MUSIC ZINE: SICK AMONG THE PURE (DOT) COM
TARGET: http://www.sickamongthepure.com


Greetings!

All Hallow's Eve strikes again! And this time, only a day before a
select few vote in another U.S. Presidential Election. Meanwhile, we
gnomes and elves (and various other heathen slaves mucking about the
place) spin gold from straw, unravel tall tales, and incessantly wag
our own tails while waiting for YOU to decide just where to begin
exploring this fabulous new edition of SickAmongthePure!


MUSIC ZINE: SICK AMONG THE PURE (DOT) COM
TARGET: http://www.sickamongthepure.com


Before we dive into the political meat market, or debate anything at
all, we should pay homage to "two decades of conceptual continuity,"
otherwise known as "Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid," or KMFDM!

Homage to KMFDM...
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/2004/11/KMFDM/KMFDM.html

Finally (sheesh!)...

(we come to a band name that probably everyone here will recognize!)


KMFDM :: doin't it yet again (a treat for the freaks)
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/2004/11/KMFDM/KMFDM.html

From what I understand, Ms. Cifarelli becomes rather chatty with our
faithful weather-beaten SATP reporter, and takes to spilling the beans
on just how the most recent KMFDM tour against the music industry
almost shattered like an ashtray, or maybe it was more like a beer
bottle collision?


Dæmon, SATP Managing Editor, rag-tag vagabond,
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/Team/Daemon.html

and all around stowaway field journalist, took a holiday from the
drudgery of making Krispy Kremes to hijack the magical musical KMFDM
tour bus! Several passengers stowed on board apparently flaunt names
too difficult to repeat without help from a paid professional. Maybe
you can sound out their names on your own? If it helps matters any, I
could spell out the first and last names slowly for you to piece
together again. Ordered alphabetically, here's the first one:

L-u-c-i-a ... C-i-f-a-r-e-l-l-i

And next we find... here it is:

S-a-s-c-h-a ... K-o-n-i-e-t-z-k-o

Blow-Up :: the real dance revolution
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/2004/11/Blow-Up/Blow-Up.html

Hollywood has NOT seen the last of the late, great Blow-Up dolls
remaining from the 5th annual SATP Debauchery Lounge, an
around-the-clock, all-out fuckfest involving only the latest in latex
rubber dolls...

What? Hey, Dæmon. What's up? Of course, I can say that! I'm the
Editor, right?

Oh, my apologies, folks! Apparently, there is absolutely no connection
between the following Blow-Up interview and the recent "Exploding
Plastic Pleasure" fest that we [laughs] endured...


I'll tell you how well connected it is...
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/2004/11/Blow-Up/Blow-Up.html

This Blow-Up interview has dirt on Hollywood, and the real Exploding
Plastic Pleasure is a music release that also includes references to
and vocals by both Deborah Harry and Lydia Lunch. Additionally, we
find more familiar personalities, and even entire music groups,
including: The Flaming Lips, Madonna, Rod Stewart, Yoko Ono, Esthero,
Robert De Niro, and John Maynard Keynes.


NEXT...

Sonya Brown and I both wandered into Sabala's Mt. Tabor to find Icon
of Coil relaxing in the Green Room. Without hesitation, we hurtled
ourselves into the room and began to pounce upon the traveling
musicians, entirely unannounced. We then proceeded to bombard those
three weary minstrels with one question after another, pelting each
one with sarcasm and disdain until, at long last, they arose in a
rather foul mood, and proceeded to evict us from the venue, tossing
rotten eggs, tomatoes, and other garbage in our general direction.
Would you like to read what they had to say before we got smothered in
alcoholic waste?

And then, not long after...

Not to be outdone, Sonya Brown retreats back again to Sabala's Mt.
Tabor, Indie music and films venue, to attack another innocent band of
musicians! This time, history would reveal the baffled band to be none
other than legendary Goth Rockers turned EBM/Rock'n'Roll wizards,
Written In Ashes!

Now, Let's Globetrot...
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/

Sandra Espinoza (of Liquid Mercury), and also a new contributor to
SATP, caught wind of our interview with Icon of Coil and decided to
interview another European band called Blank.

As it turns out, Sebastian (of Moonitor, and the man whom Side-Line
magazine describes as, "the mastermind behind Icon of Coil") became
involved with a collaborative "Blank:Moonitor" CD release, apparently
entitled, Uturn 3: the darkside of the beat.

The moral of these ramblings might be that if you dig on Icon of Coil,
then you might like to check out Blank, and also Moonitor.

Or, if you dig on Moonitor, then perhaps you should check out Icon of
Coil?

Or, maybe you should just check out the latest news and insights into
both Blank and Icon of Coil?

Now, have you ever thought of a professional career playing QUAKE,
DOOM, or something else just as quick and deadly? Or, have you "ever
seen a grown man naked?"

Beware! Brad Hirn (SATP Copy Editor/Staff Writer)
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/Team/Hirn.html

will have you "quaking" in your "I Rock" boots! He'll have you running
from the LAN, and screaming (at the top of your lungs), "BYOC!"

Doggonnit!...
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/

If government ain't the most nonsensical, asinine, and
as-stubborn-as-nails conception ever to become elevated above the
human beings on this planet, then, I dunno what to call it!

Still, I believe Evan Long, SATP Staff Writer,

http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/Team/Long.html

might have another name for governmental oversight.

I believe he might be the one to point out the "bad breeding" that has
infiltrated those ivory castles, with elected arms descending elbows
into apparently bottomless coffers replenished annually by our
respective tax dollars.

Ah, go on, all you anti-social gaming fiends! Read it! We'll still see
you at the next Anime con!

Gettin' Political...
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/
(or, Let me hear your voter-talk, your voter-talk…)

Recent media effort to saturate both eligible and non-eligible voters
alike with racy reports on religion, economics, and both domestic and
foreign political bugaboos have many of the SATP gnomes seeking deeper
burrows of hopefully sane refuge.

As if in direct contrast to the former description, a few of the other
SATP gnomes scuttling about have taken to carrying small and large
protest signs aloft, either in favour of or staunchly against some
(apparently nefarious) character known around these parts only as
"Bush." Honestly, I have heard a few other popular names given to this
notorious one, which I would just as soon care not to repeat.

Zodiac, one of our more out-spoken protestors,
http://www.sickamongthepure.com/files/Team/Zodiac.html

detests burrow-making and has, in fact, drawn up a soap-box, and is
even now haranguing cable TV solicitors and other flotsam and jetsam
scum who were nearly about to vomit upon our front porch.


If you listen closely, you can just catch a bit of an argument already
in progress...

Jeremy NeeDLE, a published author, musician, and one of our more
recent contributors to SATP, unfortunately could not be with us today
due to traffic somewhere on the 405. He managed to submit a transcript
with a little help from a digital assistant. So, we'll call this one a
field report. Yeah, that's the ticket!
