profit. What do you sing about? Most of our lyftcs are political. German punk rock is a really political thing, you know. Jf you dye your hair red, like mflik this is instantly id political statement in Germany. We've got so many conservatives and neo-Nazis and all lhat crap over there lhat because I mal e'jttgh a aptement I matically an enem) dFlwJf^MrAost German bonds sing about politics The few liat only sing about getting wasted, gks, or love,|pren't taken c ously. It's a lot dijtyent fror American? German? We're coming from the German punk rock of the early 80s, 'Deutschpunk'. There were some really cool bands out then. I've always been a big fan of California hardcore, as well. I also listen to some weird stuff-1 got the new Tom Jones album! As long as it's got good melodies, that's what's important. You can't listen to punk rock all the time, it makes you sickl Jackson, how long have you been with No Use For a Name? Jake: Three or four months. What were you doing before? Jake: I worked at Fat Wreck Chords. Tony: That's why it was so easy to find him. The first thing we did when we lost our last guitarist was coll the label. Mike had just hired this guy who played guitar. •'■ .skind | of bum NO USE FOR A NAME :als & guitar * Jake - fresh ie drummer DiSCORDER: Why is your latest release (on Fat Wreck Chords) entitled leche Con Carne? Tony: On our first U.S. tour last year we were saying the stupidest things in Spanish lhat we could possibly think up. Everyone was chipping in wilh what little Spanish ihey knew. When we couldn't come up wilh a name for the album, one of the stupid sayings, 'Leche Con Came', came up. We all thought it was kind of cool. It sounds like the name of a Police album or something. Why have you gone through sue guitarists since forming in 1987? Tony: I don't know, it's some weird Spinal Tap thing like they had with their drummers! THE BMX'ERS WERE ABSENT Don't Miss the Train, prior to signing -with Fat. Also, The Dairy Grind, the album just before Leche Con Carne. How has your sound changed since '87? Tony: It's definitely changed a lot if you listen to one of our old 7 inches and then to ihe newest album. There's a progression of writing influences from when I first got in the band. It had a much harder edge, and Chris Dodge, the vocalist then, used to just yell. I sing more than yell, so when I was forced to sing with the band because we couldn't find a replacement (when Chris left), I did more melody lines and mixing of the hardcore music. What's next for No Use For a Name after the Warped Tour ends? Tony: Going home to play some shows around California. Take a little break and start writing some new material. We'll hopefully have a new album out by next summer sometime. Any plans to play Vancouver? Tony: We'd like to follow up ihis show. We've never played here before. It'll be weird to be see if anybody like us here.

