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

What's the best thing about being in a band?
Doug: Depends on what kind of band. Like, the best thing
about being in B.F.A. is spending time with my friends. But
the best thing about being in TLC is the free money and
90210 guest shots.
What's the worst thing about being in a band?
Doug: Again, depends on ihe band. 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. But
there's lots of fine bands like Bucko, Cheerleader, I Spy,
elliot, ihe Bonaduces, B'ehl, Duotang....
What is the first thing you are going to do when
you get home?
Doug: Get really confused and continue sleeping in the van.
James: Gel hit in ihe head.
Mike: Kick myself for doing Live From Thunderbird Radio
Hell, instead of watching the Doobie Brothers reunion concert.
Do you prefer cats or dogs?
Consensus: Two for cats, two for dogs.
Lisa: Dogs suck.
James: Cats look way too edible.

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

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:

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.

MOSSY LEDGE
READYMADE
September 12, 1995
Ralher than slowly building tension throughout this piece, stringing you along and making you
read it all the way through, I'll
tell outright: Readymade won the
night. But the other two bands

Cirkus Mine

and they remindocj me quite a bit
of an Australia-Strand called

It was very difficult to decide
who was better, Mossy Ledge or
mode it interesting.
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. Their singer, while sounding almost scarily like Bono (a re-
Readymade, as they played different types of music and they
were both good at what they
played. 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

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

one at Warner, but they went on
holiday and never called me back. 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.

tO OCTOBER 1995 Dave: I said, 'Jay, are you sure you feel this strongly
about our music that you're gonna break up Sloan
just to manage the Inbreds?'
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. I'd probably be the most popular uncle
to all my nephews and nieces

Cjmay complain ibat people
think his band is "arty" because
they use words with more than
one syllable, but could ihis uncultured man name a single Canadian writer? 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."

DiSCORDER: Where the
been?
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.

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: I wanted you since Olivelawn. I knew him for
years and he would never play wilh me. I was like,
'Come on dude, just play,' and he was like, 'Nah
dude, you don't know how to play guitar.'
How long have you known each other?
O: I've known Miles for a really long time and I've
known Jonny for about eight or nine years.
How did you hook up?
O: I hooked up wilh Jonny because he made coffee
for me, and I hooked up with Miles because he
was just some character I met.
Jonny: O and I hooked up in Denny's one time in
1983. My girlfriend at the time insulted him and he
told her she was a fat pig. I told her he was right.
O: I was skinny at the time.
Jonny: He told her to shut up, and I told her to shut Local Music Directory 1995

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.

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.

The Last Word, edited by Michael Holmes (Toronto: Insomniac Press, 1995)
SEPTEMBER: THE MONTH IN WHICH A PRIVILEGED MINOR-
ity of youth throughout North America ore forced to read literature against their will - or at least Coles Notes. 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.

that I am not alone in
T1 HAT QUOTE WAS IN A LETTER I RECENTLY RECEIVED FROM
Andrea, who writes A Girl, Another Book, and Residential Garbage. 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. I could narcissisticolly write more about
myself and my views, but I can't monopolize this introduction any
longer. So I'll hand you over to Andrea and I hope you enjoy our
review choices.
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. You can write Amber Dawn or I at: Between the Lines c/o
Discorder, 233-61 38 SUB Blvd, Vancouver, BC, V6T 121.
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. Send $2 to Marie: 1659 Lamberton Lk, Grand Rapids, Ml, 49505, USA.

LOTS OF GREAT SLABS OF INDIE VINYL TO RAVE ABOUT THIS
month, so let's get to it! 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. Next up: State Champs! On Nevada Downs,
these folks may be the lucky heirs to ihe Pavement throne, with music,
vocals, and lyrics that almost seem to mimic one of the bands lhat
made "alternative" mainstream. This is the first release from Daydream
Records, and it's a promising start. (Daydream Records, PO Box

Moving west, we bring to you Montreal's Goldfish. These two
gals (guitars and vocals) and two guys (bass and drums) seem to be
very much influenced by Jale. The 'hot' side of their record features
"Condor", the Rock song of this Bonfire Records release, while the
'cold' side's "Fondly" is a mellow, tuneful ballad, (e-mail:

Also on Shredder Records is the second 7" by Mark Brodie
and the Beaver Patrol, a band we think (hope?) is named after
their hometown mascot (iheir hometown being Surrey). This new
Shreddin' and Surfin' record features three cleanly produced, original hang ten tunes that'll make you want to ride the waves. It also
marks the debut of Ralph Johnson (of the Surfdusters) on bass. (See

