FROM THE DESK OF HAMBURGER EYES

Hello friends and lovers,

We are pleased to announce the SECOND EDITION of one of our best publications. This one is called "COLLEGE" with photography by Michael Jang. As the title suggests, it's photos from his college days from when he went to Cal Arts. It's the 70's. And it is wild. Cameos from his classmates, room mates, teachers, party events, and shows include Pee Wee Herman, Kramer, David Hasslehof, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Lee Friedlander, John Baldessari, and more.

The first edition had sold out in 2 days and there seemed to be some of huffing and puffing from the sleepy ones. Ye ask and ye shall receive. Welcome yourself to the second edition feast, which is twice the size of the first. And may ye behold a joyous festivity.

DANCE TO THE DZIERZYNSKI BITZ

2013-05-15T11:50:00.000-05:00

From the Desk of PopSkoole PR

Dzierzynski Bitz (as Dzerzhinsky Bitz) is an orchestra of sorts. They can expand their numbers and their sound with musical connections from across the European continent. The Russian band currently calls Ukraine their home. The name, Dzierzynski Bitz, takes a playful stab at a Soviet icon who was sometimes known as Bloody Felix. You can use your imagination to figure out how Old Bloody earned his nickname. Bitz is simply Beat in English, but they're more Bronski Beat than English Beat and more Beatniks than Beatles. They posses a sound that is itself a playful take on Soviet era music. They mix it with new wave. They give it a post-punk attitude and invite the London Swing to engage in a romance with preWar Poland at their Soviet Bloc Party where cocktail jazz is being served in chilled glasses by very chill players. They can whip up a stir with their music that will get your heart fluttering while your feet begin to shuffle.

Dzerzhinsky Bitz first came together in 2007, although the current line-up has been together for just over 9 months. The players are Wojciech Dzierzynski (no relation?) who provides the vocals as well as percussion; Aleksei Rodzinski plays guitar with Max Paradis on keys; Wladislaw Kazimovicz plays the trumpet; Todor Stoiczkow the bass and Krzysztof Grehuta, drums. This core group enlisted the help of fifteen additional musicians to finish their debut album. I II III was released in 2012. The recording was begun in Russia, finished in Ukraine and mixed in London by engineer Joe Hirst (dEUS, Ian Brown, Yasmin). The result is an album possessing international cachet and a global flare. With contributions from their musical friends who supplied the tunes with everything from trumpets and tubas to dulcimers and clarinets, the album has a sweeping sound and a broad appeal to fans of electronic music, pop, rock, even modern jazz. The album cover, made in Poland, adds further to the aura of a journey being embarked upon. It looks, feels and sounds like something that could have been conceived of on the Autobahn while dreaming of the Trans-European Express. It invites you to take a ride and you should.

Looking to the romance of days past is fine for creating atmosphere, but Dzierzynski Bitz are forward thinking always. They have their eyes on the road ahead. They want to bring the beat to the rest of Europe, beyond east and west. North and south as well. They've been as far as Poland but surely they can broaden their horizons further. The English-speaking world doesn't need to shy away from lyrics sung in another language. The international language of music speaks to you first, and besides, you know what these songs are about. You will if you listen.

NEWS: Drag City to Release Andy Kaufman Comedy Album

2013-05-14T13:16:00.000-05:00

From the Desk of Pitch Perfect PR

DRAG CITY TO RELEASE ANDY KAUFMAN COMEDY RECORD, ANDY AND HIS GRANDMOTHER, OUT JULY 16TH!

Andy Kaufman changed the worlds of comedy and performance in the 1970s, showing fans and friends alike a determination to follow put-ons into territory no one had ever even considered "comic" before. His fervor was so intense that when he passed away suddenly in 1984, it seemed as if the ultimate disappearing act had been staged; one that some people believe is still ongoing, with the reveal soon to come.