All over this disintegrating country, the bright and shining hope for the future is collectively wondering about the utility of slogging through Joseph Conrad and Henry James, when all we really want to do is get a job that allows us to smoke the pot to which we have become accustomed. September, the great literary prison-ship of months. Isn't it strange how self-important you start to sound when somebody gives you a column in a magazine? This is what keeps going through my mind as I sit behind a borrowed computer in the wee hours of the morning, pounding my monthly quota of cud. The fear of sounding pretentious arises partially from being re-immersed in school - nothing like spending a few hours in Heart of Darkness to give your writing an English accent. This month's column is also a slow moving target for ridicule because of its broad focus: to Ihis point the pieces I've paid Discorder to print have ali arisen from reading bits of local writing; this month's ramble grows out of a question that started nagging at me in late August, and stayed wilh me as I gamboled through September. Lost month I found myself going to lots of things, a lot of theatre (The Fringe was in my neighbourhood this year) and an uncharacteristic number of poetry readings. As I've mentioned elsewhere, an acute memory of my own poetic pretensions makes me impatient of poetry readings. Too often I've found myself trapped in a too-hot room, getting a headache trying to de-cypher the murk lhat some poor tor- lured soul is scraping from his diseased scalp, sucking self-obsorb- edly from her fingernails, bestowing upon us (the listeners) in a Rne mist of unhealthy spittle. Too often, and for too long, I have held my pee so as not to disrupt such abuse. And as I mop the moist, poetic residues (which for some reason always smell vaguely like old cheese) off my face, I can't help but wonder, 'who cares?' Does anybody give a good Goddomn lhat some sensitive neurotic has been bruised by the world and feels compelled to complain about it in obscure terms? Or worse still, to tell us how especially connected he feels to all those who suffer in Bosnia? An acerbic and contentedly philisline friend of mine maintains that the only people who attend poetry readings are poets waiting to read, poets hoping they'll be asked to read, wannabe poets, and that sad creature often found grazing in the black'n'polyester aisles of Value Village, ihe poetry groupie. Though of the same genus at the rock'n'roll groupie, and thus many a Discorder reader, the poetic species is at once more pathetic and more arrogant than its musicol cousin, because it tends to view itself as intellectually superior to the average Green Day fan. But then, perhaps I've just attended too many readings of bad poetry. Another friend of mine, a former organizer of the Vancouver Writer's (and Readers) Festivol, tells me that the most consistently popular show at the Writer's Fest is the gala poetry reading. 'So much for your premise,' she smirks, 'that people don't like poetry.' On the other hand, I once asked another friend of mine (one who happens to have a slim volume of poetry under his belt) who his favourite Canadian poet was these days. He responded, 'I don't have one.' Why not? 'Because all the best poetry being written is cropping up in fiction these days.' He had a bios, of course, since he was writing short stories himself by this point. Picking up this column has made the issue relevant for me again - it's hard to be fair in your review of a poetry collection if you don't believe in the form - which is why I found my way back to the too-hot rooms. I attended a benefit for the Small Press Action Alliance (or some such) at the Glass Slipper that was emblematic of the sort of mixed-feelings that poetry readings arouse in people. Aside from a good-natured, if half-wilted, heckler who strolled in half-way through, I was probably the most hostile element in the house, simply by virtue of the coil notebook lhat I was trying to conceal behind a pint of Pale Ale - my need to take notes demanded lhat I prop myself close to a source of light and alcohol. Though I was unable to determine how much of the house fell into the 'poetwaiting-tofead,' 'poet-wanting-to- read,' and 'wannabe' categories, I did notice a number of earnest- looking young men in the crowd, generally spending more time reading their own type-script than listening to the advertised readers. I later realized lhat these fellows were jostling for the privilege to fill up the dead stage time after the headliners had read their piece; it strikes me now that this is one of several things making poetry readings different from concerts. In the latter you put the young blood on stage first to 'warm up the crowd,' the implication being that energy levels actually increase with the number of intoxicants consumed. At a poetry reading like this one, the (entirely correct) assumption is lhal the listener's attention-span, not to mention patience, is a non-renewable resource. So you've got to get the heavyJiitters up there early, before the Pale Ale and Cote de Prince Rupert drown out the sensitive dear introspections being recounted on the stage (actually this is less of a problem at the Slipper, where people retreat to the smoking balcony with their beers). I assume those earnest-looking fellows ended up reading to themselves: I didn't hang around long enough to see for The slate of scheduled readers was as interesting as their styles ore varied: George Bowering, George Stanley, Jamie Reid, and Sherr'i- D Wilson. On the whole, it was as interesting to watch their 'performance styles' as it was to listen to their words, sometimes more interesting. Bowering, being given the choice cuts of the audience's attention span, took the classic pose of the reading poet - he sat down and read, deliberately pacing himself so lhat his dense imagery would hove o chance to soak into the audience's grey matter. George Stanley, standing, seemed slightly less self-assured in the pose Bowering had assumed, and after reading a couple of poems straight, made an effort to perform his more dramatic poems. Since his stuff is evocative and often quite funny, this approach worked pretty well, though there wos no question that Stanley's poetry exists principally on the page and not in performance. I did not find Jamie Reid's journalistic, politically-driven poems particularly interesting to listen lo, and he was the most disorganized and visibly nervous of the readers. Sherri-D Wilson closed the 'scheduled poetry segment' of the evening with all the wit, humour, and aplomb that Vancouver audiences are coming to expect from her. Not unexpectedly, Wilson's performance aroused the greatest audience response, so much so that it seemed the audience felt entertained for the first time all evening. And lhat, as much as anything, provoked the nagging question, and this month's column. When there was a lag in the action on stage, I walked up to Sherri Wilson, intending to ask her a couple of polite questions about how Swerve was being reviewed (if it was being reviewed at all might have been a more appropriate question). After a few minutes though, I found myself asking one of those less polite questions. 'So Sherri,' I asked, 'what's it for, anyway?' She looked perplexed. "What's what for?' 'Poetry. What's poetry for?' 'I beg your pardon?' I decided I was being vague, so I started over. 'Well, you've done tons of performance, you've had a mixed book of performance pieces and poetry published, and now you're about to release a book of straight poetry. You know how much audiences prefer performance to poetry. So what's poetry for, anyhow?' 'Well,' she said, 'as you may know, for a lot of poets, their work is meant to be read on ihe page. For me poetry is oral (or she might have said 'aural'). That's why I'm really looking forward to the chance to do a CD.' Then she gave me a piece of gum. Looking back on the incident, I think it's to Wilson's credit lhat she made an effort to answer such a stupid question al all; there's a reason they don't let me do interviews around here, I thought, as I stuffed ihe gum into my mouth. But my problem with spoken word versus written word didn't go away. Perhaps it was because a couple of people, after having read one of my reviews ('You read one of my reviews?'), commented that I wasn't equipped to pass judgment on a particular writer until I'd seen him perform. IT WAS AROUND THIS TIME THAT I DECIDED I WOULD TAKE A look at the latest offering from Insomniac Press, an anthology of Canadian poetry from younger writers edited by Michael Holmes, called The Last Word. I settled on this collection specifically because I'd already heard some of its contributors read when the book was launched at Black Sheep Books in late August. On that warm evening we heard from Calriona Strang, Nancy Shaw, Michael Turner, Judy Radul, and Neil Eustache - perhaps the best-known local contributor to the collection, Evelyn Lau, was absent. Calriona Strang's material, much of which seemed to be excerpts from a work called 'Low Fancy,' had a certain Beat-ish quality to it - which was accentuated by the jazz improvisations of her accompanist, Francois Houle. At the time I scribbled something about how well the duo worked together, and wondered if the words work as well on the page by themselves. The only olher writer to read from material in The Last Word was Neil Eustache, who was as studiously un-stylish in his performance as Strang was stylised; he didn't actually read to the audience, but to the front row, and only after no one else would volunteer to read his stuff for him. Nancy Shaw's offering was a number of historically-based poems, on either ihe IWW or the CCF. Judy Radul didn't read any of her own work, but an extract of an interview wilh some starlet in hAlrabella, read in the style oi poetry, if you like. Michael Turner, whose pieces in The lost Word" ore taken from his collection Company Town, chose to read from the galleys of his upcoming collection Kingsway. Of these three I found Shaw's work least engaging, less engaging than the material she'd published in the anthology, in fact. Radul's reading was the most entertaining, but it obviously told me the least about her poetry. Turner's work, fast-paced and studded wilh subtle image and wit, seemed well suited to his straight-ahead, fuck-you-too reading style. Reading the Introduction to The Last Word was a little like de/'o w far me. Michael Holmes fronts a certain street-wise scepticism that I don't remember from my earliest experiences wilh young poets and editors of poetry anthologies. It is a scepticism lhat he especially directs against the 'general tendency to prioritize and celebrate the magician's palter and the pyrotechnics of performance over anything lhat could be described as... innovative... poetry.' He is, in short, very suspicious of the trendiness of 'spoken word,' and draws a distinction between the critically barren majority who practice this form and (he poets in his collection, whose 'poetry "works" because of- not despite - the words printed on the page.' Empathy with the editor aside, reading the work of the Vancouver contributors to the collection more or less confirmed my suspicions as to what I would find. Much of the energetic effect lhat Calriona Strang generated in ihe performance of her work does not Iranslate to text; the allowances lhat the brain makes for the musical possibilities of language is lost in the type-script, and a stubborn brain insists on trying to ferret sense out of words lhat seem to be operating at the level of musical notes. Headaches ensue. Neil Eustache's two poems show a lot of technical potential, but on the page they mostly radiate attitude. Attitude, albeit with a sense of humour, is also prominent in the extract from Judy Radul's 'Character Weakness'; the non-sequitur of images in this piece have the same effect upon me as Strang's work. Of the people who I heard at the Black Sheep reading, the poetry of Nancy Shaw and Michael Turner does the most to satisfy my own obscure standards for innovative and interesting poetry. Though their styles are ouite different, their imagery and rhetorical stances effectively extend and deepen the meaning of their poems rather than confounding it. But there is much more poetry in this collection than that of these five writers, and the variety of poetic styles here virtually guarantees that something in The Last Word will satisfy your definition of poetry. I find some of this stuff quite stimulating (whether I would call all of it 'poetry' is another question), olher stuff I don't - I've never really gotten concrete poetry, for instance. As to the question that inspired this column, I could say lhat it wasn't answered by any of the poems in this anthology. But lhat would be a little pretentious. S^T. CLIP AND SAVE 20 % OSCAR'S!

