To the musical director Radio America Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you as my husband and I are extremely concerned about tfie whereabouts of ourtwosons Philip and Peter Downing, who disappeared some time ago with their friends Michael and John. To be honest we haven't heard from Phil or Pete for over six months now, and it was only a stroke of luck that Mr. and Mrs. Winterbainne (ourneighbours), happened to be taking their annual two weeks holiday in Florida, when they heard something on the radio. Unfortunately they couldn't identify the particular radio station (I understand that there's more than just one radio station over there) but they are absolutely positive that they heard the name DOWNING and (they think) Philip's voice. It may ormay not be of help but both our sons have not been able to put down a guitar since an early age (despite Peter always being good at science subjects in school). We have never approved of their pop group but understand that they may have been lured to the United States by something they read on a record label, about a Mr. Savage, who apparently used to manage another pop singer named Michael Jackson. We are seeking your help to see ifyou have any information at all on our 2 Lost Sons, or could at least let us know whether or not it was our boys on the radio and that they are safe with a future assured. Yours in hope, Mrs. R.E. Downing P.O. Box 2428 London, England UNITED HNGDOM N168NL ALTERNATIVE UBERALLES And I quote from the best-selling biography Is That It by Bob Geldof while describing the state of music in thelate seventies/early eighties:"NEW WAVE MUSIC WAS AN ALTERNATIVE". So you see, the earliest proponents ofthe musical movement considered themselves as an alternative to the corporate schlock super- studio musician formula bands (i.e. Styx, Toto) who were ruling the airwaves of the day. (And I suggest if you haven't read this book, you do, Geldof has an insight into the whole sub-culture that rings true with visionary clarity). So along with New Wave being altemaU've; ska, reggae, gothic, death rode, rockabilly, synth pop, skate thrash, etc. were also considered so. You can all refertoa letter published inDiscorder in September of 1991 written by myself on this same subject matter. In the truest definition, alternative means a "choice between two or more things "not simply just a choice as stated in last month's letters... Now my question is why are you all kicking on Goths? They have just as much right to exist in the scene as much as anybody else and the Goths I know are a lot of fun. Have any of you who road the soapbox last month ever really talked to any of them or even bothered to try? They have a lot of soul and ultimately, truly believe in their music and fashion and statement. Just like every other faction of the scene does. (My next question is why can't all these factions pull together and support each other instead of taking poi hots at one another?) Goths are not all the morbid, nihilistic self-serving creatures that you all portray them to be. Have you ever bothered to try and and has been on the scene long before the Luvafair went to an open-door pohcy...remember memberships...? And before those of you who ASSUME (that being the operative word as that is what you all did last month) aid accuse me of being a "pretentious follower" and jumping on a bandwagon; if you were to ask me what bands I liked and listened to in 1980,1 will most likely respond "U2, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Siouxsie, Bauhaus, The Rats, The Psych Furs (Bet ya didn't know they existed before that movie?) Pistols, Buzzcocks and the list goes on and on." Now if you were to ask me what hands I liked and listened to today I would give you the same answer noting the changes in the Pistols to PIL and Bauhaus to Murphy and Love and Rockets and add Skinny Puppy. So much for that theory, eh? And as for my wearing my "attitude like a flag" I'll only give out attitude if you pull it on me. It's called self same ilk. (It's that type of person we all have been talking about here). If she and her entourage had any etiquette (etiquette being simple common sense manners) they would have kindly adjourned themselves to the bar or sidelines and let other people get on the floor but NO they didn't; so it really is no wonder she got in the way of a "Rude boy" who body- checked her across the Dance floor because she was in the way and taking up Valuable "dancing" space. Now whether it was an accident oron purpose that is only to be discovered in the heart of the skankers. The third paragraph of Mike's response hit it right on the head ofthe nail and reinforced the whole point of my original letter. If you want to go where the alternative lives be prepared to accept and respect it for all its different factions and aspects and live wilh it not make fun of it because it's different from what you are and we'll five you the same RESPECT... Catch the drift of what we all have been saying!!!!??? And to further refute the stupidity of the "if you make it in the music industry it means you're no longeraltemative" theory. Well, which of you is going to call up and tell the good folk at Nettwerk or any of their roster they ain't alternative no more. NOT. That is how ridiculous you are all being. It's really not successs or thelack thereof thatmakes something alternative, it's the quality and substance that goes into the creating of the art, kapish? It's an elusive and almost in describle essence and some have it and some don't Finally, if you ever truly have ©SWfiD Dutin{4&>S& 0#&'nIAU_t' 1+£ fioEKS cfltiE APOCALYPSE. WAS A f/v/ESoMgl.

The holes in your argument(s) are too numerous to go into bul a couple points should be made. You have eclectic musical tastes?

Andi'11haveyouknowlcalled up Nettwerk just yesterday and told them they ain't alternative no more. They laughed good and hard; and so aid I. Finally, "the Goths I know are a lot of fun" is an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Dear Airhead, The drivel, the clap trap of "god" rap... ain't music to my ears, it's an axe to grind with a thin edge; gospel music bunk. "Straggles, povetty....what's kept you going all these years," David asks Marion, reigning diva of "gospel" in August issue. Wow, what a lead-in. Just sitting here waiting for the zinger, formula answer, the buzz word, GOD (does it all) (More 'suffering for god's sake', the old swan song.) Geez, I really need to hear this in Discorder) Hell, I might as well geta subto Ernst Angeley's Unlimited Truth. The so called "good news" (gospel) of Christian tradition, is chalk full of chicanery, superstition, vi- ciousness, myth, regardless of what beat it comes rapped in. The beat goes on, promoting everything from coke to gods, or god, as perceived and will god save us? God can't even cure acne! Take your god and shove it! I love music and I love good rhyme but I also have a mind Ice T, complimented on his track and beat said, "that's when I realized I owed people something, that they enjoyed the message versus the be_t"..."thanks man, thanks for telling motherfuckers what time it God talking double tongues, hypocritical two faces, of George Bush and the Pope on downwards to local moralists, says to me we're being fucked and hoodwinked. It's prayers one day, and bombs the next, and more often than not, both at the Thelaws.customs.govemment, schools, entertainment are riddled wilh support mechanisms for religion; we're acculturated to accept this fantasy worid. Bul, I'm not obligated to close my mind and blindly worship a nonexistent god in hopes of entering a nonexistent heaven ju st because Chri stianity is the most dominant and well-funded religion. With free thought already in Discorder, sorry it's too late for a halo. Published in an earlier Christian era, ya all would have been tar and feathered, in prison, or burned at the stake; toast, by now. Heretics all. Bom again atheist, Dale from Trail Trail, BC Speaking of an axe to grind, you sure are zealous. Let me guess, you had some kind of run in with a religious authority at some point in your formative years. By the way, isn't Buddhism the most dominant religion? Dear Airhead, After months of the ongoing controversy over"Alt_mative" here's my 2 bits worth of opinion to shut up all you whiners and those honestly Ifyou go to the south of France and need to ask how much the casino's are, you can't afford it. Ifyou need to ask am I punk or alternative (or care) then you are not Nothing wrong with that It takes a lot of a person to admit to them selves they know not of what they seek. Being "alternative" is not a choice, it's like homosexuality you are oryou are not There is of course plenty of room for experimentation. I may not lik e heavy metal but there is heavy metal I like. I may not like rap/country but you get the idea. Exposure tc all elements of our society is the only key, whatever gets you excited be it music, politics or religion. If you do/don't like something, do something about it Talk - Action=O. Is that punk/ Alternative? Who cares.

Embracing a fu 11, lush guitar and keyboard sound, anchored by lead Chill Manin Phiflipps* fragile, engaging voice and canny songwriting, the unprolific band has released only a handful of records; among them BraveWords, 1990'» Submarine Bells and, most recently, Soft Bomb. The current lineup of the Chills — Terry Moore (baas), Steven Schayer (guitar), Lisa Mcdnick (keyboards), and Craig Ackroyd (drums)—came through Vancouver on the Soft Bomb tour. But are diey also destined to fall into thai ever growing category of New Zealand musician, the ex- Chill, after the tour? "No, they're going to stay on. We're going to try writing Phillipps says. An amicable, thoughtful man in his late twenties, Phillipps still feels allegiance to the scene that spawned his band. In New Zealand the Chilis are still signed to their original label, Flying Nun. (In the rest of the world they are signed to Slash, or "Slesh" as Phillipps pronounces.) And so, "the ethics and ideals of what we're doing have stayed very true to the original." This hasn't stopped the band from becoming one of New Zealand's best known musical exports. "I've always been lucky in that what I've done has been more commercially viable than some of our peers. We've always had a slight pop conlcnt, always with, particularly live, a lot harder sort of edge to it; a lot more energy. In effect the latter is turning out to be in the long run one of our best assets. We're lucky there's a punch to what we*re doing otherwise we'd just be another jangly guitar band." When they began playing Phillipps says there was a real effort on the parts of all the bands "not to be a bunch of poseurs and get dressed up in punk rock outfits. Any excessive movement was kind of like, 'Oh, he's trying to sell out, he Besides the isolation from what was happening in the rest of the world. New Zealand afforded their indie bands "the luxury of time as well, 'cos until Hying Nun came along there was booklet. Some people do say, *W_ll,yo_'re jumping on a bandwagon," bat I think you have to rise above things. And there's songs and posters can become very important, people can make a huge But then I think 'Well, that was then.' Now, so much more is tied up in it. If diere's body The no rivalry at all. People shared equipment... hand members. A band like ourselves and the Verlaines have shared at least five members I think. It was just like a real big fan club in a way. We could speed off into the country in our vans in Auckland and tour the whole country just by staying at somebody's house, purely because they were into the same sort of music we were. Now it's funny Ulking to bands in New Zealand and finding out that bands don'l need each other's equipment and that try to steal each other's gigs and stuff." Phillipps still lives in Dunedin, as much as he can: "Dunedin's still home for me, my parents still live there. It's the only place in the world that's actually mine. The countryside around Dunedin, the Tiger Peninsula, is a really rich environment. No matter how much I travel around the world I always try to keep a home base to have access to that kind of land. It's a great place to go and find yourself on a massive beach with nobody else there." No doubt this has contributed to an environmental theme running through the music, from the packaging (the last two releases have included information on Greenpeace and environmental hazards) to the actual lyrical content of songs like "I Soar." Phillipps seems more commiled than other artists who just seem to be along for the ride..."h's funny how many people say that all we've done is put information in the t and everybody should be doing whal they can to make things better. It still seems like a superficial thing to do in a way but I feel much more comfortable printing factual infomia- "And,ye__,belngfrom New Zealand could be part of it, the fact that as an island nation we're jumped on by some government body. It would he very easy to shut me out of the States if we made the slightest "For example, in New Zealand it was discovered that from America, in little capsules. [The U.S.] had found a way of getting rid of them. We were talking about this last night in front of our manager from L.A. and he was absolutely shocked, he's never heard any mention of this in the States. It's a tiny little amount but if you get half a million of these things...they're going to be run over by bulldozers, burned in house fires and released into the atmosphere, it's just amazing all the stuff going on. So it's scary but I'm very skeptical of the ability of rock music to change anything anyway. The audience we have now is pretty liberal, reasonably well-informed, they've already made darker nature ("Male Monster from the Id") to the irrational fears that plague our lives ("Water Wolves"). Tm not the world's bravest person, anyway. It's still difficult for me to get up on a stage m front of a crowd and start singing, it's kind of alien to the way 1 normally am. ft really frustrates me to see people who wanna be doing things, who aren't, and find ex- eases for it." Asked if he's a comics fan — there's a reference to Swamp Thing in Submarine Bells' "Don't Be Memory"— Phillipps says, "Yeah, a big comics fan," and whips out a little black book and starts reeling off all the titles he has complete collections of. 'Blood, Books of Magic, Crisis, Cult, Give Me Liberty, Hellblazer, M, Howard the Duck, Longshot, Miracle Man, Plastic Forks, Sandman, Stray Toasters, Swamp Thing, 2000 AD., Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Kid Eternity.... I'm still collecting Animal Man, Big Numbers, and Cages. Concrete I've just started on; Cere bus I've just started on; DoomPalrol...Hate. He's great, what's his name, Peter Bagge? Shade the Changing Man. Yummy Fur I really like. Neat Stuff, Cheval Noir." Love and Rockets'! "Yeah, I don't collect the comic, I just get the books. They're wonderful, they're like Garcia Marque/, whatever-his- "My t tion in a booklet that people can assimilate at their own pace. Hopefully, the overall message they're getting from the Chills music is of rising above everything and realizing it's in your power to change nitely part of it. At the same time T'm very skeptical, the more I leam about history, the more I realize that people, the arts actually, can make a real impact. In times of revolution and so forth, stirring side Billy Bragg and realizes that he's held in very high esteem by way, if you can put into words something that other people can't, than can solidify something make it all worth it." Fear seems to be a theme running through Phillipps' lyrics, from the fear of his own ..lie e magic Yeah. There are no Cana- "I bet there are in Eskimo culture. One thing I really love is good quality, old animated cartoons. My friend has a collection from around the world and there's a beautiful one done of black sand on glass of an old Eskimo legend. I think il was of an owl and a goose falling in love with each olher, and the goose wants to fly south for the winter, and the owl kind of trys to follow along but eventually falls in the water and drowns. It was a really sad story but beautifully done wilh an Eskimo child and ihis langourous old Eskimo in the background while the black sand shifted around them throughout the story.** Ummm. Sounds like there could be a Chills song in there.

