- Jonestown After Dark III - GUT BLOWOUT at the first ROC of AGEs con in
|
|
Charlotte, NC!! Mondo video, killer DJ, lights, Jonestown Jungle Juice,
|
|
lap dancers, and THE MACHINE!!!! Check this zine for upcoming dates for
|
|
ROC and other worthy conventions. [ROC has been added to the HToMC's
|
|
"regular" must-attend yearly events, taking the place once held by MOC
|
|
as the hard-core party con. And congrats to the Jonestown crew who always
|
|
throw the best (and wildest) parties.
|
|
|
|
- Just a brief note to let you know that The Hour of Slack is now
|
|
being heard on WMSE - 91.7 FM in Milwaukee, WI.
|
|
|
|
"The Sunrise Hour of Slack" can be heard every Thursday morning
|
|
from 5 to 6 AM.
|
|
|
|
- Tapes listed in previous editions of HToMC
|
|
from I Need Medical Attention Records & Tapes
|
|
are available for $5.00 each plus shiping
|
|
|
|
- While applying for a job with a Federal Agency, a applicant came accross
|
|
the question, "Do you favor the overthrow of the government by violence,
|
|
coup, or subversion?" The applicant, perhaps a little ignorant of the
|
|
world, penciled "subversion".
|
|
|
|
- New Music - *The Big Bang Payoff*, by Indian Rope Burn - Although its
|
|
somewhat hard to classify this album, like their others, is somewhat
|
|
"industrial", part NIN, part techno, part everything else mixed together,
|
|
hard-driving with tons of effects, B-movies, and assorted bulldada thrown
|
|
in the mix. A bit harder - and more complicated than the previous *Sex
|
|
Party*, the songs are a blend of strange and often dark humor, conspiraces,
|
|
and an extremely slanted (but appropriate) way of looking at the world.
|
|
Great stuff, plus they are an Official(tm) Doktorband. Contact them at

- An MIT student spent his summer going to the football field dressed in a
|
|
black and white shirt. Each afternoon, he would arrive and sprinkle some
|
|
bird seed all over the field. Then he would blow a whistle and would
|
|
watch as the birds ate the seed. At the first football game, the referee
|
|
came out, blew his whistle and the birds engulfed the field. It took more
|
|
than 15 minutes to clear it. The student wrote his thesis on this
|
|
phenomena and graduated.

San Rafael, Ca. - A man who legally changed his name to Ubiquitous
|
|
Perpetuity God began serving a nine-month sentence for indecent exposure
|
|
Wednesday.
|
|
|
|
God, 68, has been arrested 18 times for similar offenses since 1978.
|
|
|
|
His latest arrest came Oct. 26, when he exposed himslef to a woman
|
|
waiting in line at a coffee shop. He said he did it so that women "could
|
|
have some type of awareness of God." according to police reports.
|
|
|
|
Marin Superior Court Judge Lynn O'Malley Taylor addressed the defendant
|
|
as "Mr. God" at a hearing Tuesday, and sentenced him to nine months in
|
|
Marin County Jail.
|
|
|
|
God was born Enrique Silberg in Cuba.