Among the many things that Andy achieved in his lifetime (and in the years following), a phonograph album release, the staple of stand-up comedians in his time, never happened - until now. Andy and His Grandmother is material never heard before, a skimming from 82 hours of micro-cassette tapes that Andy recorded during 1977-79. Andy regarded the micro-tape recorder as a fantastic new way of capturing his hoaxing, and carried it with him everywhere, for use at any given moment. Real life was the ultimate frontier for him, and these tapes demonstrate the heart of Andy's comedy. With gusto, he involves those closest to him, as well as total strangers, in put-ons, falsehoods and other provocations, pushing the limit on logic and emotional investment in everyday situations from the trivial to the deeply personal until any suspension of disbelief is out of the question for all involved, and everyone becomes fully immersed in whatever scenario Andy is suggesting as the new reality.

With so much material on hand, Drag City turned to a writer, producer and comedian whose resume indicated to us that he was a true child of Kaufman's twisted talent. Since the late 90s, Vernon Chatman's work has been experienced by television viewers and aficionados of South Park, Wonder Showzen, Xavier: Renegade Angel, The Heart She Holler, and Doggie Fizzle Televizzle, as well as fans of the Drag City DVD release Final Flesh. Vernon dug deeply into the tapes, working with editor Rodney Ascher (director of the notorious, controversial, and even acclaimed Room 237 documentary) to come up with a concept for a single LP that would include several dozen excerpts. Along the way, Vernon produced several tracks, adding effects to pieces that were clearly unfinished (in particular, "Sleep Comedy") and drafting SNL's Bill Hader to provide narration for the journey. The finished album, with liner notes from Vernon and Kaufman cohort Bob Zmuda is a work of comedy for our times - one that was performed over thirty years ago. Andy And His Grandmother is out July 16th on Drag City.

NEW Adam Gnade Cassette Released!

2013-05-14T12:51:00.000-05:00

NEWS FROM adamgnade.com:

Out now!

Adam Gnade & The Hot Earth All-Stars, AMERICANS (Blessing Force) deluxe cassette/download box-set

International orders listen/order here at Blessing Force

US orders here at Pioneers Press.

The result of an exhaustive week-long recording/writing binge, the songs on the Blessing Force-released AMERICANS range from ecstatic "talking-song" anthems carried along with soaring lap-steel and gospel backing vocals to hush-talked, noise-damaged, Gowns-ian goth-country bummers.

It's a lot crammed into six songs; a full deconstructed Americana revue based around three separate storylines (a companion to Gnade's forthcoming novel, Caveworld), complete with allusions to stripmalls, juggalos, Pretzel Time, the stars of NASCAR, humid nights, the Little Bighorn, children, the 2012 election, loan sharks, debt, watertowers, Indian reservations, big American cars, etc.

If Gnade's earlier solo folk recordings pioneered a kind of spoken trailerpark blues, the AMERICANS EP feels more like the stage-five tornado that destroys the whole trailerpark and gives way to new life amidst the ruins. Let's hear it for The New...

1. Hello America
2. The Whole Lonesome Thing
3. The Ballad of Tom Bluefeather
4. You Got Mean
5. Supper’s Waiting On The Table
6. This Is The End OF Something (But Its Not The End Of You)

Cassette Review: Der Todesking, Real Bomb

2013-05-13T17:11:00.000-05:00

DER TODESKING
Real Bomb Cassette [XO Tapes]

Named for the bleak as fuck German death flick in which a violent suicide or murder is depicted for each day of the ever-lovin' week, Der Todesking (Death King), let you know right up front just what kind of creeped out aesthetic they’re into. It’s horror-core punk rock with a real bummer edge. The Real Bomb cassette is nine songs of dirty grit, grime, knives, fire and flame. With screaming, growling vocals and nasty unpolished noise, D.T. get right up in your face with it. There's a nod to seminal SoCal hardcore band Black Flag in “Playing with Knives” which has its own take on “Six Pack”:

“I’ve got a knife with nothing to do/I’ve got a knife and I don’t need you.”

