and, unlike many Metal bands, Helmet aren't posurs.  What I mean
more specificly is that there is no long, immaculate hair, or
silly costumes.  They play music for music's sake.
also check out: Tar and Surgery.  both are excellent bands in
the similar vein.

more acoustic numbers.  if you can get your hands on a copy of 
"the grunge years" compilation from sub-pop, "ugly sunday" is 
a pretty good representation of the album as a whole.  the catalog
description of the lp summarizes in three words "chix luv it."

great (non-acoustic) version of a leadbelly tune.  mark calls it 
"where did you sleep last night", but i have a version by the cows
simply entitled "my girl."  i have no idea which one (if either)
is the original title.

worth the money whether or not you're a big screaming trees fan.
its definitely not just a screaming trees album in disguise.

Well, most people hadn't even heard of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden until
half way through last year, so it may just be the 'next big thing'
(BTW, we are talking top 40, mainstream type people)  Also Perry's dream
is to eventually REALLY diversify and get more and more obscure bands playing.
Also to have more variety in the type of acts.  (he once mentioned a 
high school cheerleading squad).   But as long as you ask, I can't help but
to post a wish list:  Arrested Develpoment, Disposable Heroes of Hypocracy, 
Primus, Teenage Fanclub...

Is this from a current issue?  If so, RS is really on top of things :^)

The breakup actually occurred several months ago!!  I happen to know their
drummer and he had mentioned this to me some time ago.  The band is based in
Northern New Jersey but a couple members decided it was time to head out west
in search of greatness.  The entire band didn't agree and, hence, they are no

I wandered through the well-familiar walls of the record store, searching
aimlessly for anything interesting. Hardly any shipments since I checked
last week, which would have depressed me but for the fact that I'm doing
nothing but mail-order from now on. A full half-hour spent pawing through
lps, cds, and 7"s - with nothing to show for it except a Drive Like Jehu
single. Then, as I head out the door I see emblazoned on a chalkboard...

                         JULY - PAVEMENT 7"

My brain scrambles futilely for any information crammed in its many dark
corners, with no success. "A new Pavement single? But...but...who is
releasing it? I've heard of no such thing..." I think aloud. All the 
pages of listings of new releases flash through my head, but nothing,
nothing. But, despite my failure, my heart grew gladdened at the thought
of one of Sassy's Cute Bands Of The Month releasing a new piece of wax...

Unless, of course, they're just lying to me...

The 'dirty' version has graphics. The 'non-dirty' version has nada.

But still, I maintain - buy the vinyl!!!

Also of note - saw the "very limited edition numbered orange-colored

Brace yourselves....part of this list is not alternative. 
.




















10. Beatles, _Abbey Road_. I think it is a slightly better album 
than _Sgt. Pepper_. 
9. Eagles, _Hotel California_. Ain't alternative, but still one of my 
personal faves. Everytime I think of how Colorado is being levelled to 
make way for ski resorts and mountain bike trails, I listen to "The 
Last Resort".
8. Dave Brubeck Quintet, _Take Five_. One of the greatest jazz albums 
of all time. Enough said.
7. U2, _War_. Though _Unforgettable Fire_ is silkier (and boring) and 
_Joshua Tree_ is straight forward (and slighty poppy) I like _War_
better. 
6. _The Complete Robert Johnson Recordings_. "You can squeeze my lemon 
till the juice/till the juice runs down my leg, ya know?"
5. Roxy Music, _Avalon_. Beautiful and dark at the same time.
4. Pearl Jam, _Ten_. I've worn out my copy of it.
3. They Might Be Giants, _Lincoln_ or _They Might Be Giants_. One or 
the other; I can't decide which.
2. Paul Simon, _Graceland_. I'm down two copies of this. 
1. R.E.M., All the albums on one very big disc. Hey, we can dream. 
can't we?

Note on R.E.M.: the new album is scheduled for a Sept. 29 release.

Dischord Records (Fugazi's label):

	Dischord Records
	3819 Beecher St. NW
	Washington, D.C. 20007

The record number is (for CD): DIS60cd.

In the US, all of Fugazi's albums are $10(US) or LESS postage paid.

I hope that this helps you out.

They played at the WHFS festival a couple of weeks ago (near DC) and said they
would have a new album coming out Sept. 1st.  I think they did one or two songs

Fugazi have UK distribution through Southern Records Distribution in London, and
so albums should be available in Chain with no Name stores, but if not you could
try giving them a ring. I've found them very obliging in the past. They may have
Sugar too, I can't remember.

	The title Achtung baby actually comes from the favourite saying
