One of the Residents' eyeball masks was stolen recently after a series of
concerts in SF.  The unfortunate Resident is now touring in a black tuxedo
(the rest wear white) and a black skull mask.  Rumor has it they'll be playing
either SNL or Letterman when the tour reaches NYC.  "Demented synth-group"?
Incidentally, there's a New American Dada exhibit (neglecting the fact that
Dada was a one-time movement) at the Henry Art Gallery at UWash, with 4 tvs
broadcasting alternative videos.  The "Weirdness" tv is almost entirely Ralph,
including Tuxedomoon's "Jinx" and the Residents' "Moisture", "Act of Being 
Polite", "Simple Song", "Perfect Love", "Hello Skinny", and "Third Reich and
Roll".  The other tvs are:

Satire:  Devo "Freedom of Choice"	Dog Police "1-800"
	 Circle Jerks "Beverly Hills"	Black Flag "TV Party" + interview

Rage:	 Ramones "Psycho Therapy"	Suicidal Tendencies "Institutionalized"
         DEad Kennedys "Life Sentence"	Einsturzende Neubauten "Autobahn"

Protest: Devo "Beautiful World"		D. A. F. "Dance To Mussolini"
	 Cabaret Voltaire "The Crackdown"
	 Killing Joke "Follow The Leader", "Who Told You How?", "Exit"

I've probably forgotten a few...

Cocteau Twins:  Killer.  (Sorry, the influence of SoCal residents of my
co-op.)   Just bought _Treasure_, after having heard "Lorelei" on a college
radio station in Chicago while waiting for a plane at O'Hare.  Other good
cuts on the album are "Ivo" and "Amelia".  The version I bought (Canadian)
also included the _Aikea-Guinea_ EP.  "Kookaburra" sounds very much like
pre-sellout Simple Minds.  I noticed the _Echoes in a Shallow Bay_ EP at the
record store; isn't that a line from New Order's "Blue Monday"?

"but if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be a heavenly person today"

Butthole Surfers / Camper Van Beethoven show at the Mabuhay sold out, grr.
Attempts to meet the Surfers at the place they were crashing proved futile:
they turned out to have phoned ahead to say they were staying at some place
on Fillmore.

Special showing of _Brazil_ with Terry Gilliam in attendance this Tuesday
at Wheeler Aud on campus, but dammit the same time as the city council meeting
on the future of my beloved co-op.  Can only hope we don't come up til late on
the agenda.

  The Residents recently took off their eyeballs. It should also be 
mentioned they had a writeup in PC magazine (yes the business oriented
magazine for IBM-PC users)! It was about their innovative use of the
Mindset PC sort-of-compatable in one of their fine, fine videos. One or
more of the band is real hardware freak.

  It should also be noted that Siouxie and the Banshees' did the best
ever cover of "Helter Skelter" on one of their early albums: The Scream.

 Is anyone else confused that ZTT records is the label of: Frankie Goes
to Hollywood, Art of Noise and Roy Oberson?

                 Interviewer: Do you have any idea why so many Kate Bush
                              fans also like Siouxie Sioux?
                 Kate Bush  : No.
