Hi,

   I'm driving back from South Dakota Saturday morning to Rhode Island
for the christmas break.  Does anyone happen to know what the forecast
is for Rhody?  It would be nice if I could figure out a decent route.

Thanks for your help.

	I genuinely thought all car drivers were very polite !! Try
crossing the street in Glasgow especially when confronted by a bus or

Some of you may be excited to learn that Lupo's is coming back to downtown
Prov.  I read it in the ProJo this weekend.  It's supposed to set up house in
the old Peerless building.  The paper didn't say exactly when just sometime
in the spring (I think).  This is good news for those of us who have fond
memories of Lupo's.  My husband and I spent a lot of time when we were dating
and as newlywed's partying at Lupo's and I can't wait to go back (I only need
to find a sitter now).  I knew Rick (Lupo) wouldn't let us down.

Unfortunately, we are no longer as cool on this sort of thing as we have
been in the past. For a number of security reasons, only students, staff
and faculty with currently valid Brown ID's are now allowed into the

Again, Anomaly and IDS both have rlogin/ftp/etc. facilities, and you can

Well, Brown last X-Mass were wholey and entirely unhelpful to me.  They
took a firm position in not allowing a non-student/staffer to have an
account even with limitted access.  I have found an alternative, via
a local BBS system, and have asked the sysop if it is OK to post that
info.  If it is, I will let everyone know how they can get full (legal)
internet access from RI for a single month.  Relatively cheaply also.

I recorded this on a friend's computer using the Sound Blaster card.  We
reversed it, played it in a Walkman w/ bad batteries (to slow it down), 
and played it in a dubber (to speed it up).  The best we came up with was
"Welcome back!", which is what it sounds like when played forwards.  This
seemed appropriate, and we gave up after that.  If anyone knows the actual
"translation" of the lyric, please post it.

	Actually, I think it'd be easier to ask which bands DON'T play evil!
I'm pretty much convinced that Glen Benton is truly deranged and a Satanist
through and through.  King Diamond?  Maybe, but he keeps saying how Satanism
to him is more Selfism, but then, how many bands have proclaimed themselves
as being Satanic (or simply implied they were by their lyrics) only to move
away from Satan worshipping lyrics and STILL speak out on behalf of Satanism?
King Diamond's about the only one.  If he WEREN'T really a Satanist, not only
his lyrics would have moved away from Satan, but also his spoken work in
interviews.  Food for thought.

Nice day for dying, isn't it?

Wait. You're confusing me here. To me, the message is part of the music.
When I say that I would buy Swaggart's record, part of the condition that
makes it "best thrash" is that it has to be listenable. If he was singing
extracts from his sermons, that would not be listenable. If he sang about
something I could stand, and he was otherwise preaching, and it really
*was* the best album ever, yes I would buy it.

I believe in capitalism, and I believe that a person's exploits in one
area don't necessarily bear on another area of their lives. If someone
coumes out with a good product, sure I'll support it. I buy plenty of
things knowing that I'm probably supporting something I don't agree with
(for starters, the maker probably belongs to a political party and a
religion I don't like).

The truth is, I doubt Swaggart could come up with a good record. If he
did, I'd have to buy it out of sheer amazement.

One minor clarification here:  Lovecraft didn't write the Avon _Necronomicon_
(or any of the versions out for that matter). He just wrote about The Book in
his (excellent) stories, thus inspiring the later hoaxers. And yes, that book 
is hilarious.

I have not, though during Xmas break, I will ask the dude i know who
told me about the Deicide concert he saw, that started this whole disscusion
about Deicide and Satanic Bands.  From what i know about Deicide, and they
are a pretty evil band, it is probably true.  Any band that guy that would
ask the Christians to come forward to be destroyed and then start to speak
in tongues would be so evil as to brand an inverterd cross into his forehead.
         
By the way, does anyone know about any good death metal concerts in the Tampa
area around Xmas and the New Year??  I know a band named Brutaliy is playing.
I have never heard their stuff, or ever heard of them, for that matter.
Has anyone heard their stuff?  If so, could you please E-mail me a     
description.  Thanks!  Have a Morbid Xmas!

I think that bit is "Welcome back!", though heavily distorted or
something like that (I think it's played forwards though).

The guitars sound somewhat similar to the guitar in the intro to
"Raining Blood."  (ie high pitched "squeeling" with other noise in the
foreground, such as screaming or rain).  I don't think they're random
though.  (Slayer's solos tend to sound kinda random at times, though ;)