She was responding to my first zine, Reclaiming My Name # /. Other than our zines, Andrea and I didn't know each olher, but her letter demonstrated to me ihe potential zines have to create a personal connection. Now, two months after Andrea and I traded zines, we've not only written letters, but have developed a friendship, and we are also going to be writing this column together. Andrea and I are jusl one example of ihe idea that zines enable us to form o community. The truly beautiful part about the zine scene is lhat it's not bosed on what bands you listen to, or your fashion choices. This community goes beyond the sometimes superficial reasons behind unity. We have the opportunity to relote to each other on a much more personal and real level. I think this kind of support for each olher can destroy feelings of segregation and loneliness. Like any community, this one requires effort. Don't jusl stop at reading zines. Write the person/people involved to make a writer/reader relationship. Both Andrea and I will attest that there is nothing better than getting personal mail. So offer feedback - both supportive ond constructively critical. If you or your friends write zines then send them to a zine distributor (there was a list of them in July's Discorder) and bring ihem to record stores, shows, and basically anywhere that will take them. Zine circulation equals communication, and communication is the key to fighting segregation ond building unity. By now some of you might be wondering who I am ond whal happened to Trish Kelly's / Can Read. Regrettably, I have to report lhat Trish won't be doing / Con Read anymore, but Andrea and I will try our best to fulfill all your zine needs. To properly introduce myself, my name is Amber Dawn.

In case we haven't met before, my name is Andrea and I'm a girl. After a year of involvement in fanzines they have become a major part of my life. I write and read fanzines, and many of my views today have been influenced by zines. I'll be up front and honest when I say lhat my tastes have become exclusive and that I tend to look for personal and political zines. I realize lhat everyone has different tastes, so I'll try to be fair in my reviews. Write me and ask me about my zines.