Unlike theEmeraldCitytolhe south of our 49 th parallel, Vancouver doesn't do this all the time: the timing's gotta be on, the atmosphere just right, and a new bunch of hucksters have to be prepared lo unleash Iheir witty repertoire to the scathing judging of audience membersduring "Jokes For Beer." Let us give thanks for Shindig, an opportunity for those untested, underground underlings of the un derworld [nice alliteration, Rory!] [thanks Paul.] to be exposed to the harsh spotlight of fame and "fabulous" prizes. And believe me, that spotlight can all too often be harsh. But those that suffer the severe scrutiny of the elite judging panel may soon find themselves swathed in the arms ofthe paparazzi, or in the company of strangers al the local detox centre (fame is what you make of it). Shindig is already underway at the Railway, every Monday night from now until Decern ber.. .27 bands culled from a whopping 60+ entries (is that some kinda record?) will pa rade across the Railway's historic SUge; 3 of them appeared on Night One of Round One on SepL 14: Tho Lonesome Canadians: Our first combo was a four-piece who featured a quirky and eclectic grab- bag of styles and sounds during their set 1 enjoyed them, but not enough to makethe singer's obvious David Byrne infatuation any less irritating. The band's stage personality was rather introverted, which made the lyrical and between-song jokes and witticisms seem kind of...oblique. Still, enjoyable and fun. This is where I'll have to disagree with you Rory. I found the Lonesome Canadians to be a ralher original combo who incorporated the best elements of Jimmy Buffet andthe Rheostatics inaslightly nerdy way. Agreed, a lillle loo heavy onthe David Byrne thang, but a band wilh a direction and that direction being "MargaritavUle"...or should I say "Melville"? Stick Monkey: Stick Monkey were about 60 dB louder than The Lonesome Canucks, which certainly gets the band noticed when they play in the intimate confines of a small venue Kke the Railway. Although thedrmusic and lyrics were very cliche and derivative, pretty much anything in the pop-punk-metal camp can't help but be so (At least they aren't a Dino Jr./ SY ripoff, eh Paul?). I guess what I liked about them was the singer's smooth and powerful vocals, and I always think Kurt (ex-Qirious George guitarist) has the most hilarious stage presence..he's a sorta Joey Ram one/ Keith Richards at 17 hybrid. Again, enjoyable We just can'I seem lo click on any of these bands can we Rory ? I'm sorry, bul just because theUrgeOverkillwanna- be guitarist (fashion- wise) has roots in the over-rated Curious George isn't reason enoughforme lodig their scene. This was the most predictable musical rehashings that T heard. You know, I knew this band was going to win all along, sadly enough, because it seems that Shindig has become more of a loud rock event than anything else. Crucify me for wanting to bring a band wilhtalenlandoriginality, ratherthanlhe sheerability to play loud, into the The Cretin*: Ugh, these guys were pretty awful. I know what a tricky can of beans the old "1 hate telephone-operator headset mikes" argument can be, so maybe 1 just won't try. Sophomoric lyrics, weak music. Not enjoyable, and not much fun either.

Like the Phoenix, that mythical bird of regeneration, 1 have risen from the ashes of my geeky adolescence to find that those things 1 hold nearest and dearest to my psyche — independent cinema, cutting edge music, and complete ambivalence in the face of earnestness — have been accepted as legitimately cool by vast numbers of the general public. While this popular embrace of all things alternative has created some difficulties in my day to day existence — line-ups and cover charges every night of the week at all the clubs, decent bands are forced to play large sit- down venues for annoyingly innattentive teenie-boppers, and while 1 have to parade around in $10 canvas sneakers my thirteen year old sister sports mom-bought Dr. Martens — it has also made a few aspects of immortality worth living. This year's Vancouver International Film Festival is a case in point. Film festivals generally include independently produced films in their repertoires, but in carving it's niche in the world of international galas the directors of the VIFF have chosen to stay completely away from Hollywood extrava- ing the participation of the world's principle filmmakers. "For a city of [Vancouver's] population," say those in the know, "we have an extraordinary appetite for more adventurous programming." Maybe it's that Pacific Northwest zen quirkiness thing, but to quote the Kids in the Hall, I'm not going to jinx it by talking about it. Among the showcased collections of filmwork so hard- edged it makes Cannes look like Silly Putty™ are such groupings as Dragons and Tigers: The Cinema of East Asia, Canadian Images, Young Americans, The Gulf War and Other Non-Fiction Features, and Walk on the Wild Side. While the festival program- imaginations in their designation of series titles, nothing has held them back from selecting the weirdest, wacki- sial movies available on the Fans of schlock cinema will be impressed with the midnight screenings of the Walk on the Wild Side series. "Campy," "kistchy," "hilariously sick," and "gleeful shocker" are but a few of the colourful descriptions of this However, the key film of this series looks to be the ultra- serious Romper Stomper. Australian Geoffrey Wright's "uncompromizing and aggressive" film chronicling the lives of skinheads and their race- oriented battles with Vietnamese gangs in Melbourne. Compared to A Clockwork Orange "without the intellect," the film is said to be "well acted with a certain slickness but rarely has there been such a disturbing, essentially misconceived pic." On a more consistantly light note, the Canadian Images series is dominated this year by gloriuosly dark humour. Though a few forehead wrinkling flicks have seeped into the lineup, this series primarily demonstrates that avant garde, black comedy is a nation-wide phenomenon. Leolo, listed as "an audacious and totally original black comedy....startling and erotic," opens the series. An unexpectedly huge hit at Cannes, where audiences had enough good taste to boo David Lynch's Fire Walk With Me off the screen, Leolo is bound to be a VIFF favorite.

A series of four shorts and a new Hard Rock Mir like Bruce McCullough (Kids in Ihe Hall) as director of Coleslaw Warehouse, Don McKellar (Highway 61's co-writer and star) as director of Blue, and David Cronenburg (yes, that David Cronenburg) as star of Blue, ensure that And Now For Somelhing Completely Canadian lives up to it's press kit description as "a unique evening of Canadian comedy at its best...you know, weird, cynical, black - and very, very If you have a pathalogical fear of laughter. The Gulf War and Other Non-Fiction Features is probably the series for you. Tackling such bullies as the Gulf War and the powers involved in that lillle skirmish, the media, the Canadian prison system, third world imperialism, anti-gay legislation, the big business of entertainment, and macho facades, documentarians of varied experience will be ready tojoust with yourperceptions, views, and political in/activity. Says festival director Alan Franey, "Each ofthe documentaries unveils information that will challenge received opinion on many of today's mosl burning issues." No holds barred seriousness is not mandatory for documentary features, however, and 1992's VIFF includes a diverse mix of n i-fictic iubjec ial gay artist Tom of Finland, to legendary New York City party-crasher Richard Osterweil, to the changing role of physical fitness in America. Also included are the academy award-winning In the Shadow of the Stars and Michael Moore's sequel to Roger and Me, Pets or Meat: The Return to Flint. A potentially rivetting documentary yet to be made is The New Xenophobia: Asian Immigration to B.C. in the Late Twentieth Century. If you know any prospective human subjects for such a film, you may want to drag them out lo one of the features in Dragons and Tigers: The Cinemas of East Asia for some cultural enlightenment. Dominated by international premieres, the format for this series has been altered from last year's Pacific Rim showcase to focus specifically on Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Taiwanese, Philipino and Hong Kong artists. Also different, this year there is "a deliberate emphasis on young, independent filmmakers working outside their film industries." Cowards fearing inaccessible artiness need not avoid this series. Many of the films* synopses read like a Hollywood summer feature guide, full of guns, money, gambling, bad women, and bad Hopefully, and assuredly, thesi films will be lacking in Tinsel Town's real speciality - half the lips of the VIFF pucker up to something this year it SS> won't be afxS banality, at least not if director Franey can help it. "Operating with a fra tion of the means o [the big] festivals and not wanting more mediocre way of approaching things, [by] just taking what's provided through the commercial marketplace, we're hoping...to carve an identity for going out and seeking new things, having strong premieres, and having an audience that supports it in a very intelligent and independent way. Thai's what makes festivals exciting and that's why the people who supply us with the films are rewarded for their participation."!, for one, will be there, seeking out new alternative avenues and a haven from over- exploited flannel-wearing, tattoo- sporting, rebel middle-class corporate marketing targets.

John: I don't know if it's a logical extension of what Pitchfork was doing. I think it's a logical extension of what I'd want to be doing, just ai much as what Rick would wanl to be doing.

You're asking a question where things get really hlown out of proportion. Rick: It's one of those things that is like nobody's fucking business. John: If you Ulk about it you're bummed, and if you don't talk about it then people make their own shit up and h gets all distorted. It's best to just let things lie and call people on the bullshit instead f letting people know whai's going on and what's not going on. I'm looking at things from the stand point of "I've been Into punk rock since 1980 and I've been doing Ute do-it-yourself thing since then." So, when I see all these band, jumping towards major labels...? Rick: That's more of a question like, "do we think being on a major label is a sellout or immoral...?" John: "A contradiction to the type of music you're playing...?" Rick: I'm totally undec: J about On the other hand, signing with a major label would be great for you guys: lots of people are exposed to your music and lots of people get to hear you. John: We all know that's not necessarily a good thing. Rick: Think about the last time you went to see your favorite underground punk band, say Sonic Youth, in some giant place, and people are milling around with no idea why they are there. L.A.! John: As far as creativity and bands putting out the same type of music they did when they were on an independent, a lot of times bands start to suck. But 1 think that's a band thing. I don't think the major labels are out there stifling their creativity. John: Especially the way it is now. Pretty much every band is on a major label at this point. Rick: It's not all that uncommon, and if it's destroying punk rock, 1 don't think lhat's a bad thing. Hopefully it will destroy punk rock so people can do something bet- John: The whole thing wilh punk is lhat it meant so many different th;ngs to somany different people. It ran the gamut from extreme creativity and spontaneity to the most violent, stupidest thing in the world. It was, literally, a huge spectrum. Do you still subscribe to that punk sort of attitude? Rick: We never did in the first place...well, I guess we did. John: I :hink we all did. We were all into punk rock. We grew up watching punk bands. I don't want to say looking at it, because I slill consider a lot of the music that came out of lhat my favorite music. 1 think the whole thing of discovering punk and being punk was the coolest thing that ever happened to me. It's probably the most important thing lhat has happened in my whole life. Again, that's because il meant something to me and I saw it meaning somelhing totally different, and something fucked up, in my eyes. ,)<;s being in both bands, John, (Drive Like Jehu and Rocket PrOffi-Thft^J Crypt) create any tension for Drive Like Jehu touring and such?

