The opinions expressed in this
Newspaper are those of the
contributing writers and are not
necessarily those of the publishers.
Dearest Dickheads,
It's all an accident, you know.
None of it means anything or has
any significance beyond simple
cause and effect. It's all a big glop
of chaos that we've imposed a veil
of order upon.
There is no God, no Allah, no
synchronicity, no implicate order.
It's just accident after brutal accident, coincidence after meaninglesscoincidence.Any meaningthat
we put on it (outsidephysical connection) is a lie to make the whole
thing seem barable. Even normal.
You only live once, so get rich
and enjoy it. As we live the lives
we'verandomly inherited, the only
guideline is Do What Thou Wilt.
Any conformity to Their laws
makes no sense. We will live our
finite lives within the boundlessness of infinity, die, and then cease
to exist. There's no point in wondering what the world will be like
after we're gone. Or before we got
here. There is only Now.
Nope, no Tao, no Fountainhead, no "One." Just this. That's it.
Don't ask, "Why?" Don't worry
about it. Just live out your biological accident of a life, and die.

Dear Dickheads
Thanks for the cover story on
Fractal Method. We hope that folks
will come see us at the upcoming
Pompadour gig.
One minor correction. Fractal
Method has never been nor probably ever will be considered by
A&M. The original copy alluded
to consideration by major label
A&R - Artists & Repertoire, ie.,
talent scouts.
We remain flattered by the inaccuracy, however.

A big applause goes out to all

the artist, Bohemia
put forth their rhythmic, sensual array of
aural stimulus with
professional ease and
sincerity. Local to the Salt Lake
scene, this tenacious groupof individuals has been creating musical
imagery sincetheband'sinception
in the summer of 1987. Having
performed in nearly twenty clubs
and at several area benefits,
Bohemia areclearly a popular and
influencia1band, here in the land
of Zion.
Russ Eastland, vocalist, guitarist,andpoeticvisionaryis theprime
mover of the band. His expressive
imagery, through lyrical resonances, is at once emotional and
emditious,fusingvariouselements
of poetry and symbolism.Russ uses
his voice as an instument in itself,
dreamily harmonizing with his
colorful, powerful, and at times,
experimental style of guitar work,
which incorporates moving, melodic passages, colorful chordal
voicing and harmonics based on
no other method than the ear of
artistand physiologicalability.Soft
spoken, yet clever and intelligent,
Russ carries his years profoundly.
His lyrics and poetry speak of
pleasure and pain and are an ambiguous, thoughtful reflection of
the mind of their mater. Various
illuminations shine through in
perka synergy with the musical
in the Colour Theory and
Shadowplay, one can quickly d e
duce that Van really enjoys playing the drums.
Blair plays with style and energy,complementarytoVan'aand
Russ's, and his jazzy,liquidphrasing completes the Bohemia sound.
As a trio, Bohemia perform with
a presence that is both authoritative and friendly. Their music has
the feel of high energy jazz; funky
and melodic with interesting tonal
coloring.
The band played, most recently, ,
at the Sabbathon, which is where I
had thegood fortune of experienc
ing their show and later meeting
Russ, whenceforth I proceeded to
interview hi.It was more l i i a
philosophical potpourri than a
music interview. We talked, not
only about his musical d i i o n ,
but also many othertopics, suchas
politics, religion, sex, drugs, and
rock-n-roll. (This portion of the inteniew has, however, been censored.) Since we were at the
Sabbothon, I asked him what his
feelings were about racism. He replied, "We are a l l part of the human condition!' We then talked
about the negative effects of discrimination and prejudice. Russ
also made a comment about the
positive side of the issue. What
could be positive about racism? It
had occurred to me that much ap
ativityisbornofsuffering,butRuss
stated it very pointedly by saying,
"The trinity of muses are agony, '
agony, and agony. The most divine poet swillexistinhell." Amen.
Bohemia will be releasinga disk
shortly and we can all exped the
best from this unique phenomenon.

In addition to contemporary influences, classical music and jazz
have found their way into Russ's
psyche, His poetical4nterests are
diversified, as well. He cites

