MAX G. MORTON: The
original Indestructible Wolf-- will read from his out-of-print gem LOOKING FOR
THE MAGIC. "An eleven-chapter arena of
unwell living. Foreword by Boyd Rice, collages by Dominick Fernow. Magic's aura
is still black, but it shows tomorrow's colors as the search grows. From the
pre-teen kicks of the suburban karate circuit, straight down to the attempted
murder of Tiny Tim, back up again at Coney Island High, to a realm of balance in
a Park Avenue brothel. Let a teenage klansman, an autistic weatherman, a
crackbaby Count, Peggy Moffitt and Polly Magoo of the mainlining set, a sheriff
with invisible handcuffs, a Santa Monica painted nightcat and a girl named
Kitten be your guide through the second block of the Apocalypse
Junkyard."....
.. ..
JONATHAN SHAW: Old
school New York tattooist, whorehouse philosopher and "nightmare antihero of the
new age" according to Iggy Pop, Jonathan Shaw will share an excerpt from his
deeply depraved work of outlaw literature NARCISA: OUR LADY OF ASHES. Copies of
his latest release, LOVE SONGS TO THE DEAD, a small collection of dope-sick
poems written between 1970 and 1975 will make the perfect Christmas gift, or as
he would refer to it, "toilet reader".....
.. ..
CULT OF YOUTH:
Nihilistic Pagan Neo-Folk/Post-Industrial from New York
City.....
.. ..
DJ JANE ELIZABETH
(Tesco USA): "Tesco USA, the American
distribution division of Tesco Germany, was founded 2001 after an auspicious
meeting between a New York City DJ and one of the Tesco partners at a London gig
for the seminal British power electronics band Whitehouse. It was only two weeks
after 9/11, and although we were fortunate not to have been directly affected by
the events, watching them unfold with my own eyes left an indelible
impression.......
The original "Ground
Zero" logo design reflected the context of our genesis and the images often
conjured by the soundscapes of industrial music. The logo is a graphic reminder
that the impossible can become a reality in the blink of an eye, and that even
in the face of unthinkable destruction, anything is possible. We reacted by
taking the opportunity to build something new based on the best of what came
before... Tesco USA was born of a love for difficult music in a difficult world,
and endures with the same."....