Rick: I certainly wooldn 't want to live up to anything like that. I Kke rock V roll better. John: It's more vague, open ended.

John: 1 wouldn't wanl to say "Yeah, we're a DIY band and we only play all-ages shows," and set up all these things for us just to go up and contradict ourselves. But I do. I think it's pretty evident in the way we sound and certain things. Of not out there doing this for any kind of money thing, we do it because we like to do it. There's a lot of things that I think are totally fucked up, but I don't need it and say it because they are so blatant to me that I don't need to lake a stand. Anything else to say? Rick: There's a lot of things to be said but it's really hard to say things in the view. As far as music goes, major labels go, punk rock ethic goes, I don't give a fuck. Who cares?

I said with surprise, "Melody Maker!" "Sure is," Mike affirms, "can't do an interview for them without photos." Well, shows you how much I know when a local outfit (who by choice keep their relative distance from the "scene," as it were), graces the pages of an overseas rag. I figured this was as good a time aa any to get the poop on this bunch of disgruntled musical youth. Although you may or may not know it. Lung has actually been kicking around for a few yeas* now, playing in Vancouver wi* the likes of L7 and Buffalo Tow, and even managing to get down the west coast for a 4 city mini- tour to hone their skills on differ*:* ent audiences. However, on one trip in particular, their skills would have probably been put to better use if they hadn't forgotten one thing...their about to leave for Seattle , I kept saying, "Where's Mike? Where's Mike?" recalls Doug. "The other guys assured me he was meeting us there." Mike chimes in: "So later that day I get a message on my answering machine saying that they were in Seattle. I had no idea 'cause nobody told me about anything." "That night," says Doug," I'm sitting outside of this club, pissed drunk, singing at the top of my lungs, when who shows up but Mike. Bass suitcase in the unnerved Dennis Hopper) is indeed "heavy," it also generates an intensity not unlike a freight train speeding downhill without brakes. When asked about the Blue Velvet sample, Richard's reply spoke for itself: "At the time I guess it had the right kind of feel for the song." Indeed, now would this freight train of a band pull it off on stage? To see Lung play live is, like Maximum Rock V Roll saya,"pretty amazing shit." Every time Lung play a new battle is engaged inside each individual member and the results are furiously emitted from their instruments...most times to the point of imminent destruction. Lung admit that because we tend to isolate ourselves from the crowd or whatever seems to be around. We also have very large egos, but we have large egos because we have to believe in ourselves no matter if no one else does." Mike adds: "Someone came up to me at one of our shows and said he really admired the fact that we could still play like we were playing to 300 people, although there were only 30 people in the audience. I told him we only play for ourselves." Richard elaborates further "Obviously it's nice when people enjoy it and if someone else gets into it, cool, that's great." These opinions have gotten chosen path: playing the odd show here and there and recording their first vi- nyl effort in August of 1990, • 7" for Scratch Recon playing some of these shows (i.e. the Pixies or Ned's Atomic Dustbin bill) because it just gets reduced to who can ulk business the most," says Mike. "I guess the only good thing about it is that they (the promoters) came to us. We didn't go around trying to get on those shows." Nor did they try to land the deal withtheirnewestV platter,"Litany'7 "Fuck Generator," on the Serial Killer Records label based out of Birmingham, England. "The deal came together coutesy of Keith (Parry, Scratch Records)." Rich points out "The first single got over there and before we knew it we got a letter from S.K. saying they wanted to do something with us, so we did." Serial Killer's impressive list of acts (of which their decision lo go with Scratch Records was a relatively easy one as owner Keith Parry has been friends with the members of Lung for sometime. About the same time though, another local label was expressing some interest in them too: "We actually had our material demoed for Nettwerk about a year and a half ago, but they said we were too hardcore, too heavy," says Mike. "And that was before they asked us to open up for Lava Hay!" quips Doug. While the single itself, crimson and black splotched (with introduction by an they are very aggressive on SUge to themselves and each other. Case in poi n t, their last big show with Chicago's Jesus Lizard wherein Jason hurled himself, Kurt Kobain-style, into Richard's drum kit. "Our shows are really just an outpouring of emotions, whatever feelings we have that particular day," explains Richard. It seems, more often lhan not, that those feelings involve bitterness, frustration and anger, and for Lung these are pretty justifiable feelings. They've uken a lot of flack for their personalities and their sUge show, and it is at this point where some true feelings are shared. Doug admits "One reason we don't get much some hot water and, though justified, some people just can'taccept them. For example, there has been an ongoing feud between the members of Lung and the Cruel Elephant which, for reasons better left unsaid, has left a sour uste in both of their mouths. As a result. Lung have terminated any and all dealings with the Cruel Elephant and its booking agency. Good Boy Productions. Doug offers, "It's not a money thing, it's not an ego thing, it's more of a principle thing." With that came a new problem, where to play now? Well, how about bigger shows at bigger venues with bigger bands? Lung tried it and, suffice it to say, they could do without. "It's such a hassle Motherland and North Carolina's E r e c t u s Monotone are a part of) Lung prove themselves worthy with two songs of ear-splitting, eye popping love. This release precipiutes my next question...where'stheLP?Fear not, friends, local biggies Zulu Records have scooped up and babied Lung into producing their debut long player, due October. Produced under the watchful eye of Ken "Hi- Watt" Marshall and Don Gordon this could very well be the most anticipated local release of the year. If the lead off track "P.H.P.M.M.D.," an ode to some people Lung hold very dear to their hearts, is any indication lean only fear for your safety. Plainly, the future looks good for the gurus of guitar-wallop as they prepare themselves for possible touring overseas next year. Mike deuils their tenutive plan: "What they [Serial Killer] want to do is Ug us on with a big band (Godflesh is a name that pops into mention) and tour in and around England with a guaranteed John Peel Session that the label will arrange forus. We've actually been played on John Peel's show a number of times now." But before they embark on that, they may play around Vancouver, if you're lucky, and maybe stateside if they manage to corral all the members together at the same time. As for right now. Lung only have one aspiration in mind. "One day we might be as hip as Superconductor," sighs Doug. "No, no, never that hip," disagrtess Mike. "Do 1 sense some tension between you and them?" I ask tongue- in-cheek. "We want to try and hang out in the same places they do," exclaims Doug. "They just have this aura." Mike's idea may seem more plausible: "We want to try to get their old girlfriends!" Look out ladies. Lung are comin' atcha, fast.

We turn a comer—the only oomerin town—and there are freakseverywhere, straight out of Perry Ferrell's wet dreams; a regular Lollapalooza of dreadlocked, pale "alternative music fans" jumping off a bridge into the river that runs through the middle ofthe town. How fitting thai this should be the first image in High River that greets us. At the front gales we're directed past the first campsite.

I must talk to someone to find out what happened the evening before. We set off to explore the rest of this circus. Under a big top, tables are set up for the selling of food, books, and jewellery. I grab some copies of lidmonton magazine S/i_- forfun. Next to the big tent is a Greenpeace booth and a tattoo parlor operating out of a trailer. No Jim Rose Sideshow Freaks, though. Hallelujah for small blessings, there's enough freaks of nature here without someone hauling around concrete blocks with his nipples. Near a booth filled with Highwood memorabilia is something called an Orbitron. The Orbitron is shaped like a giant gyroscope. A sign recommends that participants be "in good physical shape." It's purpose becomes apparent as we watch one young skatepunk get strapped in and started spinning around; it's a machine to make you throw up.

The beer garden quickly becomes boring. Back at the stage the Smugglers come one. They rock and provide plenty of laughs with their agonized take on die premature cancellation of Alan Thicke's Growing Pains. Afterthe Smugglers' set seems as good a time as any to head for the Port-O-lets behind the stage. Walking along, I hear another band take the stage They sound pretty good...plenty of time, 1 think, determined lo relieve "You missed Shonen Knife!" K.C tells me when 1 return. "What?" "Shonen Knife!

Several of my companions are not so fortunate and have crawled off to bed by the time I grow weary of Furnaceface (haven't these guys ever heard the aphorism "Brevity is the soul of wit'?) and decide once more to see whai's happening under the big top. Most everything has been put away. Several people sit at the tables, Ulking. 1 turn around and there's Art Bergmann, smoking and sniffing around for coffee. His eyes are last week's weather report. I make small talk and bum a cigarette—- Marlboro light. Suddenly, Art's distracted by a coffee maker.

The Milkmen stand around patiently, waiting for the technical kinks to get ironed out When they finally start up the sound is even worse from the side of the stoge than at the front. Back at the big top, Art Bergmann is exactly where I left him, drinking a cup of coffee. In the distance the coloured lights of the Orbitron spin like a whirligig. Enough, I head back to the safety and comfort ofthe Wild Turkey and m sleeping bag. That night 1 dream I'm at the festival site and I'm walking towards what I think is a big hot air balloon. As I get closer I see it's the Orbitron. There's someone familiar strapped in, being spun around. I move closer. I try to see the face, which is a blur. Finally the spinning slows down and I see a butt dangling from a mouth and two bleary. It's Art Bergmann. Mildly hungover and tired, I wake up to near-silence. I'd woken up twice, once by Husker Du's "No Promise Have I Made." (This, as time will tell, becomes the most memorable moment of the whole festival for yours truly.)

For every band that was grateful for the opportunity to play the festival there was someone (whether festival-goer or band member) complaining about the lack of a proper schedule, bands getting cut off midset and poor sound quality. No doubt it didn't help that this was the first of its kind (as far as 1 know) in Canada and that the site had to be moved from atop sacred burial grounds to grounds only a gopher could love.

