Ed: Apparently not ... 

ear Dickheads, 

Well, you got me 

Timmy boy. Why do people 

bitch about bands? Hmmmm. 

Let's think about it. Well 

maybe it is because we live in 

America and we want to exercise 

our rights. Or maybe it's 

for entertainment. Or maybe 

just maybe, it's because I can 

and you can't stop me. That's 

the beauty of it. I can say what 

I want, you can say what you 

want. I can also see that you are 

the "why can't we all just get 

along" type. You're right, however, 

I don't want people ta 

think the same as I do. I just , 

wanted to point out some fallacies 

in those young boys 

statement. So if you'd get 

Hooked on Phonics 

and learned to read you'd have 

realized that. Hev that's iust mv 

, l~ear dickheadr, . 

I can't believe 

you put Joan Armatrading in 

your magazine! What next, Neil 

Diamond? How in the hell ...

GNEWS and GNOTES 

Well, not much has changed, 

except political articles 

throughout my fav'e non political 

mag. Whassup? This is 

what happens when you let 

Republicans out of their closets. 

Next thing you know, 

cocaine witl get big again and 

people witl be running around 

'dance clubs' with gold Johnny 

Bravo bracelets and bad 

clothes listening to bands like 

Haircut 1,OO and the Thompson 

Twins. (spare me the letters) 

Speaking of bad music, since 

Madonna's not doing anything(or

GRAMMY THIS! 

An (1n)~xclusi;~ Report 

Satur4ay, February 24: After cutting 

costs drastically (Flying coach, bringing own 

booze and %dewear), I submit my projected 

travel expbhses for my assigpment to . 

cover the 3i)t.h Annual'Grdrrtmp Award* to 

Boss G and Queen C at SLUG headquarters. 

Much screaming and fuqditure hurling 

ensues. "C'mon you cheap bastards! Grid 

spends more than that on software! How the 

hell am I going to do a story on the fucking 

Grammyst3 if I can't even get to L.A.?" "Hey! 

Just be glad you can actually say fuck in 

THIS magazine! I don't care what you do-- 

we ain't payin' for it, capish?'says G, climbing 

into,his lavish new hot tub that occupies 

'the space that used to be my office. 'Yeah, ' . 

and get me that bottle of Chateau '57 while , 

you're up--or do you need ~1- goddamned , 

expense account to do that. too?" chjmes in 

C. After reIieving myself into the nice bubbly 

water, I set out to devise a new plan'of attack. 

Sunday, fibruary 25: My birthday 

(Don't e"en ask),/hnd it always fqlls on or 

around G r a d day--God's cruel joke on 

the Music Hack apparently. Since I now 

won't be going to the Shririe Auditorium, I'll

Whatever. Plan B: the GrammysB website 

(www.grammys.com). There's live Quickfime 

video coverage, chat rooms and the iike-of 

course, you need a co~ple"tho~isand extra 

megs of RAM to even think about using any- 

"The first GrammysB were awarded on May 

4,1959 for recordings eligible in 1958. When 

NARAS (The National Academy of 

Recording Arts and Sciences) was putting 

together the first awards show, someone suggested 

that it be called The Eddies, named . 

after Thomas Alva Edison, inventor of the 

phonograph. But this suggestion was rejected 

because people might have thought they 

were named after Eddie Fisher, thus the 

name Grammy& won out." (Huh? So who 

the hell were they named after? Phil 

Gramm?); "1993: Billy Ray Cyrus, fhm 

- Flatwoods, Kentucky, gets three nominations 

for his side 'Achy Breaky Heart' (Best New 

Artist, Record of the Year and Best Country 

Vqcal Performance). 1994; Sting, ie. Gordon

for all the kiddie tail he's gotten on those

Pedophilia . 

.Wait! There's also fresh, fly preshow 

rehearsal reviews! Joan Osborne: "Joan 

stands on stage Tuesday afternoon in a long * 

white leathercoat and jeans, fronting a four- 

.piece band--two guitars, bass and drums. She 

is confident and sings 'One of Us' in a strong 

Voice, filling the Shrine Auditorium. Osborne 

is having a great year. She's up for four 

'GrarnmysB: Best New Artist, Album of the 

Year, Song of .the of the Year and Best Female 

Rock Vocal. 'What if God was one of us? she 

sings, 'Just a slob like one of us?' Behind her, 

a video is fragmented through openings in a 

brick wall. She plays before birds, people and 

odd scenes. But Joan, thesong and her very. 

solid band are the focus, and she gets strong 

applause from the rehearsals audience. 

