Having been\nthere and 'in' at the time, I can\nunderstand the appeal. At the\ntime it felt like the ultimate state\nof being, there was no one cooler\nthan I (or so I thought).\nNow that those days are\ngone (and they are gone. NEWSFLASH: Bauhaus broke up\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nOh my God so did Love and\nRockets and I didn't even know\nit.). Why do the ones that were\nthere then insist onstaying there.\nA healthy appreciation is expected and understood, but to exist\npurely for 1982-87 (or therein\nabouts) is very weird indeed.\nThe new ones I can understand, they're just babies. But\nwhat do the old ones stand for?\nPlease, someone tell me. In my\neyes, neo-nazis, environmentalists\u00E2\u0080\u0094they seem to at least have\na purpose, but what do people\nwho call themselves Alternative, as a whole, deem as their\nsense of purpose. In my mind,\njust being Alternative isn't\nenough. When I was there, I\ndon* t remember standing for or\nrepresenting any specific val-\nuesorideals. Wedidn'tncedto,\nas it was the time to be Alternative that way (hair, makeup,\netc.). Butnowtherearesomany\nfree thinking, Alternative people around who don't see the\nneed to talk about the \"Scene\"\nor about how they are Alternative and are in. Why do the ones\nthat still exclusively wear black\nhave to? I can honestly say,\nback then they weren't. I guess\nI see it as if you go around\ntelling people how cool you are,\n- you aren't\nBack then I saw it as an\nopportunity to do whatever superficial doctoring we wanted\nand to try and, of course unconsciously, irritate as many people as possible with our fashion\nsense. (Although I still believe\nyou can tell how cool someone\nis by their shoes )\nAfter all that, I did have a\nsimilar conversation with a\nfriend of mine. Upon arriving\nhome, I put on my Bauhaus\nrecords just to see what memories it might evoke (if any). After realizing that I had it on the\nwrong speed, I came to the conclusion that I'm glad that I was\nthere, but no money in ihe world\ncould ever take me back to that\ntime.\nTo live in thepastis to fear\nthe future...\nThere is more out there!!!\nMorissey's Meet Substitute\nSEX DOES NOT GUARANTEE SKILL?\nDear Discorder/ \"Bruno\":\nThere are a lot of nasty things\none can say about \"Bruno\" but\nlet's focus specifically on liis\ninept 'review' of the Kreviss\nshow in July's Discorder.\nIt's disheartening, though\nperhaps not surprising, that Dis\ncorder would print what was\nnothing more than sheer misog-\nynistmalevolence passed off as\ncriticism, which effectively fail-\nto make a single valid point.\nThe suggestion that the musical\nperfon nance by a group of women is a result of who they're\nsleeping with (and the mentioned associations apply to only\nthree out of ten members, so\nwereitrelevant, theeffectwould\nbe minimal) is less offensive\nthan it is utterly iame, another\ntypically dimwiusd reliance on\ndark ages ideas which were tread\nout to .x-\nyou force me to equivalent\ndepths of meaningless spite.

After much {-robing (I couldn' t resist) and meticulous attention to every variable, I have composed a list of\nchump contraceptives and, at\nthe risk of never getting laid\nagain, here they are.\nORTHRO SUPREME: most of\nyou have probably tried 'em coz\nthey're always on sale. They're\nfine if say, you're a surgeon or\nhave a penchant for sex and\nludes, otherwise they'll probably break before you get them\nall the way out of the package.\nOrthro are one of the largest\nmanufacturers of birth control\npills.\nTROJAN NATURALUBE\nRIBBED: the support hose of\ncondoms. Need I say more?\nSHIELDS: famous in the free\nclinics. Actually, the condom\nclinic atDavie and Richards usually has Ramses too and they're\npretty fine. Shields (they're just\ncalled \"Shields\" and the have a\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094graphic\u00E2\u0080\u0094 around the name)\nhave a give like polyester and\nsmell like LePages glue.\nELITE: not \"Sheik Elite,\"\nthey 're justcalledEhte and come\nin individual shiny blue tin foil\npackets. They're about 2 1/2\nGLO-WORM CONDOMS: you\nwould figure maybe these would\nbe convenient for romps in the\ndark but it says on the package\n\"Hold up to light for two minutes immediately before.\" I guess\nthese condoms are for the gen-\nbyj\ntlemen who want something to\ndo while the lady inserts the\nfoam. I didn't actually try these\nout because I heard John Ritter\nmade them famous.\nMENTOR MAGNUM: another\nTrojan classic that can be found\nin the Love Shop. They're advertised as \"Extra-large\" condoms and underneath them was\na red plexiglass shelf modeling\ndildos that could easily double\nas Kono-cult battle clubs. For\nme to critique these fairly I would\nhave to do a glossary on non oil-\nbased lubes as well.\nCONTEMPO CONDOMS:\nmore love shop product I 'm sure\nthis is the line that's also found\nin most variety stores that have\ngold busts of Elvis in the window. One can skillfully attain an\nerection by looking at the package, if pom's their thing. And if\nthat's the case, why bother going out? Practice REAL safe sex\nby staying at home with an unopened pack of Contempo and a\nfuckin' latex glove. Contempo\ncum in fashionable \"Power-\nplay,\"\"Erotica,\"\"Kiss'o'Mint,\"\nand \"Wet'n'Wild\" models.\nLICKS FLAVOURED CONDOMS : \"Warning do not use oil\nbased lubricants or sahvaoncondoms.\" This rule of application\nkinda wipes \"Licks\" off the\nboard doesn't it? The law stating that all novelty condoms\nmust adhere to regular condom\ntesting must not apply to Licks.\nI don't know if that means\nthey're extra thick or made out\nof some super saliva repellent.\nThey cost a dollar fifty for one.\nTo have flavoured condoms\nmakes about as much sense as\nkeeping them in the fridge for\nfreshness.\njune\nMeatBeatManifesto have finally hit it big in North America\nwith their album 99% and its\ndance floor smash singles, \"Helter Skelter\" and \"Psyche Out.\"\nMeat Beat have been around\nsince '87, starting out as a performance art hallucination, and\nhave managed to keep their signature frenetic brand of hip hop/\nindustrial/noize/dancemusic assaulting the ears of the listeners\nin their native England, and finally to our shores. Discorder\ntalked to vocalist/songwriter\nJack Dangers.\nDiscorder: Do you agree with\nConsolidated's political stance?\nJack Dangers: Do I agree with\nit? There's so many different\nfacets. We're vegetarians as well,\nso that fits in quite easily. Yeah,\nwe agree with what they're saying, although I think we say it in\na different way. I think they're\nfighting extremes with extremes,\nwhere our music is more productive.\nD: Do you think people see you\nas more than just dance music?\nJD: I think people can see that in\nour music. I don't think they see\nit as throw away party music but,\nat the same time, we're not as\nmuch 'in your face' as Consolidated, so maybe that might turn\npeople off. I suppose we play the\nmiddle ground more.\nD: Would you consider your\nstage show performance art and\nhave you changed it to accommodate newer fans who just\nknow 99%?\nscudeler\nJD: Originally, I wanted to do\nthings live people really hadn't\ntried before. About four years\nago we did three tours using a\nbig dance setup\u00E2\u0080\u0094 the very first\ntours we did involved fifteen to\ntwenty people on stage. What\nwe're doing now is the total opposite with just taking everything down to the bare bones, we\nhaven't got anything on stage\nexcept for musicians\u00E2\u0080\u0094 I've got\na dancer but his job is more hyping the crowd really.\nD: What direction is Meat Beat\nheading? 99% is smother sounding than your earlier work.\nJD: Yeah, withStorm the Studio\nit's easy to slot in any image you\nwant really 'cause it is more aggressive. The music now has\nbecome, I don't know about\n\"smoother,\" we've used things\nlike fade in and fade outs, quite\nobvious things that the first album hasn't quite got. With 99%\nwe didn't want songs that had\ndefinite beginnings and endings.\nD: Have you produced any other\nbands?\nJD: Yeah, I've worked with Hip\nHopcrisy, they're a San Francisco band formed from the ashes ofthe Beatnigs. I did the Sha-\nmen's last single, that was funny\nbecause I totally changed it. I\nwas surprised that they liked it\nthe way they did because it's\nradically diff erent. I also worked\non Coil's new single, which I\nremixed, and on David Byrne's\nnew solo album, for which I did\ntwo mixes.\n^\nw\nfHiMf^F\nl^^spi\na \u00C2\u00A9\n^S-i^liSl^^k1-\n\u00C2\u00A9\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\" \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"\n* * *\nf I'll if\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 | al.5 I\nilllSf\n.*.!*\u00C2\u00BB\nsi_-t_\nft! ill\u00C2\u00BB\nali-s |\nlis! s\nftffl |\n' \u00C2\u00B02 2 Timbre Presents\nPresents\nCiTR\n101.9 fM\nFROM HOLLAND\nLEGENDARY\nPINK\nDOTS\nTUES.