The ' program echoed my thoughts..."be tell your kids how cool you were." I guess many people were sharing my sen- timents, as bands all over Vancouver were jumping on the Highwood bandwagon for a pittance. The Stoney Creek Reserve was where the festival was originally to have taken place, but was moved at the last minute due to liquor licen sing difficulties. I was lucky, someone al a bar told me the festival had been mowed. Others weren't so lucky; greeted by a dead end sign in the middle of nowhere saying the festival had been moved to the High River Rodeo centre, approximately 60 km away. Afteraheinous 17 hour drive, in which I was crushed in a small vehicle. arrived at the gale, received our wrist- re directed through an arid, flat and as yet empty festival site to our camping area. Not terribly good at roughing it particularly in the de- . bilitating sun, I gritted my teeth and cleared a dozen or so cow paddies out of the way and made my homestead. Besides it being really fucking hot the town of High River ran out of ice and the locals looked freaked out by all the shirtless guys with bandannas aroun their heads. This was the closest I came to being overwhelmed by the summer of love spirit There was also a cool river (presumably it was High River) with frightening undercurrents that everybody swam in. A s the day wore on more people came, bands started playing...I was saddened by the news that Beat Happening, Seaweed, L7 and Mudhoney, who were all "90% confirmed" as of an interview with Paul Hughes, artistic director of Highwood, in the June edition of Calgary's VOX magazine, were not going to be making an appearance at the festival. Babes in Toyland, who were listed in the program, didn't play either. The Dead Milkmen, Sons of Freedom, Tad, Art Bergmann, and Coffin Break were billed as the premiere performers. So maybe I didn't get to camp with Joey Ramone, but Bif Naked was there and with Nekroscope and Krul Hul right down the tent Hock, how could I not feel in the thick of an independent extravaganza? High den - sity camping and beer drinking was the mainsuy in the main campsite. The ratio of people to portajohns was sadly unbalanced, however, when you think about how much excrement 6000 people make. Heavy police presence (2 RCMP) and over a hundred volunteer security people, one of whom, the huge drunken skinhead variety, borrowed my friend's car on the premise of some security emergency. Needless to say, he drove around aim - lessly blasting the stereo until she asked him to get out of the car. biggest gathering of Canadian rock bands in all of our 125 year history. Wow! Too bad all of them were so dull. This is not without exception of course. Hell, there were just too many bands;. 65 bands is a lot and 1 believe seventy-four actually played. Each band (premiere performers excluded) played ten to twenty minute sets (and onoccasion were rudely cut off) which on at 7:00. 7:00a the other Conductors still hadn't arrived, they were then told they missed their slot Tankhog therefore had to to get a really good groovegoing. Conse- quenti-lly.itgenerated a sort of assembly line affect Quality, not quantity, should have been the rule of thumb here. Bands of merit at the festival included Cub who played a very brief but confident and asthtetically pleasing set Watch forthe October 10th release of their Jean Smith (mecca Normal) produced debut 7" Pep. The Smugglers sounded greal but I was standing in line to get paid so 1 couldn't see them. One of the greatest moments of my Highwood adventure was seeing the Evaporators. Nardwuar was in peak form and I almost split my gut laughing when 1 looked to see him, in a gold lame jacket, being carried around (at about shoulder height) by the audience like a battering ram. Though most aspects of the festival seemed torun quite smoothly, backstage was havoc. Despite tight security restrictions a lot of mixups occured. However, whenever aprob- 1cm aroseone was instantly deferred to Paul Hughes; omnipotent yet persi stently difficult to find. An ex- military man and local personality, he overrode a somewhat question- KJSS, beer, weiners, and hooting were all on the agenda for the weekend. Those who tore them selves away from the party at their campervans to watch the bands seemed to mosh to just about anything, and only really approved of generic, alternative metal bands. This was, without a doubt the able reputation to tun the High wood show in most regards. Mixups with surfing times seemed a common problem. Confirming a sun time of 10 o' clock with Mr. Hughes, on the phone before they left Vancouver, the members that so happened to arrive at Highwood at 6 o'clock place in Superconductors 7:00 slot which was a drag for them, and further complicated the situation. Understandably pissed until the situation was later rectified. Superconductor played a brilliantly dirty set, silhouetted against the setting prarie sun...sigh. However, this wouldn't be the end of such shenanigans. Areathor, slotted to play the die-hard set(2:00- 5:00a.m.) were toldjustproirto going on stage thai that was it, everything was being shut down for the night Obviously furious, an argument ensued and escalted until Mr. Hughes threw a punch at one of the band members and challenged all of them to a fight Apparently Areathor split from the festival the next day. My understanding is that a lot of local bands played Paul Hughes' Highwood Festival for free, some of them for next to nothing. In reality, everybody (premiere performers ex- cluded) paid to be al Highwood. 1 have yet to speak with anyone whohas actually covered the costs of the trip. Nobody minded too much, though. After all, how often do you get to play in front of 6000 people? (Fifty people if you happened to play in the daytime.) Unfortunately, the media exposure that seemed to warrant such an expensive endeavour just wasn't there. The audience seemed definitely less interested in the bands than in theirs will. Nevertheless.play- ing was fun and what with the huge suge setup and fancy Marshall amps for the bands to play through one almost felt like an honest to god Canadian celebrity. the chance thatyoumightget"screamed at," as did Rob from Bum, were fairly likely. Paul was even so bold as to threaten to call security because Rob insisted on their guarantee being met to cover their costs home. "Do you know what it's like to book/ pay sixty-five bands?" is a question he should have asked himself along time ago instead of screaming it in to some poor musicians face. You have to give him some credit though, he looked utterly exhausted and stressed out what with his attention being demanded on all sides at all times. Among others, the Smugglers and Elvis Love Child didn't get their agreed on payment. Getting one hundred dollars less than yourguarantee, in light of the thronging crowd all wearing Highwood t-shirts (sporting the logo "1 came 1 drank I puked 1 poked I came and I'll come again," no less.), must have been a bitter pill to swallow. I'd like to point out that fortunately for the Smugglers, the balance of the money they werenot paid at the festival was given to them by local rock mogul and Scratch Records proprieter Keith Parry, who had a tidy sum from selling Highwood's advance tickets. But this is rock and roll, and whai's rock and rail all about if it's not about having a blast, playing a big gig and maybe throwing some bad attitude around? Hell, ifyou dan' t get paid it's all part of As fun or, al any rate, expected. Punk rock shows lose a lot of money, and promoters everywhere can't pay the bands the way they'd like to. In the independent spirit of things, this is perfectly okay. But I smelled a little posl-Nirvana explosion in the air, and damned if the whole thing left me with a vague Lollapaloozish taste in my mouth. Obviously, one has no way of knowing how much Highwood cost to put on, organizers have claimed they lost between $16,000 and $28,000; reports vary. A festival compilation is Let it be said, however, that there was "general difficulty in getting paid." If you could find Mr. Hughes at all there was a lineup, and if he didn't just disappear on urgent told to go business, and you get to talk with him major ads on the bill as expected. Paul v also overheard bragging drunk- enly about all the money he was raking in to a member of Elvis Love Child late on the Saturday evening of the even in the works with the proceeds going to pay off the festival's debts. Learned estimates disagree. It seems impossible that they could have lost money. There were so many people there, and not as many of the circulating (although it sounds rumourish) that the Western Canadian Independent Music Society was buying land for next year's festival wilh the proceeds from this Punk rock or corporate rock? Highwood seemed to teeter on ihe fence between both, Molson Canadian sponsorship not withstanding. I'd rather avoid sounding moralistic and spout off about the love rock revolution. 1 think the problems that arose could be easily rectified with a little communication and organization: less stress all around for promoters and bands. The bands are the focal point to the festival and they work really hard to be there and put on a good show. All in all, audience and performers alike seemed to have Highwood which is what really counts in the end. After Ulking with a lot of Vancouver bands, almost aH of them said they'd go back; some of them said they wouldn't go hack unless they had a contract with the organizers guaranteeing payment. Others didn't mind bearing the brunt ofthe playing there was a fun thing to do. I ce. Highwood Festival, and. the furtherance*. • rock scene ii general, much success. 1 hope organizers can work out the bugs for next year and an even better (... dustier, hotter) Time be had by all. >*?* &> —<*2_5k A _. _ at/ * 50 * OFF A/W P/ZZA SUCF CiTR 101.9 TM NEEDS YOU!