'Thank you very much,' she says quickly. As - . 

she leaves the stage, people in-the audience 

are humming and singing." kootie et al: 

"Five guys on stage, backlit. An acoustic guitar 

strums and then Darius Rucker steps to 

the microphone and begins singing in his 

smoky, deep, warm voice. The scene is the 

Shrine Auditorium. The occasion is a 

Grammy@ rehearsal of Hootie and the 

Blowfish, who are nominated for Best New 

Artist. Their Cracked Rear View was the 

biggest-selling album of 1995, and continues 

strong into 1996. They are playing the hit, 

'Goin' 'Home'. On the chorus Rucker sings 

'Sha-La-La-La,' a refrain that has graced 

mkny great pop songs, from Counting Crow 

to Van Morrison to the Shirelles, but on this 

sunny Los Angeles Monday morning in a 

cool dark auditorium Hootie and !he 

Blowfish own the phrase: they !re the kings 

of Sha-La-La-La. When the band finishes the 

song the auditorium is curiously quiet. No 

applause, because the audience b largely 

technicians obsessed with perfecting the telle 

vised presentation. Somewhere in the darkness

wow!"' Wow, indeed! Somebody get the

I;.. , raft with a three dollar 

cover and a live band. Ten pm 

rolls around, its standing room 

only and the place begins to pop. 

Its amazing because this place is 

so out of the way you would 

never find it or stumble upon it 

by accident. If any of you know 

anything about Ogden you'll 

know and recognize the Grey 

Moose has been around for about 

a hundred years or so. In the 

past they have played host to

Malis brothers for example. All

becomes paranoid and offers 

something they've never offered 

in the past, Wednesday nights no 

doubt, five drafts, free hot dogs 

and a live band with $5.00 cover.

of our valuable customers or do 

we just want to show them who 

the big - dogs - are in town. Who in 

the fuck was the marketing 

genius that threw in the free hot 

dogs. But 1 love it when I've 

been drinking beer then I eat a 

hot dog or two and then I go talk 

to the ladies and end up burping 

the shit up for the rest of the 

night. And I got to tell you it 

drives the women wild. In fact, 1 

like free hot dogs so much that I 

scan the paper every weekend to 

see what car lot in town is givinp 

out free hot-dogs and hell I'll 

bring .. mv . own beer. This kind of 

move goes beyond competition. 

Can you imagine if every store 

had this attitude. Sure companies 

and corporations would lovl 

to own the market by hey this is 

a free enterprise system and its 

just not a reality. And for the 

most part good competition is 

healthy. I just think having a 

choice, an option is good. I say 

forget about what the Dead Beat 

Tavern is doing and get on with 

business. Do whatever it is you 

do best. Look forward. Go bab) 

go. I think that two or th,ree or 

four or more companies can be 

successful in doing the same 

thing without the main goal 

being lets put the other guy out 

of business. Lets drag them 

under. The other night the Grey 

Moose sent n\.er their doorman 

and a couple of bar boys to chec 

out the scene at the Dead Beat 

Tavern. They poked their heads 

inside, did a quick head count 

and headed back over to the 

Grey Moose corporate offices to 

crunch some numbers. You can 

tell these boys have never ownel 

a business outside of Ogden. Dc 

you really think Spanky's 

Cinema Bar cares rvhat's happel 

ing at the Zephyr just up the 

street or vice versa. I doubt it. 

And oh, did I forget to mention 

one minor detail. The Grey 

Moose caters to a totally differei 

clientele than the Dead Beat 

Tavern. The Grey Moose is a 

harder edge. The tavern is laid 

back. Its like the Ashbury Pub ( 

Ogden yet smokier. Its got the 

love vibe floating through it. 

The Grey Moose is heavier, mor 

of a place to flex your muscle. 

Regardless of bvhat role you pla 

in life don't think nobody's 

watching because we are. And 

as the quote in the movie says 1

THE END' dl of ,%em in their their 

OF THE 

BEATLES comes, the Beatles were no 

I 

12-1 3-80 

In retrospect upon John 

Lemon's death at first glance 

there seems to be no obvious 

won for his Assassination. 

Fit we must look at John 

Lehdn the man and the pert 

I 

f~-. Lennon's whole philosophy 

can be summed up in 

two words. Peace and love. 

/ He spent his entire adult as a 

[. person and a performer as 

I possibly the major world 

, advocate of peace and love. 

This may seem like a very 

! strong statem* and perhaps 

i 

> 'it is. Then if that is the case 

; ,consider my ignorance on this 

l@trticular matter. To fully 

understand his death we 

! must think back in time. 

, 

bBack when the Beatles were 

b:together and performing. 

Then we must think about the 

kbeopie they and their music 

influenced. The shape of our 

comkry and the shape of the 

: world: The people were look- 

P,ing for something more than 

&the hypocrisy and destr'uction 

that our society offered in the 

middle of all of this of the 

war, the riots, the peace 

marches ptc.. or &e Beatles, 

own'way sayhg somethit& to 5 

eacE; of us. .&nhoii was'say-. ' 

ing peace and love. Then it 

longer. They quit. No one 

knew for sure. It was given 

to us that John and Paul 

could no longer get along. 

