Freddie The Gangstrr Free Church of the Daydream Delta So what ■> COOL'S ETERNAL BUT ITS ALWAYS DATED I'm writing in response to Andrew McKay's review of The Cows concert at The Dugout. Mr. McKay says "A big step (for the Cows) would be opening for 35 people at a club, instead of headlining a garage for 30." What the hell is so great about playing clubs'7 The whole purpose of clubs is to exploit music in order to sell alcohol. What kind of enviroment is that for a band to play in? Mr. Mckay' s kind of attitude is what's killing independent music. Clubs shouldn't exist, they are just leeches on the music scene. If the philosophy that clubs are better wasn't so prevalent maybe all the all-ages venues wouldn't have to be Rec. Centers or "garages". I keep hearing people talk about a new "Cruel Elephant'. fuck that, how about a place where everybody can go to enjoy music for the sake of music. Thank goodness there' s bands like Sparkmarker out there who ready support the scene by only playing all-ages gigs Wozzie Burnaby. B.C. YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU WRITE Dear Airhead. Re: Vancouver Special.

(Say, didn't you guys get a total of 18 responses to your last readers poll? Out of a disthbu- uon of 20,000?) Yours in Astounding Matu- D.J Jansen Port Coquitlam P.S. Am I now your enemy? When a person writes or, better yet, starts their own 'zine they open themselves up to a lot of personal crilcism which can sometimes be hurtful; not realizing this, when pouring out your most l of thoughts to x amount of readers, would be a naive and audacious oversight. Discorderij above vendettas and, therefore, everything that is said in a revit is intended to be valuable or co structive criticism. Like a row: maker, whomever, a writer 'sfet ings are hurt when a reader does not interpret said writer's work in the way that it is intended. This is a tough transition to make (writer to reader) and when it is made that writer will be given credit where credit is due. Oh, by the way, Kim's "Get a life" comment was in response to Lucifer's disgruntlement over the fact that the Cruel Elephant had closed and he no longer had a place to, I quote, "pick up cool alternative babes." If that is the mind from which, in your opin ion, cool writing oozes from then maybe you should just save yourself some time and start reading Penthouse Letters. And, yes, we did get 18 responses to our readers poll but we didn't write everybody who bitched about our output. PS. Only if you want lo be. PRIDE NO LONGER HAS DEFINITION Dear Airhead. First, it's nice to see that you 'intellectual university types" have to resort to using the words like "fuck" and "fucking" to reply to my letter. Where did you grow up? Whalley ? Tell me, what's it like to driving a '74 Camero? Second, while I currently live in New York, Don't assume I'm American. I'm more Canadian than you'll ever be. (My collection of Stompin Tom records will attest to that). Anyway. I know the V.S. has problems, so does Canada, and so does Discorder Magazine. If you would've READ my original letter, you would've realized I was offering a SOLUTION to your inability to deliver your magazine to PAYING subscribers in a timely fashion. Perhaps this is why the U.S. is in such bad shape, people with IDEAS on how to IMPROVE things are IGNORED by the people who make the decisions I guess in a way YOU AT DISCORDER are just like the U.S. government. Good feeling eh! Paul Guzyk New York, New York Where the "fuck" is Whalley9 Whether you are American or Ca nadian is inappurlenant (university word) lo this whole matter You live in America and, therefore, you are part of the system whose Presidents have supplied arms to third world countries instead of proper schooling and medicine, baifon the dinner tables of esteemed world leaders and in fluence terrorism (remember the Gulf).

The pieces range from single panel "comics" describing the lifesto- ries of Carl Panzram, Jack Black and Box Car Bertha, to glorious (in a manner of speaking) full color paintings depicting Coleman and the world as he sees it. The honor of Coleman's subjects are best caught in the color pieces where virtually everyone is deformed or maimed in some way.

Here's a couple i i't blow your nose or your whole face could on starters. Ami I was healthy ,apps © Nardwuar Who are you ? My name is John Ginoli and I was born in Peona, Illinois in 1959.1 grew up in the central part of Illinois which was pretty Republican. I lived in Champagne, Illinois until 1988. Champagne is a college town which is an oasis among the cornfields. Actually, I like the Midwest. I don't have any bad things to say about it. Except Indiana is perhaps the very worst state in the whole country; there is absolutely nothing in Indiana worth mentioning Indiana's in Ihe Midwest so I should maybe take back what I said. I didn't really mind where I came from. I left Illinois because I wanted to do musical work. I actually work for a record distributor here, which I couldn't do back there, and there are a lot more guys out here! Anyway, then I moved to Los Angeles Thankfully, I escaped from there to San Francisco in 1989.1 have been here ever since. And you're the lead guitar player in Pansy Division! Yes, and I also write most of the songs and sing them. Who else is in Pansy Division? Chns Freeman who is from Seattle originally From Aberdeen! He lived all over Washington state: Coolie Dam, Aberdeen, Centralia, I think. He plays bass and sings. Our drummer is David Ward. He grew up about forty miles east of San Franasco in a place called Danville out in the 'bums. When did Pansy Division form? The end of 1991. What is the average age of the band? About thirty. Are Pansy Division the first pro-sex, pro-safe-sex, all-queer punk rock V roll band ever? As tar as I know, at least as far as it goes for men. There are other bands that might fit in that category who are women, like Tribe 8 who seem to have come along at the same time that we have I've always liked music that isn't usualy associated with being queer. As I said earlier, Pansy Division are blazing a new trail the likes of which the rock world has never seen before... That could very well be true. ...especially in rhymes! The rhymes in your songs are amazing: "known" and "blown," "pick-up truck" and "boy fuck," "thick" and "dick," "kicks" and "dick," "stick" and "lick," "locks" and "cock," "socks" and "cocks," "nuts" and "butts." And my favourite rhyme of all: "tuxedo" and "pink torpedo." Well, it looks like you've been reading our lyric sheets very closely! Never before have those rhymed so nicely in rock. Well, I have to tell you that the last one, "tuxedo" and "pink torpedo," was stolen from Spinal Tap. That's a Spinal Tap song that we do. I guess bands with great rhymes inspire out now. K Records used to sell that through mail order. The people who do the Kill Rock Stars label are also based in Olympia and they heard our cassette there. They called us up and said they really loved our band and would we like us to be on this compilation. They asked us if we would contnbute a song and we did. What was the response to the first Pansy Division cassette? I guess no Judy Garland fans bought it. The big surpnse to me was how many people who were into Judy Garland liked it. I thought the band, pnmanly, would be something that people who were younger and gay would be interested in. I'm thirty-three and I came out in Champaign, Illinois dunng the '80s. So, even though I came out dunng the big disco thing in the late 70s and '80s, I was shielded from all that. There was a generational thing: the post-disco gays and the dtsco-penod gays. The disco-era gays tend to be into Judy Garland and tend to be a little bit older than. A lot ol the people from that period who I thought would really hate Pansy Division have really got into it, so it was a nice surprise. How did that first cassette sell? Thousands of cop- Have you thought up any knew rhymes, recently, i ies? Hundreds of copies? since Undressed? j A couple hundred copies, mostly around San Franasco.

