however , selfridge felt slighted that field refused to increase his share of ownership and incorporate his name into that of the firm , so he begrudgingly left marshall field & company in 1901 and bought the business of schlesinger and mayer , a few blocks south . within a few months’ time , however , selfridge determined that he disliked competing with the store he had done so much to develop , so he sold the schlesinger and mayer business to carson pirie scott & co . , and left chicago for london , england where he built and developed his new selfridge & co . into one of the british capital’s largest and most influential department stores .

: john william cresswell corbusier ( 1873 - 1978 ) , shown in this 1911 photo from the ohio architect and builder journal , was one of cleveland ' s most notable architects of the early twentieth century . he specialized in church designs and designed eleven churches in northeast ohio during the period 1913 - 1928 . his career was tragically cut short by his sudden and untimely death at age 49 in 1928 , the year before construction of the salmon halle mansion was completed .


alternative tentacles is an independent record label established in 1979 in san francisco , california .

it was originally used as the label name by the dead kennedys for the self-produced single " california über alles " , and after realizing the potential for an independent label , they released records for other bands as well .

dead kennedys guitarist east bay ray and vocalist jello biafra formed the original alternative tentacles partnership , but the label is now run by biafra , who became the sole owner in the mid-1980s .

alternative tentacles no longer owns the rights to dead kennedys recordings after a 2000 lawsuit .

biafra and alternative tentacles would become involved in further legal entanglements in the 1990s . to illustrate the back cover of a 1992 crucifucks album , the label used a photograph that was originally part of a police public relations campaign to help fend off reductions in the police force . the poster featured a picture of an officer who was pretending to be dead , the text reading ,
you wouldn ' t sacrifice your life for a million bucks .
alternative tentacles did not contest the charges and a federal magistrate ordered the record company to pay $ 2 . 2 million in damages . the judgment was overturned three months later and the case was ultimately dismissed .
alternative tentacles was founded by dks to release their music , and by 1981 it had assembled most of the players in the emerging north american hardcore punk scene for a compilation , let them eat jellybeans , aimed at british and european audiences . the following year , doa , tsol and 7 seconds all had their own releases through the label .
biafra was also found liable for failing to promote the band ' s catalog , instead using the profits to promote his label and his solo efforts to the band ' s detriment . because the case was brought by a partnership , the damages were limited to only two years , though biafra has owned alternative tentacles since the band broke up in 1986 .

in 1997 , an employee at alternative tentacles records discovered that dead kennedys had been underpaid $ 76 , 000 in royalties over a 10 - year period . biafra did not tell his fellow band mates about the underpayment but instead attempted to use the band ' s own royalties as a bargaining chip to get the others to sign to his label in perpetuity worldwide . later , a whistle blower at the label informed the band that these were actually royalties owed to them and when confronted , biafra refused to compensate the band without a court order . left with little choice , the band voted to cut decay music ' s ties with alternative tentacles and filed suit in october 1998 to have biafra recognize majority vote and for back royalties .
with this in mind , i received a press release for oakland’s newest alternative tentacles band the phantom limbs . they are indeed edgy and discordant and have no trouble taking chances . the press kit stated something about a cross between the screamers and gilbert and sullivan , so they even have pretension and it’s dark enough to please the goths , yet heavy enough to swing your whitey dreadlocks around . and the live show is supposed to be over - the - top , featuring a singer named “hopeless” doing his best to shock . i’m not ready to call this a return to form for alternative tentacles , but it is a step in the right direction . the label has far too important a past to not look towards the future .
voivod formed in 1983 , with a weird hybrid of thrash metal and punk ; a sound that made them stand out as a unique band from the beginning . still together after almost 30 years , having made more than a dozen albums and toured the world , voivod reach back to the beginning of their career to their 1984 demos for their first alternative tentacles release .

when i was a teen i’d listen to pretty much anything put out by alternative tentacles and one of these bands was alice donut . my favourite track of theirs is american lips , which is a sort of punky reimagining of something like rem’s end of the world as we know it or billy joel’s we didn’t start the fire . it pretty much sums up contemporary america in a nutshell .