We'll\nprobably be waiting a long time\nfor the definitive audio companion of the film guide to come\nalong, so here a few of my own\npreliminary entries to what remains only an imaginary guidebook.\nKasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus\nKasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus\nIf such a project requires a\nHoly Grail on which to direct\nitself, this 1968 Buddah Records\nLP may well fill that role as one\nof the truly quintessential psy-\nchontronic records. The brainchild of producers Jeff Katz and\nJerry Kasenetz, the combo was\nan amalgam of their three most\npopular acts (1910 Fruitgum\nCompany, Ohio Express, and the\nMusic Explosion) with five of\ntheir hopelessly obscure ones.\nThe result? According to the\npress releases, the first true\nrock'n'roll orchestra, 46 musicians strong. Alright! Perhaps a\nUtile heady from their early successes (the aforementioned\ngroups had taken tracks like\n\"Yummy Yummy Yummy\" and\n\"1,2,3, Red Light\" near the top\nof the pops), the producers conspired to unleash their ensemble\nuponNew York's Carnegie Hall,\n'Tommy\" style or something (a\ngood year before the Pete\nTownsend monstrosity!). The\npremiere date was eventually set\nfor Friday night, June 7, 1968.\nIts announcement was greeted\nwith a mixture of ambivalence\nand skepticism from the New\nYork public. In an effort to give\ntheir event a respectable house,\nJeff and Jerry worked with local\nradio stations to give away virtually every ticket in the hall\n(Steve Winwood style) not already going to industry types.\nSo the show went on, attracting\na critic froiii the trade paper Variety, who, inevitably insulted\nby the rock circus, wrote in its\nJune 12th edition: \"(the\nKasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus) is offensive to anyone but juves and investors.\"\nThe review continues with glorious detail ofthe extravaganza:\n\"string musicians with longhaired wigs... flashing lights,\nJames Brown impersonation by\na blond-haired blue-eyed monster, a midget, day-glo paint, 180\ndegree sound, other-worldish\nfantasy 'trips,' black muscle\nshirts (sex appeal), ad infinitum\nwere all there.\" Buoyed by the\nenthusiasm of their freebee ticket holders (if not Variety), the\nproducers set out to assemble\nthe audio document of this group\nand event The subsequent release (Buddah 5020) is one of\nthe most confusing pieces of vinyl ever encountered by this listener, a mish-mash of studio recording and supposedly 'Uve'\nperformances from the Carnegie show. Like many 'Uve' recordings from this period, however, the term only refers to studio tracks laden with shrill\nscreaming obviously sampled\nfrom the audience of amorepopular group's concert\nWhile the instrumentation\nsometimes falls to the negative\nside of 'workmanlike' and the\nstring arrangements are overbearing at the best of times, the\nvocals are the integral abomination of the package. In what can\nbest be described as Helen Keller\ninterpreting Brian Wilson after\nhis prime, the songs abound with\nobtuse vocal passages of at least\ntwenty people singing in different keys and an, at best, emotionless lead vocal skirting o v er-\ntop. Of course, noneof the sound-\non this disc would be quite as\nconvoluted if the reverb wasn't\non full, lending a transistor radio\neffect throughout The musical\nhighlight is the last song, an interpretation of \"Yesterday\"\nyou'd swear was a parody of the\nMacca and his Reno nightclub\nsensibilities if you didn't also\nget the impression that the people responsible were firmly in\nthe throes of Beatle-discipleship\nat the time.\nAlready over the top, the\nspoken filler on this album takes\nthe listener into uncharted (literally) realms of bizarre record\nmaking. Check out the track\n\"Count Dracula,\" where the\ncount himself declares that \"tonight the world will be consumed\" as theOrchestralaunch-\nes into a maudlin version of\n\"Places in the Sun.\" At times\nlike these, the record wavers to\nthe side of a seriously misguided\nchildren's record; at others, it\nattempts to vaUdate its starring\nacts to a more 'sophisticated*\n(i.e. adult) audience than their\nbubblegum format had allowed\nthem to reach. Consequently, the\nMusic Explosion lead their cohorts through \"You've Lost that\nLovin' Feeling,\" and then there's\nthe Electric Prune-on-valium\nrendition of that underground\nstaple \"Hey Joe\" stretched to 4\n1/2 minutes with a perfectly indifferent fuzz guitar passage meandering in and out.\nKasenetz and Katz betray\ntheir sense of self-importance\nwhen they write in the liner notes:\n\"We felt we were ready for something different Maybe the world\nwas ready too.\" Buddah President Neal Bogart (later the\nfounder of Casablanca Records)\nadds his thought to the package\nas well, summarizing the importance of the Carnegie date: \"History was made... history and togetherness. Like coffee and cake,\nblack and white, like the\nKasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus andyou.\"Convinced?\nDo yourself a favour and add\nthis nugget to your record box, a\nprivilege you can have by perus-\nnently in the Top 40 Album\ncharts, Renaissance bowed out\nafterapeakperformanceof#199\non Cashbox and #134 on Billboard. Unable to find an audience for their North American\nconcerts outside of Las Vegas\nand the Merv Griffin Show, the\nproject packed up for a South\nAmerican jaunt, and went\nstraight from there to Oblivion\n(California, just south of Los\nGatos) until making a recent series of semi-success fill comeback\ntours. Needless to say, the Renaissance material does not figure prominently in their current\nshows.\nBeasties' Greatest Hits\nThe Beastles\nA great set of songs recorded on an early eighties high-tech\nsynthesizers, with programmed\nanimal sounds singing along!

Showing off their revised' Devo meets\nFlock of Seagulls' look on the\ncover and pledging \"no more\nYMC As\" to the press, the group\nsounds pretty emotionally vacant here as they sing about Big\nMacs, diets and food fights.

It's a drug album!!!\nThe cover pictures a huge pill\nlop-sided in an elevator (don't\nmissthemetaphor), withthe track\n\"Stoned House #1\" kicking off\nside one (elsewhere on the album is \"Stoned Houses #2\").\nThere's a great road anthem on\nthe second side with a chorus\nthat chimes \"Cocaine! Back on\nthe road again,\" and verses describing \"limousines and the bars\nonme__anines.\"The RoUers next\nalbum. Ricochet (released only\nin Canada in 1983), featured a\nnew lead singer and better music\nthan Elevator GyncaUy it's less\ninteresting). At this point in in\ntheir career the group was virtu-\nally ignored by the media, a pattern only briefly broken when\nthey were detained in South Africa for not generating enough\nconcert doUars to cover their hotel\nand laundry bills. Despite its\nmeager sales, copies of Elevator\nare relatively easy to find, sometimes at below-bargain prices.\nLiving the Book of My Life\nPhiUp Michael Thomas\nYouknow, Tubbs, the black\nguy from Miami Vice. This\nrecord did a lot to debunk the hip\ncredibility of that program when\nit was released, onno less amega-\ncompany than Atlantic in 1985.\nWhy'd he do it? In PMT's own\nwords (to TV GUIDE in 1985):\n\"Youknow, when you have been\nblessed with the multi-dimensional talents that I think I have,\nyou hav e a responsibility of sharing them with the world.\" So we\nget a self-permed, self-financed\ncollectionof songs from this budding chanteur, the nadir of which\nis \"Fish & Chips\" with the opening lyrics:\n\"Don't talk about appetiz -\ners\nCause I'm a hungry man.\nI want the full course baby\nI could eat the frying pan\"\nThings don't get much classier\non the chorus when Phil (father\nto at least nine illegitimate children) compares the act of sex to\nfilet mignon. WEA gave PMT a\nsecond chance at singing success\nin 1988, but the resulting Somebody did even worse than his\ndebut (which missed the charts\ncompletely as it is). Today, Thomas is screwing Dionne Warwick in die hopes of establishing\nan \"inside connection\" who wiU\nhelp him secure the singing stardom that has eluded him thus far\n(that's what friends are for).\nChances are the forces of obscurity and bankruptcy wiU find him\nfirst... in which case itmay not be\ntoo long before PMT is on the car\nshow circuit singing \"The Heat\nis On\" and mugging in front of\nthe sports cars heno longer drives.\nScott Baio\nScott Baio\nAs far as I know, Henry\n\"the Fonz\" Winkler had the good\nsense to preserve his cool stature\nby refusing to try a stab at recording success ( a tribute to his greatness. The Fonz Album features\nonly the voices of very second-\nrate impersonators). Not Chachi\nhowever, RCA released the one\nand only Scott Baio album in\n1982 and actuaUy managed to\nmove a few copies (enough to\nland it in the lower recesses of\nthe album charts). Unfortunately, Scott didn't write any of the\nmaterial here, but he does lend\nhis pipes to a bouncy \"Midnight\nConfessions\" and Rick Spring\nfield's \"How do you Talk to\nGirls.\" The music is your typical\npaint-by-numbers backdrop of\nLos Angeles slickdom, punctuated by horns and flutes where\nneeded. A real bore, excepting\nthe packaging that pictures a shot\nof Chachi dialing the phone and\na back cover showing the 'great\none' with hands on his hips and\na menacing scowl on his face.\nBiggest downer: why not a duet\nwith Erin Moran???\nHeartbeat, It's a Loveboat\nThe DeFranco Family featuring\nTony DeFranco\nIn the true spirit of Weldon's book, the audio equivalent should not come across as\njust \"vinyl's greatest turkeys.\"\nTake this 1973 gem, a quaUty\nentry in the continuous cycle of\nteen-fave raves. 20th Century\nFox Records put out the record\nby this attractive family of Italian teenagers in an attempt to\ncapitalize on the market of the\nPartridge Family were losing\ngrip of. Tony, who sings lead\nand couldn't have been more\nthan thirteen at the time, is Uke\nhoney on the ears. His pre-pu-\nbescent vocals lend a purity to\nthe music here, some of which is\nwell-written and beautifully produced. \"Heartbeat\" (the big hit)\nis the best thing here, with a\nharpsichord sound diat recalls \"I\nThink I Love You\" and comes\nclose to matching the original's\nclever finesse. The 'Filler' cuts,\nhowever, are often miles ahead\nof anything offSound Magazine\nor Shopping Bag.