Actually, it a little tut of research I'll find some more. You'll just have ' started in Canada, really, with the JDs and that crowd of to wail for the next record. people in Toronto There are a lot ol queer erotic 'zines Hew Uusic Express reviewed your record and gave Pansy Division a rating of 100! I was really pleased. The reason that happened was because I sent a CD ot the album to a specific wnter who actually did end up writing a review. His nameis Stephen Wells who, even though he is straight, often challenges bands in interviews about their homophobia. He did this amazing interview with the Happy Mondays about a year ago in which they were just spewing all sorts of homophobic BS. Hejust pnnted it and said, "You people are full of it!' A lot of the time I think journalists just let this kind of stuff slide by. Stephen Wells, though, really attacks people and shows them for what they are. So I thought he would be a good person to address the CD too, and it turned out good for us. Actually, the guy who runs our label went to England when the review came out. All the indie shops in London had our record and a week later, when the review came out, almost none of them did. They were all sold out. That made me feel good. It's is interesting how people react to the cover of your record. Who is that on the sleeve? My friend Alex. We sometimes use go-go dancers, he's one of them. He's lying naked in a field of pansies. Yes. My friend's mom said, "Where did you get that S JPi?^O©0g©& ©IIBV LkO^c if ^^[jMii.9© ®rMJJk§0^®ifi)d)©B Th® ^ ©CD ti On® fnfl[rwii¥@s! @@Dffi®tto® m l&%® fc®f (ptiir^^^taj®}! : [fa uTO JT@t£® (<" *4*i %& So are Tribe 8 a sort of female equivalent to Pansy Division? Ha ha. No, they're fairly different, actually. They're fnends of ours. We're mutually supportive. Who is the anti-Pansy Division? I've had several gay men tell me that we are the anti-Romanofski and Phillips. Do you know who they are7 They are kind of a goofy, lightweight, gay folk-rock duo. We've described as that. They've been around and have put out some records. I don't really know their stuff too well. Was there anybody before you who sort of hinted at the stuff that you're doing now in rock 'n' roll? I mean, it's really neat that you're going in water that has never been tread before? Was there anybody who laid the groundwork for Pansy Division? Yes, but there have been people (Lou Reed especially) who have done things that were gender bending and of a musical relevance too. It seems like a lot of the people who laid the groundwork for us were dabbling. Either they weren't gay, they were afraid to say they were gay, or they were making a pose so that they could gel people excited and turned on and inflamed. So my doing this band, starting this band, is, to a large degree, due to the fact that everybody else who has come before us has pulled back at some level and refused to come out or said, "Oh, I'm really bi" or "That was just a phase." I am not in a phase; I've been like this as far as I can remember. It's just singing about what comes naturally to me whereas other people sing about what comes naturally to them. Did the Village People ever say they were gay? Sure. There have been other gays in music, Jimmy Somerville and people like Sylvester and the Village People, but they pnmanly play dance or disco stuff which doesn't interest me very much. It never really did. I used to be pretty antagonistic towards it but now I've kind of mellowed out and feel that if people want to listen to that then that's fine. The thing that would bother me is that because I am gay it was always assumed by other gay people that I had to like that stuff. Well, I'm sorry but I don't. So I just wanted to make this space for myself, musically, because 12 TS@&§nS£u£\ that do erotic stories and stuff, and ones that wnte So what is wrong with Judy Garland anyway? After articles and review things, so I sent every magazine that all, she's dead! I could a copy of the cassette hoping that we would get That is actually one of the problems: the fact that Judy some reviews or some people to like us. The word of Garland is omnipresent. She is dead, true. I don't have mouth started happening.... anything against Judy Garland per se except that she has been rammed down my throat ever since I came oi Why? Because she is a gay figurehead. The Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 happened right around the time that Judy Garland died. She was a figurehead, role model, for gays of that era but that era was so long ago that her relevance to me has really diminished. To me she represents the kind of gay scene that was very closeted, very sad, and very tragic. I'm well adjusted and positive about life and I don't feel any connection to that old sort of tragic gay existence. Times have improved. Things have moved on. And Judy Garland references abound everywhere. See a gay movie. Read a gay magazine. Judy Garland is everywhere. Get over it. Judy Garland is ancient history. I first heard Pansy Division on the Stars Kill Rock compilation on which you guys contributed the incredible song "Bunnies." How did you get involved in that project? Before we had an album out we had a cassette which had some of the songs that are on the album/CD that is record? That's pornography!" Did you have any trouble getting the record printed? As a matter of fact, yes. We had every format done in a different place. The people who did the CD had no problem with it but the people who did the album, somewhere in Alabama, were freaked out. They don't like seeing cocks? Yes and it's a soft cock. There's no sexual activity going on in the picture, it's just a picture of a naked guy lying in a field of flowers. That's it. And they said it was obscene. That's Alabama for you. And you have to turn the record over in order to see the soft cock! I know. So it you're looking at a CD in the store you can't see it anyway; you can't see it on the cassette. But, of course, you can see it on the album cover. I have a great story about that. For some reason our record is selling well in Japan—there's been a lot of interest for Pansy Division over there— but Japan is even sicker than America in terms of uptight sexuality. Three times, exporters that I know have sent the record into Japan and customs have refused to let it into the country. They say that they will either ship it back to you at your expense or they will destroy the copies, so they destroyed the copies. To get around this someone else I know has taken white-out to all of the offending parts on the album cover on the shnnk wrap. And on the CD booklets, which you can't see from the outside of the CD cover, they've opened the CDs and whited out the willie in order to get it into Japan. This istheoame country that gave us Rapeman comics. What bullshit. How did you end up on Lookout Records? Don't you work for Dutch East India Trading Company ? That's true, I work for Dutch East but their offices are in New York. I'm a west coast rep. The people who work at Dutch East didn't like us that much to put us out. I'm kind of glad they didn't at this point. Lookout is based in the Bay Area and I like the idea of having our label here to call up and meet with all the time. Were they afraid of you? I think the guy who made the decisions just didn't like us well enough. When you're an independent label signing bands you have to be excited about the bands you're putting out because there really isn't a lot of reward in many ways. The reason why we signed with Lookout was because they were very generous with royalties— they're a low-budget label. They don't add on a lot of expenses to deduct from royalties; they're pretty much basic. They put it out and it is