a jury ruled in favor of decay music after a three - week trial in may 2000 , finding that
alternative tentacles records engaged in fraudulent conduct
and that
biafra breached his contractual and fiduciary obligations to plaintiff [ dead kennedys ] , even though the royalties were finally released to the band in january 2000 .
the jury also found biafra and alternative tentacles were
guilty of malice , oppression and fraud
in committing these acts . malice was defined for the case as
conduct which is intended to cause injury or despicable conduct which is carried with a willful and conscious disregard for the rights of others . despicable conduct is conduct which is so vile , base , contemptible , miserable , wretched , or loathsome that it would be looked down upon and despised by ordinary decent people .
undaunted by punk reactionaries , at continued to harvest esoteric and extreme crops of fresh artists . but from 1998 to 2001 , biafra spent most of the time battling his embittered former dead kennedys . a judge eventually ruled the band ' s music was no longer the property of alternative tentacles . eight years on , biafra urges people not to buy dk albums , repackaged on another label minus their deliciously offensive winston smith artwork .

biafra described losing the kennedys from alternative tentacles as
like getting some of your limbs blown off
.
i ' ve used my own money to keep the label afloat . now many of our label peers are down to one or two employees or pulling the plug altogether . that scares the living shit out of me in some ways , but i think we ' re better equipped because we already know how to survive hard times .
biafra took no time in counter - suing and the war of words continues as the three original members have launched an american tour with brandon cruz of southern california also - rans dr . know at the mic . alternative tentacles proved it could be as shifty with the money as any major label , the musicians of the dk’s proved they could be as exploitive as any classic rock band and punk rock proved it could be as asinine as bad company .

from uk anarcho - punk to lysergic texan country , biafra ' s madly eclectic taste in music is the common denominator behind every release and he ' s committed to ensuring his idiosyncratic tentacles continue to reach out for strange new things .