In between the meetings and concerts, the convention presents seminars, essentially panel discussions, on topical issues facing the\nmusic business. One of the seminars\nlooked at the problems women face in\nthe music industry and in fheir everyday Uves when faced with sexist and\nracist attitudes. What foUows represents some of the comments of the pan-\neUsts.\nToshi Regan, an Electra recording\nartist on the difficulties of putting together a band of black female musicians: \"Women - and especially black\nwomen - are not taught or encouraged\nto play musical instruments in the pop-\n^ ular music industry. It's really in the\nlast ten years that we've seen more\n. women instrumentalists who are really\nI expertmusicians, not just who can play\na couple of chords and look good in a\nvideo. I find that women are more en-\n*< couraged to sing and dance and look\n1 beautiful and not really to write and\nproduce and play. So when I find some-\nI one who can do those things I feel that\nthat person has reaUy had to struggle\nalong the way. I was lucky enough to\ncome at a time when a network of women musicians and instrumentalists were\nalready around me and that was because of the women's music network\nwhich started in the seventies: Ferron,\nSweet Honey on the Rock, then on to\nTracy Chapman and MeUssa Etheridge\naU participated in that network. We\nshould try and open doors for women\nwho want to play. Women who get into\na position of power should share that\npower, by hiring other women and en-\ncouragingotherwomenmusicians, technicians and producers. Men are often\nsurprised when they see a group of\nwomen playing music, and playing it\nweU.\"\nMaria Ferrero, a representative for\nMegaforce records, on hard rock and\nMTV: \"WeU, they seem to play videos\nfirst if they're sexist, if it's showing\nwomen slutting around and so on, which\nis not whatthemusic's all about It'snot\nfair to create this using women in this\nway.

Although 'alternative' music seems\nto be taking a downfaU because of the\nrecession and because there's no radio\nsupport since the pubUc isn't speaking\nup and demanding more diversity on\nthe radio, you can take the buU by the\nhorns and go out there and do it - take\ncontrol.

Easy to research, I used my\nown collection. \"Rock\" books are a\nlot like records, sometimes they get\nfiled away to be rediscovered one\nday and... well, you're happy. A\nfew of these book are out of print,\nso always check out 2nd hand\nstores, they usually have a diverse\nselection of material. The stuff here\nis pretty basic \"nwk\" but essential.\nI recendy got a book by Heniy\nRollins (High Adventures...) it's\nintense, unrelenting. That 2.13.61\npress is sure to be watched tho...\ncoming soon are books by (Gun\nClub' s) Jeffrey Lee Pierce and (Magazine's) Howard Devoto. Musicians'\nwriting prose is exciting, if egos are\nheld in check. Read any book this\nsummer that doesn't mention Jim\nMorrison. Happy Reading!\nChuck Eddy, Stairway to Hell (the\n500 best Heavy Metal albums in\nthe Universe) (Harmony $19.0u,\n232 pp): A recent purchase and dam\nproud of it. Forget the tres dated\nterm \"Heavy Metal,\" the focus here\nis on groups who rawk hard, loud\nand, on occasion, melodically. Oldsters like the Sweet, Zep, Cooper,\nRamones, and NY Dolls are right at\nhome next to Flipper, Voivod, Janes\nAddiction and Faith No More. Album covers and pictures round out\nthe informative band notes. Fun,\nfun, fun.\nVanous,Whatthe Songs Look Like\n(Perrenial $14.95, 124 pp): You\nprobably noticed the neon pink cover giving off a nuclear-glow when\nthis came out in '87. This collection\nconsists of such artists as Sue Coe,\nGary Panter, Keith Haring, and Lynda Barry with their renderings of\nwhat the music of the Talking Heads\n\"looks like\" to them. I wasimpressed\nwith the book but, at that price, I\nwasn't enuff of a fan to make the\npurchase. I'm still not that enamored with the group (and, yep,Stop\nMaking Sense was great) but the\nbook was recently\"remairidered,\"\nand therefore appeared at Book\nWarehouse at only $6.99.1 scooped\nup a copy. Kinda like coming across\na great deleted record!\nGary Herman, Rock'N'Roll Babylon (Perigee $9.95,190 pp): Almost\na decade old, this book serves the\ndirt on the trials and tribulations of\nstardom. Sordid and unforgiving,\nthis is rock's equivalent of Ken\nAnger's \"Hollywood Babylon.\"\nFrom Anita Pallenberg to Hank\nWilliams and \"Pigpen\" (the Dead)\nto Payola; here's the scoop on who\ndid what to whom and when and\nwhere. Pant, pant Warning: more\ncorpses than naked people.\nLester Bangs, Psychotic Reactions\nand Carburetor Dung (Vintage\n$9.95 US, 386 pp): To make a long\nstory, I was at a Wake for this book\nseller guy named Binky; it was the\nfirst time I ever ate duck (yum!),\ncelebrated a dead person's life or\nlaid my eyes oaCreem magazine...\nit was the most thrilling night of my\nthen lOyear existence. Lester Bangs\nwrote (oiCreem and his thoughts on\nshow biz were crudely-eloquent and\noff-the-walL He was hairy, loudmouthed and indulgent; his band-\nmates (of course he played, man)\nwere called the delinquents. In 1982\nLes bought it age 34. This collection\nfrom his writings say s as much about\na generation as it does the music.\nIggy Pop & Anne Wehrer, / Need\nMore (the Stooges and other Sto-\nri\u00C2\u00ABJ(Karz-Kohl$9.95,128pp):This\nis quite rare and a treat for Iggy fans\neverywhere. The tone is set from the\ncover photo of the lg monster suckling a nude\u00E2\u0080\u0094yes, female \u00E2\u0080\u0094 statue.\nSong lyrics (circa Zombie Bird-\nhouse, oh well), road tales, poetry,\nand pictures galore. I once sweet-\ntalked the librarian at the Fraser-\nview branch into ordering this... he\ndid... neat guy.\nTrouser Press Record Guide (Collier $23.95,658 pp)\nChristgau'sRecordGuide, the80's\n(Pantheon $24.50, 514 pp)\nThe mid-70's: The Rolling Stone\nRecord Guide comes out and I worship the thing, right down to its\nbright orange cover. What a great\nway to learn about all those albums\nI could never afford! I was an information rich and vinyl poor teen.\nThe 90's: Better written and vastly more informative books flood the\nshelves, er, along with a lotta junk,\nso buyer beware. My RS guide is as\nlong-gone as my musical tastes have\nchanged (or expanded). The Trouser Press Record Guide (3rd edition) is a review of music \"outside\nthe musical mainstream,\" including\nimports and independent labels.\nBless'em... this is the bock to own.\n1,900 bands are critiqued, all with\nshort, concise reviews of the record\nings. Here's a few groups found\nunder \"C'; Cabaret Voltaire, Captain Beefheart, Carmel, Nick Cave,\nCelibate Rifles.James Chance, Alex\nChilton (my heart goes thump).\nChrome, Circle Jerks, Clash, Cockney Rejects, Crass, Robert Cray.\nHow'sthatforvariation. Like, where\nelse does one go for a Cockney\nRejects' discography? Vital information for modem music fans.\nIra A. Robhins, editor of the TP\nguide had been co-founder of the\nlate magazine of the same name.\nTrouser Press existed for 10 yean\nand a total of 96 issues untill its\ndemise in 1984. Basically it was the\nnew music \u00E2\u0080\u0094 remember New\nWave? \u00E2\u0080\u0094 glossy fanzine with style\nand integrity, informing its readers\nwhile never talking down to them.\nThe tradition has continued with\nthis superb collection.\nI now bring up the subject of\nChristgau's record guide solely to\nemphasize what crap is available to\nus music fans. Mr C is America's\ntop rock critic... it says so right on\nthe front cover. This guy' s ego shadows each review like an eagle\nswooping in on its prey. Each graded \"insight\" is on average three sentences long with nary a word said\nabout actual music. Gossip is fun,\nsure, but we purchase record guides\nfor a discussion of the tunes.\nChuck's Picks \u00E2\u0080\u0094 my words\n#200 Alice Cooper Killer (1971)- Skip the \"Dead Babies\" thang\nand go for \"Halo of Flies,\" prime tex-mex psycho-drama.\n#84 Sonny Sharrock Guitar (1987) - Some time back. Sonny\nplayed Jazz-rock very loudly at a downtown club. Apparently it\nwas a mellow gig compared to this.