TUFF

Are You a Slave to the Dust?

ATTENTION: ADAPTIVE AND MALADAPTIVE ALIKE

The purgative and enlightening season of tour is approaching again. This time it's Slavescene and Nazi Dust, the less-than-perfect dichotomy of Tampa dog shit and baby wee wee and whatever else you want it to be. Will empiricism and rationalism flourish in the same toilet? Who will be the other's straw dog? Will Dan Rossiter bash the shit out of me with a tire iron? Suppositions carry no clout...

SLASH AND DESTROY MARICON

WHIPPS

Neon Blud- Whipps

If hardcore dogma is afraid of one thing, it's the power of the enfant terrible. They cringe at not being well recieved, at the fact that people might get disillusioned after a few bad experiences here and there. And I suppose this would be relevant if said enfants gave a shit. Are they trying too hard yet? I'm at a loss of words with Neon Blud. I can flex some arbitrary bitterness that makes me sound like an asshole (look at me) but the facts are on the table: WHIPPS is what it is. All these songs are about transvestites or distant drug habits or the Lindbergh Baby or whatever but their alienation effect is monstrous. Huff this guy up.

Interested in copy? Most of these will be distroed by the end of the month. If that fails you, please contact ZZ at randomfit1982@yahoo.com

Do people actually read this?

Tons of shit has been going down around here. CULT RITUAL has been liquidated to the size of a dog skull and thrown in the Hillsborough River. There's still talk of one last record, but I wouldn't hold my breath. No reason to trudge around like some of our exhausted contemporaries. Call it nihilistic or post-modern or what you want but there's no reason to beat the shit out of a dead horse. Right?

"Once a vehicle for outrage, now just entertainment packaged peacefully."

NEON BLUD is the cult's heaviest new shit. Sounds like all those people in Mary Ellen Mark photos got together and tried to rip off the first Saccharine Trust record and failed miserably. Their new tape, called WHIPPS, should be out any day now. You turds are in for a surprise...No doubt a big wigger's gonna hear this someday and scorch his shorts.

The motley crew of NAZI DUST and SLAVESCENE are going on tour this winter. If we don't beat the shit out of each other and/or force each other to the side of I-95, we'll see you in your well-fed, privileged coastal Northeastern town. Nazi Dust's debut record on Youth Attack will no doubt be a widowmaker--but it'll clean enough for the typical white male to back up on his favorite message board. Deranged is spitting out Slavescene's first born, which no one will like. VPS is repressing the uber-rare cassette HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS on an LP. Hopefully the philistines categorize it as "just another DRUNKDRIVER ripoff."

MERCHANDISE- S/T EP

Merchandise-s/t ep

1. _____
2. I'm Still Right
3. Target
4. Kill the Light
5. Moving Out
6. It's a Man's World


Merchandise recorded this last year but it didn't get circulated as much as it should have. This is "well crafted" (whatever that means) post punk, which is a mild surprise from a place where any bands relatively close to that label are barhopping washed-up "mature" pricks. C. Cox of Lady Godiva's Operation fame is the purported band leader; DV from Cult Ritual and Pat Brady (of Publix fame) are his partners in grime.

It's kind of hard to pinpoint what this stuff sounds like, but at the same time too easy. I'll make it an egg hunt for you. My personal favorites are "Target" and "It's a Man's World." But that's one reporter's opinion.