as a 7 - inch single in november 1981 , a month leading up to in god we trust , inc . and repositioning the song as an explicit anti - fascist anthem , the dead kennedys included the now - iconic crossed - out swastika armband packaged free with the single . the symbol would become the de facto logo for a variety prominent anti - racist activist movements throughout and beyond the & apos ; 80s .
the tentacles of eleven species of dendrochirote holothurians have been studied . the water vascular system , deep fibre system , ectoneural nerve ring and superficial fibre system are described and are similar to those of other holothurian tentacles . a conspicuous fuzzy coat covers the entire tentacular surface except for the tips of cilia . on the basis of its structure it is thought to be an attenuated glycocalyx . its function is discussed in relation to anti - fouling and surface adhesion . the two surface coats underlying the fuzzy coat are termed the cuticle . bacteria are found both within the surface coats and in the sub - cuticular space . primary fixatives lacking osmium give poor preservation of the surface coats . the adhesive papillae of the apices of the tentacles contain elements of support cells and two other cells named type - 1 and type - 2 papillar cells . the secretions of type - 1 papillar cells are dense - cored vesicles and may contain a proteinaceous adhesive . the vesicles fuse with the cuticle and release their products which are apparently disseminated along the fuzzy coat filaments . the secretions of type - 2 papillar cells may have a neurosecretory function . the different models of food capture by dendrochirote tentacles are discussed as are duo - glandular adhesive systems in relation to dendrochirote tentacles .
most of what’s known about the band sheer smegma , later rechristened “teddy and the fratgirls , ” could fit on a 4x6 index card . their scant biography can be assembled from various defunct punk blogs scattered throughout the internet , but it all boils down to this : they were an all - girl four - piece whose self - released debut 12 - inch got picked up by jello biafra’s alternative tentacles ( allegedly behind the back of the band’s bass player and chief songwriter ) and who , shortly thereafter , disbanded and were never heard from again .
the best known eldoniids come from various cambrian fossil lagerstätten : eldonia ludwigi from the burgess shale ( figure 1 ) and stellostomites eumorphus , rotadiscus grandis , and pararotadiscus guizhouensis from southwest china . these various taxa are distinguished on the basis of relatively minor morphological differences of the disc , tentacles and internal radiating lobe structures [ 5 ] . in all forms , the mouth and anus open ventrally and off - centre . there is a prominent pair of tentacles , while internally the gut consists of a pharynx , voluminous stomach and narrower intestine , all located in a distinct coiled sac . as with herpetogaster and phlogites [ 13 ] this has a clockwise orientation . whilst often interpreted as pelagic filter feeders [ 10 ] , the eldoniids have been reinterpreted [ 15 ] as benthic deposit feeders , with the tentacles raised above the sea - floor . an alternative view with the tentacles sweeping the sea - floor is corroborated by the types of depositional environment , patterns of preservation ( when recorded in the field most eldoniids are recovered disc - up [ 5 ] , [ 6 ] , fossil associations and functional morphology ( stiffness of the disc , and evident lack of gas - filled chambers to confer buoyancy ) . it is less certain , however , whether eldoniids were completely sedentary [ 15 ] or had at least a semi - vagrant lifestyle .
giger ' s work reminded biafra of the work of hieronymus bosch , representing the horrible truth of a contemporary society obsessed with greed . however , to a san fernando , california mother , whose 14 - year - old daughter gave her 11 - year - old brother a copy of frankenchrist , as a present , the poster was nothing more than pornography . after failing to get the attention of a television consumer reporter , she turned to the california state attorney ' s office , which passed the matter to local authorities . the los angeles district attorney , shortly before he was to run for reelection , agreed with the mother ' s contention , and on april 15 , 1986 , biafra ' s san francisco apartment and alternative tentacles office and warehouse were raided by vice officers , and a number of copies of the giger poster were confiscated . seven weeks later , biafra and four others were indicted , including the 65 - year - old owner of the factory that pressed the album . the defendants faced a $ 2 , 000 fine and a year in prison . although the american civil liberties stepped in to help and a legal defense fund was established , the cost of defending the charge placed alternative tentacles on the edge of financial ruin . to some observers , the fact that biafra and tentacles lacked the financial resources of other music companies made them a convenient target .
whilst we present evidence for a relationship between herpetogaster and the eldoniids , the simpler hypothesis that the former taxon could represent a preservational variant of eldonia can be firmly rejected . with two exceptions ( dissociated tentacles ) , all specimens seem to have been complete at the time of burial . overall , a range of minute preservational differences can be recognized from perfectly distinct body outlines with well preserved tentacles and clear segmental boundaries to poorly preserved specimens showing evidence of decay of the tentacles still being in contact with the trunk . there is no evidence of tearing of tissues which could indicate decay of a dorsal disc , this being one of the most conspicuous body elements in eldonia and other cambrian discoidal forms ( figure 1 ) . discoidal animals related to eldonia from the chengjiang and kaili biota [ 5 ] show clear evidence of decay of the tentacles as in herpetogaster but retain clearly the dorsal disc , presumably because this disc is more resilient to decay than the tentacles . herpetogaster occurs in 11 bed assemblages from the walcott quarry [ 17 ] and 20 bed assemblages from the raymond quarry [ 18 ] in addition to two other localities ( figure 2 ) . patterns of co - occurrence of the two species provide additional support for separating both taxa ; both species only co - occur in the walcott quarry in three bed assemblages .