The Make Out Club # 4 (8.5 X 5.5; 26 pgs) Perhaps the only good thing about Trish not writing ihis column anymore is that now, finally, her own zine can be mentioned. M.O.C. #4 is very appropriately subtitled "Striving to be a Novel"; this is the most lengthy zine Trish has ever done and it addresses such a variety of issues that I think every intelligent zine reader could benefit from il. Included are two pieces you may have heard Trish do in spoken word performance: "Jool-ry Box" and "Pardon Me Boy", which confront the well hidden but still present misogyny she encounters in her environment. Trish has also focused on her personal recovery from her family programming, recognizing how abusive patterns get passed from generation to generation. She has risked exposing her family's shameful secrets and her own shame in this zine, and has taken a good, hard look at how children (of any age) are affected by their parents. Reading M.O.C. # 4 inspired me to question ond try to improve myself and my environment. Send $1 plus stamps to: M.O.C. Box 33-345 E. Broadway, Vancouver, BC, V5T 1W5. Nothing #7 (8.5 x 5.5; 8 pgs) Personal zines written by boys are always a treat for me, especially as I've been feeling disconnected from the opposite sex lately. If there was one word to describe Tre's zine, it would be emo. An old pen-pal recommended lhat I get this zine because it was so poetic and personal; he was shocked lhat it was done by a boy. This zine is about not being satisfied wilh who and what you are: "Trying to figure out what is going to give me that warm feeling inside lhat will last and I've tried to go beyond 'finding the right person' and look into something deeper." The photographs of live hardcore bands seem to go hand in hand wilh Tre's frustration and disappointments - it always amazes me what can be done with the layout of a zine. Send $1 U.S. to: Tre McCarthy, 20 Gerald Road #2, Brighton, MA, , 02135, USA. Bark and Grass #2 (8.5 X 7; 64 pgs) Appropriately subtitled "Revolution Supper", this is a great recipe book for those of us who are learning how lo cook as well as educating our selves on veganism. There are del cious and easy recipes that even a kitchen misfit like me can prepare - I recommend the homous, vegetable chowder and soy pancakes. Also included are some tips on natural and non-toxic beauty and pest control products, and an excellent essay by Daisy Rooks on why feminism and animal rights are connected. She brings up the similarities between rape and pornography and the meat and dairy industries, as well as discussing the inherent sexism in identifying women wilh animal names. By calling a woman a bitch you are saying that she is both inferior and in- -gnizant, and denying her both her intelligence and her autonomy as a fully functioning being. Bark and Grass is a must-have for anyone lhat is vegan or thinking of becoming one. Send $2 US to Kim: P.O. Box 477469, Chicago, IL, 60647, USA. Cherry Drop (8.5 x 5.5; 20 pgs) Christina's evolution as a writer shows in Cherry Drop. She confronts herself and her past in order to grow and change. She writes about the strained relationship she has with her mother, learning to be compassionate, and her realization that she can't have intimacy and trust because of past sexual abuse. You always run the risk of facing disapproval and misunderstanding from your peers when writing a personal zine, but in ihe end it is always more rewarding than slicking wilh the safer, superficial topics lhal are Found in a majority of zines out there. This is definitely one of the better zines coming out of Vancouver. Send $1.50 to Christina: 3322 Caliente Place, Coquitlam, BC, V3E 2P9. Eightfold Path # 2 (8.5X5.5; 29 pgs) I've always felt lucky to be an only child, especially when listening to all my girlfriends complain about their nasty little brothers. If I had the chance to be a part of a sibling relationship, however, I'd want it to be just like that of Laura and Daryl Volcat, the authors of Eightfold Path. The fact lhat it is written by a brother and sister duo is not the only amazing thing about this zine; both Daryl and Laura are very strong, thoughtful writers with the ability to positively influence their readers. Yet their differences stop this zine from being repetitious, making it a very enjoyable read. Laura's writing varies from poetry to an informative piece about the claim that our former Lieutenant-Governor is a lesbian. Her topics range from oddities like Cow Pattie Bingo ("...as the name suggests, belting on which square a cow will shit in") to a powerful and important story of her own date rape. Daryl, in contrast, is political and opinionated, but rightfully so. His work involves a lot of research and dedication and includes mail interviews, one with prisoner Ron Campbell exposing prison life from the inside, ond ihe olher with Matt Wobensmilh of OutpunJc, a gay zine/record label. Daryl has also written an eye-opening piece about animal rights, a topic lhat many people are still ignorant of. In short, there's something for everyone - Eightfold Path is truly double the pleasure. (No address) Sandbox #7 (8.5 X 5.5; 1 8 pgs) I could read Sandbox # 7 over and over again and get something entirely new out of it each time. Elisa Rose has successfully written the first personal fanzine I have ever read wilh views that aren't imposing or offensive to anyone. She writes obout important matters such as the beauty myth, stereotypes, and social behaviors, and she lets her readers come to their own conclusions, something lhat I find is rare in zines. Sandbox # 7 made me think just as much, and maybe more, than many opinionated zines I've seen. Plus it indudes lots of Elisa's own illustrations and a recipe for a yummy chocolate dessert. You won't find that in every zine, so send her $ 1 plus postage to: 3-2666 Cambridge St, Vancouver, BC. Letters To Celebrities (7.5x4.5, 32 pgs) I had the opportunity to see my favourite heroine Nomy Lamm perform ihis zine as spoken word, and it was a powerful experience for me. Letters to Celebrities is a compilation of letters written by Nomy to various celebrities, ranging from Richie Rich to David Duke to the Thousand Pound Man. In each letter she makes the celebrity real and explains her connection to ihem. In her letter to Richie Rich, for example, she writes "you're like a superhero, only you don't have any powers. You just have money." Nomy also touches on fat hatred, rockstars wilh phallic guitars, and how abuse is romanticized. Everything she writes about is so important; if you or der this you'll understand why she is one of my favourite writers. Nomy verbalizes many of the words that I'm learning to speak. Send $2 American to: Nomy Lamm, 120 State N.E #1510, Olympia, WA, 98501 USA. Essence #12 (8.5 x 5.5; 36 pgs) Erin has moved to Ottawa to go to university, but before she left she put out one more issue of Essence . This zine (formerly known as Flush] was my first introduction to the zine community, and I feel like I have grown wilh it. Once a fun group zine, Essence is now more Erin's heart and feelings than anyone else's: "I offer up little pieces of myself as a trade. Sometimes I get nothing. Sometimes I get a friend, sometimes insults and harmful words. All I can do is Iry." Erin writes about daily life and the insecurities and beauty that go along with it, childhood memories, and learning to be alone. She is one of the old timers in Vancouver's zine community and her zine is worth checking out. Send a dollar to Erin c/o James, 403 Cornell Street, Ithaca, NY, 14850, USA. Pupil (5 X 5.5; 30 pgs) Pupil is the type of zine lhat disturbs you a little and makes you think a lot. Vol describes her anger and confusion towards her parents and her lower-class upbringing, admitting her desire to control and be controlled by people she's close to. She also explores the idea that escapism isn't only obtained through drugs, drinking, etc., but also by having a dysfunctional relationship or friendship, or through self-deceit. Reading Pupil may not have changed my life, but it definitely made me take a closer look at it. (No address) Rock Candy #3 (8.5 X 5.5; 36 pgs) "This zine is more feeling than thinking." Rock Candy is about communication and starting dialogue - dialogue which is relevant to the punk rock scene. Marie brings up a lot of important issues and I'm gonna try to give them justice. The three main points are: 1) The misogynist attitudes that we fight so hard against still occur in the punk rock community - what happens when the words "boyfriend" and "rapist" become interchangeable? 2) Class is a multi-generational thing that has everything to do with the way your parents raise you and the way you see yourself. 3) We need to find more meaningful ways to respond to each other's zines, beyond the usual generic, non- challenging reviews. Criticism=Growth. Rock Candy is brutally honest and will make you think, which is what most zine writers are trying to accomplish.