And “Arson” gives similar props to The Descendents' own “Suburban Home” and their desire to (not) be stereotyped and classified, thank you very much. Scary like punk rock usta was and should be again—J. Germ [Der Todesking]

REGLAR WIGLAR 2OTH ANNIVERSARY 1993-2013

2013-05-09T15:00:00.000-05:00

My roommate of many a year, Jim Fath, put out this compilation of local Chicago bands in 1993. It featured a lot of great underground Chicago bands. Some of these bands we knew and hung out with and some we knew but didn't hang out with and some we didn't know and didn't want to hang out with (and vice versa). It's a good document of that year in music. Some of the people in these bands you may have heard of, like AZITA, Fred Armisen, Wayne and Damon from The Eternals, Weasel Walter, Bobby Conn, etc. Anyway, this is my biased review of that record—not so much a review as a friggin' commercial for the thing, sorta like this introduction. Anyway:

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Pressure Cooker (Furball Records)
A new record label can be likened to a spring seedling, struggling to push up through the unyielding soil. It is a hardship, and at times it may seem like a mission impossible, but the potential is great as is the reward. The potential to break through the surface and grow into something that is strong and beautiful is the inspiration and soon the seedling is seed no more as it bursts through the earth and into the warm sunlight, it is a sapling now, a sapling that can later give life of its own, reproduce, multiply like so many bunny rabbits in a small three by four foot chicken wire cage. But the competition may be great and the elements not to readily compromising. There may be a large oak tree looming overhead ready to suck up your sunlight, its thick roots fully prepared to slurp up your water supply and gobble up all nutrients from the soil. Only the strong survive and the weak perish under them unless they can somehow cut a deal with the strong and if you aren't a good bullshitter you can get buried by some big ugly oak tree that produces nothing but acorns and who the hell eats acorns except squirrels, and squirrels are really mean. Really nasty reviews don't help either.

Furball Records is one such sapling that has recently put out a 12 song compilation of underground Chicago talent. The CDs got a bunch of band's like Trenchmouth, Mama Tick, Wickerman, God Box, Hog Lady, Loud Lucy, Uptighty, Scissor Girls, Conduscent, Stumbleblock, Flying Luttenbockers, bands like that, in fact that's all the bands. Cake from Flipside called the compilation "incredible," "great stuff." Option noted that it "didn't contain any embarrassments." Alternative Press dissed it though, but they did so in a clever and witty way by completely missing the point of the liner notes. New City said the cover art is "tremendous", the best we've ever seen on any local compilation."

But what do they all know? Listen to your pal. Muggsy, he knows. This is a good solid comp. of your local scene, dude, buy it and support these bands and this label. Buy all local releases. Go to shows. I know there's a lot of bands that suck on the scene right now, but shit, look at the pop charts any day of the week. The charts are ruled by the talentless of our society. We need help. We need fresh blood.

Buy this CD, the guy at Furball owes me money–Muggsy McMurphy

2013 UPDATE: There's still a few copies of this comp. buried in the basement of the RoosterCow offices, so now you can buy a copy of your very own!

Another stupid movie parody found its way into the first issue of Reglar Wiglar in 1993. The actual review part was from a paper I turned in for a high school writing class a few years prior. I think I was supposed to write a review of the movie Out of Africa or some shit, but that flick was just way too fuckin' boring for me to remember any of, let alone write a review of. So now you gotta suffer just like my poor old writing teacher did back in the day. Ha! You deserve it!:

MOVIE REVIEW:

I WILL KILL YOU MANY TIMES

Greetings fellow movie buffs and cinematic connoisseurs. I am grateful for this opportunity to share with you my humble opinions of some of the latest theater releases. Remember, three years of film school doesn't make me an expert, it just makes me more qualified than you—B.S. Brown

I Will Kill You Many Times

Directed by Charles Chinook; Screenplay by Randomword Choyce; Produced by Mickey Battaglia. An I Will Kill You Productions release. Running time: 80 minutes. Rating: R; language, sexual situations, decapitations.