But what it really was they 

quit so that Lennm could be 

killed. In the great puzzle 01 

the Universe the force that 

put every piece in its place 

foresaw the possibility of his 

Assassination and with this 

inbite wisdom saw the 

destruction that would take 

place if this were to happen, 

his killing while &e Bcahs 

were still together, So the& 

must be h e for the itrfluen,ce 

of the group over the people 

to have time to wear down 

some. If Lennon would have 

been killed while performingwith 

the Beatles there would 

have been a great possibility 

for tremendous destruction t 

and violence and this was not 

Lemons way. The Beatles 

disbanded so that John 

Eennon.could fulfill his destiny 

and instead of bringing 

violence and destruction it 

will bring a world Wide 

moment of sil~t prayer and 

peace as we honor his 

memory.

SECRET 

MEETINGS ... 

GEMANY??? 

SLC-So, unless you've 

been dead recently, you've 

heard of the secret meetings, the 

gay agenda, lack of constitutional 

rights, blah blah. Well, I just 

wanted to give you a who's-who 

of who caused what problems 

and the names that we want 

voted out. Apparently, this all 

started with a 'secret meeting' 

early this year, instigated by two 

of our Senators, Charles Stewart 

and Craig Taylor. What did they 

do at this 'secret meeting' Why, 

of course; they discussed issues 

that affect all of us. 

Here are some of the issues 

concerning Utahns these days: 

1) Drive-bys. So far, we have 

had about 100 this year, a~i'd we 

haven't even made it through the 

second month yet. 2) Child 

abuse. Did you know that Utah 

has some of the highest statistics 

in the nation? One of the school 

districts estimated that well over 

50 percent of their students had 

been physically or sexually 

abused. I wont tell you the exact 

number because it will frighten 

you. But, you can look it up 

yourself. 3) Homeless. We have 

approximately 300 or more living 

on the streets in the county. 

4) Gang members. Estimations 

at 2000 or more in the Salt Lake 

area. 5) Affordable housing. 

What are the poor supposed to 

do? 6) Inner-city schools. There 

are constant complaints that 

these kids are not getting the 

things they need. 7) Roads. This 

is my personal favorite problem. 

We have potholes big enough to 

drive cars into. Missing any 

pets? Or children? Check the 

potholes. You might think by 

now that these were some of the 

issues at the 'secret meeting' Not. 

They were actually sitting 

around watching gay pornography. 

Of course they referred to it 

as a 'recruitment' video. 

Have any of you ever actually 

had one of your gay friends try 

to 'recruit' you. "Luke, come 

over to the pink side" Please. 

How ridiculous. 

The issue that concerns me, 

however, is the secret meeting 

itself. Secret meetings are illegal. 

Do you want some examples of 

times in history when secret 

meetings took place? Watergate. 

Nazi Germany. What else needs 

to be said? These people need to 

be let go, removed from office, 

voted out. 

Anyway, I urge you to write 

to these senators. Ask them to 

step down. Do everything in 

your power t? vote them out. 

Senator Craig L. Taylor 

312 Oak Lane 

Kaysville, Utah 84037 

Here's a witty quote from your 

Kaysville senator. "I have strong 

feelings about ultimately the gay 

and lesbian agenda" He told this 

to the Associated Press."They are 

promoters and have come right 

out and said we will seduce and 

sodomize your children" What? 

Senator Charles Y. Stewart 

447 West 4150 North 

Provo, Utah 84606 

Clever quotes from Charles; 

Allegedly, at the secret meeting, 

he referred to homosexuals as 

"beasts and animals" He said if 

they. conract AIDS, They should 

"go to the veterinarian" Keep in 

mind you are paying his salary. 

Anyway, enough with those 

two asses, let's move on to the 

real culprits, the school board. 

These are the people that voted 

to remove the Gay-Straight 

alliance from East High. They 

put it into policy that starting 

next fall this will not exist, nor 

will many other clubs, including 

ethnic clubs, Kiwanis clubs,youth 

clubs, human-rights groups and 

environmental clubs. Forget 

chess and skiing too. They 

impiied that these students did 

not need to have a group that 

acknowledged sexuality. Let's be 

realistic. The football team is 

obviously a 'straight' group. If 

they found out one of their teammates 

was gay in the locker 

room, what would happen? He 

would either have the shit beat 

out of him, Or ... um ... let's just say 

he would be rather busy that 

afternoon. 

The people on the school 

board are voted in. This means 

that they can be voted out. Send 

them letters to make them aware 

of that. Let them know that you 

are a.ngry that rights, such as 

Freedom of Speech have been 

greatly violated. 

Here are the four names to 

send your mail to:

The r&t of this is about the 

students. We'll start with our 

beloved governor's son, Taylor 

Leavitt. Several students at East 

tell me that he is constantly 

bashing gays, not physically, but 

verbally. In fact, I was told that 

he was telling gay jokes at one of 

the assemblies. I don't know if 

there is any truth to this, but I 

was told he was rather discouraged 

when told not to do that. 

Write to your governor and tell 

him to curb his child. And, to 

the students at East, especially 

the juniors and seniors, I urge 

you to talk to Taylor. Tell him 

that you will be 18 soon, your 

vote will matter, and his daddy 

may not have a job.