First, we bring you the cream of the Canadian crop, starting with Moncton, New Brunswick's Moonsocket. We all know that the members of Eric's Trip are incredibly productive, with side projects such as Broken Girl, Elevator to Hell and Purple Knight. Moonsocket is ET guitarist/vocalist Chris and he has contributed six songs of four-track bliss to his new Sub Pop single. The cover is unpretentious and continues the slacker trend of using scrapbook photographs, and the lyrical content can be easily deduced by reading the song titles, with names like "Accept Fear", "Somebody Else's Love", and "Trulh Becomes Lies". The music is pretty as can be, with medium tempo strummy guitar slylings and melodic solos. To top it all off, the record finishes in a locking groove of guitar feedback. (42 Madison Ave, Moncton, NB, El A 1R6) We have in our hands a limited edition Genius Records 7" from Jale, called Gold Leather with Heel Detail. Produced by Rick White (Eric's Trip), Joy Ferguson (Sloan), and Jale, this is a product of the magnificent Stereo Mountain (Studios?), where Eric's Trip and its various off shoots have recorded most of their material. The A-side, "Steppin' Out", is a catchy lo-fi pop number. The B-side is an alternate acoustic version of Dreamcake's "River", featuring Julie Dorion of Eric's Trip playing the scratchy bodran and Rick White on backup vocals, (c/o Colin Mackenzie, 1588 Granville, Halifax, NS, B3J 1X1) We're not trying to reinforce stereotypes or anything, but we've gotta say that those East Coasters have a knack for writing lo-fi slacker- esque pop tunes.

