I was told by no other than a post modernists who shall remain nameless due to his straight edge ness that the only post modernist band is No Trend. Which is why you should go see them. They must be cool, cause lydia supper thinks they are... here a story from the paper written by susie's friend and partner in opressing the independent records JD Constantslime: (from the washington compost weekend section) "Arty english dance bands follow a familar formula these days. In any given song, the basic beat is laid down by the drums, and then reinforced alternately by the bass, which otherwise takes a semi-melodic role, and the guitar which is treated heavily enough to add ambient noise to the general pulse. Flesh out the sound with some tinkling piano or arcane percussion, add some nasal, nearly tuneless vocals and you've got the makings of a full feature in Melody Maker or some other British paper." DID YOU READ THIS ??? I mean this guy is even on your wimpy, non-amerricanistic side when it comes to music, mainlu because most american bands and labels are smart enough to realize that all these slimey writers want are freebies. I know a few american labels which do not cater to this kind of back-scratching ideology (Dischord stands number 1 on this list). see what JD is saying ?? go to england, get a drum machine, a synth, some bad vocals, and a haircut and you got yerself a NME spread...which is what most bands do anyway. Peter, my boy - your logic is so full of stupid holes I'm not even gonna bother to respond, I have more important things conversations to carry on. god is sending me all this mail and i cant respond to it fast enough (what you dont talk back to your god ?? why not I ask). rossi and taylor should have there mailboxes full sooner or later. more slime for ya... Mornign Glories/ Pussy Galore dc space two weeks ago didn't see you hear sue, what happened, dc space not akin to giving out free tickets ?? Morning Glories were once again, on the train to making a record. They've gotten there act together more than last time I saw them. Mitch Parker is still Mitch Parker, there female guitarist is singing more, which is a plus cause I love her voice and am not crazy about the other guitarists voice. The drummer's mom was there, so he hadda play 'real good' for mom. Pussy Galore, billed as 'Better than Jesus and Mary Wankoff, cause they have two good drummers instead of one bad one !!' They also only charge 3 dollars for the event, 11 less than the english wavos did. There second percusisonist actually used a car spring on top of an oil drum and knocked out the rhythm with a hammer and hollow pipes. You know these dudes are hot when they first cover Throbbing Gristle's "Hot on the Heels of Love" and ABSOLUTELTY shredded the song into little pieces. later they also covered some stones tunes (get off of my cloud being one) and had a "Pussy Jam" where they invited people to step up and pound away on the oil can for the duration. Me ?? naw, it was 1:30 and I hadda split so i could sleep so i could sit in a car for 7 hours with a sweaty slimey scumball. Meat Puppies / trend-o-rama yawn. boring. friendof mine fell asleep downstairs. sold out show. WHY i asked myself. still can't figure out that one. i mean albums 2 and 3 were great, but 4 ?? yawn a matic. taking themselves too seriously I believe. "Gee lets be cool and see the meat puppets". stay home and wait for scratch acid. wank wank [][][][][][][][][][] Date: Mon, 2 Jun 86 15:51:13 EST From: hsut@ec.purdue.edu (Bill Hsu) Subject: son of EVOL fanzine drivel Re: Sonic Youth and major labels Oops, I meant to say "Homestead's attempt to move SY to a major label" instead of whatever I said. Sorry... Is there any truth to the rumor that Sonic Youth is planning to cover the White Album? Can anyone confirm the influence of the late great Philip K. Dick on bands like Throbbing Gristle, or is this just another rock crit fabrication? Bill Hsu [][][][][][][][][][] -- It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under.