going to either sink or swim by itself. They aren't going to spend a lot of money promoting it. They do the basics and then "You're on your own, kid." One thing I like about them is that they still put out 45s and vinyl LPs. Some of the other labels we were talking to either put out CDs and cassettes or just CDs. I'm a vinyl person myself, still. I have a CD player, but records are cheaper. I still buy records. Year Bitch, Tribe 8, Bikini Kill and the Lucy Stoners. You mentioned that, there was a bit of a problem with the little bit of cock on the cover to Undressed, but on "Bill and Ted's Homosexual Adventure," the cover is, let me say, a bit more racy. Yes, you see them actually having a homosexual adventure on the cover. We rather like that picture. Now, was there any trouble getting that printed? That one wasn't done at a pnnter, it was done on a high quality Xerox™machine. It was done by a friend having access to that machine. So it didn't have to go through the same process as our album. What's going on on the back of the single? That's actually a picture taken at Gilman Street when we played there. Some of our dancers were with us that night. One of the guys from the audience was reaching up to touch the butt of one of our dancers, who was wearing a jock strap at the moment, and the other dancer is trying to wave his hand away. It's a pretty funny picture because the person touching the butt was a famous Bay Area personality: Marshall Stax, a radio show host for KALX. Has K. Cobain heard your Queer Spirit"? I know he has by now. One of the stores that I talk to Your shows are pretty wild then! You have go-go of "Smells Like dancers? Sometimes. We play a lot and the go-go dancers are saved for the big shows or times when we have a big Like in Japan ? Yeah. And there's also the matter of the work permit thing. Just Lie! There's a certain way to lie. I realize you just can't lie, you have to have it organized. So I think the next time we go up and play Seattle we'll try to get up to just have to use your imagination, and a song called "Groovy Underwear," which explores Ihe many types. Thats a few tidbits of what's coming up. Any songs about leather, lace or macrame? No. Macrame is not exactly a sexy topic in my house There is a song that Chns. our bass player, wrote called "James Bondage," which might excite the leather w They let Guns W Roses tour Japan but they won't let Pansy Division records in. It's a sexist society. Have you had any airplay problems? What songs are DJs afraid of? "Bunnies," "Anthem," and "Cocksucker Club." A couple people from radio stations in the United States have sent me cassettes of when they played us on the air and bleeped out the offending words, which is fine with me. I wasn't about to go and censor the songs myself but if people want to cover up certain words and beep them or just have a space there that's fine with me. Whatever it takes to get the song on the air locally. I think the songs that are being played the most are "Hippie Dude," "Fern in a Black Leather Jacket" and "Versatile." I think those are the three that are suitable for airplay in America. Who is playing your record? The radio station that plays us a lot is a station in Los Angeles called KXLU. A friend told me that somebody played "Bunnies" and then the DJ came on the air and said, "Oops, I guess we won't be heanng that song again." So, we get some airplay but ifs one of those silly American things. Was "Smells Like Queer Spirit" yourfirst record? Yeah, it came out in November of1992. tie; in March we did an in-store appearance at Fallout. I called them up recently and somebody said, "John, you won't believe who came in and bought your record Ihe other night. Courtney Love. She came in and bought the "...Queer Spirit" single and your album." So Kurt and Courtney have got a copy now. I guess I'll be hearing from them if they're offended, but I'd be surprised. Have the Spinal Tappers heard "Big Bottom"? I did send a copy to Harry Shearer, who does a radio show on KCRW in Santa Monica, he is one of the members of Spinal Tap, When I lived in Los Angeles I used to listen to his show, so I sent him a copy of the "Big Bottom" 45. Maybe he'll like it. Speaking of singles, your most recent single is "Bill and Ted's Homosexual Adventure." It's just excellent. Pure party rock'n' roll! It's on OutPunk Records. What is OutPunk? OutPunk is a label run by this young guy in San Francisco who is a young, out punk. He just put out Tribe 8, the dyke-punk band from San Francisco. It is a 6-song EP, I think, on vinyl, cassette and CD too. He put out a record by a straight band called Screeching Weasel who have a song called "I Wanna Be a Homosexual." They're also on Lookout. That's right. Matt's also put out a 4-song 7" compilation called There's a Dyke in Ihe Pit It has 7 a small stage in a small club. Do you plan to make it up to Vancouver? I have to figure out how to get into Canada without any problems because we can't really bring our records with us. I'm afraid they will be confiscated at the border because of that little piece of skin on the We're h«rc tote* ¥01, a better make wa We're fjuaer rockers in your lace today It's a now generation We're me ouitfuckcrs ol rock & roll we vranna sot* it to our hole With loud guitars, we e gay and prow We gonna get va witr Thoy wort risk tncir your panis down Wehavgnosuchce Wens*** clear we Wa'rplnebulttijCkers ot rock S roll .'.!. w, a., .jock | to you' r-oc We donl care It your Just use your tmithol , everyone s got em We* love rock S-o Butrtolbay-meetsg ft stutl iust won t do We got our condoms yot our lube We know how to use Were gonna gelctid ^ your back Vancouver as well. Who was the first Canadian you ever met? A guy named Jim Allison from Toronto who is from a | band called Fuel and had a single out on Lookout a few I years ago. We both used to work at Rough Trade in San Francisco and I used to talk to him about Canada, the land of sensible healthcare. You've got the Undressed LP and two singles, "Smells like Queer Spirit" plus Bill and Ted's Homosexual Adventure, what could possibly be next for Pansy Division? We've recorded our next single which will be out on Lookout in August. It's got three songs, one of which is an original called "Touch my Joe Camel," about phallic cigarette advertisements and the effect on the psyche of one person. The other two songs on there are a version of Pete Shelley's "Homosapien", done in the style of the Buzzcocks, and a remake of a Roxy Music song called "Trash." After that we'll have another single out on Lookout in November or December, and the new album which is already written, not recorded, will be out early next year. Can you please, please, give us a hint of some of the songs that will be on the new album? Okay, lets see. There's a song about a guy with a organ of certain size called "Beer Can Boy"; a song about living in Wer.t Hollywood called, "Fluffy City"; a song called "Rock Bottom-Off" which I won't descnbe, you'll Anything else you'd like to say to Canada, John of Pansy Division? Yes. Always use a Condom. We sing about sex a lot, but there are consequences. It's not just this "wham- bam-thank you, sir," kind of thing. We do feel responsible. If we're gonna sing about sex we should sing about it in a way that doesn't lead to repercussions. You can read about how to use a condom on the inside of our album cover. We thought it would be the kind of information that, at least in this country, our government is loathe to give. Thanks very much and keep on rawkin' in the free world! Hey, thank you so much and we'll see you later this year, I hope. ATTITUDE NON-STOP ALTERNATIVE HORMONES. MUSIC BY CITR...LIKE YOU CARE UVEBANDSEVERY THURSDAY NIGHT!