Local girUtar-wilh-a-drum-machine Wandering Lucy has released
a new record on ihe wonderful lo-fi label-of-labels K Records. Really
Truly was produced by the remix man himself, Calvin Johnson, at his
own Dub Narcotic studio. You'll hear two space-pop, surfy
instrumentals, "Thrillville" and "Hard One", and two songs wilh Wandering Lucy's own brand of laidback, sincere vocals. We like "Arms +
Legs" best, 'cause it's slow, melodic, ond has multi-layered vocals. Be
sure to also check out Wandering Lucy's cassette (with cover designed
by Tae Won Yu) released by Lof i Extravaganza, another cool Olympia label! (Wandering Lucy, PO Box 3171, Vancouver, BC, V6B 3X6)
Last of the Canadian treats is Canadian Relics, a compilation which
endeavours lo "explore our nation's rich and diverse musical heritage" with some of the best local punk groups around playing weird
and neat covers. Startin' it off are The Evaporators, featuring the
fabulous Nardwuar the Human Serviette, wilh their version of "Coho?/
Cohol", a song written by legendary Toronto punk band Arson. Next
up is superstar group The Tonics, comprised of Nick from the Smugglers and Bum, Sandi and Jen, formerly of Kreviss, Scream from
Zumpano, and Ford from DOA and the Show Business Giants. This
retro garage rawk group have contributed their own rendition of the
theme song from the tv show "Littlest Hobo". The last song on 'this' is
by the one and only July Fourth Toilet, ^forming a screwed up
version of the theme to Let's Go, a Winnipeg, Manitoba children's
show. That' side begins with the Sister Lovers,'Vancouver's tribute
band to Big Star, playing "Sweet Thing

Nikki McLure, who you
pfobofety have heard on various
Olympic compilations, has recorded ner Godzilla 7", which is
Volume S7 ofthe International Pop
Underground on K Records.
Godzilla features "Miss Understood" and "Spider Dreams", both
of which have chest and lummy
percussion - Nikki has an amazing ability to sing in tune while hitting parts of her body! Simple, intelligent lyrics about dreams and
revolutions. (K Records, PO Box
7154, Olympia, WA, 98507)
Kill Rock Stars has sent us two
great records. The first, by Bikini
Kill, is entitled The Anti-Pleasure
Dissertation. The title track has a
slow, catchy guitar riff and is the
closest Bikini Kill will ever get to
writing a ballad. This is definitely
an indie rock 'hit'.
"Rah Rah Replica' is a short
n Slumberland Records, write
little punk rawk ditty. Tobi Vail sings "In Accordance to Natural Law",
the most aggressive song on this single. This is tough punk with jusl
enough melody to stick in your head. Write to Bikini Kill and get
information on ihem as well as on women-run record labels and recording studios. (120 NE State #418, Olympia, WA, 98501)
KRS has also released a single by Pussycat Trash, which is
everything you'd expect from the label: minimalist garage rock with
screaming female vocals. Typical, but worth a listen.
We've received three records from Candy Floss Records, a Cali-
fornian label known for putting out nifty twee-pop bands. Red Dye
No. 5, with three guys on guitar, drums, and bass, and a gal on
vocals, have released their second record on this label. The A-side,
loin You" is an aggressive, distorted guitar, Velocity Girl-type
song. While the B-side is a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" which
sounds s« much like the original version it'll trick you every time.
Poastal follow up their split single wilh Poundsign on Small-fi/
No UfeiRecords. This Candy Floss release is another bunch of boys
■■ ploying instruments and a girl singing her heart away to driving, distorted quitars (what's with this strange theme?), but we like it.
Loitoh the Candy Floss bill is Red Chair Fadeaway, a Beds,
Ertejlond band wilh a little more variety than the other two. They play
synlh-pop and any of their songs could be tv show themes.

The last review of the month is an extra special treat, a double 7"
compilation entitled Candybars and featuring 28 songs by 28 bands
from around the world. Included on this pair of discs are the likes of
Wimp Factor 14 (Tullycraft's drummer Gary's band making good
use of toy guitars), Tender Whiskers (pretty female vocals similar
to Heavenly), Cub (old school cub from their first single), Jowe Head
ESQ (English drinking song which quickly turns into an English drunk
song), Astroburger (experimental noise-pop), Paul Bevoir (the
Mr. Rogers side of Zumpano), Silly Pillows (beautiful female melodies with accomponiment) and a whole bunch more! Keep in mind
that in order to fit all ihis great music on Iwo records, these bands (we
presume) have contributed their shortest, and not necessarily their
best songs. Happy listening! (Little Teddy Recordings, Schifferlstr.l,

Too many days of too many hours

Ticker Tape Parade played mostly
as a duo of guitarists but sometimes as a Irio with drums. Additionally, they used an ancient tone

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. But I already knew
that I liked them, anyway, so this
evening was more of an introduction to some other bands that I'm
sure I'll like

things. 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

the double-headed dragon of

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.
And I was going
to say that Cevin
Key will probably
be there, presiding over the events

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.

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.
Pop rock for the dust bin.

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.

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.

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.

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 ^^

realm of bod relationships. I'll spare

speak for themselves.

Exit the Dragon is ihe follow-up
to Saturation, and features the same

(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

songs "The Break", "This

great tunes on ihis CD - you'll just

(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

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<'

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.

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.

SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE

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. Gol lo go - the

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

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.

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.