&^&^&^&^& Klinton's Favorite Komics &^&^&^&^&
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** A-bomb #9 - More XXX-rated manga stories, this issue including "Tavern
|
|
Tales" with a sexy valley elf, magical books, summoning a furry famale
|
|
familiar, and a perverted plant on an alien planet. Enough strangeness or
|
|
story twists to make it stand out. Venus Comics
|
|
|
|
*** Beavis & Butthead #26 - The boys decide to go to school, but accidentally
|
|
get on the bus to a private school - with no chicks! When their antics land
|
|
them in trouble, they are sent to the dominatrix- with full dungeon & s/m
|
|
supplies. They escape - in schoolgirl dresses meant to humiliate them, and
|
|
manage to get on the bus to a *girl's* private school. Actually a good,
|
|
consistent story for a change. Marvel Comics.
|
|
|
|
*** Brinke of Destruction - 1 of 3 - After mankind is given a death sentence
|
|
for causing too much pollution (hey- it it was so bad, wouldn't the pollution
|
|
be *enough* to do the job??), an Armageddon machine is activated which starts
|
|
causing global chaos and destruction. Brinke, half-sister of the evil Arcana
|
|
who set the machine in motion, is opposed to this and travels to the earth's
|
|
core to stop the machine, in order to give mankind a second chance. Nice
|
|
cover by Boris Vallejo. High-Top and Brinke Stevens
|
|
|
|
*** Brinke of Destruction - 2 of 3 - As the world is engulfed in chaos,
|
|
Brinke travels to Stonehenge to find an ancient artifact to stop the
|
|
Armageddon Matrix. In order to get it, though, she undergo a spiritual
|
|
quest in order to confront and overcome all her fears and problems. The
|
|
dialog gets a little stilted here, with just too many "revelations" a bit
|
|
too quickly to be credible, but there's also some decent female-superhero-in-
|
|
too-tight-outfit action. She also gets a change of costume, from that little
|
|
green outfit that she wears to all the conventions. High-Top and Brinke Stevens
|
|
|
|
*** Buck Godot #6 - The station's robot attack is stopped, but still nobody-
|
|
even the Prime Mover-, know what the old machinery is for. In the meantime,
|
|
Buck is visited by an unknown race, long since banned and suspected destroyed,
|
|
who will take possession of the Winslow, in exchange for a cure from the virus
|
|
ravaging the humans. It is discovered, however, that the Klegdixal are
|
|
responsible for the virus- which means possible death for the embassy and
|
|
permanent banishment for them all. Fun, complicated story. Palliard Press
|
|
|
|
***** Dawn #2 - Darrien awakens on the far shore to see a demon defeat an
|
|
angel in battle, and take his halo. In the second part, Dawn visits
|
|
Ahura Mazda outside the gates of Heaven; he asks her to visit Hell and
|
|
bring back Lucifer's halo- a parting gift that is a bridge between heaven
|
|
and hell. She gets it, and returns to NYC. Every panel is a full-color
|
|
masterpiece from Joseph Michael Linsner. Sirius.
|
|
|
|
***** Dawn #3 - Darrien meets Dawn on the streets of NYC, and after a brief
|
|
exchange, she gives him a halo- the one she took from Lucifer. When she
|
|
disappears, both angels and demons appear, wanting the halo, and Darrien
|
|
fights them- and kills them. And, by possessing the halo, Darrien moves
|
|
even deeper into strange, bigger metaphysical realm. Great artwork. Sirius
|
|
|
|
**** Eightball #16 - More angst-narratives, including "Like a Weed, Joe",
|
|
Squirrel Girl and Candy-Pants, plus another installment of Ghost World.
|
|
Much more personally-involved, and surreal than any of the other comics
|
|
centered around following characters through mundane on the outside, but
|
|
psychologically intense adventures. See if you can spot the hidden
|
|
Darwin Fish. Fantagraphics.
|
|
|
|
**** Hate #20 - Buddy gets stuck looking after his niece and nephew all day,
|
|
and nearly goes apeshit from the abusive brats. These kids are the perfect
|
|
archetypes of all the uncontrolled monsters who make pure asses of themselves
|
|
in public every day- the ones who desperately need to be strangled. I wish
|
|
I had Buddy's patience. Plus, his dad finds the "perfect" barber shop.
|
|
Fantagraphics Books
|
|
|
|
*** Hate #21 - Buddy's mother, sister, and his girlfriend Lisa all unleash
|
|
such a wave of bitchiness and bossiness, that a minor war between the sexes
|
|
breaks out in the Bradley family. After taking a boy's night out with his
|
|
dad, they get in big trouble when the alcohol has a reaction with his heart
|
|
medicine. When the dust and the arguments settle back down, the women are
|
|
back in charge, as usual. Fantagraphics.
|
|
|
|
*** Meat Cake #0 - reissued - The first set of Meatcake stories, all with
|
|
those wild, innocent-looking pictures that completely conflict with the
|
|
often psycho stories. Just like little kids, even though they may look
|
|
totally cute and innocent, they're actually wild demons in disguise.
|
|
Lots of fun- I hadn't seen this first issue from 1991. Fantagraphics.
|
|
|
|
**** Meat Cake #5 - Lots more strange, quirky, gothic tales- some with points,
|
|
often brutal and cruel, others just plain whimsical and silly, with many of
|
|
the same odd assortment of characters. Plus, the uniquely distinctive artwork
|
|
and doodles. Always lots of strange fun. Fantagraphics.
|
|
|
|
**** Naughty Bits #18 - The war between the sexes starts to heat up as
|
|
Kenney, the nerdy guy that Midge screwed while on her wild vacation, keeps
|
|
trying to call her, and finally shows up at her door. It couldn't be at a
|
|
worse time, as Midge has been obsessed with stalkers/murderers/abusers in
|
|
the media all week, which has made her a paranoid wreck, on top of her desire
|
|
*not* to see Kenney. And, she lets him have it. Good story, a lot of which
|
|
is very true, but lacks a critical bit of perspective (51% of all domestic
|
|
violence cases are committed by *women*...) and strays a bit too far into the
|
|
PC feminist camp that stereotypes men as violent abusers. Fantagraphics.
|
|
|
|
***** Stalking Ralph - The Post Brothers take a contract to kill The Residents,
|
|
the wild alternative band from San Francisco. It turns out to be tough, as
|
|
the Residents are actually infinite-dimensional beings. After they explain
|
|
this to Ron and Russ, they decide to fake the murders- substituting the family
|
|
of the old man who hired them, and taking their payment of the immediate
|
|
retirement of every artist and entertainer in the world- but even this turns
|
|
out to be a gambit by the Residents, who need to clear out the world's
|
|
cultural drek so their new machine will work. Ron gets his revenge... Aeon.
|
|
|
|
***** Sunglasses After Dark - the comic adaptation of the book by Nancy
|
|
Collins. A young girl turned violent vampire is locked up in an insane
|
|
asylum, and manages to escape when one of the guards attempts to sexually
|
|
abuse her. Great story and artwork, in color. Verotik. Nancy Collins also
|
|
appeals for donations to help yet *another* comic store being censored by
|
|
the "morality" squad- this time, its Planet Comics in Oklahoma. For info
|
|
on this, contact Verotik Publishing, Attn. Planet Comics, Box 64859,
|
|
Los Angeles, CA 90064
|
|
|
|
**** The System - #1 - by Peter Kuper - Roving story, "Slacker"-style, of
|
|
interlocked stories of a subway stalker, racist violence, police corruption,
|
|
high-powered finance, political intrigue, terrorism, slime, and all the
|
|
big and little things that make up life in the big city. Moves from one
|
|
set of experiences/problems or "systems" to another, telling a story
|
|
completely in pictures. DC Comics/Vertigo Verite
|
|
|
|
**** Tank Girl: Apocalypse #1 - As end-time cults go nuts and mystics of all
|
|
sorts invade the land, Tank Girl is strangely unmotivated to do anything,
|
|
and feels like shit. The reason: she's pregnant! Is it Booga's? Will it
|
|
be one of the end-time Messiahs? Plus, check out the ad for the Tank Girl
|
|
blow-up fuck doll on the first page. DC/Vertigo
|
|
|
|
**** Tank Girl: Apocalypse #2 - Booga throws a huge drunken party to celebrate
|
|
the new child, and all manner of monks and cultists show up. Tank Girl slips
|
|
away, only to be kidnapped by the Baal cult, who take her to a secret gov't
|
|
lab and hook her up to a machine which speeds up the pregnancy just so they
|
|
can sacrifice the child. Meanwhile, the countries of the world erupt in
|
|
wars... DC/Vertigo
|
|
|
|
**** Tank Girl: Apocalypse #3 - The action picks up as Tank Girl's friends
|
|
bust into the lab and rescue her. On the way out, they meet and abuse
|
|
Princess Di, who tells them of a secret hideaway that all the world leaders
|
|
will use to wait out the terrible wars and destructions. Once there, they
|
|
blow away the NWO guards and find a spaceship. It takes them to a secret
|
|
base on Mars, where they learn that all of the world's leaders are part of
|
|
the Baal cult..and are sacrificing all 8 billion people on earth. DC/Vertigo
|
|
|
|
***** Tank Girl: Apocalypse #4 - Tank Girl and her friends quickly take over
|
|
the secret Mars colony, then throw an End of the World party as they helplessly
|
|
watch the Earth die in nuclear explosions and meteors. During the party, she
|
|
goes into labor, but the baby isn't Booga's...she had been fooling around with
|
|
her tank, and the baby is 1/2 tank. The next story is going to have one
|
|
helluva time making any kind of continuity with this one... DC/Vertigo
|
|
|
|
**** Vamperotica #7 - Some of the best, original vampire stories to come
|
|
along in quite a while. Not the same old gothic-slasher-angst plots, but
|
|
new ideas in an expanding storyline. Plus, they will soon come out with
|
|
stories including their cover-girl, Luxura, much like the Dawn comics.
|
|
Nice twists to stories, its not *just* blood and sex. Brainstorm Comics
|
|
|
|
*** Vamperotica #8 - Only one vampire story in this issue, but its an
|
|
interesting one in which Lillith, the "first Eve" ignored in so many
|
|
biblical accounts, is actually the first vampire, as well as the serpent.
|
|
Other stories include a gun-sorta-ninja assassin who get tangled up in
|
|
government skullduggery. Plus a neat vouyeurism story. Brainstorm Comics.
|
|
|
|
**** Vamperotica #9 - The war between the vampire Kith and the werewolves
|
|
continues as a vampire is captured and kept in a cage in a nightclub, slowly
|
|
being starved to death, but is rescued by one of the Red Militia. Also, a
|
|
great story about a sexy vampire "evangelist", and the continuation of the
|
|
GunFighter story. Original stories and great action. Brainstorm Comics.
|
|
|
|
*** Vamperotica #11 - New twists on the vampire genre, including "Miracle
|
|
Baby", of a girl who grows substituting sex for her unknown taste for blood,
|
|
"Handyman 3000" where a vampire copes with a future world of bio-clones and
|
|
synthetic blood, and "Into that Silent Sea", with a strange mix of vampires
|
|
and sea monsters. Brainstorm Comics.
|
|
|
|
*** The Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft - Issue #1 - Illustrates the Statement of
|
|
Randolph Carter, where a criminal behavior researcher, guided by legends
|
|
found in an ancient copy of the Necronimicon, goes in search of a graveyard
|
|
containing a portal to the ancient, unknown world. Only his shaken
|
|
assistant, who didn't go down, survives. Caliber Comics.
|
|
|
|
*** Young Witches - Book 2 - 2 of 6 - As the young girls remain trapped and
|
|
drugged, Jack the Ripper continues his bloody campaign, which in turn draws
|
|
Sigmund Freud and Sherlock Holmes to the area. As part of his investigation,
|
|
Holmes search leads him to the secret and perverted stage show, using the
|
|
captive women as servants and performers in a particularly spectacular
|
|
performance. Very graphic- with a variety of sexual acts or perversions to
|
|
interest and disgust nearly anyone. Eros Comics.
|
|
|
|
***** Zero Zero - Jan/Feb 1996 - Great collection of shorts from some of the
|
|
best artists in independent comics. This issue features another installment
|
|
of "The Chuckling Whatsit" by Richard Sala, Zippy the Pinhead explores
|
|
commercialized consumer cults in "Bestworld" by Bill Griffith, more strange
|
|
revelations in "The Strange Secret of Molly O'Dare" by Kim Deitch, plus more
|
|
wild shorts. Great stuff. Fantagraphics
|
|
|
|
***** Zero Zero - March/April 1996 - One of the best, and most mind-bendingly
|
|
bizarre collection of short stories around. Includes serial stories "The
|
|
Strange Secret of Molly O'Dare" by Kim Deitch, "The Chuckling Whatsit" by
|
|
Richard Sala, and "Homunculus: The Eunuch's Tale" by Mack White. Also,