At Ihe same time, il had enough m it for people who enjoy a trek across "die tundra of meaning" to find justifications.

Discorder. Whal rs the Shinjuku Thief objective? Darrin Verhaeghen: Shinjuku Thief is, I cssentially,a project-based ensemble bringing together different ideas (and, where necessary, musicians) on each new work. There are no over-riding objectives which influence or constrain our direction. We basically work in areas which interest us al the time. Bloody Tourist, for example, was an exploration of ethnic fusion; 77ic Scribbler, our new album, is a more or- chestral/industrial rendering of Kafka's 77if Trial. Works in progress include a hard-core industrial album and a golhic opera. Who are some of your conlemporarks that you admire? Within each of the above styles: ethnic fusion) Jon Hassell, Richard Horowitz, Paul Schutze orchestra 1/industnal) Wiin Mertens, Avro Part, Michael Nynian hard-core industrial) Skinny Puppy, Kondo Ima. Foetus, Einsturzende Neubauten golhic opera) Diainanda Galas, Dead Can Dance, SPK What Australian bands serve as inspirations for your work? Whilst there are a number of Australian bands we enjoy listening to (Peril, Foil, SPK, Snog, Dead Can Dance, Soulscraper, etc.) the only artist we can probably cite as directly influential (particularly on Bloody Tourist) is Paul Schulze. We'd all been impressed with his work for some time and his approaches lo composition, construction and, in particular, detailing hllle bit more. For those concerned with the fringes of music, die increased interest has been fuelled, to a large extent, by a new ease of BFcetS to material. Long deleted vinyl from ifuie Unesco, Ocora and Lyricord libraries are being reissued on CD and teaching a whole new market. You even have the situ- Polygraru releases the Mysterious Voices than it was ten or twenty years ago when access was more limited.

It is ironic dial, only up until recently, the only abongin.il recordings you could find on CD had to be i titpottedffom either Fiance. Germany oi America. There was very link interest shown in Australia. This is starling to improve and bits and pieces of traditional music are filtering through. Essentially, il is still only digeridoo and a small amouni of solo chain. There is a huge amouni of male- rial that just never sees the light of day (for the Caucasians anyway). The aborigines themselves seem to have experienced similar problems to many indigenous groups around the world: Ihe youth are less interested in tradition and the preservation of their own culture, and are either lured by the appeal of the Western twentieth century or, more unfortunately. increasingly marginalized within a predominantly while society. The face of Koorie tradition we see in Australia isgaining a higher profile through the work of bands such as Yothu Yi ndi, who present both traditional Koorie music and some mainstream rock, bul still much of die music being produced by aborigines in Australia falls into the pub-rock country band style. I recently received a catalog of Aboriginal music available from a Koorie distributor and couldn't find any traditional recordings listed at all.

Do you find people are suspicious of whiley performing indigenous music? I Ihink il depends on whal they're claiming to do and how well executed it IS. Whites performing indigenous music divorced from its culture of origin I think has people asking "What's Ihe point?" Unfortunately, the alternative is often a safe, passionless fusion.

