BOYD RICE
STANDING IN TWO CIRCLES: THE COLLECTED
WORKS OF BOYD RICE
(edited by Brian M. Clark)
Who is Boyd Rice? (actual quotes)
"Boyd Rice is a black pimp."
–Charles Manson
"Boyd was my mentor."
–Marilyn Manson
"Boyd is an iconoclast!"
–Anton LaVey, Church
of Satan
"Boyd Rice has
crossed over into the realm of being a pop icon, not unlike Andy Warhol, Tiny
Tim, or Charles Manson. His face is like a corporate logo synonymous with a
specific type of worldview. When you see Boyd it's as though you're gazing upon
the Golden Arches or the Swastika. Or both."
–Shaun Partridge, The PartridgeFamilyTemple
STANDING IN TWO CIRCLES is the
first definitive and comprehensive compendium of the works of BOYD RICE, one of
the most provocative and controversial underground figures of the post-punk
era. A pioneering noise musician and countercultural maven, from the late 1970s
to the present Rice has worked in an array of capacities, playing the roles of:
musician, performer, artist, photographer, essayist, interviewer, editor,
occult researcher, filmmaker, actor, orator, deejay, gallery curator and tiki
bar designer, among others. First coming to prominence as an avant-garde audio
experimentalist (recording under the moniker NON), Rice was a seminal founder
of the first wave of industrial music in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, through
collaborations with Re/Search Publications, Rice further established his
position in the underground with recountings of his uproarious pranks and the
promotion of “incredibly strange” cult films and “industrial” culture. Rice’s
influence on subculture was further exerted through his vanguard exhibition of
found photographs and readymade thrift store art, as well as his adamant
endorsements of outsider music, tiki culture and bygone pop culture in general.
Rice is also notorious for his public associations with nefarious figures both
infamous and obscure, including friendships and ideological collusions with the
likes of cult leader Charles Manson and Church Of Satan
founder Anton LaVey, among others. His work continues to profoundly affect the
countercultural underground at large, inspiring and enraging in equal measure.
STANDING IN TWO CIRCLES
includes over 30 provocative essays on subjects ranging from Mondo Films to
Charles Manson, Savitri Devi to the Hellfire Club, Cocktail Culture to African
Atrocities, and from Abraxas to Rape. Of the 33 essays contained herein, 11
appear here for the first time ever. Of the remaining 22 previously published
texts contained in this volume, most are revised, updated and expanded from
their original versions.
ALSO INCLUDES THE COMPLETE LYRICS and ART & PHOTOGRAPHY (38
original plates)!

to a wedding” or something lame like that? Send GERM $27 (a bit extra to cover
postage) via Paypal (at germbookstore@... ) and we’ll MAIL you an autographed copy. If you wish, we’ll

"Apocalypse was in the air; an impending feeling of doom. The multi-colored
dreams of psychedelia had begun to fade and for those of us who had crossed
its rainbow bridge there would be no turning back. The world as we had known
it would never quite seem the same again. The prevailing order of things -
these and a panoply of similar assumptions formerly taken for granted with
simple minded acceptance - now came into question, were scrutinized,
dissected and exposed for the frauds we felt them to be. But what were these
mainstays of our civilization to be replaced with?"-Robert N. Taylor
GERM is absolutely, positively, unspeakably proud to be hosting this art
show of international historical significance. From the coffee shops of
the Process Church to their virtual creation of the apocalyptic folk genre,
Robert N. Taylor and his cousin Nicholas Tesluk have always infused the
music of Changes with an uncompromising world view that translates readily
into their largely heretofore unseen catalog of work in the visual media:
it's a psychonaut's guide to the end of the world. with a new world just
around the corner.
Like a lot of folk duos with long hair, Changes formed in 1969. But peace
and love-or at least the childish hippie understandings of these
concepts-weren't really their vibe. Thus, outside of live performances,
their music remained largely unheard until rescued from obscurity by that
great cultural historian Michael Moynihan, whose record label Storm
co-released the CD Fire of Life with Willi Stasch's Cthulhu Records in 1996.
In the intervening years, they've quite actively released other CD's and
vinyl records, while performing around the world and indulging their
not-so-public devotions to painting.