|
Caffeine #1 - New comics by Jim Hill - Although no coffee itself is present,
|
|
the stressful jitters it inspires flow throughout the short stories. Affairs,
|
|
jealous husbands, lost loves, rejection, and general alienation between the
|
|
sexes string the stories together, plus, it takes some well-deserved raps at
|
|
the "cool" scene, girls who stay with abusive boyfriends, etc. The "I'm So
|
|
Pissed" section takes close aim at some real cultural stupidity, with
|
|
nobody- including the Slacker/GenX crowd, excepted. Interesting bunch of
|
|
characters too, with neat artwork that flows much like a movie.
|
|
|
|
Johnny the Homocidal Maniac #3 - Johnny not only criticizes the pretentious
|
|
"hip", the incompetent and inconsiderate posers, he also enjoys hacking them
|
|
into little pieces. Goaded onward by the styrofoam figures who talk to him,
|
|
Johnny goes on murderous rampages, mutilating and torturing his victims,
|
|
while being un-killable and un-capturable himself. Wild stories, extremely
|
|
graphic violence, easily on par with the Post Brothers. Not for the
|
|
squeamish.
|
|
|
|
Murder Can Be Fun! #1 - In the first comic version of Johnny Marr's
|
|
infamous zine, this first issue focuses on large scale man-made disasters
|
|
through history. Includes the Hartford Circus Fire (1944,dead:168), the
|
|
Nashville train wreck (1918,>100 dead), the Triangle Factory Fire, that led
|
|
to building safety codes, where 146 people died, mostly women leaping to
|
|
their deaths to avoid the fire, the Port Chicago explosion that killed 320,
|
|
mostly black workers, and the Boston Molasses Flood that killed 21 in a
|
|
tidal wave of sticky molasses. All true, and illustrated by different
|
|
artists. As bad as the disaster are the negligence that led to the mishaps
|
|
and the coverups and treatment of the victims. Definitely a must-have.

