Misfits!
Going eazsier on th C. R.
Well, when I woke up this sunday morning, around 11:30, my mom hands me an article about corporate k. "It's really interesting. You should do somethign better with your life then be in bands and wrt hose zines all the time..." she went on, but the article looked interesting because I saw a big icur of Sonic Youth and hole and beck. And anyone with a brain knows that a picture of the youthis lwas a good sign. But the gist of the article was that, "punk is stupid music... nobody today i talnted..DIY is killing rock... Sonic Youth arent that talented... Kurt cobain... MTV...and it gos on. Now know what pousers feel like when they get a whiff of this zine. But I had a few qwestios to ak. Howthe fuck is intergrity going to kill rock? This is stupid. If you don't want to get faous, JDyou dont get on MTV, you sing from the heart, write what you want to write, and lots more. ut why des he thnk that haveing a little crediability and intergrity such a bad thing. How many reords you ell has nthing to do with anything. How well you play has nothign to do with anythying. I you soundlike all o the bands on MTV, you suck. Do your own thing. Sonic Youth have thier own stle and it's orked for oer fifteen years. They write good music too. Talent is trival. It makes no dffrence how ell you can lay. Most of the people in bands have been playing their insturments for yars. Anyone wo says punks ren't talented really need to wake up and find out how hard it is to pla really fast ad ever heard Bb Mould? He's better than all the fretboard masterbators like Eddie Va Halen.
JD has probably heard two punk ablums his whole life. Nevermind and In utero. If you don't thinkKur good at guitar, maybe you've never tried to play Radio Friendly Unit shifter? And don't say anyhtn bout Dave. He's the best drummer in the world. I doubt JD can play anything at all.
What is up here? Since when do people find punk as a musical style? I don't know how many times I h to tell you , but Punk is a state of mind. It is not for pousers, Green Day fans, MTV watchers, oprarte magzine readers or any thing like that. It is for the few, the outskirts of society. The pope ho shop at thrift stores and read Jack Kerouac, instead of REach for the Beach, and read Babysttes boks. I want to tell all the people like this to shut up, go away, and leave us alone, as wel asour usic, our culture, and just fuck off.
Punks have proven that they can do without MTV and radio. Us punks are usually very creative, intelent, and have shitloads of ingenuity. I don't want to be a part of anyones crowd, I don't like GrenDy and if you don't like the fact that I hate them, fuck you.
JD if three chords and stupid melodies are enough to keep you happy, well, stop it with sonic youtand all those bands. They all are very talented and creative. One last thing. If someone on a majo ael says that s(he) is trying to stay underground, they're full of shit.

AOL sucks!
I ran into blackpope7(moderate rock, I wanna be a rock'n'roll star) the other day. AS we spoke, shentioned that she got a letter from some guy saying that he uploaded a zine onto SPINonline. The ziews about how AOL sucks and guess what happened? He lost his account. Now he wanted the pope to pulih nd article abotu his story. But since I write their" favorite 1minuite download" maybe they wo't are But if they kick me out, well, I'll save a shitload of money. on with the show....
America online sucks. First off are chain letters. All the time I get these stupid chain letters frpeopl eand I'm supposed to send them to twenty other people. Now, why do you need to clutter up mymibox with shit like that. Quit saying that it's been around the world six times. You don't think ha tey call this America online for nothing. Then there's AOHell. the worst program ever concieved Peplepost these disgusting mother cutdowns onto chat rooms and stuff like that and it doens't letanyoe spak it doesn't letanyone say anyhting at all. Stupid. Email bombs suck. What's the point al I hae to o is delete the mail. kinda like splashing someone who's aleady wet.
Then there's this TOS thing. It's stupid as hell. One gfuy points out the ovibous and gets kicked o I ren into this Baldie55 guy who was drawing two dogs gettin busy and on on of their collars, ti edHBJohnson. TOS is a lie made up to scare people. My sister went into kids only and told someone o hu up and she got kicked off. Know what the guy said to her? He said she was a slut.
Know what else sucks? Guides. They do these stupid thigs like " dive in \~~~~~~/ to the dip" and thsay all this crap about how people are supposed to keep it "PG rated" and stuff. When you try to isthem off, they act like it's a joke. Guides only complicate thigs and the people who get TOS bomedar the peopel who arent doing anything. They're never there when you need them. Anyone ever bee ino wite power. I got kicked off for saying I was gay. But this other guy says a bunch of racist nd hmophbic crap and nothing hapopens. Anyone ever been into the flirts nook?