It is the story of O, a big, powerful lead guitarist who loves and lives with an explosive passion. The story is told through the eyes of Chris, a boy confused by adolescence, but determined to find his identity. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but you'll never be able to put down St or i esofO. ANY SIMILARITIES TO PERSONS LIVING OR DEAD IS MERELY COINCIDENCE BY CHRIS UREN On the telephone, Mike Olson seems like a pretty nice guy. You don't want to buy him flowers or anything, but he's alright. Which is kind of surprising, given that Olson' s claim to fame is being the snarling lead singer for Olivelawn, a band who's reputation for turmoil is unsurpassed. Olivelawn is the L.A./San Diego based outfit that brought the world Sophomore Jinx, an amazing piece of work that fully realized the promise established by their debut Sap LP. Everything about Sophomore Jinx works, from "the Ventures influenced cover, to the Seattle influence (big guitar music), to the jack-hammer rendition of ZZ Top's "I Heard it on the X" that closes the album. In Short, Sophomore Jinx is one shit- hot piece o' plastic. But while listening to Olivelawn may be a pleasure, interviewing them is not. I recall a conversation I had with famed rock journalist Steven Wells about Olivelawn. "Fuck those guys," screeched the usually laid back Steve. "They've stiffed me for an interview three limes already. I'm a busy man, damn it, and I've got better things to do." And with that. Wells smashed his empty 40 ouncer of Schlitz Malt against his Dominoes delivery truck, and drove Why, then, would one ignore the difficulties and spend a good four months trying to get an interview with an obscure South- em California rock'n'roll combo? One reason is that a band with good songs as "Hate," "Major Label Blues," and "Earthquake" begs to be interviewed. The other reason is to address the plethora of rumours that follow Olivelawn around like a bad mood. "They've broken up," said Smuggler drummer Bryce "Sticks" Dunn, suavely removing a booger the size of Manhatten from his left nostril. It was March, and attempts to contact Olivelawn had failed. "O (the band's lead guitarist) hates having his picture taken. So when he saw his picture on the album and in some promo posters, he quit." Poor O couldn't have been thatmad, though. Two weeks later Bryce told me Olivelawn was back together. "And," Sticks assured me, "they're coming to Van- But Olivelawn wasn't coming to Vancouver. They were staying right where they were, waiting for a chance to be interviewed by Discorder: At least that's how one record rep made it sound. "Could they call you back in ten minutes?" asked the rep. I ran to get a cassette and my i ecall. "They've broken up," said Discorder editor Paul Brooks, while scratching at his anus as though he were trying to claw through cement. "You know how you wanted to interview O and Mike Olson at the same time? Well, those two can't be in the same room at the same time. So in the ten minutes that it took to call you back, they got into an argument, and the band broke up." Two weeks later, reports had the band back together and headed for Vancouver. in Los Angeles. "They don't practice, because they don't like each other," said Grant, who is a renowned lunatic with a quick right hook,"and they actually get into fist fights on stage. One time Jonny Donhowe (the bassist) creamed' Olson with a mic stand." But the most exciting piece of news Grant had concerned the shadowy O. "He won't book a show for Victoria because he doesn't feel safe on islands." Man, I just had to talk to this guy. It wasn't to be, though. "O is pretty negative," said one record rep, unaware of his stupid pun, "you don't really want to talk to him." And Mike Olson himself asked, pleading, if "O really has to be there?" But I was adamant. An Olivela view couldn't happen because of the L.A. riots. "O isn't gonna drive to L.A. and I'm not leaving my house," said Mike, who then went on the CiTR news to explain what was actually happening in L.A. during the riots. It was not long after that I kicked my nasty ether and bourbon habit and came face to face with that ugly monster called reality. I'd been trying to interview Olivelawn forfourmonths, with no success. O had no intention of ever talking to me or anyone likeme. And that band wasn't coming to Vancouver, no matter how often they were listed in the Cruel Elephant ads. I was jusl going to have to interview Mike Olson solo. Which isn't a bad thing in and of itself. Olson is an interesting guy in his own right. He runs "Olivelawn?" laughed Zipgun guitarist Neil Rodgers. "We did a show with them in Berkeley. I think they came in four separate vans, did four separate soundchecks, played their set and went home. Never did they talk to each other. They did a great show, though." Atthe time, Zipgun had just cut a split 7" single for Rekkid, a label owned and operated by none other than Mike Olson. The undisputed heavyweight champion of Olivelawn info, though, has to be Smuggler frontman Grant Lawrence. Like Zipgun, the Smugglers have recorded for Rekkid, and the band stays at the Olson domicile when would be like sex without orgasm. Or, I'm guessing, it would be. Armed with Olson's home phone number, and a list of questions like "O, are you really as fucked in the head as everyone says?", I continued my battle undaunted. On one memorable occasion, I learned from Mike's mother that "The Smugglers are just the nicest boys."; dramatically destroying that band's reputation as a bunch of sex-era zed juvenile delinquints. Mrs. Olson related how Dave Carswell (Smuggler guitarist) had gotten up early to clean the Olson pool and informed me that "Those boys can stay here anytime." On another occasion, Mike himself ex - plained that our scheduled inter- Rekkid records, which has recorded the Mummies, the Derelicts, and the Hoods in addition to Zipgun and the Smugglers. He's also a USC student, or was at least last year. Olson holds a fascination for Seattle cartoonist Peter Bagge, discuss. Rekkid, of course, is a term used in Bagge's Hate comics, and "Hale" is also the first song on Sophomore Jinx. "It's just a philosophy I like in there," says Olson of the Hate comics. I also asked Olson about Olivelawn's part in one of the most sly and insidious plots to Uke place in years. As you may or may not know, Boeing, Starbucks, Microsoft and the Entertainment Industry are currently pushing to have Seattle declared the capital of North America, which will be renamed Corporation and will be presided over by University of Washington football coach Don James. "We just happened to be in Seattle when we wanted to record", says Olson, fooling nobody. Both Olivelawn records have been produced by Jack "Mr. Seattle" Endino in the Emerald City. Olson was far more forthcoming when the subject turned toO.hispartnerand nemesis. Keep in mind that O elected not to be present and thus was unable to defend himself. "He's huge," said Mike, "and he could kick your ass." Olson had no way of knowing that I'm 6'7", 275 lbs and used to wrestle professionally under the pseudonym Mad Dog Martel. "His real name is Oswald or something, and he gets real mad ifyou don't call him O," Mike added. I was disappointed. I wanted O to be named after that French S & M book, The Story ofO. Olson also confirmed lhat O was indeed the same O who served as senior photographer of Transworld Skateboarding Magazine. "He's probably betterknown for his skateboard photography than the band. Lots of kids thla think O is really cool don't even know he's in a band," Olson says. Being a renowned photographer doesn't mean Big O likes having his picture taken though. Olson confirms that O "goes berserk" when he sees his glorious likeness reproduced, and the photo that accompanies this article is, according to Olson, one of only two band photos with O in them. Olson went on to say that O could well inflict physical injury if he saw that picture Of course that wouldn't be the first time Olson had been roughed up by a fellow Olivela wner. The singer also confirms that he was indeed beaten with a mic stand by Olivelawn bassist Jonny Donhowe during a gig. "We feed off the energy," says Mike 'the Pinata', "it makes for great shows." Of course, we're unlikely to see any of those shows up here in Vancouver although Olson assures me the band does plan to come to Canada; "Probably in August," he said, lying through his teeth. Olson also contends that the only reason they don't consider playing Victoria is because they.ve heard it's hard to book all-ages shows there and because they don't have anywhere to stay on the Island. As to O's fears that islands have a tendency to sink or tip over, Olson feigns ignorance. "Maybe," he says, "but that's the first I've heard of it." Finally, the issue of Olivelawn's viability isbreached. "Sometimes, everything I do bugs O," says Olson wistfully. That problem, coupled with the fact that both men are very active outside of Olivelawn, does not allow the band a promising future. In fact, O has recently been perform - ing with a seperate combo, one called Huff. Olson, though, is optimistic. "Things will get better once we start preaching again," he figures. Then, to emphasize that the millions of rumors about the band may not be so accurate, Olson says that "the tales of our demise have been greatly exaggerated." Yeah. Exaggerated. Over and over again. POSTSCRIPT Just a few weeks ago, my phone rang at somewhere between 2 and 3 in the moming. It was Discorder editor Paul, who miraculously could transmit halitosis, as well as words, through the phone lines. "Olivelawn has broken up," he told me. Yeah, sure I figured. Paul was the guy who told me that Mike Olson had tried to set him up with the girl on the cover of Sophomore Jinx. But Paul was insistent: "They've broken up," he repeated. The next day, I bumped into Grant Lawrence while supporting the local music scene. Grant echoed Paul's words, and added that Ruff had a single coming out on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. He too was convinced of the permanency of the latest Olivelawn break-up Now, if I were 83, living in Arkansas, and sat on a rocking chair in front of an old gas station, I'd tell you not to worry. "That band has more lives than a cat," I'd tell you, prior to spitting a massive wad of brown tobacco juice on the ground at your feet. But really I'm young, and any wisdom I have is hidden behind bad facial hair and a moody disposition. And that's why I've got to agree with Paul and Grant and admit that a good band has left us. Olivelawn is done like dinner. (Olivelawn won't be playing at a club near you.) OCTOBER (Q BY ADAM SLOAN Yo, "Future Rap" is back! I'll be takin' over the column from Terror T as she's busy for a while schoolin' herself. So, here's a coupla' 12"s fo' yo' contemplation. Kid Rock, Detroits #1 rapper, is hittin' hard with "Back From The Dead" on Continuum Records. Mixin' a Beastie Boys style lyrical delivery with hardcore beats and lotsa' breaks, look out for the forthcoming album. Coming out on Ruthless Records are Yomo and Maulkie with their "Mockingbird" 12". DJ Yella from NWA helped out with the production, 4 different mixes, but none of this is fresh enough to cut it with me, so on with da PG.... Roxannehasa 12" out on Select Records produced by Chubb Rock and Trackmastey. The two tracks pretty hard but Roxanne is held up by the dope beats and doesn't have loo much lyrical wisdom to offer. Alright, now to a coupla' EP's. Planet Rock, the 1982 super-electro hip-hop, uptempo-funk jam by Afrika Bambaalaa and the Soulaonic Force of the Universal Zulu Nation has been reissued ten years after the original, with a whole bunch of remixes. The most notable of the five remixe: DJ Magic Mike's rap tre ment of tha groove and th 808 State techo-mix, bul the iginalis And ya' git da' bonus beats MC Ren of NWA h; got an EP out of his ow Kiss My Black Ass with pro duction done by Bobcat. If yi like NWA's releases after I Cube left the group, you'll lik this. Busy tracks and W< re lyrics in thi i gangsta styl. of the six track: t hardcc ictly i Now we gonna hit the full length releases. First we got Me Phi Me with his release One. This is defintely a college radio crossover record with a whole bunch of acoustic guitar and is strictly wack. And we got no time for that. DJ Quick has got his second on tha streets now for Profile Records called Way 2 Fonky. He's backin' it up with plenty of kick and claps, as is keyboard funk of Parlis and Zapp as it's all ove .Heshouldn'thave albur thi r this reggae r getting slow, but overall this is way 2 Too Short has let loose with album number four straight outta the Oaktown, Shorty the Player. Now here' s another rapper totally into the Parliament keyboard funk. The album is good for the most pan, but it sounds exactly like the last three. He hasn't done anything new for yean now, but if you like Too Short you'll dig this. The bass is boom and the car low as always. The UMC's have a new album out on Wild Patch records called Fruits of Nature. This stuff is very light Kid n' Play-style rap, but not as good (in a pop sense). I guess you gotta have all sorts, but this sort doesn't interest me at all. Yo, somthin' else you might wanna check out is Miles Davis' last album, Doo-Bop, which was put together wit Easy Mo Bee. Definitley on tha hip-hop tip. Rapp crew of tha month goes to lha Bronx niggaz, the Ultramagnetlc MC's, on the strength of their "Make it Happen" 12". I didn't even mention it because it's been out 4 a while and their new LP is due out next month. Closing news, CiTR's DJ Soundwar Chapter III is scheduled 4 tha Spring of 1993 and you can bet il' s gonna be a superslammer! Get it together and make it happen wit your own crew!

Due to some reshuffling, il's been three months since the last thrilling installment, so First up is Front Line Assembly's latest CD Tactical Neural Implant (Third Mind). A big departure for the Vancouver duo. Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, TNI has actual songs influenced by FLA's interest in techno— especially their lighterdance project Intermix—instead ofthe extreme aggro of Caustic Grip (Third Mind). The album is full of melodies, whereas Caustic Grip was over the lop with rhythmic repeti- tiveness. "Final Impact" and their first single "Mindphaser" are superb examples of their latest styles. FLA has also been garnering a lot of attention for the cyberpunk video masterpiece of "Mindphaser", by local Plasma Productions, and has been nominated forthe best alternative video at the Canadian Music Video Awards. Buy this album or die. God Family Country (Dove) by Sucking Chest Wound was originally presented as a live multimedia performance in November '89, released as a 3 cassette limited edition in December of '90, and remixed for CD in February of this year. There are fifteen tracks, of which five each appear under the headings of God, Family and Country, including "Who Shot the Pope" which was on the Death of Vinyl compilation. Each segment starts wilh a heavily sarcastic introduction; for example "Family," where a childlike voice tells us "father punishes us because he loves us." The music is a mixture of jazz, industrial, gospel, disco and heavy metal. This is cheesy and scary at the same time as it points out the combination of banality and horror in the ideals of God, Family and Country. Extremely sly. Also on Toronto's Dove label is PGR's Chemical Bride, a combination of noise and ambient music that is loo loud to be called ambient and too rhythmic to be pure noise. This is pretty heavy on low end distortion but it's not bad, more varience would have made Chemical Bride more interesting. If you're into oppressive music you'll like this, especially the title track with it's rhythmic An excellent compilation has to be Object #5 on Ladd-Frith Records, which includes Dive (ex- Klinik vocalist Dirk Ivens), TAGC and Vox Popull. There's also a spoken word intro by each artist before their respective songs. Some of my faves were Cyrnai s "Friction Song" with it's complicated, catchy motif, De Fabriek's contribution of a pleasant, fuzzed piano melody with some slamming noises, "Speaking in Tongues" by In the Distance, and the ubiquitous Haters tune is quite disturbing—a car crash impact repeated over and over. Object #5 is continuing excellence in experimen tal c< np.L. Cabaret Voltaire's Technology-Western Reworks 1992 (Virgin) is a vaguely tolerable remaking of old tunes which have tons of bass percolations, but everything starts to sound the same after a while. Plus, they've managed to turn the fabulous " I wanl you" into utter drivel; "Sensoria" fares belter as the vocals are kept somewhat. But 808 State should be drawn and quartered for their re-mix of "I want you." A hardcore Cab Voltaire fan would never figure out what this shit actually was. Some things shouldn 'l be re-mixed, how can Kirk and Mallinder sleep at night? In contrast, Laibach's newest, Kapital (Mute), is a sly mix- lureof dance and politics. Laibach are based in Ljubljiana (what used to be Yugoslavia), and are a part of Neve Slowenische Kunst, which was founded in 1984 to work in the area between ideology and art. By 1989, Neve Slowenische Kunst had expanded to embrace film, architecture, design and practical philosophy, alongside original music, painting and theatre. A lot of people have been put off by Laibach's videos of members striding mightily through forests and quickly slapped the "fascist" label on them. Laibach raises questions about mechanization and nationalism and presents them in an ambiguous way. People can't seem to handle topics not put in a black and white manner. This is dance music, but it's without compromise, and it is full of thought and uneasiness—it leaves the listener edgy. A good challenge and recommended. The Cassette Mylhos Alchemy compilation CD (What Next Records) is published by the Nonsequitir Foundation, a non profit audio publishing venture; their address is: P.O. Box 2638, Santa Fe, NM, 87504.USA. They've also published a book of the same name about the underground tape exchange and interviews with it's practitioners. This compilation is suitably off the wall; my faves include the atonal "Grievance" by Daniel Johnston and completely insane "China Pong" by Japan's YximallOO. This is definitely not everyone's cup of Koolaid, bulif you're into experimental, avant-garde stuff, you'll get off on this. Sect is Vancouver's own Mike Victory collaborating with Bruce Young and they have a brand new self-titled cassette. Sect used to be on Spiral Records, but Mike decided to go the indie route. Their latest five song release utilizes more state of the art than before, but it slill keeps their signature minimalist sound. It should be in stores soon. Another local band to watch for is Fourth Man, who haven't released anything yet but they've given me a demo. The songs are well done industrial and belie the fact they don't have a lot of equipment. I'll let you know when they release something. Well, that's enough heart-racing infofor one column. If you wanted to write me, drop me a line QO of Discorder. See you in two months.