The Lawn
|
|
|
|
by NENSLO
|
|
|
|
Mrs. Nenslo stood by the kitchen table, sternly drying her little
|
|
white hands. She had That Look on her face. Nenslo could feel it without
|
|
even looking up from the triangle of toast which had stopped halfway into
|
|
his open mouth. Slowly, delicately, he bit off a corner. Guilt turned
|
|
the hot buttery morsel into rubber cement studded with broken lightbulbs
|
|
but he chewed and chewed and finally swallowed the grating wad. His
|
|
shoulders had risen up to his ears as if expecting a stout whack. He
|
|
glanced shiftily toward her waist, forced a grin and whimpered, "Yes,
|
|
dear?"
|
|
|
|
He knew, and she knew he knew, but if he could get her to say it
|
|
and support his pretense of ignorance then he was innocent. Having gotten
|
|
her to tacitly validate his lie he would be victorious for seven ego
|
|
points.
|
|
|
|
"This would be a good day to take care of the lawn," she said.
|
|
"Yep, you're absolutely right! It sure would!" He grinned,
|
|
leaning back, nothing in his words actually committing him to do it. She
|
|
just stood there. With That Look. And waited.
|
|
|
|
The dam burst.
|
|
|
|
GUILT. A scalding mudslide of guilt buried him, scorched away his
|
|
flesh and left only a Nenslo-shaped cavity. She knew he knew.
|
|
|
|
"Okay. I'll do it right after breakfast," a little mousy squeaked.
|
|
|
|
Limp, he shoveled cold greasy cardboard into his mouth and she
|
|
drifted silently away.
|
|
|
|
On Planet X, everybody lives right next door to everybody else.
|
|
|
|
Nenslo saw Stang across the fence, scuffling through knee-high yellow
|
|
grass. When their eyes met, they simultaneously blurted, "Can I borrow
|
|
your..."
|
|
|
|
After a shamefaced moment Nenslo said, "Gotta mow yours too?"
|
|
|
|
Stang nodded. "Yeah, an' god damn 'Bob' borrowed my mower a
|
|
coupla weeks ago an' never brought it back."
|
|
|
|
"Damn," said Nenslo, folding his arms atop the fence. "Borrowed
|
|
mine last month." He rested his stringy beard on a bony freckled arm and
|
|
cast his eyes down among Stang's baked weeds. "I just hate to bother the
|
|
guy, you know?"
|
|
|
|
They started asking around. With thousands of nextdoor neighbors
|
|
somebody had to have a mower.
|
|
|
|
The 'Brow's was a shattered heap. Lies had made his into a robot
|
|
dinosaur. Agon's was converted into a combination ELF wave detector and
|
|
musical instrument. Mostly, though, it was "Bob" has it... loaned it to

"Bob"... last week, last month, last year... never brought it back.
|
|
There wasn't a mowed lawn on the planet. Except one.
|
|
|
|
They sat on Stang's back step in the shadow of his dog.
|
|
|
|
Nenslo scraped at the dry clay with a stick. "Who you scareder
|
|
of, Ivan? Your wife... or 'Bob.'"
|
|
|
|
Stang spat like a man. "Shit. I ain't scareda 'Bob.'"
|
|
|
|
Nenslo slapped his hands on his bony knees. "Okay? 'Sgo."
|
|
|
|
"Bob's" lawn looked great. It was perfectly flat, perfectly green,
|
|
perfectly square. They shuffled up the walk between conical shrubs as if
|
|
they were walking to the gallows. From around back came the drone of a
|
|
lawnmower. "MY lawnmower," they each thought.
|
|
|
|
They headed around the side of the house to the back and stopped
|
|
short. There was Connie in a tiny little pair of cutoffs and a teensy
|
|
little striped t-shirt, striding along behind a big shiny red lawnmower
|
|
out of a dream. Connie was enough to raise the dead, but that machine was
|
|
godlike. They were instantly in love. They seemed to be floating above
|
|
their bodies, entranced by the roar of the biggest, shiniest, reddest,
|
|
greatest lawnmower in the world.
|
|
|
|
Connie rounded a tree and saw them. She waved with her whole
|
|
body, perfect teeth shone between scarlet lips, and she pointed. On the
|
|
patio was a fringed green hammock in a standup frame, and in it was "Bob."
|
|
|
|
A copy of Rank magazine was tented over his face and from under the lower
|
|
eave protruded The Pipe, benignly smoking. The mower's roar mellowed as
|
|
Connie flawlessly piloted it toward the back of their endless lot.
|
|
|
|
They stumbled over and looked down at "Bob." Nenslo nudged Stang,
|
|
who flapped an exasperated hand at him and squeaked, "uh.. 'Bob?'"
|
|
|
|
"Bob" rose majestically, as if he'd never been asleep, and in one
|
|
smooth motion took the magazine off his face, pivoted in the hammock and
|
|
placed his snow-white deck shoes on the patio's elegant Italian tiles.
|
|
|
|
"Well hi there boys!" he said in his smooth Bing Crosby baritone and rose
|
|
to his feet, placing a big warm hand on a shoulder of each of the bony,
|
|
sweating cowards who quailed before him. There was a gleam in his eye as
|
|
he said, "I'd like to do you two a favor..."
|
|
|
|
The sun was going down when Stang and Nenslo shuffled home. They
|
|
were dusty, elated and exhausted, babbling like schoolboys.
|
|
|
|
"Man, oh man," Nenslo cried, and smacked one knobby fist into a
|
|
grimy, blistered palm. "What a honey of a machine!"
|
|
|
|
Stang gouged him with an elbow and grinned, "You don't have to
|
|
tell me a thing! Did you see me back there?" He flew a hand upward like
|
|
a jet. "VROOM!"
|
|
|
|
They laughed like fools, threw an arm around each other's
|
|
shoulders and stumbled limply on, smelling each other's sweat.
|
|
|
|
Nenslo hung his tired head down and watched his dirty sneakers
|
|
walk. They were covered with grass clippings. So were his pants, his
|
|
shirt, his hair. He shook his head and said, "Man, I'd like to set that
|
|
baby loose on OUR yards some time. I bet it'd take care of 'em in..."
|
|
|
|
They froze. Stark terror clawed their souls. Stang murmured "Oh,
|
|
shit..." and they looked deep into each other's eyes as if to say,
|
|
"Goodbye, old friend."
|
|
|
|
Connie brought another perfect martini and purred, "The boys did a
|
|
pretty good job, didn't they?"
|
|
|
|
"Bob" was standing by the door into the garage. "Mmm, yeah.
|
|
Pretty good."
|
|
|
|
He gazed mildly on row after row after row of lawnmowers, then
|
|
smoothly shut the door.
|
|
|
|
"What are you thinking?" Connie sighed.
|
|
|
|
"Oh... nothing..." said "Bob."