alternative tentacles faced a turning point when it became an object of a criminal pornography charge of distributing harmful matter to a minor pressed by the city of los angeles , a case that threatened to drive the label out of business . the charge was related to the dead kennedys ' third album , frankenchrist , which included a poster by swedish artist h . r . giger , best known as the academy award - winning set designer for the film alien . the poster reproduced a surrealistic landscape by giger featuring ten sets of male and female genitalia engaged in sexual intercourse .
flash forward to 1998 . in one of the most dismaying legal chapters in the history of punk , biafra ' s three former bandmates severed their relationship from alternative tentacles and sued him , complaining that the label ( which biafra had acquired sole ownership of and had been operating since the band ' s demise ) had intentionally defrauded them of royalties over a 10 - year period and failed to promote their albums . after an ugly volley of accusations that went against every ideal of punk , the trio prevailed in court in 2000 and was awarded damages , a judgment which biafra appealed . the misery continues .
the comp also features previously unreleased songs by handshake grind artists inhabitants and diseased reason , plus older tunes from wake and total fucking destruction . ( there’s also an audio excerpt from an interview with jim morris of morrisound studios from misery index frontman jason netherton’s upcoming book on underground death metal history . ) the alternative tentacles side includes decidedly less metal new tunes by peace creep & ani kyd , plus an older song by ultra bidé . the motm material is all 2013 favorites — jucifer , terminus , mainland divide , sumokem , the sun through the telescope ( reviewed here ) , and a live rwake cut from their excellent concert film
blurring the lines between the disparate regional stylings of the burgeoning hardcore movement , the ep was conceived as an expression of musical solidarity with the breakneck hardcore sound characterized by punk & apos ; s emergent 7 - inch culture . armed with new drummer d . h . peligro , the dead kennedys offered an admiring nod to the sonic ferocity characterized by the likes of sst and dischord records , formed by black flag & apos ; s greg ginn and minor threat & apos ; s ian mackaye , respectively . by then biafra had established his own record label , alternative tentacles , which would put out in god we trust , inc .
the body of herpetogaster consists of a head with tentacles , trunk , and stolon ( figures 3 , 4 ) . its bilateral symmetry is most clearly defined by the paired tentacles ( figure 3d ) and lateral lobes along the head ( figure 3a , c , d ) , whilst the more developed banding , on one side of the trunk is tentatively regarded as dorsal . the re - curved trunk has a terminal anus ( figure 3e ) , and a stolon arises from the ventral mid - trunk , sometimes terminating in an attachment disc ( figure 3f–h ) . viewed dorsally the trunk invariably inclines clock - wise combined with a modest helical translation ( figure 3a , c , d , h ) . the body is not mineralized and was evidently encased in a fairly tough but flexible integument . including tentacles , specimens are typically 3–4 cm in length ( allowing for curvature , see figure s1 ) .
suddenly a label and band that had talked so much of integrity and decried capitalist greed were involved in a very public lawsuit and media war of words . each side claimed they were interested in preserving the legacy of the band and its music but the bitter public comments made by everyone involved only tarnished them further . biafra claimed the lawsuit only came about because he wouldn’t approve the use of a dk’s song in a jeans ad while the other three alleged back they had never been adequately paid and their music was entirely controlled by biafra and alternative tentacles , and was only used as a vehicle to promote the label and biafra’s solo projects and speaking engagements .
the tentacles ( figure 3a , e ) emerge from the corners of the head ( figure 3a–f , h ) , and were evidently softer than the rest of the body . on either side they appear to arise as a pair , although it is possible that each inserts via a single stalk which then immediately bifurcates ( figure 3b , c ) . the tentacles tend to vary in length within and between pairs ( figure 3a ) . in some cases they are clearly asymmetrical , but other specimens have tentacles of roughly similar sizes ( figure 3d , h ) . length variations are probably controlled in part by both angle of burial and decay ( figure 3a ) , but like the stolon , the tentacles were probably extensible . branches usually face inwards , and their overall arrangement is indicative of a monopodial growth ( figure 3a–d ) . at least five orders of branching are recognized , with branch diameter decreasing distally ( figure 3a , c ) . the medial zone typically houses a narrow dark strand ( figure 3b ) , connecting to a darker zone inside the head ( figure 3b ) . the style of preservation ( darker and more reflective like the gut ) and topology suggest this structure is probably internal and might represent either a hydrostatic canal and / or vascular system ; it is less likely to represent an external feeding groove .
which means that it’s now easier ( maybe even imperative ) to eschew the ‘alternative rock’ prism that dumbs down what faith no more brought—and will hopefully bring again—to the table . so , when sol invictus is out next month , you can expect the usual media voices to reduce faith no more’s legacy to thumbnail summaries that mention the ' 90s zeitgeist . you don’t have to believe them .
alternative tentacles records began in the late ’70s , launched by singer jello biafra of the dead kennedys , to release recordings from the burgeoning punk rock scene . it quickly grew into a pioneering independent music label and throughout the ’80s its bands were among the most recognizable and influential . the dead kennedys grew during this time as well and can lay claim to being one of the largest of the first wave of west coast punk rock bands , and to many who grew up in this era , a first introduction to punk rock . the dk’s actually played their instruments well and wrote catchy songs featuring biafra’s left wing lyrics and critique of reagan - era america . whether you loved them or hated them they were an undeniable force in underground music .