They didn't ... ■/■th much of an impression either way, neither good nor bad, but I look forward to sampling them again. Ticker Tape Parade played mostly as a duo of guitarists but sometimes as a Irio with drums. Additionally, they used an ancient tone generatorAeyboard on one particular song to play unison melo dies wilh the vocal and guitar parts. For its XTC-ish sounds, this may have been one of the most memorable songs I've heard from a new group (one lhat I haven't heard at leost) and I felt I had my money's worth there and then. The remainder of iheir songs were different - not bad or anything, but so dischordant lhat I'd need to hear them again to form more By now it was midnight, the were very Pavement-esque and, after seeing ihem, I'd say lhat the influence is definitely there. A four piece, Petrolia played music with guitar and vocal lines very reminiscent of everyone's favourite slacker-rockers. I quite enjoyed it, even though I was storting to fade - so much so that I didn't see Blaise Pascal.

I was going to say that if jungle is music for young black men on crack, as Malcolm MacLaren says, then industrial is music for young white m s going to say that industrial music has fallen victim to the very sounds that de- dustrial music was once poised to become the voice for young Generation X'ers everywhere, it has long since been surpassed by the double-headed dragon of Techno. I was going to say that industrial music, with the exception of Skinny Puppy, hasn'thadabitof new life breathed into it since Ministry's death-disco album, Psalm 69. I was going to say that Frontline Assembly will probably still be banging on pieces of metal with large sticks as if Test Department and SPK hadn't done it fifteen years ago.

Garth Giesbrecht 23 mg^m^ under rev EARTHUNG RADAR Earthllng Radar (Coorfempo/EMI) The term "trip hop" is admittedly a new calch-phrase for North America, conveniently labeling oil spacey/ombient rap and rap Irax without lyrics. You con probably guess that this definition is a bit loo wide, covering artists from Tricky, Massive Attack ond Portishead all the way to the Chemical Bros, and Depth Charge. Which genre is trip hop? Beots the hell out of me. There used lo be a term lo describe outfits like De La Soul and Baseheod: ambient rap. £ And that's what Eorthling ||&|v Radar is. It's not ambienl-^£. ■*. funk (ie. Ihe Wild Bunch) norltt| hyped-up hip-hop beats, nor *w-j even thumpy-like-house (ie. Depth Charge). It just IS. Enough of ihis - ER's better than Tricky as far as smoothness, but admittedly, none of the songs are poppy upon first listening. However, ihis is an advantage as it suits any mood. Believe it or not, the best peer for Eorthling is probably MC Solaar, (of course not in French). However, another possibility could be Portishead using a rapper instead of Beth Gibbons. Whatever description, this album is slick. Christian THE RIVERDALES The Riverdales (Lookoutl) It's really disappointing when you spend your hard-earned money on a musician you trust, only to find lhat they've lei you down. You feel ripped off. I recently experienced this when LA50? I purchased the debut release from the Riverdales, featuring three ex- members of the former Screeching Weasels. In , a recent interview with f MAXMJbrtKXXNROLL, \ ihe Riverdales stated that they wished to get awoy from playing pop punk. They have done anything but. This is mediocre pop music with less bar chords than the Ramones, and Ben Weasel's vocals sound very dull and uninspired. There are a few good songs, but it is not worth spending money on.

For those who have grown tired of grunge and power pop, try a megadose of Magnet.

It's one of those albums that makes you want to turn the volume up (especially if the numbers go all the way lo eleven), sil still for an hour or so with your ear an inch away from the speaker and just...nod. It's rat for forgetting those back-to- books blues, or just forgetting. Sophie Hamley GARBAGE ^g Garbage ^M (MCA) **** Garbage is a producer's band. Fortunately, that's not as bad as it sounds, since the producer in question is Mr. Butch Vig. This album is apparently the result of Mr. Vig's attempt to prove how incredibly hip ond with-it he is. So we find him taking the raw, distorted guitars and melodically angslful vocals that duces and saturating ihem with more innovative European styles, even using Scottish vocalist Shirley Manson to make it convincing. Garboge eager!/ prove their knowledge of trip-hop, dance, and industrial music without alienating a single member of iheir audience. The lyrics are typical God/sex angst ond are sung nicely, even if Monsan locks the conviction to achieve the simmering melancholy of, say, PJ. Harvey (imitated on "Fix Me Now"). This lock of sincerity is the only fault one can find with an album that is lislenable, hummable, and likable. Garbage has everything I like about modern music, but its complete lack of unpredictability keeps it from being more than just excellent producer's music. Barbara SICKO Laugh While You Can Monkey Boy (eMpTy Records) This is a wonderful pop record suffering from a number of annoying ■ ■^ .a. 1) Inexcusably stupid song Jj&F^ ,il,es W^ ("Johnny be notsogood", "The Juice is Loose"). 2) A song ond a half about O. J. Simpson. 3) The existence of 'hidden tracks' (grrrr, just ask me lo whine about hidden tracks). 4) It's not long enoughl That said, the first three tracks are perfect pop-punk bliss, and the rest of the album is damn good too. The lyrics range successfully from suitably thoughtful to outright campy, even straying lo painful introspection. To sum it up, they're like cub bul faster, and they're boys. SIANSPHERIC Somnium (Sonic Unyon) I really enjoyed the debut from this Hamilton band. Filled with slow, brooding, reverb-drenched and ef- fectsladen songs, Sianspheric have included len tracks, many of them around six minutes in length, lo fill up what will be an oft-listened-to CD at my house. There's nothing to suggest energy or excitement from Somnium ■ t truly lives up to its name and provides for moody listening pleasures that fall somewhere to the side of the Cure without all the melancholy and at half the speed. I suppose there's a downside when the songs all sound like they could be different parts of the same piece of music. Well, that's what I thought after only a Few listens at least. Somnium could be described as one long playing song unlo itself with the occasional break, and maybe it's best described that way. So, the summary: Sianspheric's Somnium sure is swell.