"Very Important and Instrumental. ..since 1985," is the latest dynamic attempt at self-labelling by the band which critics , have described in f the past as ranging in sound from Surf to Punk to Tex-Mex. The Toronto-based Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet have been, almost exclusively, recording instrumental sounds % since 1985 and their newest effort on Cargo/ Jetpack records. Sport Fiahin': The lure of the bait, the lack of the hook, continues the great unspoken tradition of earlier releases like Savvy Show Stoppers and Dim the Lights, Chill the Ham. Don Pyle, Roid Diamond and Brian Connelly collectively decided, close to a dt adc ago, that they simply could not put into the words all those musical visions and narratives which danced in their heads. "We couldn't make any lyrics into rhyming couplets, so that's why we had to be instrumental,'' explains Pyle. "It's like painting a wider, bright picture to give you all the information in one sentence," Diamond adds. A case in point, or several for that matter, can be heard on Sport Fishin'. "Off Our Back, Conrad Black" is a little ditty inspired by the band's failed experience in negotiating interest relief with The Bay department store chain. Early on in their career, the shadowy ones could n,ot repay the high interest which accumulated on their purchase of supplies desperately needed for an upcoming tour. Conrad Black, who owned the retail chain at the time, rejected ^j request by the band pay off their debt by playing in Bay store lobbies. "Conrad Black was an entrepreneur, improvises Diamond, "just doesn't cut it lyrically." "Honey, Your Wasting Ammo" recounts a weekend tale of video-game seduction. The generally unimpressed shadowy girl- friends broke with am j lo'by Derek von Kssen Jj&f $ • E *«l technophobic tradition and became so enraptured with the new release of Space Invaders, that after 10 minutes of video screen brain washing, as an enthusiastic Pyle claims, "in this tiny voice one of the women says, 'Honey, your wasting ammo'." Laughter erupts, and another wordless classic is born. Not all musical births, however, reach the point of full studio-recorded maturity. "Amish Father, " a conceptual piece in which the band continually beat each other up, has yet to be re leased. ^%9£wqS Tempered with their subtle-as-a-hand-grenade sense of humour is a satirical side to the Shadowy Men. Being an avid fly-fisher (not the bird) I was im- busincss." Okay. This remnant of punk attitude is found in other aspects of the band. Until recently, the Shadowy Men were a totally autonomous package: booking their own shows, promotional and financial self management, repairing their own cars and even sewing the buttons on their pants, the band symbolized improvisation and self-reliance. Diamond comments, "with agents or managers they want to make money, and as soon as you're being managed by somebody you become a product." Still maintaining considerable autonomy through their own Jetpack Music, Cargo Records now manufactures the discs and MCA distributes the products. In accounting for this slight ^^^hif t, Pyle explains, "they pressed with the title can act like your parents Tuia suggest other ways BY PARIS and '50's style covol of Sport Fiahin'. The band contends, how "^^Srrfng is not ^rity for any of In fact, Pyle ibes sport fishing "pretty gross." So hy the obvious reference to Sir Izaak Walton's claim to literary fame and B.C.'s main tourist attraction? Pyle responds in a completely unamused voice, "the title is an analogy for the Music of doing things because they have experience at floggin' the round things." Taking suggestions from those who are experienced at giving them, the group's latest release had input from record producer Steve Albini. Having recently worked on PJ Harvey's newest disc and being a huge fan of the band, the prolific and inexhaustible producer helped the i attain a ve sound" ^eir instruments, nakes a record l-dimcnsional," I says, "and he out of nd people." Conveying his view of the recording experience, Pyle speaks of Albini, "he gets the naughty with the nice." ^^1^^^^ Apart from their recordings and little- known but highly addictive board game known as "Schlagers" (now a prized collector's item). Shadowy Mon on a Shadowy Planet have been crooping into the unsuspecting minds of millions of television viewers every week as the house band for The Kids in tbe Hall comedy seri otic relatioSI cording to Pyle, originated out of "friendship, working for free nilai iibili- ties." Apparently, Diamond and Connelly grew up and went to High School with Kidd- regular Bruce McCullough (the short guy). Diamond also played in a band with McCullough, Connelly did the recording, and The Kids began using Shadowy Men music to open their live shows. So when the TV comedy scries pi loted the shadowed ones were a natural choice. A good business choice too, as The Kida have been renewed for another season and the Shadowy Men have just signed a now deal to stay on for big bucks. Besides, according to the band, G.E. Smith and his Prime- time Players were not available, j^ So what's next for the Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet? Judg ing by their past itinerary, they will be kept quite busy. Having recently returned from a successful mini-tour of England (London, actually) where they also completed some recordings for the "John Peel Sessions," the Shadowy Men arc recording some new songs for The Kida the Hall With all i musical activity one has to wonder where the members get all their energy.

JULY © VANCOUVER SPECIAL IMMIIfflflffllMI THE RANT; THE SARCASM With Kim Sparkmarker away on tour most of "Vancouver Special" will be my fault this time around. But before I start reviewing I'd like to briefly rant about the lack of thrashing (I refuse to use the word moshing) I've not seen at various all-ages shows that I've managed to stumble to throughout the year. Running around in the pit was always a great spontaneous reaction to high energy music, but it seems to have become extinct (Maybe I just went to the wrong shows?). [/ 'd say so. Why is it that I must suffer through the nonsensical display of "thrashing" at shows where it is absolutely not merited. Ed.] Yeah, it does get a little tired when it's more of a "this is what we're supposed to do at a hardcore show," but it sure is a hell of a lot more fun than standing around and tapping your foot to the music as if you were listening to Benny Goodman. As far as pit violence goes, it tends to look a lot more chaotic than it really is (unless genuine, jock boneheads are present) If I could survive that "violence" as a scrawny 15-year old, expending lost energy and having fun without getting hurt, anyone can. Of course, maybe the reason no one is dancing is because all the Exploitation Retrospect, #37 Hailing out of New Jersey, Exploitation TrUSE ©@®(}£ MP@CSDWfl Vancouver's Largest Selection of Almost New and Used Paperbacks and Magazine Back Issues Large Range of Hard Cover Books Thousands of New and Collector's Comics We Buy, Sell or Trade 1247 Granville near Davie 682-3019 3347 Kingsway 430-3003 Open 7 Days a Week Retrospect a basically an entertainment 'nne.