(hmmms all around) lisa: Not Safeway. robynn: Chocolate, but a special kind of chocolate—a homemade kind made with sour cream so it's runny inside. My aunt made it for me Valeria: So you slab it and it bleeds? lisa: Angel food cake with sprinkles in the shape of an elephant holding a peanut in its trunk. That was my favorite one that my mum made. Costumes? Valeria: Well, I'm constantly considered to be in costume, and Hallowe'en is the one time of the year I feel normal. I get on the bus and they say "So, what are you?" Um, Hallowe'en treats?...apples. Without razors, lisa: I loved mini Oh Henrys, robynn: Iused to hate Good V Plentys but now I like them, lisa: Once I went as Aunt Jemima, which I find totally embarrassing, in complete black face. And I cried whenmymumwasputtingthemakeup when I stayed at home, so why go out? Valeria: I'd like to go as Zorro one Well, I have a Thanksgiving question—Being vegetarians, do you eat toru turkey moulds? lisa: Nooo. But we always have a big Thanksgiving dinner with ourfriends, and wemake alternative stuff. Uke if you make scalloped potatoes with smoked Gruyere, it tastes like meal, robynn: Bacony! So, that's the dirt on cub but before I let you go I have to tell you about my favorite kind of birthday cake. This one is espe- on and taking it off. It was definitely against my will. Other than that., .once I went to the Venue dressed as a carrot Nobody got it and I was embarrassed and sad. robynn: I stopped al an early age because I figured I got better candy cially great to make for other people and it comes from a party book for kids. I think il's from the Carnival Party section and it goes like this. Buy some white cake mix, enoughforfour round layers—the cheap kind is fine. If you are a made-from-scratch diehard that's your prerogative but this cake is a bit fiddly so I recommend saving your energy. While you're at the store pick up some whipping cream (500mL) and some food coloring in the basic shades: red, blue, green and yellow. When you arrive home, get the cakes baking right away. You will need lo divide Ihe batter into four bowls, add some food coloring lo each bowl and then get them in the pans and in the oven. My preferred colours are pink, purple, orange and green but you can experiment. Once the cakes are out and cooling, you' re ready lo start whipping . Sweeten ihe creamalittle if you like. I've never added that stuff to keep the cream stiff bul if the cake's going to be silting around all evening it might be a good idea. (Do not use Cool Whip.) Then you just stack 'em up and start spreadin'. Put cream or jam between layers for a special treat. Sprinkles on the cake add colour but put them on just before serving—they bleed. Now you just have to keep Ihe secret until you slice the cake. Voila!Listen toyour friends ooohh and aaahh over the beauty of it and then gorge! Exotic versions of this cake can be made with chocolate layers and chestnut cream or any other variation you wish. I gotta go now, I'm drooling on the keyboard. Hope October treats you right and talk to you in December. Cake on!

If we can jump on the bandwagon for a second we'd like to say that we don't want the company of jocks at our local watering hole either. Speaking of said watering hole, the next time Tankhog play it might be a good idea for you, dear readers, to go out and buy a ticket. The band is of the members actually got married just so they could bold a prenuptial benefit gig (a fine mix of fuck bands) to fund a "proper wedding." Better not make anything too official, married couples get less on welfare. In other club news the Na ppy Dugout, 1248 Seymour at Drake (back alley entrance), needs your support.

Sean (hard-working employee) said that it was the hottest selling 7" in the store, and with a price tag of only $3.25 they make it pleasant on the pocketbook. For those of you who yet don't know what Sparkmarker sound like, Fugazi, Greenday, and Phleg Camp are good comparisons. Strong bass, thought provoking lyrics and energetic tunes fuel this 7". Buy it you '11 like it. And while you got your wallet out don't forget to pick up Lung's new 7" out on British label Serial Killer. DEMO REVIEWS Castrated Turnip — Bad Wah Our Bones I haven't smoked any pot today and I'm not feeling particulanly tender ormerciful. Kitimat, where this group is from, is the suicide capitol of B.C....maybe the entire world. One knows why after listening to this band.