BENEFIT FOR SICK KID @ ST MARKS CHURCH
7PM sharp/ $20 donation entry fee
May 18th 2008, at St. Mark's Church in New York City, marks an evening where
decades of experimental performers from around the world will gather to buoy
the spirits of their friend, 2-year-old Myat Moondog Haggart.
Confirmed acts include Captain Sons and Daughters (artist Kara Bohnenstiel
and Drew McDowall of Coil), Vito Acconci (delivering a 'textual
architecture' oration), Scott Haggart and Lary Seven performing DISKONO 017
(announcing the rebirth and continuation of legendary Scottish Dada-anarcho
record label DISKONO), David Grubbs (Squirrel Bait, Gastr Del Sol, myriad
solo projects collaborations and critical works), Backworld (World Serpent,
Current 93), Little Annie (CRASS, Coil, go-to chanteuse for 30 years plus)
and Paul Wallfisch (from BOTANICA), and DJs J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus, Steroid
Maximus, Manorexia) and Fabio Roberti (WFMU). Melissa Rocha will present a
puppet-filled animated short. Secret Project Robot projections.
This bill forms a roster of incessant voyagers, passionate collaborators,
true anarchists, and conscientious scholars. It is a festival-quality
roster, and a rich, beautiful roster: please graze the Internet for a moment
to see how deep these artists' creative roots run.
A door raffle and silent auction will take place on the sidelines: donations
thus far include a package of Coil and other record rarities, Vito Acconci
artwork, Michel Gondry drawing, Terry Richardson photography, Sebastian
Mlynarski photography, Todd Fisher photography, Mae Fatto photography, Rob
Hann photography, Robert Munn 3-D image, Little Annie painting, Andrea Aimi
painting, Shannon Lucy print, Dawn Breeze painting, Patricia Iglesias

Nieves sculpture, Micki Pellerano drawing, Nanette Lepore clothing, Other
Music voucher, Beacon's Closet gift certificate, Bumble + Bumble haircuts,
Vashti Windish (Live with Animals) chocolates and many more.
Myat Moondog Haggart is a hilarious, pugnacious, beautiful and beloved child
beset by health problems relating to his brain that are proving very
difficult to diagnose. This event exists as a party for him as he begins
what may be a difficult journey to health, and as an immeasurably helpful
boost as his medical bills continue to mount. This is an event for punks,
nerds, parents, perverts, students, children, priests, pagans, ravers: an
event for everyone.

Tesco USA is pleased to finally announce the release of DEATH IN JUNE : LIVE
IN NEW YORK!
http://store.tesco-distro.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=VIDSNATO
001
This beautiful and unique documentary piece, recorded at the Walker Stage in
New York City on November 10, 2002, is a career-spanning collection of
tracks, each receiving a definitive live performance in DIJ's more recent
stripped-down acoustic arrangements. Available in NTSC and PAL formats in a
DVD Digipak. $20 plus postage anywhere in the world, more or less.
Thanks to all who pre-ordered - your parcel (dealers too) will ship starting
Wednesday and all should be out by the end of the week - you will receive a
separate e-mail confirmation.
SPRING CONTEST RESULTS!
With the departure of Tesco Kommando Kate in January, and the
long-anticipated realization of the labor of love known as the DIJ NYC DVD,
it seemed appropriate to fill the empty nest with a new assistant. Entries
were accepted until the 3/27 release date to:
a) guess which of the two canines on the home page is mine, and
b) come up with a fantastic name that has some kind of relevance within the
Tesco world, or to me personally.
and the winner is...
DRZUM who wrote, "It's the white ball of fluff. Call her 'Sunny' (short for
Sun Dog), or Oester/Ostara, for a nice spring-like name - it's a nice homage
to Richard Leviathan's band Ostara." Sunny the white ball of fluff it is!
Congratulations to DRZUM, who will receive a DVD and poster for his effort.
Other Spring Contest winners included TYR ODESSA, who noticed within just a
few hours that the DVD had been removed from the website temporarily back in
early February, and e-mailed me to inquire. Now that's a fan who is paying
attention! Congratulations Tyr - the very first copy is yours.
And the last winner was RODNEY R. of Austin, TX, who guessed what the theme
of the dog-naming contest would be before it was announced--the first clue
was: "What do you get when you take 'you' out of Doug?" Congratulations
Rodney--you get a $100 credit in the webstore. Thanks to all who
participated!