Kent, Ohio is the home of a searing noise machine called Indian Rope Burn, a
|
|
four piece electro/organic hybrid who hit with the impact of an IRA nail bomb
|
|
in a shopping mall. While the industrial genre flounders and wallows in its
|
|
own maudlin seriousness, IRB triumph by retaining *the impact while stripping
|
|
away the pretense. The following interview took place via email*.
|
|
|
|
QUESTIONS 1. Regarding songwriting method/division of labor 2. Don't
|
|
remember. 3 How much impact, if any, has formal training had on IRB.
|
|
4. Regarding juxtaposition of humor & dark subject matter in IRB material.
|
|
5. Self-description of genre. 6. Regarding sample sources 7. Influence
|
|
of media/technology on IRB. 8. Band's relation to Kent State, Ohio, &
|
|
whether they minded the massacre. 9. Regarding Mike's production training,
|
|
experience, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INDIAN ROPE BURN
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.Mike Yep, thats it in a nutshell- I sit in my little studio for hours
|
|
and hours with the headphones welded to my head listening to samples and
|
|
sequences, then I give the tape to Clay...
|
|
Clay: I write the lyrics, The rest of the band contributes their individual
|
|
parts as they see fit, then we beat each other up and much blood is spilled
|
|
over the final arrangement. The result is true Democracy-BROKEN BONES!
|
|
|
|
2.Clay: Those who re-write history are doomed to copyright it. The major
|
|
motion picture will explain it ALL.
|
|
Mike: Everyone has been bought off and placed into "protective custody"
|
|
if you know what I mean...
|
|
|
|
3.Clay: "Formal Music Training" means very little to me. If you practice
|
|
enough, you'll sound like....someone ELSE! Who needs that. We are much
|
|
more interested in "informal music training" getting ideas from non-musical
|
|
sources. My biggest influence right now are cheesy horror movies and low
|
|
budget exploitation films. Stuff like that motivates me to write songs
|
|
more than listening to other people's lyrics or anything like that.
|
|
Mike: I didn't pick up the guitar until I was 17. My parents got worried.
|
|
They thought that I'd lost my mind (which was true). Then I started making
|
|
some money, so they shut up. they were worried that I was pissing away my
|
|
future (almost true). I only put the guitar down long enough to learn how
|
|
to use a computer. Keyboards are still a mystery to me, but I kinda like
|
|
it that way. Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing(g). I'd rather it
|
|
be intuitive than logical. I spend most of my life being logical...
|
|
Besides, most people who know too much theory usually end up trying to
|
|
make the rest of us pay for it.
|
|
|
|
4.Clay: Humor is very important and *real* elements in music and life. In
|
|
fact, I think a morbid sense of humor is a requirement for life in this
|
|
modern new age-a-go-go society.
|
|
Mike: Or this band...
|
|
Clay: I don't think using humor somehow makes a work of art less serious,
|
|
it only gives the listener a different view of the same landscape. As for
|
|
taking one's self seriously...a band taking itself seriously is not entirely
|
|
a bad thing. Music has become so divided these days that the "cut and dry,
|
|
black and white, funny or not funny, this genre or that, I'm in MY CLUB"
|
|
attitude is the only thing people seem to understand...well, we're here to
|
|
"blur" those distinctions and show that things are not just one way or the
|
|
other, that you either have to be serious or humorous-but not both...fuck
|
|
that. Our songs do have an overriding sense of urgency to them, but after
|
|
a while some humor will show through-at least if we're honest, it will.
|
|
Mike: Juxtaposition is really the word here. It's not that we aren't
|
|
willing to take what we do seriously, we're *very* serious about how things
|
|
turn out within the songs, we just use humor as another element. It's a
|
|
very black humor too, with sarcasm and irony being the best way to express
|
|
ourselves and in making a point. The late comedian Bill Hicks once said on
|
|
his popularity in England and not at home, "Americans don't get irony".
|
|
Some people miss the irony in IRB. As with all of our songs, everything has
|
|
a purpose; there are no extraneous bits put in there to be clever, it all
|
|
serves the song. On the other hand if we were to assume a posturing and
|
|
serious tone all the time, I think it would get cartoonish pretty quickly.
|
|
|
|
5.Clay: I'd lump IRB in the I-don't-give-a-fuck-Techno-Metal-Death-Trap-Hell
|
|
Funk-Disco Weaving-Soul-Groove-Acid Bath-in-the-Barn-Slippery-Slime-Cult
|
|
branch of Modern Music. If that doesn't work for you, try "industrial".
|
|
Mike: We try not to be pigeonholed. I don't feel comfortable with being
|
|
lumped with any one genre of music, which I think is reflected in our music.
|
|
Some people aren't happy unless they can categorize it, others do it just
|
|
because they want to protect *their* music. It's an identity thing and I
|
|
find that confining. I mean, we're classified as an industrial band because
|
|
we use machines and samples. O.K., but thats not what we *are*.
|
|
|
|
6.Clay: I think Mike is referring to sampling. The more obscure the sample
|
|
the less likely we'll be sued for copyright infringement...
|
|
Mike: Check! I like weird old scratchy vinyl (about 3000 or so and counting
|
|
and forcing me out of my house) which is also my big source for samples, but
|
|
I don't listen to that much contemporary industrial music. Vinyl and old
|
|
B-Horror and Science Fiction movies are more influential. Musically, ummm...
|
|
Eno, Joy Division, Wire, Mission of Burma, Husker Du, Black Flag...y'know,
|
|
Art/Punk Rock(g).
|
|
|
|
7.Clay: Techno-Boredom, jeez where do I start with a concept like *that*?!
|
|
If nothing else the media has shown itself to be *the* most influential
|
|
element in modern times. Its seductive powers are enormous, even affecting
|
|
those who have guarded themselves against it. The ability to sell you
|
|
everything from a new dish detergent to a War in the Persian Gulf has
|
|
indelibly and permanently affected not only our most private condition and
|
|
behavior. The media is not just "New and Entertainment" to most people, but
|
|
a link to a mystical world view where everything makes sense (or the media's
|
|
idea of what makes sense). To the population at large, the mass media is
|
|
the final authority; the truth is dealt in 30 second sound bites, the grand
|
|
arbiter of taste and fashion and finally the Lord of our thoughts, the
|
|
gospel--a religion in and of itself. "Facts" are gathered to support already
|
|
existing opinions and the nation makes its most critical choices based on the
|
|
latest Gallup Poll...ah, just kiddin', actually T.V. is pretty relaxing.
|
|
Mike: Oh, I'm at my happiest with a Guiness in one hand and the remote in
|
|
the other soaking up radiation...
|
|
|
|
8a.Clay: Nope, no affiliation with the University.
|
|
Mike: Just happen to live here...
|
|
8b.Clay: Ohio has absolutely *no* bearing on the type of band or people we
|
|
are. In general, Ohio is too BORING to be scary ("scary" I wouldn't mind,
|
|
but "boring" sucks). The predominant music scene in this area has NO
|
|
influence on our music--one listen to Sex Party should make that evident.
|
|
My view is more "Big Picture" oriented.
|
|
8c.Clay: As for *you* not minding the Kent State massacre...well, I guess
|
|
you're not the one who got the bullet in the head.
|
|
Mike: I'm friends with Alan Canfora, one of those who got shot (he got it
|
|
in the wrist), did a little production work for the Kent State Task Force
|
|
for the 20th anniversary in 1990 and we played some benefits for them in
|
|
NYC...I think you can tell what I thought of it.
|
|
|
|
9.Mike: As for the production side of things, college was an expensive waste
|
|
of my time as the college production department blew. I learned more the
|
|
first day out of school than the five years in it. I've had some long
|
|
discussions on this topic (production schools) on the net with people who,
|
|
once they found out what I did, asked me about schools for production. I
|
|
told them it was a waste of time because they don't teach the one most
|
|
important class of all: Real Life Situations. Just knowing how to push the
|
|
buttons to get the cool sounds doesn't even *begin* to prepare you for
|
|
production. It's more how you can handle personalities while pushing *their*
|
|
buttons. Psychology or Juggling would be a better class to take to become a
|
|
producer. You're dealing with some very different personalities and egos
|
|
from day to day and under different levels of stress. I've done other
|
|
projects for friends, but mostly I spent years working at home getting my
|
|
shit together, and with engineer Greg D. Feezel who runs Electro-Sound, we
|
|
really worked the sounds. Sex Party doesn't sound too bad for 5 days of
|
|
recording and 5 days of mixing. The new one, The Big Bang Payoff, we spent
|
|
a little more time on, but that's because the new stuff is a little more
|
|
complex in scope, but at the same time, a little more raw sounding with more
|
|
emphasis on the organic side of the band. Musically, it's possibly even more
|
|
diverse than Sex Party was. A net friend of mine asked, "In one word or
|
|
less, describe the latest IRB album." "Maximalism." "Maximalism?" "Yeah...
|
|
it's one big vulgar display of over-producing."