CORDOVA Info Line - 688-5351 Hi. Due to sheer boredom [Ihopeit's not lethargy. Ed.], I've decided to change the format of this here column. I probably won't stick to it, I just feel like it. But whadda you care, anyways? "Curse Me" b/w "Replete" Bulimia Banquet This semi-legendary San Francisco band falls slightly short of the mark here, with a slightly directionless punk rock offering. Apparently the band features Dez Cadena of Black Flag but I didn't hear it. The Aside is filled wilh annoying tempo changes that add up to nothing but musical confusion. Maybe that's the point, but to me it's a headache. The B- side's "Replete" is a much better retreat, a good rock tune in a standard alty-rock way. Nothing special overall. (Bulimia Banquet, RO. Box #2852, Los Angeles, CA, 90078, USA. "White Summer**b/w "How Does It Feel To Feel" Chopper This New Haven, Connecticut premier mod-pop band have shed almost all their mod roots and sound to present more of a pure pop sound; sounding more like REM than the Jam. Catchy, harmonic stuff that's worth your attention. The B-side is an obvious cover of an obvious song, I just can't remember who did it (The Creation. Ed.). A slightly psychedelic late '60' s feel. And hey, for all you leftovermods out there, Chopper has a great backlog of pure mod angst tunes that any of you scooter- hoppin' daddies are sure to dig. (Ani- mal-5, RO. Box 2383, Milford, CT, 06460, USA. Estrus Gearbox — 3x7" Various Artists Jeez, after hearing from about six people that the new 3 x 1" box set from Estrus was a pile of musical crap, I actually came away liking it! Besides the standard excellent packaging job (full colour hot-rodesque cover from Coop), you get twelve groups from across the nation dabbling in this box's theme: hot-rod Though there are some obvious embarrassments (Mortals, Nomads—their cover of the Sonics' "BossHoss" simply sucks)the overall garage sounds are a mixture of the Beach Boys/Dick Dale/and Link Wray. Canada's contingent is Calgary' s Huevos Rancheros, whose surfy "Burrito Grande Prix" is the closest I've heard them skirt to that Shadowy Men sound yet. Other cool tracks roar in from Gas Huffer, the Cheater Slicks and Vacant Lot. And of course I must own anything with the Untamed Youth on it, who cross the finish line with the best song of the lot: the ultra-catchy California highway anthem "SS 396." (Estrus, P.O. Box 2125, Bellingham, WA, 98227-2125, USA) The American Scream - 4 song EP Final Conflict Woah. Very hard and very fast ra- zor-Cal-core that's apolitical ball of hatred, bitterness and contempt. And yes, descendants, it's still catchy! Good,truehardcore-mosh-rock that cares. But don't go in blind, these guys are not happy and they let you know that fact, fast. Left wing musical disgust of the USA. (Nemesis/ Crash Course.P.O. Box 5905, Buena Park, CA, 90622, USA.) Split 7" Gorls/Flathead Here'sacoolliltleD.I.Y.,"we-don't- give-a..." platter! The Gorls start things off in a very primitive, guri- sung, jungle garage sound a la, you guessed it, the Gories. A very short tune but they make thei r point. Where The Gorls cut it short, the flipside's feature, Flathead, seem to go on and on. Still a cool punk-garage sound, once again primitive in style and grace, delivering their vomit-like tune admirably. However it did begin to drag by about minute 5. Pressed on cool, bubble gum pink vinyl. (No address!) Hell Beach Party — split 7" Phantom Surfers/Roofdogs An instrumental pack of supreme finesse, starring San Francisco's water sport druids, the Phantom Surfers. Once again they spill more instro- surf intelligence, this time in the form of a Lee Hazelwood cover (!), "El Aguila," and another swanker, thrown in for an extra dash of brilliance, called "Squad Car." The B- side features two from theRoofDogs, a now defunct, early NW instro group who later became the breathtaking Mono Men. Ofthe Roofdog's songs "Cannon Beach" certainly rock s, but as funny as the live version of "Ribbed" might be it still sucks. A fantastic gatefold, full-col or sleeve, and yet another collector of rock and roll must-have. (Demolition Records, P.O. Box 18107, Madrid, 28080, Spain.) Fairlane — 4 song EP Kill Sybil Yet another good band from a great Seattle label. Kill Sybil's soundmixes all sorts of feelings,mood and beats, exercises the Velvet Underground plod on one song, and on others stretches into a chaotic Neil Young mindwarp. The foundation of Kill Sybil is based on a listener-friendly, melodicfolk-punk sound,hence there are moments when the female vocals rise up from the melancholy sound-drive to sound almost like Mark Arm! If the powers that be were everto remake MidnightCow- boy this would be a great soundtrack recording. Oh yeah, cheetah. (eMpTy, P.O. Box 12034, Seattle, WA, 98102, USA.) Kimberley Yodel featuring the Tyrolean for an opinion: a little over produced....And to think. Lung's guitarist used to work at Caper's! Congrats on the fame. (Serial Killer, P.O. Box 2347, Birmingham, England, B23 60S) "Suck You Dry" b/w "Disceplion Pass" Mudhoney Ok, here we go, Mudhoney's major label debut! And it's on 7" vinyl! Yahoo! I don't actually own this babe yet, but my buddy Cryptic Al Wright reviewed il to me over the phone from his Kitsilano townhouse: "Well, Grant, the single's packaging is the first thing that struck me. It's how singles used to be, way back when. Just a white paper sleeve. The label (Reprise/Warner Bros.) is of the old design reminding me of past Reprise artists like Jimi Hendrix and Neil Young". But that's just the packaging, Al, what about the sound?: "Well, Grant, the first song, "Suck You Dry," is a sort of throwback to early Mudhoney Mou italn Boys Here's an interesting find. A friend of mine recently gave this to me because he knew I was "into those old fashioned mini-records." What he gave me was an old 7" of his dad's, who is originally from Kimberley, BC. This is an actual 7" record of songs about Kimberley, BC, set to a waltzy Bavarian yodel backing music. Basically it seems like it's this local guy, M J. Garriott, who sings these dumb songs about Kimberley ("go to Kimberley, it's that yodel-odel-eh-hee-hoo, town for me!"), with the local combo, the Bavarian-esqueTyrolean Mountain Boys. Pretty funny and historically moronic stuff. (Kimberley Records c/o Big Hat Productions, 1461 Nichol Road, While Rode, BC.) "Litany" b/w "Fuck Generator" Lung Wow. Local sonic-noizsters Lung have just released their second 7" on Serial Killer Records of England! An extremely hard-hitting white- out assault; a lil' too much for these whimp ears. Sure there's some melody, just not enough! This industro-chainsaw stuff scares the shit out of me! And how about this Fudge. It's good, very Uno-esque. Except for the modest physical presentation, I can safely say that there are no surprises here." Thanks, Al. (Reprise/WarnerBrolh- ers — I don't know the address, go check Smash Hits.) 3 song Ep Sparkmarker Hey, hey, Sparkmarker finally got their record out! Simply stated, Sparkmarker are young fresh fellows of ihe D.LYTFugazi world scene, and proud ambassadors they are. Sparkmarker play angsl-filled, fast, emotional rock-core that comes off on vinyl with the same intensity as their bve show... GOOD. One also receives the excellent purple package most symbolic of their straight- edged dicks. Besides the purple vinyl, and purple outside sleeve, you also get an inside picture sleeve and purple booklet filled with thought provokin' stories and band facts. And if that ain't all, there's yet another Nardwuar audio snippet. All for 3 bux, zoinks. (Final Notice Records, P.O. Box 1457, Station A, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2P7.) "Laugh of Cry" b/w "I've Heard It AU Before" The Vagabonds Good, fast, punchy MOD rock and roll from Connecticut (again). Catchy choruses and a wild, frantic beat reminds one of the Who or Small Faces. Completely fab. (Animal-5, P.O. Box2383,Milford,CT, 06460, USA.) Special thanks thi s month to Cryptic Al and Bryce Dunn. Keep sending those 7"s to Discorder c/o ME! BYE. HANG IN THERE, BABY! DISCORDER T-SHIRTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON... KEEP A LOOK OUT AT YOUR FAVOURITE CLOTHING RETAILERS OR CHECK OUT THE NOVEMBER ISSUE FOR DETAILS! SHADOW LAND HTflWimNiHiB: © - BEAT HAPPENING You Turn Me On (Sub-Pop) Forget their trendy, low-fi,lovr- rock-gods status, Olympia's Beat Happening have produced one of this year's truly great singles in "Tiger Trap," the first four glorious minutes of You Turn Me On. It's one of those songs that makes you fall in love all over again and has you reaching for a bottle of Muscatel and the rewind button Unfortunately, the trio falls victim to their own popcraft by offering up this "Tender hook of a tiger trap/ Lost on the edge of a treasure map" before You Turn Me On even gets out of the starting gate. The result: while there aremany excellent trackshere (most notably "Noise," "God Send" and "Bury the Hammer") that make this worth listening all the way through, it's "Tiger Trap" that leaves an inescapable, lasting impression. Shawn Conner LAST WILD SONS Heart of the Working Man (9B South) Before he was served a Havohne cocktail with a knuckle twist, the late Bobby Fuller (accompanied by the Bobby Fuller Four) made records that authentically reflected his music as played in a Hve environment In the dark, phony period of American mid-sixties pop (doo-wop idols, and such). Fuller recorded inside a self- imposed strait-jacket; no overdubs, no instrumentation outside his own musiaans'capabilities.thatworewell when it came time to put up or shut up Fuller's beliefs haven't been lost on Vancouver's Last Wild Sons. Anything they can do in the clubs and roadhouses ultimately ends up on Heart ofthe Working Man. The thrust outfront shared by the Muiphy brothers accounts for most of the CD's best moments. Alternating between Gene's rock rasp and Darren' s country tenor, the Murphys embellish eighteen songs with chops by the case tot. From the Flamin' Groovies sweep heard on "Gotta Go To Work," Gene's acidic slide work in "I Do These Things," to the Blaster-like atuck of "True Rocker," the Sons answer all ques- and tell no lies about how they really sound. Ironically, the Sons' willingness to leave things "as is" proves to be a drawback sometimes. Some of the songs could benefit from streamlined arrangements and a little restraint that could turn good songs into great singles. It's eighteen selections, seventy minute running time and sheer relentlessness make Working Man the aural equivalentof drinking a case of Extra Old Stock in one sitting. That's okay though. You've gotta get fucked up once in awhile. Rob Harrison JESUS UZARD Lhr (Touch 'n' Go) "Holy hit factory, Batman, this new Jesus Lizard album sure is a scorcher!" "Right you are, Robin, if it look the chill right out of Captain Cold, just think of what it could do to the rest of the criminal elite here in Gotham City." "I can only wait and wonder, "Absolutely, Robin." Bryce Dunn THROWING MUSES Red Heaven (Slre/Wea) You won't catch me writing a bad review of a Throwing Muses record. Remaining Muses Kristen Hersh and David Narcizio could release an album of INXS covers and I'd find something to like about it—"Sweet Jesus, listen to that vocal phrasing in "Suicide Blonde"!" Fortunately, Red Heaven features no covers, just plenty of original Hersh compositions. It also represents another step forward for the decade old band, proving that any new release from the Muses should be hailed as a major event. Hersh is gifted with one of the most unique and visionary talents in music today. Bleak and funny, her lyrics explore the thin line between the perverse and mundane, the sacred and profane; between love and hate and heaven and earth. For example: "You' re furious/I never taught you to sing" ("Furious"); That sheet metal sound next door is keeping me awake/ Jank's eyes are open and my feet are killing me" ("Dio">, "When the ground starts shaking/ Watch the gifts inside your home"("The Visit"); "Let's just say it crawled across the snow/ It tooks like your left hand" ("CamivalWig").Whichlooks good on paper but could be pretty boring if the music wasn't so strong. "Dio" (with artful backup vocals from the Mouldman himself), "Furious" and "The Visit" tunefully rock with the scornful humour that marks Hersh's best work. If I have a complaint it's with the soft middle: "Pearl"and"SummerStreet"are sorely in need of ex-Muse Tanya Donnelly's melodic guitar arabesques. But that's a minor quibble when the rest of the album is as good as this. Already, I can hardly wait for their next record, rumoured to be a collection of Hersh's grocery lists accompanied by a seventeen-piece orchestra. DANZIG How the Gods Kill (Def Amerlcan/WEA) It seems that my weakened de- summered sense of reality has caused me to react to this album in quite an unexpected fashion. Has my mind become so desperate for anything remotely lighthearted that even the ever so evil Danzig causes me to tilt my head back and laugh? Sure looks that way. Certainly the cover by renowned Alien artiste, H.R. Giger, is intimidating, even foreboding, but the sounds beneath this cold harsh exterior only impress my funny bone. The only sense of awe I get from How the Gods Kill is in considering what form of eternal damnation Glen Danzig (in all his power) would inflict on me upon reading this review. Sure, there's nothing like a mellow tune regarding lonely harbours of evil in the voice of a man missing Vegas lounges by inches. And who could pass up an album who's songs blend in similarity as well as a pack of unsacrificed lambs. To translate for you music experts—or non-music experts: it sounds like a cheap demo. To translate for you tv buffs: where's the bass? CMX Veljeskunta (Bad Vugum) RADIOPUHEUMET Plan, Plan (Bad Vugum) GENERATORS Fake (Spirit Label) So do you think the Brown's could get suckered into giving a good review of CMX's new vinyl release, Veljeskunta, just becasue the Bad Vugum press kit quotes the Brown's Discorder review of their 1990 album Kolmikarki...he\\ yes, and for a cup of coffee we'll do more. Truthfully though A.W. Yrjana (you can figure out the pronunciation yourself. Hint: supposedly there is a phonetic similarity between Finnish and Japanese, would I lie?), a former university theology and philosophy student, has managed to rally his cohorts to produce yet another mas- CMX.theself-describedspeed- jazz-core maniacs, are the next best thing to our own NoMeansNo. Sha- manistic chants, punk trash, glam rock, and pop all pop up in CMX's intricately dizzying arrangements. There are no straight paths here, musical indirectness is the rule with enough pace and style change to make you giddy, yet they never leave or lose their way. Perfect mu sic for weenie regimens. Absolutely delicious. Radiopuhelimet on the other hand is pure unadulterated Finnish hardcore in the tradition of Tenet Kadet. Gloriously harsh and able to strip the enamel off your espresso cup. Plan, Plan never feels dull or derivative. Radiopuhelimet provides the perfect musical background for that postapocalyptic rhumbs line you've always dreamed about. The final element in this Finnish hat trick are the five Finns who call themselves The Generators. Their new LP Fake displays that same irresistable funk-punk attitude that made the Red Hot Chili Peppers so much fun before they traded their socks for commercial endorsements. Lyrically The Generators are very funny (they sing in english which helps). Who can beat songs with titles such as "Like A Fat Vegetarian"or"Eurocentric Sausage"? Very happy making Peter (one of th* Browns) Sickert AMIDENIO Birthing Chair Blues (Spoot/Knittlng Factory Works) Ami Denio is a curiosity. Her music isn't quite jazz nor quite pop; she dabbles in the industrial and flirts with minimalism. Her music is everything familiar yet nothing definable. The only comparison that seems to stick is to Merideth Monk in her more playful and experimental moods. Birthing Chair Blues is full of surprises and unexpected twists and turns. The music takes a serendipitous path from the industrially tainted and dark "Apocalypso" to the Brechtian lament of "Dishwasher." Denio's odd sense of composition creates thick layers of sound that allow for continual discovery. Her sly sense of humour permeates her work in a downright subversive way. Certainly a very fine piece of work from a very cool cat- Peter Sickert moFO's psYchosopic So begins another journey into the weird and wonderful (to me, anyway) world of obscure albums. Yours truly has happened on a veritable cornucopia of treasures amongst the trash. No theme this month, just wacky wax from around this town. Begin the Psychosonic Psixpack!!! Planlasia - Warm earth music for plants (and the people who love them) — Mort Garson (Homewood) I'm not much of a plant guy. Some say I have a black thumb. I have killed literally scores of plants, which is why nobody's very eager to have me look at their plants, let alone care for them. So I can't vouch for the growth inducing properties of this LP, although the mildew covering the sleeve seems to be doing fine. Lotsa laffs at Mort's expense to be found in the concept alone, with songs like "Symphony For a Spider Plant," "Swingin' Spathiphyllums,""Mu- 26 £li__2^o___Tj^_"* Sooth the Savage Snake Plant," and a half dozen others. Basically cheap synthesizer noo- dling from some flakey new-ager for a seventies fad that lasted about as long as pet rocks did. Cheezability Rating: 85 (flake appeal) Swingin Bach Guitar! - Franz Loftier & Pierre Favre (Polydor) Whoa, dad! We're rocking now! The Bachmeister done a gogo sty le, rocking your booty from the heart of rock Vroll...Munichl! Contains blister-raising songs like "Bach's Bag," "Bachomania," "Lullaby of Bachland," and my fave, "Ping Pong for Bach Bugs"! Many guitar dubs over limp drums. It's Bach, man, how good d'you think it's gonna be? Cheezability Rating: 80 (Bach is still spinning over this onel) Grover Sings the Blues -5 Street (Pickwick) Man, the blooz ain't not hin' but a good blue emaciated gangly, < mammal, I think, feeling bad. And Graver's howlin' makes John Lee, Lightnin' and Howlin' Wolf ashamed of their own bad selves. Late night whiskey guzzlin', lollypoppin'-yer-shotgun kinda blooz from tha master. Cheezability Rating: 95 (100 for "Has Anybody Seen My Dog?") Bobby Sherman (Metromedia) Worth finding for the song "Seattle" alone, this song was sadly missed from the soundtrack of Singles. The cover photo of Bobby is priceless, too. From the liner notes: "Born under Leo, the sign of entertainment [News to me.- Mofo], Bobby's planets must be in just the right place these days" and "it couldn't happen to a nicer guy." The quotations are theirs, not mine. Fanclub address: P.O. box 890, Radio City Station, Noo Yawk, Noo Yawk, 10019. And listen folks, we're trying to encourage you to stop sending Bobby meat through the mail, okay? Cheezability Rating: 90 Tom Jones Live in Las Vegas • Tom Jones (London) Not to be confused with the 235 other live in VegasLPs that are out, Jonesy suffers from less than perfect recording on this one. This is the SECOND live LP that has a cover of "Danny Boy" on it (the Sonny and Cher Live LP I mentioned a few months ago had it as well)! However there is a version of "Hard to Handle" that makes the Black Crowes look like a dirtbag southern bar band, which is coin- cidentally what they are. Yes, "It's Not Unusual" is on it. Fanclub address: GPO Box 2671, Noo Yawk, Noo Yawk, 10001. Panties encouraged. Cheezability Rating: 100 Thee Pick O' The MOnth Mission Earth (Songs by L. Ron Hubbard) - Edgar Winter (Rhino) This is the first CD I'm review- o' ThE mopTh ing, and, although I don't usually do CDs, this is a special case. L. Ron Hubbard is the God of the pyramid scheme—masquerading as religion in The Church of Scientology. If you are not familiar with them, imagine an entire religion of people with the personality of Ross Perot, whose main tool of worship is the lie detector. I did not know that L. Ron wrote music as well as being a writer, philosopher, inventor, financial whiz, God, and scam artist. Busy guy- I was totally overwhelmed with excitement when I found this one! The songs are from his ten- volume science fiction novel of concept LP. Curious about this God/songwriter, I called them up; the person who answered almost cut me off, but after some persuasion I was shipped over to some- onemore familiar with the Hubster. She told me that there were a group of musicians called the Golden Era Musicians who made tapes of . music for "the Church." You can get them through Bridge Publications, 4751 Fountain Ave., Los Angeles.CA, 90029. She said they were "awesome," as were the books. Just how "awesome" is it? WeU, the fact that Edgar Winter, pop/rock has-been and avowed scientologist, is on it should tell you it's a tough listen. Poppy, overproduced spacey nonsesnse if you ask me. For a songwriter, Hubbard makes a great god. Cheezability Rating: 100 (curiosity value alone) Once again it's time for me to leave some space for real writers and hit the sales. Next month, soundtrax from hell . . . maybe. Oh yeah, the first person to write me and tellm t speci will win a Kiss solo album! Mail 'em to CITR. okay? Oop, gotta go, my engrams are scrambled III Drive Like Jehu Jack Feels Fine The Cruel Elephant Thursday 27, August "OKpeople,focus.People..POCUS, Thankew. Here's the scene: you're in a bar, a bar. You're in a dark, dark bar. A dark, dark, smoky bar. The crowd i s alternative, you are alternative. That's the part you play, that's the part we're paying you for, being alternative. This means that some of you will be i tough, some of you will be bored, and some of you will be when you shout it out. At this point in elw gradually stop dancing and progress to an awed state.

