1] Introduction
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Welcome to fingal's cave. This is the first issue so here's what
|
|
to expect: I don't know. That depends on what you cyber-loonies
|
|
send me to put in this thing. Myself and my friends only have so
|
|
many (interesting) things we can put in here. This first issue is
|
|
totally consisting of things from myself and my friends. Please
|
|
contribute for the next issue. We only have three guidelines:
|
|
|
|
1) You wrote what you are submitting. Don't rip someone else off.
|
|
|
|
2) It is under 5K or so.
|
|
|
|
3) It is interesting (at least to some people)
|
|
|
|
If you meet all these three, you may get into this thing. We're
|
|
looking for: stories, jokes, poems, editorials, record reviews,
|
|
gripes, and things we haven't even thought to include. Our goal
|
|
is to produce a zine that anyone can at least find one or two
|
|
things inside of interest.
|
|
|
|
I'm going to release this piece of electronic nonsense every
|
|
month at or around the 15th onto alt.zines. I'm operating from a
|
|
PC, so I don't have a FTP site. If someone would like to store it
|
|
somewhere, go for it man.

2] Bless me father by: Tommy Details
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
(This is a poem about a friend of mine)
|
|
|
|
Bless Me Father
|
|
|
|
Bless me Father for I have told
|
|
You can read it in my deposition
|
|
People in your flock believe me now
|
|
Your congregation is slipping away
|
|
|
|
Bless me Father for I was sinned
|
|
My pain is deep and eternal
|
|
I was taught you could be trusted
|
|
But god's soldier is a devil
|
|
|
|
Forgive me father, for you're in trouble
|
|
The courts have your pious ass now
|
|
You said if I told I'd go to hell
|
|
If I do, I'll meet you there
|
|

3] This Just In by: Fingal
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This just in, the situation in the west has changed dramatically
|
|
in the last 24 hours. What started out as a county fair in
|
|
southern Oregon has erupted into civil war between Californians
|
|
and Pacific Northwesterners. California is claiming it has taken
|
|
the southern half of Oregon in retaliation for last night's raids
|
|
on Beverly Hills. The state of Delaware has joined California and
|
|
Arizona and declared themselves a nation called "California-
|
|
Arizona-Delaware". Meanwhile, Washington, Oregon, and now Idaho
|
|
have declared themselves a nation, calling themselves
|
|
"Washington, Oregon and now Idaho". The state of Nevada remains
|
|
neutral so they can take bets on the wars. Texas has declared
|
|
itself a nation also, because they always wanted to, and now
|
|
seemed like a good time. New Mexico doesn't care. The East is
|
|
relatively calm, but a possible conflict between Chicagoans and
|
|
Milwaukeeans seems eminent. The President is urging people to
|
|
stay at home to watch sitcoms and not join the conflicts. We'll
|
|
be right back after a word from Kelloggs.

4] Record Reviews by: Fingal
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Here's my top five albums of 1993. I got to see four of the bands
|
|
this year, which may or may not effect my choices.
|
|
|
|
1) Siamese Dream, Smashing Pumpkins.
|
|
It's not because I'm from Chicago. I didn't put Liz Phair in my
|
|
top ten and Urge Overkill I didn't get into at all. Although I
|
|
did like Styx a long time ago. The music is loud and soft, and
|
|
the lyrics speak for any kid who was unpopular (doesn't everyone
|
|
claim they were a misfit today?) The music is fresh. The
|
|
Pumpkins have built onto their previous album Gish with more
|
|
production and clearer lyrics. If I had a vinyl copy, it would
|
|
have to be replaced by now.
|
|
|
|
2) Become What You Are, Julianna Hatfield Three.
|
|
Julianna, formerly of the Blake Babies, is perhaps the most
|
|
underrated female song writer today. Her songs are never simple
|
|
pop songs, but tackle many subjects such as fear of death,
|
|
supermodels, striking back at criminals, stardom, addiction, and
|
|
the homeless. She gives a great concert and has a great attitude
|
|
about music. She's going to be big.
|
|
|
|
3) In Utero, Nirvana
|
|
Nirvana has grown in this next album. Even without a "Teen
|
|
Spirit", the songs show more diversity, in some cases by adding a
|
|
cello. There is tenderness, but their is also killer guitars,
|
|
feedback, and screaming. The lyrics speak more intelligently,
|
|
from the perspective of fame. I like this album tons better than
|
|
Pearl Jams' Vs.
|
|
|
|
4) self-titled Rage Against The Machine
|
|
I bought this CD strictly on a recommendation from Perry Farrel
|
|
of Lollopoluza (if he even decides that sort of thing). This is
|
|
an album with angry sounds, angry lyrics, and great combining of
|
|
the two. It's kind of Red Hot Chili Peppers meets Rollins, which
|
|
is why I like it so much. They give a no-nonsense live show
|
|
filled with emotion.
|
|
|
|
5) self-titled The Muffs
|
|
Who? This is a quartet of two women and two men. The women were
|
|
from The Pandoras. A friend was in the mood for a loud show at a
|
|
small club, and the Muffs were in town. They killed the
|
|
headliners (The Digits) with short pop/punk songs. The CD I
|
|
bought the next day proved the Muffs have what it takes to
|
|
deliver loud, fast, but melodic songs to a crowd.
|
|
|
|
Other of my favorites:
|
|
Undertow, Tool
|
|
Fontanello, Babes in Toyland
|
|
Debut, Bjork
|
|
Everyone Else is doing it, why can't we?, Cranberries
|
|
Vs, Pearl Jam
|
|
Exile in Guyville, Liz Phair

That's it. I know it's short, but if enough people write in with
|
|
submissions, it will grow! Please send us your weird, funny,
|
|
interesting bytes to: fingal@well.sf.ca.us