There's so much sexism on AOL. When my sister goes on here, she usually gets pretty offended, so ofded, she didn't want to use a computer again. My brother logged onto a Startrek thing one time andtesubject was about who had bigger brests, Dr, Crusher or some cardassian chick. You;d never go onan se something like
KOOLTHING1 : no way, Data's got the biggest Johnson of them all
KOOLTHING2: forget you, what type of pervert would make a dick for a robot
KOOLTHING!: good point, are/sex?
KOOLTHING2 17/m
KOOLTHING1 18/m
Does somethign not seem right with AOL? TOS is a lie, Guides are a hassle, the real people never gcaught, a man who draws obscenites gets off and a guy who tells the truth loses his account.
Get off Courtney
I thumb through those little message things every once in a while. And whenever the subject of Kurt broached, I always see stuff about Courtney. Moswt of that stuff is pretty positive but more thaneogh of it is negative. Negative as in," Courtney's a whore and she put a shotgun in Kurdt's mouthan plled the trigger," or the classic,." Courtney and her dope baby shoudl be dragged out in the sree an shot" and there's so much more of this shit that it's mind boggling.
My pooint here is that I'd like to tell all these assholes who hate Courtney and slag on her and thgo into seclusion with their playboys to fuck off. Without Courtney, Kurt would have pulled the trge long ago. Don't give me this "married him for the money" shit either. She loved him. I want thsepeple to leave courtney alone and if you don't have anyhting nice to say shut up. ( there goes Pn Kp Kew).
I read this artice I got off SPINonline and it was really touching. It was about Courtney in the ladays of her husband's life. She was getting Kurt made into a Stupa. You know, a buddist god? His lc will be Nirvana and he will be a minor god. Courtney cares enough about him to go thruogh all hi touble. But I guess she'd care about anyone that way too.
Everyone who says stuff about CL really doesn't know a damn thing about her. She's really talented,telligent, (bruatlly) honest and lots more. She isn't riding Kurt's coattials. I think, carrerwis,se'd be better off without Kurt. Billy Corgan once comapred her to Patti Smith, saying that they ot hve the same amount of raw talent and that Courtney can be just as influental.
Stop harrassing her! Just stop. All the people say these thing out of ignorance and I suggest you r both of the Endless Love articles on the spin thing then. If you don't argee with me then, you'reattal pouser so go out and buy all the green day cds the store has. Then an offspring shirt. Have nceday:)
Oh yeah, II I ever find the shithead hwo threw shotgun shells at Courney, I'm going to find out wheyou live who you are, then Email this all to courtney. You're gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Misf its
Earth A.D./walk amoung us
Out of all the punk rock there is, I have to say that the Misfits are the best. They were angry, sohat talented, humorus, in a twisted sort of way and some other weird crap I can't put my fingers o.
Earth A.D. opens with the title song and then goes into a screaming rant, reminiscant of Nirvanva'sourtetes". Except Glenn Danzig sing in an elvisy kind of voice and I wouldn't be suprised that the eorded in the house that Elvis' ghost was found in. Thats what it is with the Mifsits.
Vocally, Glenn outshines anyone in the punk communiuty. He signs very tonally, yet can unleash tredous anger. The only thing though, is that he'd rather sing about Marylin Monroe("Die Die Die my drig") than the government and when you hear this music, you don't think about anarchy or any otherpukythings like that. But punk is against rules, and nothing says that you can't sing about wolf'sblod o stuff like that.
The Misfits songs are almost always extremly fast. The only song where they quiet things down is bl fest. If you've ever heard the Samhian remixes of some of these tunes, you'll get and idea of wha Boodfest" sounds like. Very slow, Glenn's voice settles down from screaming like a banshhee in "ol'sblood" to a mumble of sorts.
The only thing that bugs me is the way these records sound. They sound like Land Speed Record copierom a scratchy record to a thrice recorded over tape, and I'm listening to the CD! The only low bugtrecording that sounds really good to me is Bleach. But the point to punk is to do it yourself an t mke the best with what you have. It's the music, not the sound in the end.
Walk Amoung us doesn't sound much better. But it's packed with more Misfits classics that all the or CDs combined. The melodic side and better musican ship is here also. Glenn still sings like Elvi,bt Doyle (guitar) plays faster with more vitrousity then before. The humor is present in "20 eys"an "I turned into a martian."
But the higest point on the tape is the live version of "Mommy can I go out and Kill Tonight." The inal (on EarthAD) is incoherent and full of mistakes( which pours on the excitment) but the live n s flawless and very exliterating to hear.




Hey all you little punkers, indies, noise addicts, geeks, freaks, liberals, and slackers. I got a ple of things to say. First off, Email me till Satan scores the winning goal to get his team the Saly cup, but don't send me porn pics. It really pisses me off I wont name names, Manson1009, but Igo sme others and stuff.
I hope JD Considine reads this zine...
Well that's all for now, kisses