, its ‘alternative’ cousin . several bands , alas , fit both platforms . and if you followed magazines like rip , circus , or metal maniacs in the late ' 80s / early ' 90s , you read about deep purple , motley crue , queensryche , nuclear assault , prong , godflesh , and napalm death all under one gloriously messy roof . here , it must be noted that metal fans , already accustomed to the notion that underground music could sell millions , were essentially inoculated from the narrative that nirvana changed the paradigm for everyone . for metalheads , metallica—and voivod , soundgarden , and faith no more , for that matter—had radically altered the parameters of popular music years before the fabled alternative revolution .
phlogites longus luo & hu 1999 [ 11 ] ; for synonymy list see hou et al . [ 4 ] , conicula striata luo & hu 1999 [ 11 ] . note some authors [ e . g . ] , [ 4 , 13 ] have also included cheungkongella as a junior synonym of phlogites rather than a distinct taxon related to the tunicates [ 16 ] . no part of this paper depends on the correctness of either interpretation , and it seems more prudent to leave both taxa separate at this time . the only known specimen of cheungkongella is similar to phlogites only in its lower part . the upper part shows a single distinct oral siphon with short simple tentacles which do not compare well with the five large branching tentacles present in phlogites .
in court , the prosecutor , michael guarino , called the poster “pornography” and compared giger to richard ramirez , the serial killer . “giger sees people the way ramirez sees people , ” he said . “they are objects to hurt . they are not human . ” the defense argued that “landscape xx , ” which had hung in vienna’s museum of modern art and the bronx museum , was ugliness as social commentary , not obscenity . in the end , their argument carried the day . the jury deadlocked 7 - 5 in favor of acquittal , and the judge declared a mistrial . a few of the younger jurors asked biafra to autograph the poster . ( it was no longer included in the record after the trial , though it was available long afterward by mail order from alternative tentacles—with proof of age . ) .
thankfully , neither of those things turned out to be true—at least not for long . faith no more went on to record three adventurous , musically rich albums before breaking up , while patton immediately proved himself as a creative force to be reckoned with by 1992’s angel dust . after faith no more , he pursued a career of such staggering versatility that it would take this entire column to scratch its surface . hacke , for example , is one among the scores of cutting - edge artists to release work on ipecac , the label patton co - founded with former alternative tentacles manager greg werckman . patton’s ravenous appetite for exploration makes you wonder whether he’s been trying to compensate for his flat , nasal rapping on
epic
ever since . if so , then that song truly is a gift that keeps on giving .
within two years , voivod ' s rising career stock had plummeted while the other two bands found themselves in the presumably uncomfortable position of twisting heavy rock into new shapes while simultaneously achieving mass recognition . soundgarden and faith no more ' s success would forever brand them as faces of grunge and alternative rock , respectively . another two years later , then - tool bassist paul d ' amour sassed a lollapalooza crowd by asking
you know what i think alternative music is ? jocks with punk rock haircuts .
d’amour had a point : though the media was re - writing the storyline as it unfolded , bands like faith no more , soundgarden , primus , helmet , the rollins band , and dozens more were initially marketed as quasi - metal acts . this was only possible in a climate where record labels , journalists , and college radio djs understood that the metal audience could embrace new , albeit arty variations on the form .