Three melodic hardcore-type songs that remind me of Shades Apart, latter-day 7 Seconds and, hell, even some Dag Nasty. "Summertime" is my pick: really uplifting and sing-a-long-ish except I can'tsing along'cause no lyric sheet was included, bummer. I've had the opportunity to hear their new Shindig prize recording so if you' ve been waiting for this 7" to come out AND you're digging it, then you'll be stoked on then- next release. For now, get this 7" to tide you over til the next (3 Minute Mile Records, <^oaSFRadio,TC216,Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C.) REVIEWS According to that other long-time, "cutting edge," local entertainment 'zine, Wretched Ethyl are a "punk" band. They certainly have a heavy dosage of early X in their sound (relatively short, punchy tunes with a vocal style very reminiscent of Exene) but it's better than anything an X revival could come up with. Because of that alone you should write to them. (#202-1255 Broughton St., Vancouver, B.C. V6G2B4) Second Guessing are backwith two tapes: If Picasso Could Have Painted the Sea (recorded in March) and I Didn't Mind the Snow (recorded in April). ...Snow is far and above the superior of the two; Picasso... is somewhat unsatisfying, almost as if the songs were cast-offs from early recording efforts ...Snow, on the other hand, it extremely listenable. Many different influences come to miDd but an early-'80's, mellow electro-pop sound dominates. The songwriting is definitely improving and the tape contains some quite memorable melodies. Nicely done tape cover too. (3573 W. 16th Ave. (bsmt), Vancouver, B.C. V6R 3C2) Veterans of this year's Shindig event, Drag the River, play hard rockin' hairshaker music very much in the vein of Wool or Nirvana. The main problem with this type of music is it walks a tightrope between truly heavy, energetic music and abysmal '70's retro-metal. Unfortunately, DTR lean too far into the '70's territory and are definitely in danger of falling into the plod-rock gorge. (2905 St Kiida Avenue, North Vancouvtr.B.C V7N2A8) North American Bison took me totally by surprise. With the name and the goofy picture of Andy Gibb (or someone like that, I don't fucking know anything about '70's sleaze icons) I expected a total novelty band. What I didn't expect were 4 tracks of absolutely rippin'.highenergy.rawasfuckhardcore. The songs are fast and heavy but they're also extremely well structured revealing N.A.B.'s superior musicianship. The vocals are powerful and raw-throated with just the right edge of melody. All this and intelligent, angry lyrics. How could you not resist? (North American Bison c/o KathieCrosby, 6103 St Albion Wy. #315, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 U.S.A) The Empty Tomb's Welcome to the Human Race tape has a cover familiar to anyone who has seen tbe original Agnostic Front Victim in Pain gatefold Empty Tomb probably would have been right at home with that old breed of NY hardcore with their heavy, angry guitar sound and the raw, shredding vocals. Very memorable hardcore with a bite. (P.O. Box 20714, Salem, Oregon 97307- 0714. The demo is $6.) Shine's Sonrise CD isn't my thing. I'm guessing that COAST Radio plays them 'cause they have that "radio" sound. Can't say I would change the station 'cause I probably wouldn't even think of listening to it It's pretty, soft and oh-so sweet at times but bar-rockin' cheese at others. You decide, I'd rather not (Box 327, 810 W. Broadway, Vancouver, B.C. V5C 4C9) I listened to Rosstta Stone's new demo more than once but it's exactly what I stay away from: metal/rock that doesn't challenge in anyway; try to be cool and sly with enough rock to bang your head. Pearl Jam rip-offs don't make you alternative! Shoulda sent it to Nite Moves. Sorry! (Box 93559, Nelson PK P.O., Vancouver, B.C. V6E 4L7) What a name! What a cover! Talk about insanely stupid and silly. The Flying Butt Pliers are five bored, and probably drunk, guys from Delta who got together and.voila! I don't get every joke but Tm sure their friends find it entertaining. I wish other bands put as much interest into their demos as these guys. It's easy being cheezy. (5068 47A Ave., Unit D, Delta, BC, V4K1T8) Angry Candy's demo, however, makes me want to get down and boogie. Upbeat and catchy, thus is definitely abeam of sunshine in a dark night of demo reviewing. Sounds like really eariy-'80's new wave-punk a la the Cars, Go Gos and Devo.

Ultra-cool 'n' original, soft 'n' quirky jazz. These guys play the "rock circuit" and, man, this is one show I'd like to see in a rock club.

NOAH CALL FOR SPECIAL EVENT INFORMATION 688-2648 eUbu Boneclub Orangutang Commodore Ballroom Wednesday, May 26 Pere Ubu blasted forth a long performance to a receptive, yet sparse, audience as part of the Imago Road Show which also featured labelmates Orangutang and Boneclub. Poor Orangutang probably didn't get much of a crowd; when I arrived just as Boneclub were about to play—let's just say it was a very lonnng set—there couldn't have been more than 150 people in the club. Pere Ubu (mark 1) were fairly angst-ridden guys and some of their best material ("Final Solution," "30 Seconds Over Tokyo") came from the mid-70's when the band originated as Rocket From the Tombs land lead vox David Thomas was known as Crocus Behemoth). This show, however, focused on the four studio albums of Pere Ubu (mark 2): the products ot the band's six-year hiatus during the early 80's. The songs can still be deliciously-sad al times, yet there is still a spirit of optimism which certainly didn't exist before. With the new release, Story Of My Life, the band seems at ease with being a 'rock' group: Thomas' voice is deeper and his vocals seem less consciously quirky. The concert opened with the first two songs from the new disc, "Wasted" and "Come Home" ("I was a spy in the heart of our home") and later Thomas humored us with an extended version of "The Story Oi My Life" which detailed how he looked up his childhood sweetheart's phone number in the Toronto phone book yet backed out ot calling.