\n#83 New York Dolls In too much too soon (1974)/ New York\nDolls NY Dolls (1973) - Damn I love it! Just grab these records\nn' slap 'em on the turntable. \"Lonely Planet Boy\" is the world's\nbest ballad.\n#1 Led Zeppelin Zoso (1971) - Number one! ...maybe for a few\nmonths during my teens. If I hear \"Black Dog\" one more\ntime...ick.\n#4 Aerosmith Toys in the Attic (1975) - \"Sweet Emotion\",\n\"Uncle Salty\", \"No more no more\", et al. One ofthe better bands\nI liked as a teenster.\n#86 Voivod Dimension Hatross (1988) - Snake is the leader.\nThat name reminds me of this guy who had a bit part on the\nPartridge Family. And Piggy's here too! Rocking Quebecois.\n#94 The S\tfeetDesolationBoulevard(\975) - \"I wannabe com-\nmit-ted\" is the line that always stayed w/mc \"Ballroom Blitz\",\n\"The 16's\", \"AC/DC\" \u00E2\u0080\u0094 heady adolescent tunes.\n# 338 The Dictators Go Girl Crazy (1975) - I don't wanna be\nmean, but these guys were old (I was 13) in '75. Uh, never\nactually heard' em either, but little teens shouldn' t hang w/curly\nhaired bruisers named \"Handsome Dick\". At 86th street soon!\nReally.\nYoo-hoo! So, if n you haven't heard... a book is being compiled about the one and\nonly D.O.A and you, yep you, could help make it a howling good success. Local\nmusic dude, Laurie Mercer, is lookin' for some boffo stories about the band... he's\ngot lots of posters and graphics, but needs more text., call Laurie at 684-9338.\nPEOPLE ARE READING\nEver wonder what people are reading? I do. Randy Raine-Reusch, local multi-talented musician, took the time to\nwrite and tell subtext.\nI was ten years old when I discovered that science fiction novels were a lot\nmore interesting than comic books. I began reading voraciously, and soon was\ndevouring short novels in a single day and longer novels in two.\nScience fiction not only stimulated my imagination but it also posed\nquestions about life and the universe that I couldn't answer. So it seemed only\nnatural that by the time I was thirteen I was reading/* Ws Republic and the\nTibetan Book ofthe Dead. By fifteen I had gone through most of the books in\nmy local library on the world's religions and philosophies (I favoured\nTaoism), and by seventeen I was heavily into existentialism (Sartre became a\nfavourite), while still reading all the science fiction I could find.\nGraduating from High School I found myself with a pack on my back\ntravelling the West Coast highways from Vancouver Island to California, with\nbooks on Haiku and Chinese short poems in my pockets. After a few years I\nsettled down a bit and added books on psychology to my bedside reading. The\nfollowing years found me solidifying the reading patterns that I still follow,\nadding sociology, anthropology, cthnomusicoiogy to all the above subjects.\nAlas, my life hasn't become safe and secure, instead I travel even more\nthan in my youth, and so should add guide and language books to the list But\nwhen at home, I tend to read many books simultaneously. Currently by my\npillow you can find: The Traditional Music of Japan (Shigeo Kishibe,\nOngaku No Tomo Sla),Sitar Music in Calcutta (James Hamilton, University of Calgary Press),G\u00C2\u00ABaing the Love You Want (Harville Hendrix, Harper\nand Row), The Child Green (Geoff Ryman, Unwin), andTA. Scions of\nShannara (Terry Brooks, Ballantine)-- the last two, the everpresent science\nfiction.\nI should also mention that I spend many hours totally lost in 77k New\nGrove Dictionary of Musical Instruments (Stanley Sadie Ed., Macmillan\nPress). As I compose and perform on instruments from a collection of over\n500, and this dictionary has 10 COO listings of instruments from non-westem\ncultures alone, I am in complete bliss sifting through its pages, from Ahoco\nto Zeze! Uh... got to go... I just saw a great article about a Bolon, an arched\nharp from West Africa that looks interesting\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Good Reading!\nAUGUST 1991 23 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0i >\n%\nPfl ** *\nUNDER REVIEW I\nVarious Artists\nSka Beats Vol #1\nROIR Cassettes\nIt had to happen: rude boys vs. digital samplers, dram machines and\nFX. Lately rap and hip hop artists\nhave graduated from sampling endless James Brown clips to sampling\nreggae in allits variousforms. Some,\nsuch as Shinehead, have successfully laid down some serious rap over\nreggae riddims, inspiring the term\n\"reggae hip hop fusion\" (if one must\nuse labels). If I had to label this\nrelease I would describe it as \"ska\nhip hop house acid fusion.\" Nuff\nsaid. This collection brings together\na group of 12\" singles that definitely\nuke the 2/4 riddim of ska into some\nnew territory. Unlike the British ska\nrevival of the late 70's, early 80's,\nby such bands as the Specials, English Beat and Madness, these tracks\nare based on samples of original\nSkatalites tunes & riddims, as opposed to being full remakes. Most of\nthese sampled tunes have that familiar tom-tom roll by Skatalites drummer extraordinaire Lloyd Knibbs\nkicking off each track. Longsy D is\nthe prominent artist on this collection, and was responsible for assembling this compilation. All but 4 of\nthe tracks define this collection. The\nremaining tracks have absolutely\nnothing to do with ska and are more\nhouse and acid in both rhythm and\nsubstance. Their inclusion on this\ncassette puzzle me and I'll\nappropriate material could have been\nincluded. Longsy D's \"This is Ska\"\nand \"Mental Ska\" set the theme while\nRoughnecks' \"Force 10 from Nav-\narone\" is a 'sequel' to the Skatalites\nbig hit \"Guns of Navarone,\" much\nlike the 2 movies of the same title.\n\"Force 10\"cont_instheoriginalmel-\nody, thanks to sampling, and then\nexpands into a beat-box tribute to\nthe original godfathers of ska \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nrespect due every time! \"We play\nSka,\" by Children of the Night (featuring Ranking Roger), is another\nstandout track that includes some\nsamples of vintage Jamaican calypso as well as the signature drum rolls\npreviously mentioned. If you are a\nlover of the original form, this collection is for you. As a ska-purist, I\ntook a chance in this release and\nwasn't disappointed. Presumably,\nwith the term \"Vol #1\" in the title, a\nsecond compilation is in the works.\nHopefully, ROIR will see fit to include a full slate of street-style ska\nwithout resorting to filler in order to\ncomplete the recording. ROIR cassettes and a catalog are available\nfrom ROIR # 411, 611 Broadway,\nNew York, N.Y. 10012\nMike Cherry\nVenus Beads\nIncision\nEmergo\nCompletely innocuous noisy guitar\npop that owes a heavy debt to My\nBloody Valentine's chart position.\nThe only thing more pathetic than\nwriting a song using treading water\nin rapids as a metaphor for life is\nprinting them for everyone to read.\nAdmittedly one of these gems could\nhave a nice spot in a smooch section\nof the Power Hour if they left that\npioneering noise out of the mix.\nSean Elliot\nUncle Tupelo\nNo Depression\nRockville\nIn 1986Soul Asylum released Mode\nto be Broken and now Tupelo has\nrewritten it, leaving perhaps one\ncatchy hook and adding more references to the singer's drinking problem than dread references on a Lenny Krevitz album. I don't find the\nfact that I cringe to a song opening\nup with an acoustic guitar and the\nline \"On liquor, I spend my last\ndime\" that odd.