an upcoming show, I wanna
know about it. So please send
any cool stuff my way to:
NEWS, BLUES AND RMEWS
Howdy boys n' girls and
welcome to another installment
of the Rockabilly news from
around the country. I'm starting to think that there might be
some hope for a cool Rockabilly
scene here in Salt Lake after all.
While it might be a little early
for the local drug stores to start
stocking up on Royal Crown,
some hot bands and cool new
albums in my juke box to keep
all you Cats n' Kittens' fingers
snappin', and toes a' tappin'.
On Tuesday night, July
23rd, I headed on down to The
Bar and Grill private club to
hear a new local Rockabilly
band. When I got to the Bar and
Grill my heart nearly skipped a
beat a s I saw the words
"Rockabilly Night," printed
right up on the marque. Right
away I knew I was in for a good
night. I stepped inside the club
to see the gear of the "Dead
Cats," set up right on the stage.
Ifelt like I was back home again
as I saw the rebel flag flying
behind the stage, and an old
dog house upright bass sitting
in front of the two piece drum
kit. Needless to say, I was beginning to get stoked.
The "Dead Cats" opened
their set with a nice and raw
cover of Gene Vincent's classic
"Be-Bop-A-Lula." From there
on, the set consisted entirely of
classic covers ranging from
Eddie Cochran to the Cramps,
and everywhere in between.
When the Cats hit into a rockin'
cover of "The Mule Skinner
Blues," then I knw that these
boys were on the right track.
While I have to say that a set
consisting entirely of covers can
get a little old, in the Dead
Cat's defense this was only their
second gig, and they still managed to rock the joint. Give
these guys a couple of months
to polish their sound, and to
start writing some original
music, and the Cats'll be a trio
to be reckoned with. All in all,
a great evening of rockabilly.
My hat's off to Chris, Steve,
StevieRay and all the catsat the
Bar and Grill for having theguts
to put on aRockabilly night. To
those of you missed the show,
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR! Get out to the clubs and
catch the best live form of rock
n' roll in the world: RED HOT
ROCKABILLY! If you wanf to
catch the Dead Cats live in the
future, they'll be playin' alot of
gigs around the Salt Lake area
in the coming months. Check
'em out!
New in my jukebox this
month are a couple rockin' albums to keep earballs poppin'.
The first is a two-CD set from
Rhino Records called: "Rock
This Town, Rockabilly Hits vol.
#1 and #2." This two-CD set is
a must for anybody who wants
to know what real rock n' roll is
all about. This collection has it
all, from Gene Vincent and
Eddie Cochran to the Blasters
and Robert Gordon. Whether
you've been into Rockabilly for
years,or you're just gettinginto
this great music, this collection
is a must.
Second on my list is another
release from the great Rhino
Records. The Beat Farmers:
Glad nlGreasy. This album is a
new release of a bunch of songs
the band recorded in England
back in 1985, while the great
Buddy Blue was still with the
band. The Beat Farmers keep
the tradition of great San Diego
rock n' roll bands alive with this
smokin' album. My favorite
cutsare "Powderfinger," agreat
cover of the old Neil Young
song, and "Beat Generation,"
sung by the great Country Dick
Montana. This album definitely
gets my great seal of approval,
so check it out.
Back to the local scene.
Since. Salt Lake's Rockabilly
scene is still pretty small, I'd
like to hear from any of you
local cats who have something
cool going on. If you're in a
band, have a tape you want re-

Last, but not least, for those
of you just getting into
Rockabiilly music, or for those
of you who just want to know,
here's my own personal
Rockabilly top ten, just like
you'd get on Letterman.

The Works of Sam Raimi
stephen King once pronounced c l i v e ~~~k~~as his
successor, calling him the future of horror.
Of course, I take exception especially with as unintentionally bad
ashis"HeUraiser" films haveturned
out. Instead, let me nominate Sam
Raimi in his place.
The relatively young American director has worked with the
multi-talented Coen brothers. Since
his first feature in 1983, Raimi has
built a loyal following because of
his penchants for including goo &
gore and using camera angles so
skewed thefd give the late Alfred
Hitchcock a migraine headache.
Here's a quick roundup of Raimi's
career:

ridiculously low budget, this
schlocky stock-in-trade: style over

'srecommendation fool youm startsslowly, but ends with

Louise, we seem to be finding a
wide divergence of opinion ranging from "1 loved it" to "I feel that
themessagesput fortharenegative
and anti-societal." Those who
didn't like the "messages" seem
reluctant tocome right out and say
that they didn't like the film and,
instead, hark on the themes that
they feel are or could bedetrimental, such as portraying Thelmaand
Louise (Gina Davis and Susan
Sarandon, respectively) as glorified, gun-toting outlaws and
drunken drivers who get the male
antagonists - most of whom are
portrayed as authoritarian, supermasculine rat bastards (1 believe
"male sexism" is the proper term
here). There is also the anti-establishment message in the reason
why Thelma and Louise became
fugitives, in the first place. They
don't trust the criminal justice
system. Louise, who has had some
kind of past experience with rapists and thelaw (thedetails are left
ambiguous) explains her reluci tance to turn herself in, to the conscientious local sheriff (Harvey
Keitel). She Sites "body cavity

Thelma flirts with an arrogant ladies man. Sheis tired of being subjected by her husband, who we

Her rebellion against the conventional life he has led is, however,