The first band certainly wasn't what I was expecting. (We Be) Birthin' Cows sound like the Butthole Surfers with Henry Rollins singing and it they rock! Their lead singer, the infamous Wozzle, even had tike Rollins tattoos drawn on his chest. They ended their set with a ten minute feedback session and the sacrifice of a bright orange plastic pig. 1 don't know how to describe these guys but 1 overheard someone say lhat they had "the Coquitlam sound," whatever thai is.

TRUMANS WATER Spasm Smash XXXOXOXOX And Ass (Homestead Records) "they said 'our youth was dead' how could they know" screams Glen Galloway on tlie first track in his consistently strained vocal style. Fromdnskick-ass opening the band doesn't let up once, systematically crushing through another 19 songs. Spasm Smash totally describes Trumans Water's sound; in their unpredictably, raging, start-stop spasms are hooks and freaky experimentation that will get your adrenaline flowing. At first this barrage of half-crazed, breakneck ins slightly dark and menacing, bul after a few more listenings il locks in on your nund and grooves the exception being the last two instrumental tracks which are immediately revealed in all their crazy, super catchy Max PJ HARVEY Rid of Me (Island) Polly lean 1 larvey's music is not for those who are weak at heart, but if you dare lo take risks you shall be rewarded greatly. Her style of undiluted rock& roll ishkeabucket of fuming chemicals, ready to explode at any time. Most of Harvey's songs deal with anger, confusion and obsessive love, and I would therefore probably relate if I was slightly more screwed up than I am now. However, the music alone moves me: her singing moves from a murmur to a scream in attraction of Each track on Rid of Me stands on its own, making it hard to pick out a favourite since they are all worthy ofrepeated listenings. Ihaveafeeling that PJ Harvey will be just as influential as Joni Mitchell or even Bob Dylan. Vince Yen .die mic, the next, crazy and angry; Harvey's guitar profu reminding me of older blues guitar players. GGFH Disease (Cargo Records) The problem with industrial music is that il all walks a line line between being electrifying cool and unhelievahlystupid. It issurpnsingly difficult lo get away with wearing all black, singing about robots, death and religion while sampling dozens of not-so-great lines from cheezy movies. Every now and then one of these industrial outfits goes over tin- deep end. GGFH tries too damn hard to scare you with spooky album art and grim, raspy pseudo-rap on its album Disease—a collection of songs about such light topics as rape, murder, sin. and cannibalism. Taken individually, tracks like "Room 213" or "Flesh" are quite solid, even good, hut as a collection it u^ckly becomes just plain silly. Disease is infected tcknes .: Ihe duslrial albums is located ten alter the last official track on the album (oik., surprise), movie and TV samples are rampant and usually unnecessary, and the list goe.s on. While Disease is not a complete inless you're in need of Pigpen has been likened to Ornette Coleman mixed with Nirvana and that's not surprising as keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, who has worked with John Zorn, is involved. Pigpen is ostensibly a jazz-rock fusion but don't expect any bad '70's sounds, this 20-minute CD clips along quite pleasantly: die brief cover of Zorn's "Revolution/Revelation" moves from hardcore to traditional jazz with an alto sax transition and Public Enemy samples. If, however, you are looking for a musical challenge check out Hal Willner's compilation tribute to Charlie Mingus, Weird Nightmares, featuring the likes of Chuck D, Leonard Cohen and, of course, John Zorn. June Scudeler BIKINI KILL/HUGGY BEAR split LP (Kill Rock Stars) Bikini Kill continues to pump out their vein of angry, raw, trashy punk with this rough recording (actually adding power to die music) but I didn't find the songs to be as engaging as those from their demo. I much preferred the Huggy Bear side which consists of a finely balanced selection of songs, ranging from hard-driving grungey punk to noisier weirdness, with well placed elements of pop roving in and oul of the songs where necessary. Tom Milne APHEX TWIN Selected Ambient Works '85-'92 (R + S Records) POLYGON WINDOW Surfing on Sine Waves (Warp Records) A friend phoned during my radio Aphe Th. ..duct year-old Londoner. Richard James. However, li was still a few months later, after dutifully searching for what I didn't think I would find, before I actually ,11ns led 111 •rlhc ,1 Apl, ,1 Polyg, a good laugh. I was doing the club thing Gustav recently when the name Polygon Window inched its way across die PIGPEN LED message hoard. I immediately Halfrack perked up knowing that Polygon (Tim/Kerr Records) W.n.low was related to the This EP could iv.s be de.s cribed as jazz for people wl > don't like jazz. the pounding beat with varying percussion that was "Quoth." It was the fat, warm sound of analogue instead of the cold, pristine sound of digital electronics that made this song stand out. According to an April '93 interview m Alternative Press magazine, James "gels an idea from outside sounds or a noise, and will sample i» and play with it. This may not seem like a novel idea to devotees of Non or Neubauten, but few in the techno arena have explored the boundaries of sampling as the Aphex Twin has." "Didgeridoo," which is not on Ambient Works, was James' first release and garnered a lot of attention. It's a strange one for a dance floor hit, incorporating manipulations of an already strange soundi ng instrument with very little beat to it, but its uniqueness is its strength. Ambient Works washes over you and makes you feel as if you're floating underwater while strange sonar blips bounce around you. Tlie only down-side to Ambient Works is that if you're an apartment dweller like me, die subsonic bass on some of the tracks can't really be turned up wiUiout the neighbours haling you. A uniformly excellent Polygon Window's Surfing on Sine Waves is a bit more upbeat and it does contain the magnificent "Quoth." The untitled track is one of my faves: a deep, dissonant bass line is contrasted with what sounds like a Canadian goose being tortured. Again, not to be nussed. Unfortunately, since Warp Records is in England and R + S is in Belgium diese are very expensive. On the plus side, Richard.lames has started hisown label and is looking for demos. He also has a mail order service: Rephlex Records, P.O. Box 2676, London, Nil, England. June Scudeler PIGFACE Washingmachinemouth (Invisible Records) Pigface's latest outing is a perfect example of what die band is all experii Washii ,, inn, nilh comprised mostly of remixes from Fook widi die addition of a new track called "Cutting Face." Included are a 10-ininute, really swell remix of "Hips, Tits, Lips Power" (where it kinda samples itself thru and thru), called "Satan On Tlie Inside Lrxiking In." and a toned-down version of "Satellite." This isn't for industrial fan wannalvs. it's for those who really in not talking ..bout >. (in that k:n When one thinks of all the industrial giants conung togedier and forming an amalgamation called Pigface, with dandy album names like Gub, Spoon, etal., you really don't know what to expect. If anti-expectations are for you then Washmgnuuhmemoutli is perfect. Make sense? Neidier did the album, but I liked it. Trip 26 >»tKc;»i^4-^ the cruel elephant concert productions, presents Greetings and salutations, loyal reader types! I was going to do a rundown ofthe two new money- grabbing music formats (DCC and Mini-disc) and give you my spin on 'em but, gosh, I just got a big pile of rekkids from all over the place I Thusly, and ergo, I felt I couldn't put off mentioning them a month from now. I'm getting more and more strange 'n' goofy platters from you out there these days, so I gotta tell you about them before a bigger pile develops. So now I'm gonna subject you to a Psyschosonic Psuperselection! You have been warned. The first volley comes courtesy of Paul Brooks, editor and disciplinari an of this li'lol' rag: TheTreeclimbers4-song EP(Lanan Records) Not my typical fare, this EP goes in the "best left forgotten by all concerned" dept. The key figure on this is the presence of Sub Pop god, Johnathan Pone man, a co-conspirator in the whopping heavy cross we have had to bear called the "Seattle Sound." Not that you'd believe it by listening to this treacherously heinous soft-pop slop the Tre- eclimbers dole out (remember China Crisis or Wang Chung and you know what I mean!). Poneman would probably really like to forget he played bass on this. Cheezability Rating: Curiosity piece only.