Have a question that you need an incomprehensible answer to?
|
|
Ask the master-- Ambassador Kosh from Babyoon 5!!
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You'll need a computer with a sound card in order to hear
|
|
Kosh's answers to your questions. Plus, there are tons of
|
|
other sound files from the show. What the hell is he talking about?

Real Deal Magazine
|
|
|
|
The illustrated "Urban Terror" magazine, this website contains
|
|
acts of violence, racism, misogyny, hate, rage, and ill will towards
|
|
all of mankind. Lots of samples from the real magazine, which you can
|
|
order, which find humor in man's inclination toward violence, which
|
|
*can* solve most problems. Ask your friendly local Postal worker.
|
|
Definitely not for the politically correct. If the censors are going
|
|
to scream about violence, you might as well go all the way. Recommended.

of various articles on how punk/gothic types make and break resolutions.

|
|
of the articles and info apply to them anywhere. There's lots of support

and positive encouragement for the girls here, with upcoming regular columns

from them, with ads and resources for them. Not too much -in this issue-
|
|
about the relentless work of busybody censors to shut them down, but that

Giants and Little People #3 - Tales of people in the extremes of the size
|
|
range, both real and in fiction. This one starts with a large listing of
|
|
movies with big and little people- from obvious ones like "The Incredible
|
|
Shrinking Man" to "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman", with a synopsis of each.
|
|
A very interesting zine, Black Giantess, is an erotic fantasy zine about
|
|
huge, "cruelly sensual African" women. And, it rounds out with several
|
|
pages of actual newspaper coverage of the Robert Wadlow, the world's tallest
|
|
man ever, at 8 feet 11 inches. $1 from Bob Nelson, 75 Hale St. #1

|
|
Giants and Little People #4 - Continuing with movies and TV shows with
|
|
big and little people, this one lists episodes of the Simpsons with that
|
|
funny intro couch segment, more movies, plus letters and an in-depth
|
|
discussion of the Shrinking Man movie. Here's my entry: the Friday's
|
|
restaurant chain has the "little guy" commercials where he hawks the
|