Derek Winegar was on the

like this, "fag this, fag that, fag

And, to the student holding I

Second, if you have an attitude '

To all of the above, you narrow-minded, 

conservative, 

gun-toting, God fearing fools, I 

have this to say to you. You 

i 

1 need to stick your faces back int

things about the God that you j

God does not support hatred at

violence against any groups. So, 

unless you want to hang out in 

Hell with us evil ones, shut the 

fuck up. 

I do need to add here that 

myself, SLUG and its 

management do not in any way 

~. 

support any sort of overly 

aggressive or hostile acts against 

any of these above individuals. 

we are simply telling you to usk 

your rights to let these people 

know that you are angry. DO not 

do any thing stupid. You do so 

at your own risk.

on the school board who refused 

to help this new policy pass, .

Washington-Let's put on 

happy faces kids, tell Newt 

Mr. Dole to go procreate 

with pine trees thatwish to be 

put to death anyway, eat various 

other ignorant's so as not to 

waste the flesh, and lets. not 

forget to give a meaningful 

"FUCK YOU, SHIT HEADS!!!" to 

everyone else who is deserving. 

Personally, I would like to make 

myself thesupreme ruler of all 

things but seeing as how my 

magic eight ball doesn't see it in 

the near future I will take the 

time to point out that it's a stupid 

trend to hate the President and 

' such. I wouldn't mind seeing 

him in extreme pain but I do 

1 have my own little reasons. I 

j can respect the job he has 

because it can't be the easiest one 

in this fucked up world and I 

don't see the problem with 

sending troops to Bosnia to stop 

the fighting because that is the- 

Army's job. No one got drafted, 

and as long as we have all of 

those jocks we should use them 

to stop the killing of all those 

people. Without exception the 

general point of armies plainly 

sucks. I'm telling you many 

losers to start thinking for 

yourselvesand stop the "Yes 

Mrs. Molly Mormon, yes Mr. 

Hardy Homophobic " shit. My 

personal reasons for wanting to 

see the President in pain areas 

follows: anyone who shoots 

ducks to relax should not have 

the right to breathe. Bob Dole is 

too ignorant to see that by 

censoring everything that has the 

intelligence to question the Bible, 

Book of Mormon and other such 

fictitious books, he takes the first 

step towards Nazism. Jesus was 

one hip cat but the books he stars 

in couldn't be classified as anything 

but pleasure reading fo~ 

the ignorant. 

I mean, come on, there isn't 

much of a difference between 

Lucifer and God if the devil 

makes everyone be good but 

God just kills the people who 

screw things up. want an , 

example of times God has 

cleared the house? 'Take the bible 

for example, the time it rained 

for forty days and forty nights 

and drowned everything but 

what was on a certain ark. Not to 

mention the fact that God 

seemed to be on vacation when 

all of those people where being 

slowly tortured to death in a 

specific World War 

2. Newt has the intentions to 

get this country together but he 

possesses the reasoning power of 

paste. He wants to cut money 

from the few things in our 

society that actually try and give 

this place some education and 

creativity. We should start getting 

ourselves out of debt by 

slashing the money that the army 

and such receives to do research 

on how to kill people more 

effectively and tell those 

N.A.S.A. people to put some 

time into hydrogenpower. 

Instead, that a-sexual republican 

tries to slash money from the 

school system, public arts and 

environmental groups. Always 

answer for interrupting cows 

and the safest sex is in the palm 

of your hand.

SLC- What fuck said 

you can't legislate morality? 

State senator Craig Taylor 

(Reamer-Kaysville) spent the 

entire 1936 legislative saturnalia 

Bob Roberts-ing shallow, offensive, 

anti-human bills designed 

to impress the stupid and aimless 

with their clannish (clown- 

ish) self righteousness and arrogant 

sense-of morality. Taylor 

offered up some thirty bills for 

vote (themost from any senator, 

and all of them deriving from his 

godly knowledge of right and 

wrong), ranging from adoption 

laws designed to encourage 

unwed mothers to give up their 

kids (such mothers are ill 

equipped both morally and educationally, 

after all, and certain to 

be welfare bums), to allowing 

religion (guess which one) an, 

even bigger public voice'by 

"extending" the first amendment 

of the U.S. Constitution lbut 

what could be bigger than a 

church owning a state's politicians?), 

to inanely ainbiguous 

bills reflecting Taylor's homophobia 

and bizarre need for control, 

including one that requires parents' 

signatures for high-schoolers 

to join school clubs, and 

another that prev,ents teachers 

from promoting illegal activities 

such as sodomy (as if teachers 

need to be told). On the gay 

issue he outdoes even ~harles 

("gays'are animalistic and bestial") 

Stewart (Ridiculous-Provo), 

claiming homosexuality is a sickness 

that people acquire by 

choice (like credit cards?), and 

which can also be overcome by 

choice (just cut up those credit 

cards. folks).While I'm not 

sire why some people 

desire the same sex, I really don't 

give a saturated tampon, either. 