\nSean Elliot\nYabby You\nBeware Dub\nROIR Cassettes\nVivian Jackson, aJc.a. Yabby You,\nhas been active as both a singer and\nproducer in Jamaica since the early\n70's. His distinctive roots style of\nreggae is somewhat mystical in nature\u00E2\u0080\u0094heavily reflecting his strong\nfaith in Rastafarianism. His moderate success as an artist led to production duties in the late 70's until\nproblems with record piracy and a\nganja bust led to hibernation until\nthe mid-80's. Coaxed back into the\nstudio, he released the brilliant Fie e -\ning from the City. Beware Dub is a\ncollection of B-side dub versions\nfrom Yabby's stable of artists from\nhis production days and has been a\nlong sought after collectors item \u00E2\u0080\u0094\ndifficult to find even in Jamaican\nrecord outlets. ROIR negotiated\nwith Yabby You direcdy for the\nrights to Beware Dub, having been\nonly previously released in limited\nquantities in the U.K., Jamaica and\nFrance. What A gem this collection\nis! I dare say this release deserves to\nbe ranked within the 10 greatest dub\nrecordings of all time. The riddims\nare thick and sinewy in a distinctive\nrockers styles. The horns of Tommy McCook, Bobby Ellis and Rico\nRodriguez bristle and punctuate\neach track. Every now and then a\nfragment of vocal by Tiny Tuff or\nthe Prophets weave in and out of ihe\ntracks. Some dub records are hard\nto sit through from one side to an\nother, but these tracks are all busy\nenough to hold ih e lis ten crs ihrough\ntwo very long sides. Mixed by the\nlate King Tubby and his protege\nPrince Jammy, these classic Channel One productions, by Yabby &\ncompany, show the art of dub coming to full maturity in rools fashion.\nThe tracks hold the passage of time\nquite nicely and show that reggae in\nits heyday as a popular style was a\nforce to be reckoned with. These\ndubs no doubt have inspired many\ncontemporary dubmeisters to bring\nthe form into the nineties with the\nhard riddims serving as the basis\nfor elaborate re-workings and experiments. \"Give Praises\" and\n\"Prophets\" are exceptional pieces\nand the tides are indicative of Yabby ' s rasta lifestyle. Nyabingi drum-\nmerScully adds a rootsy embellishment to most of these tracks giving\nthem an organic feel often lost in\ndub. As with all ROIR releases,\nwell researched and written liner\nnotes provide a good background to\nYabby You's career and production credits. Beware Dub deserves\nto be considered a \"desert idle disc'\nand certainly showcases dub definitively by the highly under-rated\nYabby You and Channel One crew.\nBeware \u00E2\u0080\u0094 this is one tuff dub!!!\nMike Cherry\nMy Life With The Thrill Kill\nKurt.\nSexplosion\nCargo/Wax Trax\nI had heard on the wind of rumour\nthat the Thrill Kill were going 'Disco,' but it had not prepared me for\ntheir latest release, Sexplosion\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nget out your white suits and platform shoes and BOOGIE!\nI can't decide whether to\nlike'emfor doing such a turnaround\nor be annoyed fo losing most of\ntheir hilarious horror movie samples.

Mr. Spit, the\ninfamous psycho,\nwrote this fucking\npiece of shit of an album. So sorry, but I\nthink this brings me\nto my next point, censorship. Personally I\nthink he was not testing the artistic boundaries of society, rather, his demented mind\nwanted to make just\none plain disgusting\nalbum.

The Cycle Sluts are reminiscent of a female Danzig, with a\nsmidgen of Motorhead thrown in\nfor good measure. The Cycle Slut-\nare sort of lyrically and ideologically a Heavy Metal version of BWP\nbut they delve deeper into the darker side of the human psyche wilh\nreferences to S&M and BAD, although the dust cover alone would\ntell you that.

The Walker dida 5 song/40minute\nset featuring a couple of new ditties\nand was as good an opening act as\ncan be expected playing to a Vancouver audience in a club prone to\ndistance you from the band. Not\ntheir best outing but definitely not\ntheir worst I've seen either (the one\nthat won them Shindig). The Jesus\nLizard had shit sound and had to deal\nwith the barrier, if this was the only\ntime you saw them you missed out.\nJr. had nice lighted cows and some\nnice frogs and J. Mascis had a nice\ngut and a nice guitar with the pedals\nnicely hidden in a suitcase. Ihe\ncrowd was the usual assortment of\nassholes who go to shows only when\nand if it's at a big hall and the band\nis played on Much Music, Coast 800\n(now that it pitifully exists:\u00E2\u0080\u0094 not\nthat I listen to CiTR, or even can\u00E2\u0080\u0094\njust that London Calling hits weren 't\nparticularly frightening in 1979 to\nCFMI so don't pass it of as bold\nnow), and is in Spin, or worse yet,\nRolling Stone. Jr. would have impressed me much more if they'd just\nwalked off in the first couple of\nminutes after J. realized his Mic\nwasn't grounded and people were\nyelling at them to play... but play\nthey did for an hour and a half to a\ncrowd consisting almost entirely of\npeople who couldn't have cared less\nthe year of Dinosaur's one great LP\nand boneheads who insist\n'Loud=slamming with the intent to\nmaim.' Tell everyone you know that\nSean Elliot\nThe Feelies\nfIREHOSE\nSarcastic Mannequins\n86 Street\nSunday 30 June\nI learned long ago to avoid the' zany'\nopeners but I bet they were' wacky.'\nHow they got this bill confuses me\nbut Mike Watt seems the gullible\ngoofball type and he called them\ntheir'homeboys' so go figure. fIRE\nHOSE left me in a state of panic and\nI couldn't stand still. That is to say,\nwith no ins and outs policy, some of\nthe very worst sound I've heard\n(tons of distorted rumbling overlaid\nwith plenty of screeching) and a\ngood to shit song ratio of about 1 to\n8.1 was left to wander in the vain\nhope of refuge. Apparently most of\nthese music fans disagreed with me\nand lapped it up. The need to slam,\nhoot, and holler (especially to \"Lou\nReed\" and \"I Love Rock\") never\nreally occurred to me while listening to the Feelies at home but I've\nnever been to a keg party or gone\nfag-bashing either so I guess I've\nyet to live. Fortunately I was able to\nstand up front fairly comfortably\nand I'm thankful for this was a fine\nset of mostly newer material from\none of the only bands on a major\nlabel that does anything interesting\nwith jangly guitars... and you youngsters out there thought that was the\nNorthern Pikes. Sure, they're not\nangst filled teens but you'reafool to\npass them up for being wimpy or\nbetter yet lame. An hour long set\nwith nearly a 1/2 hour encore most\nof which featured the 'hose' boys\nand was comprised entirely of covers. What else can I say, other than\nthank you Feelies for requesting no\nsmoking during your set and that it\nwarmed my heart to see shmoes in\ntheir recently acquired Replacements t-shirts.\nSean Elliot\nMudwimmin\nFacepuller\nCruel Elephant\nSunday 14 July\nSo Just as the final cut off date for\nthis mag was rearing its head ever\ncloser, I just happened to go see\nFacepuller and Mudwimmin.\nFacepuller were alright I saw\nthem at Poison Idea and thoroughly\nenjoyed their show. However, at the\nCruel Elephant, they were just too\nloud and distorted to actually be\nenjoyed let alone reviewed posi-\nMudwimmin toned down a bit,\nbut they were ju st too stupid to really do anything for me. The band\nconsisted of five bizarrely clads\nwimmin (I liked their clothes anyway) who had no feel for music\nwhatsoever. I left early, basically\ndisgusted with the whole thing.\nAngle Finley\nCoal\nRidge Theater\nSaturday 20 July\nIf ambient music is the musical direction of the '90s, as some feel it\nwill be, than Coal has a clear head-\nstart on the rest of Vancouver's local\nbands. Everything about the evening\nwas orchestrated to provide the artists, and the audience, with a unique\natmosphere for the performance, including the venue\u00E2\u0080\u0094 a movie house\nwhich rarely permits bands to play\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe lit candles on the stage, an open\nwine bottle on a speaker, and the\n1950s National Film Board of Canada movie\u00E2\u0080\u0094 showing \"the wonders\nof space\" to earthbound Canadians\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nprojected behind the band. As forthe\nmusic. Coal provided a short half\nhour set of minimalist ethereal rock\nmusic, with the occasional blues'\nslide guitar. Lyrically, Coal primarily dealt with the topics of the heavens. Hell, and human souls. They\nwere billed as Patsy Cline meets the\nCramp, which is a somewhat ambitious label but still close enough to\nthe truth. The lead singer sounded a\nlot like Julee Cruise, while the lead\nguitarist twice stepped forward to\nsing despite his gruff and generally\nill-suited singing voice. While it was\nan intriguing evening. Coal's music\nmay not yet be strong enough to\nstand on its own without a well-\ncrafted atmosphere, such as would\nhappen on record.