Do I need to say any more? Cheezability Rating: Off the scale. The next slab comes from Mark Coulavin from the 65th most expensive place to live on this Earth, Tronna, Ont: Plant Music — Baroque Bouquet (Amherst) Another addition to the ever-expanding "plant growth" genre of music. Plant Music takes the scientific tack on the liner notes, explaining the history in high-falutin' jargon like this: "Response to Bach and Shankar musical forms is evident in all experiments we 've read. Response away from percussion and also from non-Diathematical and extremely simple musical forms (acid rock) is equally evident." They follow this lofty stuff with the usual plant-theme titles you'd expect. Tbe music is this light, fluffy, pseudo-classical, pre-new age twaddle that's supposed to make yer tendrils turgid. I don't know if this theory works, all I know is my plants wilt when I throw on Killdozer! Cheezability Rating: 88 (+ 5 for flake appeal) Coming from kinda queasy Prince George, the next few are from the ever-patient Sara (Christ! I can't find her last name! Boy will she be pissed!). Give her a hand, folks, she sent me about a half of a dozen albums! Music For Your Plants - ? (Carrnel Records) Same type of stuff as the last one, with the added bonus of photos. Once again, it's pro-classical and anti-rock but the music is better, using known pieces instead of loopy stuff. Cheezability Rating: 90 Happy Times — Mitch Miller & The Gang (Columbia) Happy times, indeed, when Mitch & the Gang kick it out! Sing-a-long oldies and traditionals in true Mitch style. Comes with a dozen ditties and about 6 sets of lyrics for the whole posse to groove with! Sara, how could you give this up? (Phun Phact!! R.D. Harrison informs me Miller was A&R chief for Columbia in the '50s. I think all A&R people model themselves after this guy.) Cheezability Rating: 100 Naljiwaj Mnje Wodotschku 7" — h/an Rebroff (CBS) Ivan is the Slavic male equivalent to Nana Mouskouri. I don't know what country he comes from but they don't use a whole lotta vowels there. How do you pronounce "Mnje"? Anyways, this tune about drinking is way cool—delivered in his patented Sensurround baritone voice. Comes with cool picture sleeve and a mini-discography. Cheezability Rating: 90 Sounds Sensational — The Mike Samms Singers (EMI - Studio 2 Stereo) This one goes straight to the Hall o' Shame, do not pass go! This is the sort of music you'd expect from a chase scene in a '60's European comedy or something!! Crazy vocal group meandering by some of the whitest people in the world, this one has to be heard to be believed! I Cheezability Rating: 100 And well finish up with a few contributions from my own bad self: The Six Million Dollar Man, Volumes 1 A 2 (Peter Pan) A whole wacko'stories about Ixe Major's tour de force of the '70s: Steve Austin. Each LP has four way-cool stories with pretty good imitations of Austin and Goldman. Best part: they include the ultra neat "bull -buh-buh bull" sound Austin makes when he uses his bionic eye!! Also contains a lot of reality stretching and cheezy dialogue. Can't figure out why record one is about a quarter inch thick, though. Cheezability Rating: 100 Our Country 'Tis of Thee — A bunch of Americans, I guess (Peter Pan) Just got this one in time for the USA self love-in. This is a musical history erf' the US complete with annoying singing kids. Oddly enough, they mention the New Deal but seem to have forgotten the civil war, slavery and the two world wars. Anyone surprised? Cheezability Rating: 80 I got both, of the above at the Kingsway flea market for about 50 cents. They have many copies and, no, they didn't pay me to plug them! South ofthe Border Volume 2—The 50 Guitars of Tommy Garrett (London) The legendary 50 axes do it one more time to Mexico! Superconductor's mentors come up with the usual high quality, cutaway folding sleeve and limp music inside. This is the guy that produced Telly, so look out for any LPs from this series for overwhelming cheeziness!! Cheezability Rating: 84 Well, that's my load for now. A big fat thanx to all you hipsters who donated vinyl. I'll send you cool stuff in a few weeks!!!