1m much too busy with my own 

interests to worry about who 

someone else is fucking. And 

although Regressives choose to 

ignore scientific research when it 

doesn't benefit their particular 

schemes, science has determined 

sevelLal reasons why some people 

are gay, including the overriding 

fact that most gays are born that 

way, pure and simple. But there 

is a profound Irony in Retardant 

Mo thinking. Taylor's female, 

who worships him as divinely 

inspired (golly, he can write a 

piece of legislation in just fifteen 

minutes that will affect the lives 

of thousands of innocent people), 

Free' 

Issue # 2 

March 1996 

and whom Taylor does not contradict 

in this matter, has given' 

him a litter of seven little 

females--now that's moral in a 

world of six billion human creatures, 

don't you think? Most of 

humankind's problems are closely 

related to gross overpopulation: 

dwindling natural 

resources, pollution, congestion, 

deforestation, desertification, 

ozone depletion, some formqof 

mental illness and physical disease, 

and poverty, among others 

(add your own). There is also 

this: studies show that when rats 

are faced with overcrowding 

they become homosexual i~i 

droves. Splendid irony, then, 

considering these same folks 

who breed like lice and fear and 

loathe gays as a matter of religious 

policy are a major cause of 

what they hate. The moral master. 

The self-proclaimed leader in 

the struggle between good and 

evil. Corn in a stool. Taylor's 

own masters are the empty, pitiful 

shells of the Beagle Forum, as 

exemplified by his vote which 

killed a bill designed to provide 

basic nutritional and medical services 

for destitute children in 

Odgen. At first he voted for the 

bill. but instantly flip-flipped 

when the Beagle's orders were 

delivered to his desk from on 

high. Moral guy, '01 Craigboy, 

and sure to be a success in Utah 

politics for years and years and 

years to come. If you allow it. 

-Rhoda Sheperd 

KLS Editorial- Sure, this gay 

discrimination thing is wrong. 

Yes these Senators are so homophobic 

they blame global warming 

on the Aids quilt. But some 

responsibility needs to fall on the 

students who pushed for the 

club in the first place. Look at the 

other side. After Gay clubs, 

where do they draw the line? 

NAMBLA? Aryan Nation? 

Gangstas Against Learning? 

School should be about education,

opinion ...

adio to find it sandwiched 

between 7 Mary 3, the Deftones 

and Spacehog. Is this the band to 

break Tim Kerr out of record 

label obscurity? Probably not 

because the label can't afford to 

pay college kids to request songs. 

Start calling your favorite "alternative" 

station and request 

Flapsdown. 

Kill Culture - "The 

Hate0/"Bad Cop No Donut" - 

Inertia Records. Coming to us 

straight from Los Angeles is the 

future of punk rock. Just read the 

press release. "The Hate" is 

becoming a punk rock staple on 

campuses across the country. The 

style is hardcore. The topic is the 

usual. The players include Louie 

Katorz and Barry Beri of 

Mephisto Waltz. The chorus is 

"everyone's the enemy." The flipside 

is my favorite of the two. 

The chorus to this one is "bad 

cop no donut." If only it were 

true. Back to "The Hate." The 

press release is true. The sohg is 

a hardcore anthem just begging 

for a sing-a-long in the pit. There 

should be a full-length out from 

Kill Culture soon. XAer that 

watch for them to appear in the 

nearest all-ages venue. If the 

album is as good as the single 

Kill Culture will "rise above." 

Smart Brown Handbag 

- "Sabrina," "Miles 

Away"/"New Friend", Cocaine 

& Cigarettes" - Stone Garden 

Records. A more realistic candidate 

for stardom is Smart Brown 

Handbag. Reviews are included 

on the cardboard jacket. "...One 

of the freshest, most natural and 

relaxed exercises in pure pop I've 

heard in years," says Magnet. 

The blurb doesn't tell the complete 

story. The pure pop is as 

dreary as a gray day. Smart . 

Brown Handbag sounds more 

like teary eyed @oys from an 

English manor than a group from 

sunny Southern California. The 

record is pretty enough, far too 

pretty for my ears. I'll pass. 

Pansy Division - 

"Valentine's Dayf'/"He Could Be 

The One", "Pretty Boy (What's 

Your Name" - Lookout Records. 

This record should have been in 

last month's issue. The A-side 

describes in sarcastic fashion 

another Valentine's Day spent 

alone - that means no boy to 

play with. Also included is a skit 

on the subject of homosexuality 

that the Utah State Legislature 

and the local Eagle Forum needs 

to listen to. A mother wants to 

know why her son can't change 

his heterosexual lifestyle and - 

become homosexual. On the flip 

are two covers. Josie Cotton and 

Depeche "Fucking" Mode get the 

Pansy treatment.-"All the boys 

together in one bed/Circle jerk, 

circle jerk." 

Slap Of Reality - "14 

Durrell"/"Drowned Out," 

"Anywhere,"- Skene! Slap Of 

Reality sounds too much like a 

local Utah band to catch my 

t 

aitention. Quick tempoed, fucked 

up rhythms, a singer with a 

growl and a howl - college rock 

like they play on the radio. 

Everready - "Walk"/"Punk Is , 

For Sale" - Skene! Everready are' I 

more like it. Two punk rock I 

anthems on one single! Wow! 

