-- ATHLETIC AUTOMATON -->
2 piece drums & guitar sweat mess, in 70's gym class attire, up and down jumping & pumelling eardrums. Featuring Steve Mattis from ARAB ON RADAR on guitar. Overdriven physical display that will without doubt overpower Tommys' puny air conditioning unit. AA just released a split full length with another x Arab on Radar congloberation - Made in Mexico. You will be detroyed in the process of AA's twelve step plan.
-- MP3s --> http://www.athleticautomaton.com/music.htm
-- the CREEPING NOBODIES -->
co-ed five piece Canadians invading - "These five Torontonians cross the border to to bring you a set of intense artpunk. Their songs call to mind Pere Ubu, the Ex, Swell Maps and early Fall -- in fact, look closely at the cover of the Fall's 'Grotesque' album and you'll see where they got their name. Their EP '1-X-U' is out now, and they're also featured on the Fall tribute album 'Perverted By Mark E.' " - Terre T from WFMU
-- MP3s --> http://www.thecreepingnobodies.com/html/music.htm
-- NINJA HIGH SCHOOL -->
allies in the Canadian invasion, "Featuring more positive hardcore disguised as 'rap' than anyone has ever shaken a stick at in their entire lives. You will be awed by their performance." - Blocks! REcord Collective. Toronto's "the Eye" says this: "white rock kids drop guitars to do the electric boogaloo -- only no one's laughing because they're too busy dancing. What started as a one-off house-party laugh for MC Matt Collins (formerly of agit-punks 'Currently in These United States') has, since last summer, grown into a beat-boxin' crew of four that also includes call-and-respondents Steve Kado (of The Barcelona Pavilion) and Anna Cvitcovic, and their very own Bez in dancer Wolfgang Nessel. Their version of 8 Mile would be set at Sneaky Dee's in Toronto -- though there would be no battles, just group hugs and occasional nudity." Audiences have been known to rip their clothes off.
-- FINAL FANTASY -->
from Canadia, mysteriously.
-- ALARMIST -->
co-ed Portland, Oregonians on Frenetic Records (home of the Fucking Champs) & also on Sincere Brutality Records. 4 folks, including Eric from Ghost to Falco & ubiquitous Portland scenester James Squeaky on the microphone-run-through-pedals. "Discordant but beautiful, whee-fun but murder-serious - the phrase "beauty and the beast" coem to mind to describe Alarmist - with music that contorts, bends, and twists between carnal and ticklish, epic and goofy." - the Portland Mercury
-- MP3s --> http://www.freneticrecords.com/alarmist/listen.html
so come on out Saturday *&* ---- 2NITE 10/8 ----> another of them there d-b8's tonite, don't miss it, this one's our man John Kerry's chance to hit it out of the park. 9pm on the teevee - you gotta watch this one. John Kerry's gonna do some mop-up work on puny little Georgie.
JFK is leading Dubya in most of the polls out there these days - and just yesterday started looking like he's leading in the electoral vote race too. But that could change - we gotta stay on their asses and get past just parity here. Tonite could hand over a real lead - but we gotta be vigilant and not let the Repub bastards reverse this.
-- SO --> like last time, and maybe more so since fewer folks'll be paying attention, they're going to try to spin this one as a win for the Bush & the Repubs & the neo-cons no matter what actually goes down. Please watch the debate & then AFTER you watch the debate, do a little work to get that sonovabitch Bush out of office by speaking up and not letting the corporate news companies dictate to folks what to think - call-in to radio and tv talk shows and voice your opinion, and -- IMPORTANTLY --> GO TO THE NEWS WEBSITES' ONLINE POLLS right after the debates end and register your opinion. This will influence how they cover the debate tomorrow morning and till election day. The news websites are:
ABC NEWS --> http://abcnews.go.com/
CBS NEWS --> http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/home/main100.shtml
NBC NEWS --> http://www.msnbc.com/
CNN NEWS --> http://www.cnn.com/
FOX "NEWS" --> http://www.foxnews.com/
for more places to respond, go to --> http://johnkerry.com/response
but most important of all, talk to your co-workers and neighbors and friends about the debate tomorrow and on Monday, let folks know that it's okay to feel however you feel about the election, no matter what the news says. Participate in democracy!
Side note: John Kerry bears a striking resemblance to Andrew Jackson, methinks: pull out your $20 dollar bills and compare. And while you got it out - why not go to -->
https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html
& put that twenty bucks to some good use - by donating to help John Kerry defeat Dick Cheney & George W. Bush.