Forty feet beneath the Earth's surface, Darryl Hell's interview experiment
with Douglas P. took place amongst the rumbles, hisses, and thunks of the
belly of a New York City skyscraper...during a harsh January 2005 blizzard.
This is the first time Douglas has taken part in this type of interview
project.
Its flow replicates a meandering day-long conversation held between Douglas
P. and Darryl Hell at Mindswerve Studio in 2004. Their many life experiences
in 1970's, 1980's punk rock, made for a fertile ground. Hell's vision for
the project was to give Douglas a chance to fully articulate himself without
the boundaries of the traditional interview format. The result is a roller
coaster ride through Douglas' life from childhood into the future.

On behalf of Merrick, Roger, the bands and all of the promoters, we regret
to inform you that the Cold Meat Industry North American Tour has been
cancelled, owing to customs problems beyond our control or ability to
remedy. Despite Mr. Karmanik's best efforts to fly them back into NYC and
continue to tour from here, an immigration attorney was consulted, and it
was determined that there was nothing that could be done in a timely or
cost-effective manner to ensure the bands could enter the country without
trouble.
The tour site at http://www.coldmeat-usa.com will be updated ASAP with this
info, and any news pertaining to events that may still happen. There will
most likely be a free DJ party and scaled down live show at Wild Spirits in
NYC this Thursday, for example.
Please contact the place of purchase for info on ticket refunds, and accept
our sincere apologies for this very unfortunate situation. Thanks to all
those who worked so hard to make this tour happen and support our
activities. -je