The Cast

Jennie McFarlan...............................Jeannie McDugan
Frankie...............................................................Frankie
Bobby Baker.................................................Ryan Judd
Joey Baker...................................................Peter Thane
Brenda Sue..............................................Peggy Jackson

If you only see one movie this summer, please, take my advice and avoid I Will Kill You Many Times. It's long, it's gaudy, it's overdone, tasteless, poorly directed, poorly acted and very overrated.

I wasn't surprised to be disappointed in this film. I was surprised to be disappointed in the actors (the director, Charles Chinook, is consistently disappointing so this came as no surprise). Jeanie McDugan, who plays the role of Jeanie McFarlan, has always been a fine actress. I have been following her career since it began five years ago with her first role in I Will Kill You. However, in this particular film (tenth in the series) her character came off as weak and tired. The name she carved out for herself in the Hollywood horror industry as the quintessential "helpless and submissive female" has been shamed by her current work in I Will Kill You Many Times. I used to think that Jeannie was the best screamer in the business. In her second feature role (I Will Kill You Twice), she screamed and shrieked so beautifully, it sent shivers down my spine. Her performance in this flop was truly embarrassing. When Frankie, the demented and mutated mass murderer, stabbed Jeannie in the eye with the fondue fork, she gave such a half-hearted, luke warm yelp of pain that the immortal Freddy Krueger would have laughed his face off.

Frankie (who play himself) was equally disappointing. No one but Jason could wield an axe like Frankie could back in the day, yet in this movie I almost got the impression that he didn't even want to kill those school children. He even looked remorseful at having decapitated that elderly woman. I fear that our blood thirsty amigo may be getting a little soft.

I once felt that Jeannie McDugan and Frankie were the best acting duo in cinematic horror. These two thespians had the power to create big screen magic that both appalled and involved their audience. They were truly, and I say this without pretension, the Bogey and Bacall of low budget horror films.

As for the directing, jeeeeesh! I'm sure Charles Chinook was stewed to the gills for the majority of the filming. I went to undergrad school with Charles back East in the late 70s and believe me the only talent that man has is for sucking down whiskey sours until last call.

More bothered me about this movie that just the bad acting and directing. I got the feeling from this movie that it was rushed through, that they were on a tight budget and that the money just ran out. I got the impression that the producers only goal with this film was to compete in the sequels war and focus more on producing high qaulity horror movies that provide educational as well as cultural and philosophical ideals, and not just another splatter flick. Remember this is just one crusty old movie critics opinion (if you can call thirty-five old) but I think that filmakers today, more than ever, have not just a cinematic responsibility to their audiences, but a social responsibility as well. Horror films are excellent vehicles for promoting the kind of "Say NO to Drugs and Sex" values that we want to inflict upon our children (even though they never worked for our generation). Maybe I am getting old, but I don't appreciate the gratuitous sex scenes in this latest I Will Kill You film. I have a two year old and a three year old and I have to admit watching that rape scene with my kids in the theater was a little embarrassing. I think three or four scenes of full frontal nudity and kinky sexual situations is more than adequate for an eighty minute film. Anything more detracts from the plot and sends the wrong message to our children. And the references to drugs? They have no place in 90s cinema. Cheech and Chong went up in smoke years ago. Sure, it's funny when Freddy asks Bobby Baker (Ryan Judd) if he wants to get "stoned" right before he drops a two ton rock on his head, but is this what we are trying to teach our children? Drugs are funny? Just drop the rock, Frankie, and save the snappy one liners for Andrew Dice Clay.

Hopefully, the next I Will Kill You film tentatively titled: I Will Kill You Many, Many Times will regain the integrity and pride lost in this film, but as Frankie once advised one of his drowning murder victims, "Don't hold your breath."

The debut of the infamous Woodrows in RW #1, 1993. Although there are rumors that they were originally known by another name, that is neither here nor there, 'cause the Woodrows are here because you were there—wait. What? Anyway, the point is this was published back before these lads became world famous icons of punk rock. You can check out their discography and other antics here on their very own website, you lucky punks!