\nChris Buchanan\nYet there's more...\nSo after a whole month of seeing\ngigs,I decided to just say some small\nmeaningless somethings about the\nmore interesting bands I saw. You\nknow, ones that left even a faint\nimpression on my fickle mind. Those\nthat left a foul taste in my mouth I'd\nrather just choose to ignore. So...\nhere goes.\nPlaying at the TwilightZone's\nOpen Door, Sister Lovers rocked\nup a storm, literally. After sitting\nthrough two rather dull and predictable bands, it was refreshing to actually see some creative energy on\nstage. Always ready with one gimmick or another, this band is consistently, perhaps even over, enthusiastic when they hit the floor. Such\nenthusiasms, great for the audience,\nis nevertheless not fully appreciated\nby club owners. Despite the fact that\nthese guys seem fraught with technical difficulties and perhaps too much\nattitude for their own good, they\ndeserve a look-see. Hey, you may\neven see them kicked off the stage.\nFourth Floor is another band\nI just happened to see. They were a\nstrange mixture of really cool guitar\nand rhythm sounds with, unfortunately, very pop, synthesizer stuff. I\nthink this band has a lot of potential\nbut only if they tone down on the\nsynth and maybe cut the lead singers\nvocals. The bass player and drummer had great voices which go over\na lot belter and do not sound so glam\nSpeaking of glam, when I went\nSinner's Squad opened. They may\nbe good in their own ways, but their\nnegative attitude towards the world\nleft an offensive odor... Well enough\nNaked Lunch, however, were\ngreat. With their new lead singer and\na recent Bandwarz win, these guys\ncould be headed for some real action\nin the music scene. Their rockin'\nbrand of heavy metal slash weir-\nvocals slash interesting lyrics truly\nimpressed me. I had heard good\nthings about them before and they\ntotally lived up to my expectations.\nUnfortunately, they don't have any\nkind of demo or album available yet,\nhopefully one will be on the way\nBob's Your Uncle and Roots\nRoundup were another couple of\nbands that I saw. Roots was their\nusual brand of high energy, danceable great tunes. A friend commented that there seemed to be a lot of tree\nplanters in the audience as there so\nmuch unleashed energy in the place.\nI had never seen Bob's Your Uncle\nUve before. One stupid late night\nVancouvercable show I'd seenyears\nbefore had always given me a negative impression of them. But now\nthat I've actually seen them I\nwouldn't hesitate to go see them\nagain. Sook-Yin Lee, the very charismatic lead singer kept the show\ninteresting and very entertaining.\nOne of her very own paintings also\nadorned the stage.\nEugene Ripper's Dead Head\nCool was another interesting band I\nsaw. They played at the Railway\nClub on a Sunday night, and although there were only about four\npeople there, I thoroughly enjoyed\ntheir show. They were pretty reg-\ngae-ish and quite danceable if you'd\nhad enough beer. Unfortunately,\nSunday at the Railway isn't conducive to drawing large crowds. However, they were worth a Usten for\nInteresting bands... all local,\naU very happening. Check them out.\nA Voice of Dissent on the\nJazz Festival\nWell, I was crossing my fingers that the Jazz festival would be\nmore interesting this year and it was\nbetter than lasl year, as far as I was\nconcerned. I didn't really see much\n\"jazz\", though, al least nothing\nfreaked out, or experimental. But\nwhat I did see was a lot of was\ncontemporary versions of traditional styles like R&B, soul, American/\nLatin American fusion, and the traditional music styles from a couple\nother countries. This was not necessarily a bad thing, in fact, my experience at the Jazz Festival was no\ndoubt shaped by my unfamiUarity\nwith most of the names in Jazz Festival line up, while most of my attention was directed to the Commodore\nshows my friend caught lots of wild\nstuff at the Western Front and the\nGlass SUpper.\nThe Commodore shows were\nobviously centered around danceable stuff, which was stiU a funky\ngood thing. Maceo Parker and\nRoots Revisited played two funky\nsets with some tasty mainstream jazz\nsUding around on top of the shppery\nbass organ. Each set was an amazing\nhour in length, and the JB Homs\n(Pee Wee, Fred and Maceo) funked\nus into a cold sweat with a number of\nMr. Brown's tunes mixed with their\nown stuff (the JB Homs have quite a\nfew albums). Otis Clay and the Chicago Fire kicked some \"oh baby, I\nlove you\" soul with smokin' r&b\nenergy.\nI didn't go see Aster Aweke\nbecause I thought her new CD release was boring, but reliable sources said she had an energetic and\nentertaining show. Oh well, better\nRegrettably, I could not get to\nthe World Saxophone Quartet\nshow but my magical friend enjoyed\nthe show very much and told me that\nthe four of them, unaccompanied,\nhad been able to perform the beautifully rhythmic music from their latest CD release, Metamorphoses,\nwhich has a strong African drum\nEddie Palmier) put on a good\nshow that occasionally lapsed into\nself- indulgence. But his band of\nexceUent musicians (including a phenomenal bongo player and conga\nplayer) made up for the slack moments with some highlight solos.\nThe best show that I saw for\nthe festival was Salif Keita. Some of\nthis man's albums are a bit overproduced with loud, bland keyboards,\nbut live he, and his band, had that\ngreat mix of stage presence, confidence, beautiful music and excellent\nsound that brought his show up above\nthe rest. I almost didn't go because\nofthe $24 tab, but some guy sold me\nhis ticket for $15,1 was so grateful\nfor that after seeing Salif s powerful\nOn CANADA DAY I was all\npumped up to see David Moss play\nin John King's Electric World. We\nhave two Moss records at the station\nwhich are full of crazy experimental\nmusic with some really hot players\nlike Fred Frith, Tom Cora, John Zom,\nChristian Marclay, Jamaladeen\nTacuma, Arto Lindsay and others.\nI've been playing these two albums\nlots lately, so I was really pumped up\nto see some wild and crazy jazz.\nInstead, I got kicked in the head by\nwanking r&b funk, standard style,\nwith almost zero soul and way too\nmuch flash riff-wank. Of course, a\nlot of the audience thought this was\na really good, sort of funky r&b\ngroove, but my expectations of noise,\nbordering on chaos, improvisations\nwere dashed so thoroughly that I\ncould hardly even raise my rock and\nroll demon worshipping 'banger salute of ceremonial sarcasm against\nthe John King Wankmonster machine. It was bullshit Why they were\ndefecating this crap at a jazz festival\nI don't know, and these guys should\nknow better. But had I not been so\nenthused about seeing Moss I would\nnot have seen The Happy End. This\nis a really big ensemble, with lots of\nbrass, that uses a lot of traditional\narrangements and medley-like songs\nthat have an infectious fun humour\nto them. They had a varied and colourful showcase, a lot of homs, a\nlively stage presence and their live\nshow was fairly representative of\ntheir new CD Turn Things Upside\nAfter the disaster, local musician Celso Machado performed solo\non guitar. He had a very percussive\napproach to his instrument, often\nplaying il like a drum. Celso also\nleads the popular local percussion\nensemble \"Batucada B.C.\", which\nplayed at the Dragon Boat Festival\nand will be performing this summer\naround Vancouver.\nThe Brazilian drumming group\nOladum paid a surprise visit next\nand the plaza was dancing and chanting with these energetic performers.\nThe last group was Henneto\nPascoal and his Latin American fusion. It was great to dance to and I\nenjoyed myself while they played,\nbul,like mosl of the afternoon, it was\nfairly conventional.\nAnd that was it, the end of the\nJazz Festival had arrived. I didn't\nsee anything on the experimental\nside of jazz, not to say that it wasn't\nthere, but I still thoroughly enjoyed\nthe Festival and its healthy celebration of music.