leatherface were one of the few punk bands to emerge during my youth that remain firm favorites . the rough - hewn tynesiders served up frankie stubbs’s gravelly vocals , ferociously played gordon smith guitars , and distorted marshall amps yet the band somehow managed at times to sound strikingly beautiful . while not a massive commercial success , the album mush , from which springtime is taken , managed to partially cross over into the mainstream , its fuzzy melodies appealing to fans of 90s alternative rock and a huge influence on much bigger bands and appeared on various best of… lists in the music press .
handshake inc . main man david hall , whom you may remember from his colorful coverage of the housecore horror film fest , asked that i include the following message with the comp . it includes release info for all of the upcoming handshake and mutants releases as well . as the year comes to a close it’s easy to get lost in year - end list mania and what’s - coming - next hysteria . the fact of the matter is , in my opinion anyway , the underground scene – music , art , film , publishing – has never been stronger , and so , in some corny way , we – fans of good shit – are all winners this 2013 . every breath is a victory , right ? well whatever . here , for all to enjoy – or ignore – is a compilation of songs from various releases by the labels handshake , inc . , mutants of the monster and alternative tentacles . 7 degrees records is also represented here , as two of handshake’s north american releases ( wake’s false and dephosporus’s ravenous solemnity ) are 7degrees babies , and released in europe by those fine people .
whether accessing the region through france or spain , the ever - increasing tentacles of budget air travel allow the visitor direct flights , principally through biarritz or bilbao , from london and a few regional uk airports . given that new flights regularly appear or are removed , it’s a good idea to check the airport websites ( as well as the airline websites listed below ) or a site such as urltoken in case an airport near you has suddenly acquired a connection to the region . note that the flight schedules of budget airlines can be reduced in winter .
gioiosa ionica , in the calabria region , is one of the poorest provinces in italy and calabria is one of the poorest regions in europe . the economy is largely run by ‘ndrangheta , the local branch of mafia . since 1996 , vincenzo has been determined to change the inevitability of a mafia presence in his land by creating a parallel positive economy that offers the local population a third alternative between unemployment and collaborating with organized crime . consorzio goel is a consortium of 15 social enterprises and 28 businesses which came together to create a ‘democratic holding for change’ under vincenzo’s leadership , with the ultimate goal of stifling the ndrangheta’s hold on the economy
an elongate structure , termed here the stolon , extends from approximately the ninth trunk segment . it evidently arises from the ventral mid - line ( figure 3a , c , e , f , h ) , and is highly variable in length . within its length a central dark zone may represent a coelomic cavity ( figure 3i ) . the termination of the stolon is generally simple , but occasionally bears a dark reflective film with some relief ( figure 3f , g ) . a mode of life as an epibenthic suspension feeder , occupying the intermediate feeding tier ( figure 4 ) , is indicated by the elongate and dendritic tentacles and the contractile and flexible stolon , and in some cases a defined holdfast . there is no evidence of mouth parts and gut content that would indicate predation on macroscopic animals . evidence for a hydrostatic skeleton , presumably coelomic , is inferred from structures in the tentacles and stolon , and most likely a similar cavity extended along the trunk . on occasion the animal may have been attached directly to the epibenthic sponge vauxia , with which it is commonly associated . a gregarious lifestyle is indicated by clusters of specimens ( up to 8 on the same slab , see figure s2 ) .
the somewhat older phlogites [ 4 ] , [ 11 ] , [ 13 ] , [ 14 ] , [ 19 ] is similar to herpetogaster , but shows a number of differences that may reflect an adaptation to a completely sessile mode of life ( figure 5 , see camera - lucida drawings , figure s3 ) . thus , the stolon is more massive , effectively continuous with the body , and shows an ornamentation of longitudinal strands and fine transverse folds [ 4 ] . it appears to be invariably attached to a hard substrate , such as trilobite debris [ 4 ] ( figure 5a ) or vacated tubes [ 19 ] . the body is more calyx - like , and the posterior region is reduced to a small lobate extension with the anus opening laterally [ 4 ] , [ 14 ] ( figure 5a , c ) . the arrangement of the gut reflects the configuration of the body , with the oesophagus joining a large quadrate stomach and thence in a clockwise direction leads to a recurved , narrow intestine , sub - equal in length [ 4 ] ( figure 5a ) . the anterior of the body bears prominent lobes [ 4 ] , each semi - circular in shape with a smooth margin , which are located between the tentacle bases ( figure 5b ) . the tentacles appear to have had at least four ( more likely five ) separate insertions on to the rim of the calyx . the tentacles themselves are massive , and show an apparently dichotomous branching with simpler terminations ( figure 5b ) . similar to herpetogaster , internal strands , possibly blood vessels and / or coelomic cavities , extend from the tentacles into the anterior body . a characteristic feature of phlogites is two to three ovate structures with some relief within the anterior part of the calyx . they are evidently an integral part of the body , and their original function is speculative ; possibly they were reproductive tissue ( figure 5a ) .