Hope you enjoy them…because Douglas seemed to.
--------------------------------------------
ludicroussmiles
Could you describe in detail the falling out of David Tibet and/or
Jhonn Balance and how that has affected you personally?
[Douglas] To describe "in detail" the cumulative effect of the slow but
gradual
deterioration of our relationship would take too long and I'm past being
interested in it, let alone concerned by it. Suffice to say that whilst I
could live with Tibet using my name gratuitously on the credits of a
homophobic album he released by Tiny Tim or him slamming the telephone
down on me a couple of times in a fit of pique when I showed the
temerity to
actually disagree with him, probably about religious matters, I really
couldn't abide seeing his name attached to legal documents instructing
people like Geff Rushton (John Balance) to get as much dirt on me as
possible to help world serpent distribution in their legal case against me.
Particularly galling was that the instruction came with a note saying that
those individuals concerned should be quiet regarding his secret
instructions to them!
Those actions were really lower than a snake's belly and he sealed his fate
as far as I'm concerned. No wonder he has gone on to even disown himself.
He/current 93 ceased to exist from there on.
--------------------------------------------
Andrew Fletcher
Douglas,
Death In June has largely been your personal project for over twenty
years. A man's life, thoughts and philosophies can undergo many
changes in this course of time. Do you find that whatever inspired
you at the inception of Death In June continues to inspire you today?
Best Regards,
Andrew Fletcher
[Douglas] The inspirations that permeated every aspect of my Existence
from. Say the ages of 20-30, still very much hold sway in my Life
today now I'm
approaching 50. But, once you have read the Highway Code you shouldn't
really need to perpetually return to it to know the rules of the road! Or,
if you do you probably weren't a very good learner in the first place. You
adapt, adopt and improvise as the road becomes longer and longer, perhaps
more treacherous. There's no hope of ever having enough fuel to get back to
where you came from, anyway.
--------------------------------------------
emma korn
If the price was right, would you give my boyfriend and me piano
lessons? If not, do you think David Tibet would be up for it.
Sincerely,
Emma.
[Douglas] The only piano lessons I've ever had were sitting in front
of a keyboard
by myself and placing my fingers in positions where I thought they sounded
pleasing. I suggest you save your money and do the same.
David Tibet, to the best of my knowledge, can't play any instrument. That's
the reason why he gets people like me into his group to write songs for him.
Sadly, when his ego is threatened he will later deny they ever existed and
attempt to write them out of history. He's a better joker than musician and
justly deserves to be remembered as such. You should pay to see his stand up
routine but definitely not for piano lessons.
--------------------------------------------
Uri Shaham
dear douglas
I know you never answer to questions about your lyrics but I still intend to
try
my question is about 'rose clouds of holocaust' my feeling about this
song is that it is talking about the friendship between you and tibet.
I know it was written while you were still friends but sometimes art
can show things that will happen in the future. the reason I feel this
way is because I know the main line of the song is about a certain
moment on the beach and another line 'festivals end as festivals must'
can be also about a friendship that
ended. maybe you can add something to this theory ? what do you think?
all the very best
Uri Shaham
Israel
[Douglas] "Festivals end as Festivals must" is actually a newspaper
headline I saw in 1980 referring to Yukio Mishima's suicide in 1970 at
the Eastern Army
Barracks in Tokyo. There was no beach in Iceland where Tibet and I discussed
"Auschwitz by the Sea" at The Blue Lagoon in the middle of a blizzard.
Only the bleak surrounding volcanic landscape. It was a momentary
inspiration
that led to 'Rose Clouds Of Holocaust'.
However, on that same album the song 'Lifebooks' does directly relate to
probably the most intense and strange conversation Tibet and I ever had in a
pub in the West End of London near Leicester Square in about 1993/94.
I very much agree with your point that some art can mutate over the course
of time as I find out with my own work. When I sing lyrics today I know
where the original inspiration came from and realize how I can now put those
lyrics in another context it really does make me wonder about the purpose of
the original. It certainly is food for thought, Uri!
--------------------------------------------
Michael Fay
Hello, Douglas P. Please name your Gods.
Thank you, Michael Fay
[Douglas] Whoever answers my prayers in the most efficient and expedient way
possible. My Gods are the ones that work!
--------------------------------------------
Steffen Fahrner
Hallo Douglas,
here my question:
Has there been a time when you heard and maybe even liked the music of
Pink Floyd or Roger Waters?
Thank you in advance and all the best for you and your work.
Steffen
[Douglas] I loved early, Syd Barratt era Pink Floyd. I bought the 'Relics'
compilation as a teenager, became hooked and then bought the first 2 albums
and Syd's solo material. I never had more than a passing interest in the
work that followed. I've never heard a Roger Waters solo album.
--------------------------------------------
Wendy Layne
Comment interpretez-vous votre chanson "c'est un rêve", que doit-on
comprendre par "il est dans nos coeurs noirs (Klaus Barbie)?
(after a French to English translator, which is not exactly perfect, we
get:)
How do you interpretez your song "it is a dream", which must one
include/understand by "it is in our black cores (Klaus Barbie)?
[Douglas] Klaus Barbie was only a symbol. Nothing special. The Balkans
war in the 1990s, the genocide in Rwanda and our present war without
end in Iraq all
easily demonstrate this.
The song was inspired by some performances in France in early 1984 where it
was rumoured that DIJ had tried to make contact with him during our visit to
Lyon where he was in prison. Naturally, it was only a rumour but, an
inspirational one as far as my song writing was concerned!

work of chilean writer Miguel Serrano...some of his
topics may be of your interest, for sure.