The bass break holding "Punk Is, 

For Sale" together is downright i 

ska-like. They'll be skanking in i 

the pit. Lifter Puller "Slips 

Backwards"/"Nassau Coliseum1 

- Skene! Rounding out the I 

Skene! team are Lifter Puller. 1 

Their style is indie rock. "~assa 

Coliseum" is not mv favorite r 

song of the month. It drones on 

for far too long. The A-side, I 

"Slips Backwardsf' is preferable / 

dui to its velocity. 

-Riley Puckett

Stan Ridgeway 

Black ~iamond 

Birdcage Records 

Attention, attention. 

Will someone please alert the 

media that Stan Ridgeway 

has recorded another fine 

record. The only reason I say 

this is that Stan Ridgeway 

hasn't recorded a fine record 

in quite sometime. This one 

however is probably one of 

his better ones. According to 

Ridgeway he says "this is a 

record where I deliberately 

force the songs to stand on 

their own. The music is as 

simple and unadorned as we 

could make it. The musicians 

and I tried to let the songs 

flow out of our heads and 

onto the tape without a lot of 

fussiness and second guessing 

in between. My true 

interest has always been in 

the surreal the dream states 

we encounter when we're 

asleep or wide awake with 

caffeine buzzing in our heads 

and in fact I wrote most of 

this music from dreams I'd 

had. I've really moved 

myself into fresh territory 

with these songs I think. He 

couldn't be more correct in 

that statement. Big dumb 

town, pink parakeet, knife 

and fork, crystal palace all 

fantastic tunes. He also covers 

'As I went out one morning ' 

which is a Bob Dylan song off 

the John Wesley Harding 

record. Its a great song. He 

the song on this record. All 

the songs are thinky, well produced 

through eye kind of 

songs. They make you listen 

to the record more than just 

background music. This 

record is obviously different 

from anything St@ Ridgway 

has ever done. Its leaner, 

more intimate and kind of old 

fashioned. And I think its 

probably where Stan 

Ridgeway's true heart as a 

songwriter lies. Because you 

can really tell that the songs 

are written for aq exacting 

point and he hits that point 

right on the head and that's it 

he does a great job. This is an 

outstanding record you 

should by it.

God what a cool

guitar and vocals and there's 

12 songs on the record and 

they're all really fucking good 

songs. All a little different 

than the other. They're hard 

edged, good guitar playing 

and some of it goes in and 

out of drug induced kind of 

funky guitar playing to a 

hard wall of sound three

-Mr. Pink . 

Lou Reed 

Set the Twilight Reeling 

Warner Brothers 

It is pretty obvious 

that Lou Reed does not care 

about record company sales. 

Lou Reed cares about writing 

songs that mean something to 

him or writing songs about 

things that have pissed him 

off and rockin out in Lou 

Reed's way. So goes Set the 

Twilight Reeling which is p 

album full of good,songs that 

are written about everything 

from egg cream to sex with 

your parents which is probably 

one of the more stronger 

political songs Lou ~ eed has 

ever written. "I was thinking 

of things that I hate to do, 

things you do to me or I do to 

you. Something fatter and 

uglier than Rush Rambo more 

disgusting than Robert Dole 

and there it was sex with 

your parents. In the name of 

fakily values we must ask 

whose family? Senator its 

been reported that you had 

illegal congress with your 

mother. Senator you polish a 

turd he? in the big city we 

got a word for those who 

would bet their beloved big 

bird without even using a 

condom" So its pretty obvious 

that Lou Reed is still + 

pissed off about some things. 

Namely, Republicans and 

4, 

you blame him? He doesn't 

even step foot in the realm o 

Pat Buchanan and the 

Christian coalition but he h 

in the past. Anyway so for . 

Lou Reed fans this is an 

album you definitely need to 

own because it's Lou 

For those of you who want 

New York part 2 this is not i 

This is Lou Reed a new diffe 

en't side of Lou Reed.that we 

haven't heard before really. 

The other side equally 

tant as his previous all?ums. 

Best songs here besides Sex 

with your Parents, are Trade 

In, The Proposition and Set 

the Twilight Reeling.

The Customers 

Green Bottle Thursday 

Vapor Records 

Vapor Records is Ne 

Young's "independet" label. 

Even though Neil Young is 

richer than anybody I know. 

The customers are a four 

piece rock band from 

Minneapolis with hair. ' 

Sound familiar? I don't kno 

about the hair but the explanation 

sound and so does the 

band like the Replacements. 

But I guess if your going to 

have to sound like somebody 

that's not too bad of a way to 

go. I should say influenced 

by the Replacements. The 

band is rally good and the 

songs are feeling and full of 

emotion. They have a good 

live feel to it. The records no 

too overproduced which I 

like. Mostly the lead vocals , 

and guitar are by Ryan

! think he's got a voice of his 

own without sounding too 

much like Westerberg. 

Definitely a record to check 

: out. Could possibly be a 

great band coming soon to a 

theater near you. 