BEER, BRATS & BROADS

On the Road with the Woodrows

Interview by P.C. JONES

Published in RW#1, 1993

Dude, I don't even care what you think of The Woodrows. Whatever you feel about these guys, they couldn't possibly care less. I know the very mention of The Woodrows will offend just about every ear lobe in the straight-edge world, but hey, it's punk rock, man. And, like their latest apocalyptic full-length release will testify: Punk's Not Dead, It Was Just in Rehab. Well all right!

RW: Over 100 albums! That's an amazing accomplishment for a band that has only been around for—jeez, about thirteen years, right?

Erin: Yeah, about thirteen years we've been together. December 1979, I think is when we had our first all-out jam in our garage back in Antigo, Wisconsin. That's 'cause we all got guitars and drums and stuff from Santa.

RW: So your parents were into music then, obviously. Was this sort of like a Joe Jackson-type plan of your parents to get you guys started in some sort of marketable, cutsey, little rock band: The Woodrow Four or something?

Erin: Nah, I really don't think they had anything to do with it.

Ricky: Yeah, they were as surprised as we were Christmas morning. Anyway, as for the work we've had to put into this "amazing accomplishment" you call 100 albums, I think that me and Erin can take credit for most of the songwriting. We're sort of a songwriting team, whereas Toby and Marvy prefer to write alone. As for how we did it, shit, I don't know, but it was a lot of work.

RW: You have your own record label, correct?

Ricky: Yep, Woodrow Hill. It's quite a well-oiled base of operations. We got our own studio. Erin sort of built it. It's great to be able to have your own place that you can go to anytime and record a quick jam. Like if Erin or Marvy come up with a quick 40 or 50 second tune that you know just isn't gonna be "maintained in the brain" as we say, then we can just jet down to the studio—which is in the basement of our house in Antigo—and hammer it out in one, maybe two takes. Shit, in a week you got a double gatefold ready to hit the bins.

RW:: There's been rumors following you guys around since day one, about the lifestyles you guys lead on and off the road. What's the truth to these rock and roll horror stories. I mean, the drugs, the drink, the women...

Toby: Don't forget the brats.

RW: Yeah, and the brats, what gives?

Ricky: All true. We do some pretty massive partying before, during and in between gigs, but I think it's controlled.

Marvy: Bullshit it's controlled! Give us a pill, we'll pop it! Give us a weed, we'll toke it! Give us a bottle of piss-whiskey and we'll guzzle it! Give us a brat rolled in dog doo and we'll eat the fuckin' thing!

RW: Is that really your attitude, Marvy?

Marvy: Hell no. It's Toby's.

RW: Is this true, Toby?

Toby: Basically. I'm quite suicidal and I really, honestly don't give a fuck.

RW: People say that you guys are responsible for starting a musical revolution back in the mid 80s. Some say you guys were the true pioneers of the fusion of punk and metal. How do you guys classify yourselves?

Erin: I would say that we don't feel confined to play any one category of music. If we feel like playing a hardcore punk song off of Tar Eater we'll do it, but don't be surprised to find a kickin' metal guitar solo to make your ass bleed right there in the middle. And if it ends in a reggae beat like somethin' off of Ganja stomp, well tough shit to the anti-rastas.

Ricky: We do all sorts of songs; original and covers. I mean, if the audience started shouting, "Beethoven," I'd break out my fuckin' harpsicord.

Marvy: But I'd still dive off my amp.

Erin: We got the punk rock tag, but we don't feel comfortable playing just one genre of music anymore. We play love songs, hate songs, country songs. We might play a song one show that might glorify a more fascist, pro-Nazi ethic and then turn around the next night and do a song that is very sympathetic to the plight of the Jews. We don't want to be categorized as just a hardcore-metal-punk-reggae band anymore, that's old.

Ricky: That's why a lot of people don't like us, because they don't like anything they can't fit neatly into a category, and we don't fit at all.

RW: I know you guys gotta be in Platteville for a gig tomorrow at the University of Wisconsin, so I'll let you go. If you guys ever gig south of the border let us kids in Chi-Town in on it.

Ricky: Hey, if we're conscious, we'll look you up.