With\nhis Blasphemy shirt and Made, this\nguy was a pretty scary looking\nmotherfucker. Musically, Grave\nMistake is heaviness, quickness and\nThe second act was Rusty\nNails, formerly from Calgary. For\nthe most part there was good quality\nrock coming out of these guys. Their\nmusic wasn't crazy or complicated,\njust solid songs with good catchy\nriffs. Buzz, the frontman, was excellent to watch because the guy's got\ngreat moves. When he wasn't holding the microphone to his crotch, he\nhad his arms stretched out with a\ncrazy voodoo type grin on his face.\nThe Nails seemed to divide the set\ninto two parts: the first being the\nhard rock section and the second\nbeing a Stevie Ray, hoedown section. Judging by the crowds reaction, or dosie doeing, they didn't\nmind it, but for me, Rusty Nails'\nhonky tonk deal was sucking large\namounts of corn cob.\n10 Feet Tall was on third and\nhad the biggest draw of the night, but\njust didn't do it for me this time: lots\nof physical energy, but the songs all\nsounded the same. It was as if they\nused the same drum beat for every\nsong.\nLast, but not least. Cat's\nGame. They weren't left with a lot\nof time to play, but they made the\nmost of what they had. This time\nthey were dressed in surgical greens\nwith the traditional stockings on their\nheads \u00E2\u0080\u0094 gotta like it. For some\nstrange reason. Cat's Game doesn't\nhave the best of luck at the A rcadian.\nInstead of being interrupted by the\ncops, they were interrupted by the\nloss of a speaker. Fortunately Jinx\nand crew quickly rectified the problem and the show continued. After\npunching outmost of the tunes from\ntheir new tape, 12 o'clock showed\nup and it was all over. But as Pete\nand I headed for the stage, Cat's\nGame went back onstage for an\nencore quickie. Without a doubt,\ntheirversion of Descendants' \"Loser\" was a great way to end an excellent 6 buck night.\nOctatrakter are likely to be\ndormant for a while, what with the\nloss of their vocalist and drummer.\nBut Justice assures me that he and\nDarren plan to keep the band going\nand that we should see some sort of\nre-emergence in the near future. In\nthe meantime, the two of them will\nbe opening forthe Volcano Suns\non Aug 12,at the CruelElephant.in\ntheir new band Cutthroat\nI was talking to Mark, ex-\ndrummer from MSR, about his experiences with that gig-making machine, the Open Door. He felt his\nband was not well treated, citing\ninstances such as having Mary\nthrust upon them as headliners at\nwhat was supposed to be an MSR/\nPiss Queen gig and the fact that\nnone of the MSR members were\never paid more than $7 a piece.\nChris (the head guy at the Open\nDoor) denies all this, claiming that\nAsh and Gary from Piss Queen\nwere responsible for setting the gig\nup, getting Mary to headline, and\npaying the bands. All I can say is\nthat bands that don't want to be\ntreated as a sellable commodity\nshould be careful about dealing with\n\"businessmen\" types.\nI saw Goriila Gorilla in July\nat the Cruel Elephant and was very\nsurprised. When I walked in they\nwere doing their funky tunes, but\nwhen they were about halfway\nthrough they went into an unexpected hardcore mode. It started\nwith a couple of Bad Brains tunes\nand kept going from there. The\nsongs they did for the rest of the\nnight may not get them a big-ass\nrecord deal right away, but they\nwere a fuck of a lot better than the\nstuff they usually play. You make\nthecalL\nIt's timeforFacepullerfun.\nI saw them open up for the Hog\nbrothers at Club Soda on July 9th\nand they were excellent. Even\nthough they had wireless difficulties for the last two songs, they\nwere sounding great. They wanted a\nfast set and they gave a fast set. If\nyou've seen the Steve Taylor/Poison art crap on the walls you can't\nblame the Puller for wanting to just\ndo their thing and get the hell out.\nBiker shorts are for riding bikes you\nlosers. Go back to Glamland where\nyou came from and, for fucks sake,\ntake Violet Addiction with you (nice\nadguys).IwatchedChrome Dog's\nfirst few tunes (they were also on the\nbill as well as Kiss Kiss'n'Bang)\nand then split soon after. They\nseemed to be doing a psychedelic\nCult type thing which wasn't sounding that great I missed K. K. and the\nSunshine Bang for obvious reasons\nas well as the beloved Hog with\nZiggy filling in for Jesus Hag. Have\na good tour guys!\nBack to Facepuller. Those crazy fuckers have just recorded three\nnew tunes at Mushroom. The package will be called Cranial Expansion Device and will contain the\nsongs: \"Dayshift,\" \"X-Garbage-\nman,\" and \"Firebomb.\" At future\nshows watch for setlists and sing-along lyric sheets that are to be passed\naround before they start their audio/\nvisual shenanigans.\nOn the local record release\nfront, be sure to watch out for The\nMint is a Terrible Thing to Taste.\nThis seven incher, the debut release\nfrom the newly formed Mint\nRecords, features Windwalker and\nTankhog each doing a cover of a\ndifferent Ministry song- \"Burning\nInside\" and \"So What\" respectively... it's bound to be interesting.\nA friend of mine once said that\nhe figured Victoria had a better music scene because not only were there\nmore bands and better crowd support, but they actually had a band\nnamed Bum. When I listened to\ntheir demo of well-crafted pop punk\ntunes bands like Sludgeworth or\nNaked Raygun or even the Eastern\nDark popped into my mind. Now\nthat I've done the obligatory \"it\nsounds like this\" comparison, you\ncan check them out for yourself at\nthe Cruel Elephant (along wilh Ham-\nmerbox)on Aug 16. You also might\nwant to watch for a seven inch to be\nreleased on Lance Rock Records,\nwhich should be out., fuck it, I hate\ntrying to guess record release dates.\nJust watch for il, it promises to be\nSticking with Victoria, my\nbuddy Pete saw the Clusterfux at\nthe Elephant on the 3rd and was\ngiven a tape on the house so that I\ncould check it out. Apparently\nthey've been taking a long break but\nare now getting things going again.\nTheir nine song The Rats are All\nAround cassette suns off with \"Feelers,\" which has an awesome opening guitar deal that's really cool. The\nsong then goes into fast mode before\nreturning to the intro guitar thing.\nThey also do \"I don't like Mondays,\" which sounds exactly like it\nwould if The Nice were doing it with\nEmerson playing guitar instead of\norgan. The tape has the thrashy feel\nwithout the whining guitar sound.\nThe tune \"Keep Me Mellow\" puts\nyou in a Wipers mood with the \"My\nVengeance\" guitarriff. But the song\nis really cool so there's no problem.\nPete tells me they are better live than\non tape, so I would definitely check\nthem out when they come back because the tape is worth the trouble. < FliTUiiE\nBY TARA SLOAN\nWelcome to yet another edition of\nFuture Rap! CiTR received a large\namount of new rap CDs at the last\nminute so excuse the briefness in\ncertain areas.\nAs far as CD singles go, a few\nnew ones have come out, including:\nSlick Rick with \"I Shouldn't Have\nDone It,\" which is a story quickly\ndelivered over some simple hip hop\nbeats; Downtown Science's tune\n\"Room to Breathe,\" which is a slow\npaced, rather boring song that tries\nto incorporate all forms of music\ninto it; Leaders of the New School\nwith \"Sobb Story;\" and Nikki-D's\nsecond single, \"Hang on Kid,\" which\nseems to follow the same theme as\nher first single, \"Daddy's Little\nGirl,\" where Nikki starts out as being sweet and innocent to her father\nbut then we realize that she's naughty and nasty and wants to be \"Queen\nofthe Night Scene.\" \"Hang on Kid\"\nisn't bad. Let's hope that a full LP\nrelease will soon appear, with varying issues though.\nLakim Shabazz's 1990 release, The Lost Tribe of Shabazz,\nwas recorded on Tuff City records.\n1_e release includes such songs as\n\"The Voice of Power,\" \"Black and\nProud,\" and \"Blackis Black,\" which\nreveals the basis upon which the 12\ntrack CD has been written. The majority of the songs contain complaints of how the black man was\nrobbed of his pride and the ridiculous incorrect stereotypes placed\nupon him. Lakim's deep voice rolls\nsmoothly over the tracks as he expresses his anger through his well-\ncomposed lyrics. It seems that some\nof Lakim's writing is close to Kool\nMoe Dee's format, although Lakim\nis more into his culture. Tambourines, flutes, homs, and bass drums\nare just a few of the instruments\nused on this CD. The best song,\ninvolving samples of Hack speakers and the Flavor unit\u00E2\u0080\u0094Motivator\nConnection, is called \"No Justice\nNo Peace.\"\nIf you've been waiting for\nsome new house/dance music to arrive, wait no longer, it's here: from\nCapilolRecords comes Simply Ma-\njestic's, The Album. It includes the\ntwo well-known dance hits, \"Play\nthe Music DJ,\" by Brothers From\nthe Ghetto, featuring Frank Mor-\nrell, and \"Dance to the Music,\" by\nSimply Majestic, featuring B-Kool.