The trio's album, Somebody Spoke, is a satisfying collection of intimate, lo-fi pop songs, very reminiscent of some of their better known Eastern counterparts. The guitar work is simple, and many of the songs feature » soft, sensitive vocals which I give the album lhal toned down, basement recording feel. The melodies are subtle id it took me a few listens to fully gel inlo ihem, but tracks like "New Wave" or "Your Sunshine" quickly become humalong standouts.

URGE OVERKILL Exit the Dragon (DGC) Chicago's Urge Overkill is a band that, unfortunately, seems lo be better known for wearing medallioi band sing, ond their complimentary vocal harmonies work really well. But don'l get me wrong; beneath this jangly sweet exterior are a lot of rougher edges, and the majority of the songs are about really crappy events. "Miss you ", for example, describes the feelings of re- morse when someone passes , <- ~ away, while "Dirty" AA and "Solid & See ^^ Through" delve into the realm of bod relationships. I'll spare you an analysis of these songs' lyrics - not only would I not do a good job, but I believe that the lyrics speak for themselves. grahame quan stupid outfil other music, which in my hu ion should always be paramount. Exit the Dragon is ihe follow-up to Saturation, and features the same production team. The Butcher Bros. (Cypress Hill), who made that album one of the greatest sounding records of all time. The production on the new CD, while somewhat similar lo lhat of the earlier album, seems to lack something which I can't quite identify. As for the songs themselves, half of ihem bore me ■ death while the remainder of the tunes, such as the re ■.nlhem-like songs "The Break", "This Place", and "Take Me", are fantastic. There are definitely some really great tunes on ihis CD - you'll just have lo sift through the dull ones to gel to them. Fred derF THE BOO RADLEYS Wake Upl (Columbia) On past efforts, Brit-quartet the Boo Radleys essentially relied on guitars to drive their music. And while gui- the addition of horns has made for a breezier sound on their latest release, Wake Upl. Chock-full of glimmering hooks that give a nod to XTC and the early Kinks, Wake Upl opens on a deceptively radiant note wilh the sticky confection of "Wake Up Boo" and "It's Lulu". Martin Carr's lyrics, however, display a dollop of healthy skepticism that The'l have consistently put good albums, but with Wake Upl they've added a new dimension by introducing a brass section, taking thai great leap forward inlo pop paradise. Pieter Hofmann DANCE HALL CRASHERS Lockjaw (N/A) My initial response to this CD was not a pleasant one. I found it lo be quite 'power pop', lacking the ska influence which was one of ihe best qualities of this band on previous releases. Every track has a very similar sound, with heavy guitar riffs overpowering any hint of ska. I also found that the guitar gave no jus- lice to the amazing female vocalists of this band, although you could still recognize their talent. The lyrics aren't quite so man-hating and full of love angst as in the past, but they are still politically witty and well written. I guess all bands must change loin order lo progress, I jusl don't know what direction is next for the Dance Hall Crashers. If they want success, their current direction must be the right one - they have a single coming out on the soundtrack lo a new movie, Angus. But I have lo admit that I am disappointed wilh this band. I think they sound much better as a ska band with great female vocals and greal horns instead of this girlie-guitar-power pop-ie band they've become. Lockjaw is illy not that ba<' lulie Matson CIRCLE JERKS Oddities, Abnormalities, A Curiosities (Mercury Records) When I was cool, back in the early/ mid '80s, the Circle Jerks were my fave punk band.