-Mr. Pink

Geffen Records 

The fact that the 

boy Junkies now have six MK Ultra . 

rds out and have been 

und for over ten years just 

s me feel old. However, 

owboy Junkies first 

cord made me think wow, 

s is a cool record nobody 

ows about it but me. And 

ow their new record highly 

anticipated everywhere is 

released on Geffen Records. 

Oh, well, life goes on. The 

band however is probably 

better than they've ever been. 

This time as in ekery other 

Cowboy Junkies record someone 

steps to the front stage. 

This time it is Michael 

Timmons on guitar. Showing 

that he is more than just a 

silky smooth guitar player 

but he compliments Margo's 

voice incredibly well and 

shows that he's got something 

under neath his skin. 

The songs are classic junkies, 

Common Disaster, Just want 

to See, Angel Mind and

Original Motion Picture

Artichoke Records 

Not so much a band, 

but three poets and a drummer. 

All the songs on this 

record are better poems than 

they are songs, but with some 

riifty little melodies and some 

good guitar lines, the band 

turns these poems into 

singable songs. They do stay 

on the story telling side of 

things tho~gh, which I like. 

There's some gems like True 

Crime, Billy Dale 

Hunts/Salesmen and a song 

called Out With the Stars, 

which has the incredibly cool 

quotable line, "Hello Lilac do 

you remember me? I was you 

hummingbird and I crossed 

your swollen sea. When you 

get that swallow out of your 

mouth give me a call." Like I 

said its a four piece band, 

three guitars and a drummer: 

Mostly acoustic and singing. 

forget alternative country and Some hard guitar and good 

this new wave of bands that , melodies but not that hard. 

are trying to sound like the Cool record. Definitely a . 

Cowboy Junkies. This is the 

real thing and it cannot be 

replaced or duplicated. As

;r8i;$.$. .+.;-, -- gj

exa as drifter turned California serial killer,Richard Ramirez 

has been ondeath row for seven years, during which little has been 

heard from him. Unlike other serial killers, Ramirez' fame has not 

'endured like Gacey's, Bundy's or Dalhmer's. It might be that Ramirez 

ad no class or style. 

He follqwed a girlfriend to California at'the tender age of 22, 

but was soon alone again. A loner by habit, Ramirez kept his 

anbnymity ky being a homeless petty criminal. Subsisting on a diet of 

injectable drugs and junk food, the natural fire of human violence 

flared into an unnatural Etna of murderous rage. While destroying 

her people with haphazard, vicious barbarity, his own body was rotng 

from self neglect. It wasn't long after he came to Los Angeles that 

1s teeth bad all rotted and fallen from his pussy, halototic mouth. . 

His style of killing was something akin to a murderer's 

Christmas morning. He would break into a house, and assault, sometimes 

rape, avd kill everyone he found. Surprise, today we're kilIing a 

42 year old mother of three, and two of the three. Many serial mur- 

derers have a reason for thier attrocities; Bundp killed his first girlfriend 

time and time again; Dahmer couldnit stand for h ~s sexual parthers 

ta leave him; ,Albert Fish believed that God rewarded him with 

sexval pleaswewhen he would prevent little girls from growjng into 

sins of the flesh--hedid this very often by eating the aforementioned 

. flesh.. 

Rantifez was accused and convicted of killing nine women 

and four men raning in age from 30 to 83 years old. HisBrst victim, 

79 year-old Jennie Viww diestin such a storm of physical agression 

that her head might was said to have been neai her body, to the right 

a bit, a good bit, rather than the more usual: centered on top of the 

shoulders. 

Xamirez' arrest was the first sucess of a computerized fingerprint 

registry in Sacramento.-Three minutes after the program had ' 

beguh working it spat out his name from a print left at one of the 

murders. Two days later he was arrested in a hispanic neighborhood' 

in Los Angeles. 

Ramirez' trial took four years of stupid hysterionics that . 

included many allusions to the rock @oup AC/DC and pretensions of 

Satan worship. The truth is that the young Texan hadn't planned his 

bio carefully enough. He spent the four years of his trial playing 

catch-up with the infamy which he felt he earned through the blood of 

SD many twisted corpses. From animal fits of rage, to cooler than thou 

moments of sartorial grace, to grandstanding attempts to portray his 

murderous mediocrity 3s an extension of so-called satanic worship, 

Ramjrez time and time again tried to fictional~ze and edit a life wori 

of'someone as outrageously mean as himself. Though he never 

escaped the dog's-vomit of mediocrity that was his actual life. 

Ramirez was bund to be simply an anti-social personality 

addicted to physical violence, or so the court that condemned him t~ 

death found. '

Remy Zero 

Geffen 

Very cool band ,with nine very cool 

songs. Unfortunately the first track 

shouldn't be on the record. This 

band should stay away from what 

they think is dissonance. Because 

its not dissonance. Playing something 

out of tune doesn't mean that 

it's dissonant. The other nine 

songs on the record are great 

songs. Probably the best of which 

is called Dissent. (irony) Another 

good song is called Gold Star 

Speaker. Remy Zero is the best of 

the lazy-alternative popsters if 

there is such a thing. The best 

thing about them is they don't really 

remind you of anybody they just 

make you think that they mght 

remind you of someone. From 

readingthebio might think 

the band is full of peace love and 

pseudo hippies. But I don't really 

care what the bio says about the 

band. I might think their idiots but 

the record is great. Its very layered. 