\nFrank Morrell also appears on a cou-\npleof othertracks with BFTG. Overall, his rhymes lack originality and\nbecome irritating, as they are very\nmainstream and repetitive. B-Kool\nalso tends to stick to a simple party\nformula, although he proves himself\nsomewhat superior to Morrell in his\nsong, \"Kool and Deadly,\" which is a\nrougher, more streetstyle, slice (even\nthe house beat is less obvious). Por-\nsha-Lee appears on \"Destiny,\" where\nshe paints an unrealistic view of\nlove (\"Oh baby\" and \"You're my\nknight in shining armour.\" Oh\nplease!). Definitely a watery love\nsong for 95.3 FM. Yes Z, this one's\nfor you. Intelligent and original\nrhyming techniques are severely\nlacking. But the production, being\nhouse, is clear and concise, loud and\nthumping. Samples, clean cut, are\nadequately thrown in here and there\nand produce a completely digitalized\nsound. If house music is what you\ndig, and you aren't one to bug over\nrepetitive lyrics, then perhaps you\nmight want this for your collection.\nCanada... It's about time! Finally a RAP release featuring Canadian rap acts only! A compilation,\ntitled the Cold Front Rap Compilation, includes a few well-known rappers, such as Maestro Fresh-Wes,\nthe Dream Warriors, Main Source,\nand Kish, along with some new\nnames. Sonyalive, a female rapper,\nspeaks of unity, togetherness, and\nthe disgrace of black on black crime.\nHer voice is rather quiet and her\nrhymes are a bit so-so but, overall,\nherpositivity rules as power. Another group of female rappers, known\nas the New Black nation, appear in\n\"Soul Vibration,\" where the issue of\nknowledge being the key to succes\nis well portrayed. Peace goes out to\nthe Motherland as these Sistas bust\ntheir rhymes steadily. KGB, back to\nthe male rappers, lets the bass kick,\nthe guitar pluck and the beats drop\non \"Letters of Three.\" The rhymes\ncome out somewhat sloppily, but\nquick and flowin'. It's probably one\nof the finer tracks. For an all-Canadian (Toronto based) compilation,\nthis CD is slammin'! With professional sounding production and a\nvariety of styles comin' outloudand\nclear, the hope of Can Con appearing on the Hip Hop map is yet another giant step closer. Remember to\nsupport your local talent y'all!\nTheChubbsterishere! Chubb\nRock's 16 Track CD, containing\njust over an hour of music, called\nThe One, has just been released\nthrough Select records. The club hit\neveryone goes wild for, \"Treat'em\nRight,\" is on this release, along with\nquite a few other tracks that tend to\nlean a bit too far into the boasting\ncategory. \"The Night Scene\" is a\ntune worth checkin' out. It deals\nwith the issues of prostitution.desire\nfor the \"good life,\" drugs and thugs.\nChubb Rock suggests that the\nbrothers'n'sisters research their history and work together as a team\n(because blacks with egos will flop).\n\"Bring'em Home Safely,\" featuring\n3rd Bass, speaks of the terrorist actions in the Persian Gulf. The lyrics\naredeliveredovera sad, slow-groov-\nin', melody. The rap talks of mothers crying, letters being read under\ncandles, and the inhumane conditions the soldiers were subjected to.\nThis last track is deep...\nSpeaking of moving music,\nHea vy D and the Boyzhave come\nout with an album completely different than their last one. Peaceful Journey consists of 14 songs and is dedicated to the memory of Troy M.\nDixon (Trouble T-Roy). Obviously\nthe absence of this member affected\nthe outcome of this release because\na number of the songs cut very deep.\nAfter listening to the first few pieces, including the dance hit (on the\nfunk tip), \"Now That We've Found\nLove,\" and the next two, both love-\nmush, I wasn't sure how much more\nI could take! But then the tables\nturned. \"Sister Sister\" is dedicated\nto the black women who have loved\nand raised their family and worked\nhard to keep things moving. Heavy\nDraps,\"It'shardtobeblack,buthell\nto be a black lady.\" The best song on\nthis CD has got to be \" Peaceful Journey,\" which is sent out to those on\nthe streets. It involves the issues of\nchildren getting beaten, lyin\", steal-\nin', killin' and the idea that children\nare not born bad, that they're all\nGod's children. Heavy D states he\nunderstands why certain actions occur and that perhaps plenty of violence would stop if the hiring of\ncrooked cops was stopped. \"Letter\nto the Future\" is a tune that suggests\nyou should not be bigger than you\nare, that you get educated, stay out of\njail (as it is cool to be free), get a job,\nand work hard. Funky bass lines are\nheard throughout and the production\nis smooth.\nN.W.A.'s EFIL4ZAGGIN\n(Niggaz 4 Life) has been striking\nsome wild controversy, no doubt\nintentional. The CD has 18 tracks (7\nof which are written by the D.O.C.)\nand is produced by Dr. Dre and Yella\nfor High Powered Productions. This\nalbum consists of a number of songs\nthat are demeaning to women, such\nas \"To Kill a Hooker\" and \"One Less\nBitch.\" It's obvious that these boyz\ndon't play. They have lost their flavour for hype lyrics, (Ice Cube's\nsuperior!!!) and the production is\nmore diverse. A song, originally by\nParliament (with non-explicit lyrics), has been rewritten by Eazy-E,\nwho sings! Eazy-E plus singing\nequals wack! Though the majority\nof this CD is lacking, a few tracks\nkick some butt around. \"Real Niggaz Don't Die,\" \"Approach to Danger,\" and \"The Dayz of Waybeck\"\nare pretty dope. To show just how\nmature these young black gentlemen are, \"Message to B.A.\"has been\nincluded, as for tasteful lyrics, \"She\nswallowed it\" about sums it up. I\nused to kick back and say \"Yeah,\nN.W.A. is dope.\" But not anymore!\nYeah when Ice Cube was behind the\nPosse, but now they can only do one\nthing: \"Find'em, Fuck'em, and\nHeel\"\nDef Jam/Columbia... another\nhint? O.K... 23 tracks! Yes, 3rd\nBass' Derelicts of Dialect has hit\nthe stands with crazy scratches and\nsamples, guitar riffs, and humorous\nbreaks throughout- Vanilla Ice gets\ndissed in \"Ace in the Hole\" (meaning sole) where 3rd Bass chants \"Ice,\nIce, Baby, No Soul, No SouL\" This\nlengthy release still has the original\n3rd Bass flavour. The radio hit, \"Pop\nGoes the Weasel,\" is here with 2\nversions. The production is peaking.\nAlthough there seems to be many\ntracks, quite a few of them are short\nbreaks and skits. \"Portrait of the\nArtist as Hood,\" as well as, \"No\nMaster Plan No Master Race,\" and\n\"Microphone Techniques\" are hype.\nThere are plenty of speeding backup\nbeats. Chubb Rock guest stars in\n\"Kick'em in the Grill\" and in \"Microphone Techniques,\" where the\nhomes kicks \"Would use the f-word\nbut Ice Cube got the copyright.\"\nWord! \"Problem Child\" shows that\n3rd Bass is socially aware by discussing the life/death and times of a\n'Problem Child.' No Gas Face to...\nKool Moe Dee seems to be\nhaving a lot of pressure on him these\ndays. On his new album, Funke\nFunke Wisdom, bragging is the majority of the lingo\u00E2\u0080\u0094 not bragging\nconstantly how dope he is, but rather\nhow tough. \"Funke Wisdom\" is definitely a funke track, no doubt about\nthat. Samples from Parliament's\n\"Atomic Dog\" are found in \"Here\nWe Go Again,\" which is a track for\nthose who cannot understand his\ncomplex language and, therefore, he\nmust water it down for those less\nintelligent. A few less than fresh\ntracks include \"To the Beat Y'All,\"\na party song using basic \"step up\nsucker\" lyrics, and \"How Kool Can\nOne Black Man Be,\" a slow track\nwith basically the message \"I'm\nkooL\" L.L. Cool J. is asked to step in\nthe ring in \"Death Blow,\" where\nKool Moe Dee says that he wants to\nbattle L.L. (in a big way!). All in all,\nthis CD is not that great.\nK.M.D.hasreleasedMr.Woa/\non EJektra records. There is notmuch\nto say about this CD. K.M.D. sound\nlike a mix between Brand Nubian\nand A Tribe Called Quest's style.\nThe loops are simple and the length\nofthe release is over an hour. Guitars\nare twangin', homs are tootin', and\nanti-smoking/drugs lyrics are\npresent Also, there are breaks between certain tracks that are funny.\nThe Brand Nubians are featured on\n\"Nitty Gritty.\"\nProfessor X's Years ofthe 9,\nOn the Black Hand Side is totally\nuplifting. If ProfessorX irritated you\non X-Clan's CD.ignoreit This man\nis DOPE! This brother is truly hip.\nCan you dig it? Support the Black\nWatch Movement Sissy!!!\nAsfor the rapper of the month...\nIce Cube is up for it His part in the\ncontroversial film Boyz N the Hood\nis well done. This young brother is\nprogressing rapidly. Peace out to the\nfuture projects.\nAUGUST 1991 27 SUNDAYS\nARE YOU SERIOUS?