PLACES EVERYONE!" things. OK.nowfol- low me people, we have to show Rik and Tammi a good time, that is the purpose of this scene, you'll know what I mean in Darryl, bring out Rik and Tammi! Everyone, as you can see by their upscale appearance, the plot of this scene is to scare them. During the first band, Jack Feels Fine, you will all be fairly happy. Some of you will be picked out to randomly bump into and bum cigarettes ofl" of Rik and Tammi, spumed on by the hostile dirge that Jack Feels Fine first master then dwell upon. You know, you're feel ing angry and you 're feel ing numb and...oh, just full of snot! Yet friendly...because you're drunk. You all look great by the way. Jane, over in wardrobe to the left there, has some t-shirts she'd like you to put on. Oh kay, the crowd is angry, the bands are angry...people, just bear with me people, they are danceable too. You're not all going to get to stand around and scareRikandTammi, some of you will be up here and dancing, there's enough people here to get a good solid sea of bobbing heads. Some of you are dancing, OK, you're doing the local hero footstomping thing for Jack and the boys, and then some more of you come up to the front for Drive Like Jehu. Don't forget the pronunciation They Might Be Giants Commodore Ballroom Sunday 6, September I was stoked for this one. I had been waiting for three years to see these two Johns and their wacky musical stylings. I came in to find that the Young Fresh Fellows were opening which was even cooler since I had not yet seen one of the northwest's few decent original bands. They, of course, got the joint moving with their any- thing-goes party music. TMBG cameonreasonably early (since the Liquor Nazis decree- bars must be closed by midnight on the day of the Sabbath), starting off with "Apollo 18," an odd instrumental from the newest LP, followed by the bouncy "Anna Ng" from the Lincoln LP. The band sounded terrific, featuring large amounts of woodwinds substituting for the band's weird samples that appear on their albums. They played flawlessly. I suspect most of the crowd had only heard "TheStalueGot Me High," the single ofl" the new album, because there weremany perplexed looks from the crowd when they played their weirder stuff like "32 Footsteps" and "Boat of Car". Some disappointments: they sold out of Fezzes and not many people danced with their dates (facrissakes! not many bands this cool that play good dancing type tunes come out here this often, so K would be nice if some of you clued in!). Some cool things: they played "Bil lie Jean" AND "Frankenstein." Some pissoffs: the assholes who pushed into me, yelling "Play Sabbath!" and the losers who wanted to start a slam pit (getta grip!). But all in all, a great show! Mofo The C/Z Indian Summer New Music Festival Moses Lake, WA. Saturday 12, September Like butter, all forecasts for this festival predicted smooth sailing. With a roster of 18+ bands, all of them hard working and respected independents from the northwest region, including: Tiny Hat Orchestra, My Name, Treepeople, Seaweed, Truly, Blackhappy—save for any Canadian talent(?)—the stage was set for adawn 'til way-past-dusk event of legendary proportions. However, somebody forgot to tell the promoter and the weatherperson that this was going to require a I ittle cooperation and further the smaller, enclosed, and acoustically superior stage were old school p«_:ersMoralCnix.WhileDRLMDC, Agent Orange and Gang Green have either broken up or traded their talent for a slot in the new school hardcore genre—and they don't do it very well, I might add—Moral Crux play the politically motivated punk of old with a sincerepassion.lt why this band has had/will Traditionally, the term Indian Summer implies an unusually warm autumn so when temperatures plummeted below 0°C with the wind chill a lot of people caught wearing shorts and t-shirts were surprised and cold!— the afternoon did start out as sunny and mild without a cloud in the sky. Luckily, there was warmth to be found fortheresourceful:huddlinginacrowd (body warmth), standing by the concessions (propane barbeques), or going back to the car (healer). Those few brave and hardy souls who weathered the length of the festival frrob- ably caught a lot of cool stuff (colds?), but if the last 4 hours were anything like the first 9 maybe they should've went home when I did. We arrived at the Grant County Fairgrounds shortly after 1:00 PM, already two hours late and four bands deep into the roster, to a very nonchalant security gate: "Oh, I'm with (band name here)" and "If you're taking in beer all we require is you give us one and keep it out of sight from the sheriff were familiar entrance tactics. Believe me, a lot of people used them and a lot of people therefore got away with murder. The sheriff, however, wasn 't quite as nonchalant with the felons as watching them confiscate and pour out alcohol at a waterfall pace was a common sight. Anyways, Imij was onstage as we nestled ourselves into the grass, removed from the steadily increasing throngs of people, and they sounded good. Good for a band roosted on top of a flatdeck semi-trail er in the middle of an open field with acoustics consisting of grass blades and the downy breasts of passing birds. To play on the larger of the two stages this was the sacrifice that all the bands offered...sound! The first band that we saw on girls, booze and tarnished relation- 8:00 PM, the sun had long been down, and the Best Kissers took to the stage in a caffeine buzz mood that made us all forget about how cold it really was. "Do you guys like free stuff?" was the first question out of their mouths and before we could answer a shower of Best Kisser's CDs rained down upon the heads of the crowd. It's fortunate that so many people got to take e their Sub Pop release that evening be- following throughout humble existence. A pleasant surprise for festival goer. After a couple hours of stroll- ing the grounds and dining on oomdogs, German sausages with 'kraut, and curly fries we convened at the large stage for what we thought would be a rousing set from Gnome. In contrast to their opening slot for the Afghan Whigs thisyear at the Cruel Elephant, Gnome were pathetically boring as they fumbled through a set all the while asking themselves why indeed they were playing this buttfest? Gnome went through the paces, and agreed it was cold out, but few others made it so obvious to the crowd that they would rather not be playing. This was a cue I acted my indifference upon and therefore took a stroll to catch Voodoo Gearshift on the smaller stage. Iowa's Voodoo Gearshift are definitely a band worth driving across a state to see. I fust stumbled onto this band about two years ago, from a friend whom I migrated out to the coast with (Thanks Pukka! Oh yeah, welcome home Tim.), and thankfully Voodoo Gearshift are still at it They have a new album due out in November and you could do yourself a big favour by adding it to your collection. With a unique version of that start- stutler-stop approach to hardcore, VG spit out a Grade A pieceof fried gristle into the eyes of the Melvins, Jesus Lizard, and Amphetamine Reptile Records. Banking on no-frills, no- gimmick, no-guitar-wank feedback and a bluntly intense musical capacity this trio drop the clutch at every given opportunity. This is a must sec/must hear act who could wipe snot on their sleeve and still make sissy s out of all the longhaired noisesters on the scene At this point we should have left Moses Lake and let Voodoo Gearshift live on, upon reflection of this trip, as the hallmark. Unfortunately, against better judgement, we stuck around. In retrospect, leaving would have been the smart thing to do, however the reason we went to the C/Z Festival was to see the Best Kissers in the World. This is a group of guys who.singlehandedly.haveputthefun back into power pop—not done since the early days of the Replacements— with their high school boy charm and adolescent approach to writing about weresorudely kicked off the stage X they only had thcopportunity top!ay6 songs from their forthcoming MCA release. That's right...*iot__ off the stage! By ahorrifically unoriginal Seattle band by thename of SlamSuzanne, nonetheless. Why this band was permitted to musically masturbate on stage for 15 minutes is anybody's guess but this was the final straw as far as we were concerned. After having driven 6+ hours to get to this festival, needless to say, we turned our tails upon C/Z, Moses Lake and its sad excuse for a music festival and started on our long journey home. The bright side to this whole story is that is wasn't in Seattle or Vancouver because then we'd have a lot people walking around asking, "Hey, did you go to the C/Z Festival? Wasn't it awesome?". Yeah.right. And you just went to see Ministry, right. Paul t. Brooks Love Battery Cruel Elephant Thursday 17, September By the time I reached the ominous Elephant, the wee hours were hot on my tail. Therefore, all you avid readers, please excuse my sketchy outline of a show seen through rest-deprived The festivities began by shutting the heavy front door behind me, escaping a rush of cold wind for one filled with smoke and gossip. Due to my frequent trips down south and too much MuchMusic, I felt right at home in the sparse gathering. Flashes of plaid and oil resistant soles! Love Battery were pleasant. Far those of you who can only speak Seattle, I'd say their style falls somewhere bet ween the Lone Bone and the N-band. Nothing too harsh but grimy (or i s it cheetah?), just the same. They were more than the usual background music most clubs seem to provide these days. Although their set length seemed to crawl like a wounded slug, I' m sure it was all in my less than agile mind. Anyway, Love Battery were the type of slug I wasn't tempted to toss Comet™ on. Overall, an enjoyable expe- ience that left me with only the usual bevy of questions. Why do practically all the waitresses glare at me as if I was the ne who squished wet gum into the ashtray and ID me when all I order is a Coke? The mystery Front Line Assembly 88th SL Friday 18, September Front Line Assembly should put out an aerobics video: vocalist Bill Leeb would be the bouncing instructor, keyboardist Rhys would demonstrate the Fulber hop,and percussionist Chris Peterson would lead the viewers in his human piston exercise. Okay, okay, that's a bit silly, but it illustrates the point that just because FLA uses keyboards it doesn't mean they're a bunch of techno wimps; far from it. The aggression count was through the roof and the crowd re sponded; the energy flowing between the crowd and the stage was palatable. I was worried a lot of trendoids would be a drawback because of the Club 1040 Ihing, but they were bludgeoned into submission by madly moshing teenage males on testosterone highs. Thesixteen stacked colourTV's at the rear of the stage added a lot of energy with their well edited, fast paced imaging. It mirrored the hectic pace of the music excellently. The stereotype of electronic musicians pushing a button to start a tape with all the music on it was also dispelled: the songs, (mostly from their latest release Tactical Neural Implant), were very different from the recorded versions. And Bill, while drumming, let slip a huge, contented smile because Front Line Assembly got the local they deserve.

After a hot EP on the renowned Creation Label (the label that sprung The Jesus and Mary Chain. My Bloody Valentine. Ride and others unto the worid) comes the debut album trom Medicine.
