I'm more like preternaturally thin with a couple of Controlled Bleeding tapes in my pocket :-) New stuff: Flipside has been out for about a week. Interview with Scratch Acid (with yet another rare photo of the band!!!) in which they give some honest opinions of their own vinyl, among other things. Also lots of reviews, interviews, etc. This is a bit more varied and laidback than Maximum Rock & Roll, so if you're turned off by MR&R's politics, check this out. Film Threat is an underground movies zine out of Boston (I think). Printed on nice paper (because they print lots of stills, I assume) and has well- written articles and good interviews (this issue has Lydia Lunch, Richard Kern, and John Waters. What else can you want? :-)) However, don't look for the "established" film-makers like Lynch here. Most of these guys work in the cheaper formats or videotape, and you probably won't see any of their work in general release for awhile yet. (If you need their address let me know). BLACKHUMOR 2-cassette set (Peace in our time & Radical positive) This is the type of thing that gives experimental/industrial music a bad name. The packaging is great: the tapes are encased in what looks like dried black paint. Peace is a tape of the manipulated sounds of 4 couples having sex. The sounds aren't particularly memorable, and the manipulations aren't terribly interesting either. Radical positive has a bunch of tape loops of manipulated voices and machine noise strung together. Boring. Brad can stand John Duncan and even he hates this shit. Avoid like the plague. Comes with a nice leaflet with great titles for the tracks (like Snakes in an Atheist's Grave) and a booklet/catalog of graphics and (superior) tapes you can order from their label. Bill