Venus F. KELLY JOE PHELPS Lead Me On (True North/MCA) From the bayous of Portland, Oregon comes while bluesman Kelly Joe Phelps with his debut album, Lead Me On. Phelps shows a surprising maturity and a good grasp of country blues on this disc, offering an excellent introduction lo the new breed of acoustic blues musicians. Playing only acoustic and lap top slide guitar, he goes on a laidback excursion into gospel and country blues, combining his soulful voice with crystalline guitar work. And the production is greot, allowing the guitar strings lo slide sweetly from your speakers. Kelly Joe Phelps combines simplicity and honesty on his debut, with sublime results. Top-notch. Pieter Hofmann DRIVIN' N' CRYIN' Wrapped in Sky (DGC) A few years ago I somehow acquired a Drivin' n' Cryin' cassette :alled Fly Me Courageous. I was expecting to hear some blues-type band, but they sounded more like a cross between AC/DC and Blue Rodeo: heavyish, riffy, big rock lunes wilh a bit of a country twang. Surprisingly, I liked il. A couple of albums later, Georgia's Drivin' n' Cryin' have released Wrapped in Sky, produced by John Porter (The Smiths, Velocity Girl). I was curious to hear what Ihey were up lo. Well, they've lost the.AC/DC-like edge which made their sound unique, leaving them sounding like a run of the mill, pseudo-folky band like the Skydiggers or something. Fred derF SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE SKIDS Dirt Track Date (DGC) In my mind, nothing goes belter than some fuzzy, distorted garage rawk and gasoline. (My preference being motorcydes, but I'm not so picky as to exclude four wheel iron.) So when I heard the four minute plus dirt track racing segment which closes off the latest Southern Culture On The Skids album, Dirt Track Date, I figured this might be an album that I'd enjoy. I haven't heard a lot of Skids, and most of whal I've heard was more instrumental in nature. This album, however, has only a few instrumentals, the rest, of course, being accompanied by vocals. [Thanks for clearing that up daddy-o. ed) Dirt Track Dote is not so much a greasy, dirty garage album, but more of a southern/western, dusty, smoky rowk release. It may not be what I had expected, but it's not something I'm disappointed with either.

Along with the Modernettes, there are also releases by the Young Canodians and the Pointed Sticks.

VARIOUS ARTISTS Half-Cocked Soundtrack (Matador) Do you think Ted Turner likes indie rock? He's now a major part of the conglomerate centered around Time/Warner, which is itself a primary stakeholder in Matador Records. Ted bought in because he likes mixing entertainment mediums together • sports and television, movies and music, elc, etc. Well, I doubt he had anything to do with this, but that fine pseudo-indie lo- bel Matador has now taken the music of great bands like Versus, Polvo, Helium, The Grifters, Slant 6 and Unwound to complement the film Half-Cocked. Most of the music on this soundly track has been released before, |j|k so il comes across as if it were SSHl a mix tape someone left lying ' ' around for you lo hear. It's " f hard lo determine if the movie exists al all - the liner notes give brief write-ups on the bands, but make no mention of the film whatsoever. Musically it's a really good compilation, and it should give some great exposure to other bands you haven't necessarily heard of, like Big Heifer, Ruby Falls, and Truckstop (all of which can loosely be described as foiling into ihe indie-rock genre). With little awareness of the movie itself, it was hard for me to judge how good this CD is as a companion to the film. But don't let that stop you from checking out what Half-Cocked has to offer - maybe Ted Turner will even thank Brian Wieser VARIOUS ARTISTS Stacked UPI (UP Records) This CD consists of all original recordings from the vinyl singles, ond as such, it would be preferable to have the originals. I don't know if the purpose is to replace or encourage you to buy the vinyl singles. Regardless, il is a cohesive album of standard indie rock: part folk, part noize, and part bud, distorted guitars. Some problems with the album are lhat not all of the songs ore of single quality; some of ihem are unimaginatively derivative and, for the louder songs, the vocals are invariably under-mixed. This may just be personal preference, but as a consequence I enjoyed most of the quieter material that shows off the considerable talent of the artists as songwriters. Reservations aside, this compilation has served its purpose: if I see something by Violent Green, Butterfly Train, Built lo Spill or Hush Harbour, I probably won't think twice about buying it. Aaron R. KNAPSACK Silver Sweepstakes (Alias) Knapsack is a four piece band out of Davis, California, made up of Rod on bass, Jason on guitar, Colby on drums and Blair on vocals and guitar. The music is intense with lhal oh-so-populor punk/pop sound, and Blair's raw gut-wrenching vocals complement the backing wall of music. The opening trock, "Cellophane", has slow verses alternating wilh an explosive chorus. This seems lo be the cliche type of song in the indie world these days, but Knapsack does a good job nevertheless. The recording is complete with feedback and squeals on some of the tracks. The only downside is the difficulty of distinguishing some of Ihe lyrics. I have never heard anything about or by Knapsack before, but now I'm looking forward to seeing them live. grahame quan BABY CHAOS Safe Sex Designer Drugs and the Death of Rock 'n Roll (EastWest) I have mixed feelings about this album. While most of the songs would be nice lo listen lo in an elevator and won't kill anyone, everything seems strangely familiar. The First time I heard it the only thought in my mind was, "Oh shit, another wannabe Green Day", ond I promptly ran from the room. Then I let my sister listen lo it and she said she liked it, except lhal they sounded familiar. Hmmm. A mys- teryl I listened again. Yep. A definite Green Day/Metallico/Suede style band ll?l?l] from England, mean enougn to be bought by pre- teens but nice enough lo get airplay on the Fox.