Sergio Olivera
Hi, here's my question:
Do you feel comfortable within thought-line of the european new right (being
De Benoist one of its more recognised exponents, inspired by both
left-right, influenced for the konservative revolution -Jünger, Heidegger,
Spengler, Schmitt,..- and demanding a philosophical return to paganism),
from a political (though is more about metapolitics than politics per sé)
and philosophical point of view?
Thanks,
Sergio de Olivera
(Spain)
[Douglas] I truly only feel comfortable with myself regarding any
'political'
trains of thought.
--------------------------------------------
phil eaglesham
Thank you for this and hello Douglas.
'Astounded to be celebrating 20yrs of the release of Nada! with you
this month, what are your fondest reflections and bitterest memories
of that inspiring period of DI6's past?'
Heilige!
p6 (Scotland) x
ps. I still await a copy of 'Alarm Agents' despite payment in December!
[Douglas] I think the best memory is the dawn walk to the Thames
Embankment near the recording studios at Waterloo for a Champagne
breakfast. After we had
finished the album we knew we had something special and that we should
celebrate.
The worst, at that time, was when Patrick Leagas went missing after our tour
of Italy in April, 1985. I really had to think very quickly on my feet
during that period but in retrospect it was all for the beast!

a thought on: "Why? & Why not?"
Do you care for the differences they distinguish...anymore?

[Douglas] I'm not sure if I ever did care about the differences. I act
on instinct
and never call that into question.

[Douglas] How does one list so much without it sounding like a bland
shopping
list? I've said it all before anyway and I won't demean all those important
moments, works, people, loves, actions and feelings. I was born at 09.00
hrs. on Friday, the 27th April 1956 in a terraced council house on an
industrial estate in Woking, Surrey in the South of England and I am now 49
years old writing this at 14.45 hrs on a citrus block acres and acres in
size in the Riverland area of South Australia, Sunday, 28th August, 2005.
All of My Life and all that has come with it has been the inspiration.

TESCO USA NAMED VILLAGE VOICE'S BEST OF NEW YORK!
Best Music Distribution Run by a Rivethead:
TESCO ORGANISATION
Jane Elizabeth, basement Valkyrie and supporter of all things Industrial,
started the Gotham arm of Germany's TESCO ORGANISATION after 9-11. The
subsequent philosophy: "In the face of unthinkable destruction, anything is
possible." With enough support from the listening public to hire an employee
last year, Ms. Eliz prospers at disseminating sounds from the emptiest
quarters: pure noise and other musics that hurt. -David Cotner
Special thanks to David for this lovely write-up, and to all of our
supporters, especially my partners Klaus and Joachim at Tesco Germany, my
right-hand woman Kate, my left-hand man Lee, our propaganda minister Raul,
and all of the Tesco Commandos past and present.
Special mention to Mr. Douglas P., whose last-minute request to organize the
DIJ/NON Brown Easter show in 2002 and subsequent encouragement and support
helped propel us to where we are today. Now all we need is to finish that
freakin' Live in NYC DVD, which really is coming soon... -je
________________________________________________
OC+GIFT LIVE PHOTOS POSTED
Many more to come from all the events in the past few weeks, including BAIN
WOLFKIND live, and possibly a sneak preview of the forthcoming music video
for "Burning on the Brink" from Bain's brand new album Music for Lovers and
Gangsters.
________________________________________________
Lastly, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TESCO USA UNTIL FRIDAY!
Why? Because we are in the process of LOWERING our prices. Yes that's right,
since the exchange rates are relatively stable, we will be lowering prices
on all IMPORTS - for example, CDs that have are $17-18 will be closer to
$15. As always though, we try to keep prices under $15 for all our domestic
and non-Euro-based inventory. Look for the new prices coming soon - it just
takes a little time to update the database.
Thanks for your attention. -je