molecular and morphological evidence unite the hemichordates and echinoderms as the ambulacraria , but their earliest history remains almost entirely conjectural . this is on account of the morphological disparity of the ambulacrarians and a paucity of obvious stem - groups . we describe here a new taxon herpetogaster collinsi gen . et sp . nov . from the burgess shale ( middle cambrian ) lagerstätte . this soft - bodied vermiform animal has a pair of elongate dendritic oral tentacles , a flexible stolon with an attachment disc , and a re - curved trunk with at least 13 segments that is directed dextrally . a differentiated but un - looped gut is enclosed in a sac suspended by mesenteries . it consists of a short pharynx , a conspicuous lenticular stomach , followed by a narrow intestine sub - equal in length . this new taxon , together with the lower cambrian phlogites and more intriguingly the hitherto enigmatic discoidal eldoniids ( cambrian - devonian ) , form a distinctive clade ( herein the cambroernids ) . although one hypothesis of their relationships would look to the lophotrochozoans ( specifically the entoprocts ) , we suggest that the evidence is more consistent with their being primitive deuterostomes , with specific comparisons being made to the pterobranch hemichordates and pre - radial echinoderms . on this basis some of the earliest ambulacrarians are interpreted as soft - bodied animals with a muscular stalk , and possessing prominent tentacles .
a possible relationship between phlogites and pterobranchs has been very briefly mentioned elsewhere [ 37 ] , but contrary to this speculation it is clear that the conspicuous anterior lobes of phlogites cannot be readily equated with the single pre - oral lobe of the pterobranchs . comparison between any cambroernid and the hemichordates are further complicated because of the obvious disparity between the latter ' s division into the colonial pterobranchs and vermiform enteropneusts . thus , cambroernids and hemichordates potentially share a ventral stalk ( in enteropneusts ) and paired feeding tentacles ( in pterobranchs ) . however , employing these two characters alone would make a hemichordate affinity difficult to support . first , this is because the stalk refers to the ventral post - anal extension of the metacoels in enteropneusts ( the “adhesive post - anal tail” ) . it is only present during early development in saccoglossus and spengelia , and is not found in any other adult forms [ 38 ] . a similar structure ( the stolon in rhabdopleura and stalk in cephalodiscus ) is probably homologous in pterobranchs [ 38 ] . as already noted , and in the context of transformations of potential significance , is the fact that the eldoniids do not possess a stalk and this is assumed to have been lost . with respect to the tentacles , if they are indeed homologous , this would imply cambroernids had paired body cavities similar to the left and right mesocoels of extant hemichordates . it is also worth noting that similarly symmetrical coeloms are inferred to have been present in the pre - radial echinoderms ( the left and right hydrocoels ) , suggesting more primitive ambulacrarians in the form of the last common ancestor of echinoderms plus hemichordates would have also possessed such structures ( see discussion below ) .
accepting our arguments for significant homologies that unite herpetogaster + phlogites and the eldoniids ( as noted above collectively identified as the cambroernids ) . arguably , of course , tentacle morphology and gut anatomy might have more to do with a particular feeding strategy than shared ancestry and could then be interpreted to be convergent . after all , the “lophophorata” have been united by morphological characters such as possession of tentacles but as a result of recent molecular phylogenies are now thought to represent a polyphyletic group ( see discussion below ) . the broadly similar age of herpetogaster + phlogites and the eldoniids does , however , go some way to support our argument for this being a monophyletic association . in addition , it is worth emphasizing that no other cambrian or post - cambrian fossils display a similar association of characters . nevertheless in the absence of additional independent data to test our hypothesis , we consider the monophyly of the cambroernids to be a working hypothesis .