various specialty dishes. $1 from Bob Nelson, 75 Hale St. #1

|
shrunken people in books: the Micronauts series by Gordon Williams, and
|
|
"Cold War in a Country Garden" by Lindsay Gutteridge. Plus, lots of other
|
|
trivia on movies and books, with letters with even more examples. Its

amazing how often these themes appear in fantasy fiction. $1 from Bob Nelson,

|
75 Hale St. #1, Beverly, MA 01915 USA

|
G.O.P. - Neat little bumper sticker that someone sent. It has the letters
|
|
in white on a red background, with a swastika in the "O" in the middle.
|
|
After listening to Dole, Buchanan and Co., its more than a little true.
|
|
And, across the top, it lists a bunch of familiar themes that, if you had
|
|
heard them in the 30s, you'd feel deja vu- patriotism, "family values,"
|
|
right to life, school prayer -- but I take exception with the inclusion of
|
|
"gun ownership". Like all totalitarian societies, the Nazis were some of
|
|
the biggest gun-grabbers around, with predictable consequences for the
|
|
disarmed. Anyway, its a great sticker. $5 for 20, $10 for 50, or $15 for

The Haw River Testimony - Vol. 6 #1 - The official newspaper of Saxapahaw,
|
|
which makes Twin Peaks look normal by comparison. After George Forman had
|
|
been elected to mayor, extremist Islamic Shiites and Aryans made it onto the
|
|
city council, just in time for the firefight which kicked the ATF's as, who
|
|
were in town to investigate election irregularities. Lots of articles and
|
|
ads, which all tie together for a lot of strange fun. Plus, regular cartoons
|
|
with creative dialog, the "Blondie" strip will never look the same. No
|
|
price listed, but send something for postage, at least. Salmon P. Roe,

JND Pseudo-Zine - Covers lots of various subjects (all written pages),
|
|
with lots of mystical/supernatural implications. Includes first-hand accounts
|
|
of Ouija board experiences by the author (yeah, I know its impressive, but I'd
|
|
be *much* more impressed if that puck could move without someone's hand on it)
|
|
information on the evidence for Bigfoot/sasquatch, lots of great contacts for
|
|
religious and strange phenomena, philosophical discussions, and onward to
|
|
more mundane but still interesting music/song listings, tape catalogs, and
|
|
B-movies (I have a fair number of those albums....) Much of it seems to be
|
|
APA-style from various people, so he might possibly accept further discussions
|
|
from his zine. No price listed, but he seems to like trades: JND Pseudo Zine

man's subliminial god, by hermies purrbuckets - Book explaining the

meaninglessness and futility of human life, and how the only noble thing

to do is to end it. Rather pro-active in its prognosis, it actively
|
|
advocating not only avoiding procreating, but also ending your own
|
|
miserable existence. And, dreary as it might seem, there's a bit of truth
|
|
in there- the humans *are* jerked around and fed lies and trained to torture
|
|
each other with meaningless "rules" and traditions. As discarded, failed
|
|
experiments of Yeti labs, thats to be expected. In the meantime, although

NCSE Reports - Fall 1995 - The inside scoop on fundamentalists trying to push
|
|
the "creationist" religious agenda in public school science classes, from the
|
|
front lines opposing them. The big news is Pat Buchanan's call for teaching
|
|
creationism in all schools, under the same old tired "pro-family" rhetoric.
|
|
There are some victories, but with fundamentalists stealthily infiltrating
|
|
school boards everywhere, its just going to get worse. NCSE membership,

Notes from Oblivion #27 & 28 - Issue #27 (20 pages- lots of stuff!) is a
|
|
compilation of bits and pieces from #11-20; tons of jumbled subgenius-style
|
|
clip-art, cartoons and meaningful phrases, with artwork and writings that Jay
|
|
did much earlier. Issue #28 (7 pages) deals mainly with a strange, un-named
|
|
progressive neurological disorder that Jay suffers from- which, among other
|
|
things, is making him go blind. Some people have given him a hard time for
|
|
it, but his eyesight does seem to be extremely bad. The zines are $2 each,
|
|
or FREE in exchange for tape-letters, audio SubGenius productions or sci-fi.
|
|
If you have a zine, have someone read it and record it. Also, write "Free

stuff to him absolutely free. Jay Harber, 626 Paddock Lane,

|
|
story of living in a little tourist trap named Chemainus, and Randy Chaos

Racoon Times #1 - Actually edited by a raccoon, merely xeroxed by humans.
|
|
Lots of reviews of some more offbeat bands, not "alternative" but parody,
|
|
spoof, and off-genre covers that sound interesting (in a Dred Zeppelin-sorta
|
|
way). Plus, a look at all the different talk and music formats on the radio,
|

zines, and the start of Raccoon comics. Only $1 to Bob Nelson (who also

|
|
Leinster, Star Gate, Three Against the Witch World, and The Crystal Gryphon
|
|
by Andre Norton. Also includes another great ST:TNG parody script,
|
|
Microsoft(tm): The Next Generation. Not really "highbrow" as some evil

|
dwarf had sneaked into a previous HToMC (and is now being punished), but

Second Renaissance Books - Winter 1996 - The official source of Ayn Rand and

Objectivist books, tapes and memoirs, they also carry a wide variety of books
|

on various topics but along much the same philosophical lines. Plus, they have
|
|
tons of material on audio tapes, including courses on history, writing, logic,

and philosophy. Definitely not "liberal", but not exactly "conservative"

|
either; although similar on many current issues, they aren't afraid to tell

both camps why they're full of it. Featured items in this issue are tapes of

Skeptical Inquirer Nov/Dec 1995 - This issue blows the lid off of the "alien
|
|
autopsy" film, which many people suspect as just yet another way to sell
|
|
video tapes to the gullible masses. Plus, this big magazine has articles on
|
|
unreliable eyewitness testimony, the GAO Roswell Report, cultural deceptions,
|
|
creationists vs. psychic fairs, and lots more. One of the few publications
|
|
to question a lot of things that need questioning. Single issue $4.95,

Skeptical Inquirer - Jan/Feb 1996 - Tons of articles investigating recent
|
|
events and claims, including a Hollywood special effects artist who tells
|
|
exactly how to make an alien used in the "autopsy", with a surgeon's
|
|
critique of that film, new tests to accurately gauge the success of those
|
|
"psychic detectives" who help police (they don't!), how people are fooled
|
|
by statistics, and the outright hostility that TV and the movies show
|
|
toward skeptics and scientists. After watching the network nitwits on ABC
|
|
trying to "test" the psychics, some balance is needed and this is it.