Its very soothing at times. 

Its very energetic at times. But like 

I said, the best'thing about it is that 

it reminds you of nothing too 

strongly bit reminds you of everything 

subtly.

Kerr Records 

My buddy Bill Belcourt 

hipped me to the Wipers five or six 

years ago. So it is that reason and 

that reason only, that I still consider 

him a friend of mine. Because he 

sure as hell doesn't call me anymore 

and I've called him at least 

three times which is generally my 

rule. I call you three times, you 

don't call me'back, your finished. 

So now I'm going to make an offer 

to my buddy Bill that will surpass 

all of my previous offers. Call me 

and receive the new Wipers record 

absolutely free of charge. Why? A 

couple of reasons; 1. It is so damn 

good. I can barely stand it. 2. Tim 

Kerr Records fucked up and sent 

me two of them. Since no one else 

in this town knows who Greg Sage 

is then its safe to assume I won't be 

able to sell the other one. Besides it 

should go to someone who really 

likes the Wipers and that would be , 

Bill. Best songs hew are hard to 

say because they're all pretty 

strong. Sinking as a Stone, The 

' Herd, Defiant, this is a great record 

to %sten to if you just Want to rage 

for about an hour, or clean your 

house or climb a rock or go oh a 

huge long bike ride. If you're not 

familiar with the Wipers then you 

don't know what I'm talking 

about. If you aresthen you're in the 

hip zone. Definitely check it out, 

definitely listen to it find out for 

yourself. Oh yeah Bill, call me.

100 MonaLisas 

New Disease 

RCA 

You remember 100 

Mona Lisas they released a five 

song EP a while ago with an outstanding 

cover of Alanis 

Morrissete's You Ought to Know. 

Which was so much better than the 

original its hard to believe it was a 

cover. Anyway, the difference 

between this band and the Foo 

Fighters is that this band can actually 

sing and play'and write really 

good catchy songs, all the while 

still being hard edged power pop. 

The other difference is of course 

that 100 Mona Lisas alp not liv%g 

off the notoriety, fame and fortune 

of dead rock stars. Just listen to the 

song New Disease or Girl FrieKdly 

or In the Red and tell me this isn't 

a better band. In'other words the 

cute girl just got to the dance and 

you're still dancing with her 

mouthy loud zit faced mornmate.

Turkey Mallet 

Chiaroscuro 

Immune Records 

If you ask me, ska is 

meant for one thing: dance, dance, 

unka unka unka. I wouldn't nor- ' 

mally buy a whole hell of a lot of it 

to listen to at home. but on the 

other hand I busted my knee to 

Skankin Pickle at Barn' Grill one 

year, that's what a g d time I 

have listenin to it when it's done 

nght. Turkey Mallet set off trying, 

but they just don't follow through. 

They lack in a strong horn section, 

and they too often don't even get it 

up, unka unka wise. They meander, 

and unlike garage band music, 

I think ska's got to at least be tight. 

A couple songs even sound like 

Violent Femrnes go Ska, which is 

not a healthy combo. It's also a relatively 

constricting medium in 

which to work, and therefore to 

distinguish yourself you'i-e going 

to have to have something extra 

special. Turkey Mallet don't got it. 

-

The bands that do 

it. "Pickle Brown Betty" is one of 

those; presumably why they made 

the first cut on the disc. "Tom 

Cob and the Cocktail Shakers" 

are not only proficiently danceworthy 

but also pretty fucking funny 

with "Cereal Box". "Jil Thorpe and 

"Urbations". The aforementioned 

slow reggaeska sound, however, 

cornes into play simply too many 

times. It's just not intersting. You 

can't dance to it, so what's the 

point? The scales of justice point 

towards the toikt. ,

Needless to say, if you've yet to 

hear the Archep, you'd be served 

well by getting one'of their pmper 

records first, but if you're ariitlung 

of a'fan (and if you've red this far 

I'm guessing you probably are), 

than this is a welcome addition to 

the band's already stellar catalog.

notice sometlung familiar when 

this four song EP plays. Elysian 

Fields' (a term for paradise) vocalist, 

Jennifer Charles is coming from 

the dgrkside (as in Star Warsf or 

maybe she just loves melancholy 

lomge acts. Accompanied by dmf 

guitar' effects apd stand up bass, 

the,songs roll about with a dead 

weight, leaving you with a hangover 

of the strangest kind. Whether 

its "Star," steadfast rhythm and 

simplistic piano or the acoustic 

"Move Me" with its western-edged 

electric guitar lick, be prepared to 

enter a realm of sultry mystification 

with a ghostly twist. If you 

fancy this troupe, enlighten yo&-