this time , the root of biafra ' s frustration - - aside from the threat of global terrorism , the bush administration ' s response to the threat of global terrorism , and , uh , yuppies in cadillacs - - is personal : the melvins approached him about a possible collaboration after witnessing the supposed dead kennedys
reunion ,
which - - after a series of inter - band legal disputes - - occurred without biafra at the helm . the melvins are ideal musical foils to biafra ' s maniacal persona , and show an admirable willingness to subdue and camouflage their normally obtrusive sound . the band members ' great admiration and respect for biafra ' s work are evident in the album ' s malleable arrangements , which strike a perfect balance between the melvins ' grimy post - alternative metal and classic kennedys - style california punk . tracklisting : 1 . plethysmograph 2 . mcgruff the crime dog 3 . yuppie cadillac 4 . islamic bomb 5 . the lighter side of global terrorism 6 . caped crusader 7 . enchanted thoughtfist 8 . dawn of the locusts
the mouth is assumed to have been located on the anterior margin and between the tentacles . a central darker area , which in dorso - ventral view occupies much of the head , is interpreted as a pharynx ( figure 3a–f , h ) , flanked anteriorly by the probable canals / blood vessels . posterior to the pharynx , the alimentary canal is composed of two distinct parts of sub - equal lengths ; a conspicuous lenticular stomach and a straight , un - looped intestine . in dorso - ventral view the stomach occupies much of the trunk ( figure 3a , c–e , h ) , whereas viewed laterally it is narrower ( figure 3f ) , suggesting it was compressed in cross - section . the intestine is usually a faintly preserved canal which starts with a slight constriction near the stomach ( figure 3a , c , e ) . a darker zone on either side of the intestine may represent an enclosing membrane , which also is seen to enclose the stomach ( figure 3e ) . darker material at the rear end of the trunk ( figure 3a , c ) , and sometimes extending to the adjacent sediment , possibly represents gut contents seeping from the anus .
it is important to recall that not only is the concept of phyla essentialist but it serves to place problematic taxa in a phylogenetic limbo , rendering them effectively immune to further evolutionary analysis . an alternative strategy is to assign a supposedly enigmatic taxa to one or other extant group , that is somewhere within a given crown - group . this , however , is often a procrustean process . this is because it generally relies on comparisons between various structures in the fossil material ( the preservation of which may be less than perfect ) and extant material , a procedure that may be based on pre - suppositions that are not necessarily spelt out unequivocally . so too by placing these enigmatic cambrian taxa in crown - groups , it can presuppose a deeper origin of phyla than appears to be consistent with the fossil record . a third way is to assign these fossils to various stem - groups of either a major phylum ( e . g . , an echinoderm ) or some more embracive super - clade ( e . g . , the ambulacrarians ) . this procedure has , however , its own difficulties . this is because of the need to homologize morphologically disparate structures , a procedure which is effectively the converse of attempting to accommodate these taxa in crown - groups . the advantage of this approach is that it has the potential to explain how key characters evolved in the emerging bodyplans within a functional and ecological context . these characters can then be placed in a series of paraphyletic stem - groups [ 1 ] .
from the beginning of this ordeal , neither klaus , d . h . nor myself wanted to go to court to settle something that should have been handles reasonably between us ,
east bay ray told the magazine .
this ruling clearly says that dead kennedys and decay music are a full partnership . biafra , regrettably , is left as the only one who thinks otherwise .
we wanted biafra to recognize our vote in how we wanted our music released ,
flouride said .
no one seemed to understand that by dead kennedys and decay music controlling our own catalog , jello still gets 100 % of his record royalties and his music publishing , which is exactly what he is entitled to . we just wanted an equal say in all matters that pertained to the band .