Solar Age Hemp Paper Report - Spring 1996 - Keep up-to-date with efforts to
|
|
re-legalize one of the most harmless and useful plants on the face of the
|
|
planet. In the news, the Navajo Nation will begin a large scale planting,
|
|
plus many universities are now doing research on new uses. Of course, this
|
|
is all being opposed by police organizations who fear more drug "problems"-
|
|
caused more by the laws themselves than any drug ever could. The hemp movement
|
|
is picking up steam, with tons of contacts and good info here. Get info on

Survivor - Vol. 7 #8 - This issue delves back into what's going wrong with
|
|
our society, from the desire of every group to ban anything they don't like,
|
|
to criminal actions by the government, etc. It also takes new, hard looks
|
|
at *true* free speech, and the true effect of gun control- with tons of
|
|
storys you'll never see on TV, with what *really* happens out there in reality.
|
|
Plus, tons and tons of great political cartoons, ads for all sorts of info/

Survivor - Vol. 8 #1 (Jan 96) - Tons of great hints, ads, and contacts
|
|
relating to self-sufficiency. The main feature, however, is a complete
|
|
reprint of Harry Browne's pamphlet on why he's running for President,which
|
|
is a damning indictment of the current system and a credible plan for getting
|
|
the country out of its current awful mess. Too bad the networks are only
|
|
going to give that free air time to "major" candidates- as this stuff would
|
|
expose them for the corrupt whores the current politicians are. (no offense
|
|
to the honest "working girls" out there). Plus, there's the collages of

great political cartoons and other info. Donation to: Evans, 11-15 45th Ave,

are also highly recommended in the music review section. Also, nicely-

formatted shitty job experiences that didn't make it onto the resume,

trival pursuit with Morrissey, and effective excuses for getting out of

work. Much more, with lots of fun *attitude*, with no hesitation whatsoever

|
|
reviews and criticisms, information, and general articles from this outgrowth
|
|
of the original Church of Satan. Lots of opinions and commentary from the
|
|
satanic perspective; the most intriguing is the notion that the reason that
|
|
most *christian* churches continue to thrive is because they use *satanic*
|
|
practices, including intimidation, greed, and mysticism. Also, there are
|
|
plenty of reminders from the media of how debauched the "church" in America
|
|
has become. This is a very active chapter, with ongoing meetings and
|

that I agree 100% with- since rumors and scare tactics have all but destroyed
|
|
the once-fantastic holiday Halloween, we ought to do the same thing to let the
|
|
air out of this society's other "favorite" holiday, Christmas. Like the
|
|
purely mythical "razorblades in candy" rumors, a few carefully placed child-

How To Stop Your Phone From Ringing
|
|
***********************************
|
|
|
|
Leola Starling of Ribrock, Tenn., had a serious telephone problem. But
|
|
unlike most people she did something lateral about it. The brand-new $10
|
|
million Ribrock Plaza Motel opened nearby and had acquired almost the
|
|
same telephone number as Leola. From the moment the motel opened, Leola
|
|
was besieged by calls not for her. Since she had the same phone number
|
|
for years, she felt that she had a case to persuade the motel management
|
|
to change its number. Naturally, the management refused claiming that it
|
|
could not change its stationery. The phone company was not helpful,
|
|
either. A number was a number, and just because a customer was getting
|
|
someone else's calls 24 hours a day didn't make it responsible. After
|
|
her pleas fell on deaf ears, Leola decided to take matters into her own
|
|
hands. (now stop for a moment and think what you would do ? Now try
|
|
reversal !)
|
|
At 9 o'clock the phone rang. Someone from Memphis was calling the
|
|
motel and asked for a room for the following Tuesday. Leoloa said, "No
|
|
problem. How many nights?" A few hours later Dallas checked in.
|
|
secretary wanted a suite with two bedrooms for a week. Emboldened, Leola
|
|
said the Presidential Suite on the 10th floor was available for $600 a
|
|
night. The secretary said that she would take it and asked if the hotel
|
|
wanted a deposit. "No, that won't be necessary," Leola said. "We trust
|
|
you." The next day was a busy one for Leola. In the morning, she booked
|
|
an electric appliance manufacturers' convention for Memorial Day weekend,
|
|
a college prom and a reunion of the 82nd Airborne veterans from World War
|
|
II. She turned on her answering machine during lunchtime so that she
|
|
could watch the O.J. Simpson trial, but her biggest challenge came in the
|
|
afternoon when a mother called to book the ballroom for her daughter's
|
|
wedding in June. Leola assured the woman that it would be no problem and
|
|
asked if she would be providing the flowers or did she want the hotel to
|
|
take care of it. The mother said that she would prefer the hotel to
|
|
handle the floral arrangements. Then the question of valet parking came
|
|
up. Once again Leola was helpful. "There's no charge for valet parking,
|
|
but we always recommend that the client tips the drivers."
|
|
|
|
Within a few months, the Ribrock Plaza Motel was a disaster area.
|
|
People kept showing up for weddings, bar mitzvahs, and Sweet Sixteen
|
|
parties and were all told there were no such events. Leola had her
|
|
final revenge when she read in the local paper that the motel might go
|
|
bankrupt. Her phone rang, and an executive from Marriott said, "we're
|
|
prepared to offer you $200,000 for the motel." Leola replied. "We'll take
|
|
it, but only if you change the telephone number."
