MILES AHEAD IN REGGAE MUSIC OPEN EACH NIGHT FROM 9:30 pm -1:30 am OPEN WEEKDAYS FROM 11:30 am GERARD COSLOY FROM MATADOR LABEL/CONFLICT Let's just say that he's an amazing guy and we're worried about him. He's definitely someone who can still keep writing about music and you know where he's coming from. He said a bunch of nasty things about Fugazi that ruffled a lot of feathers but other than OVERKILL that I can't think of anything he's said that was way out of line. Gerard just did a column on us in the Village Voice for the new album and we were really happy with that.
STRAIGHTEDGE Well, I mean we're definitely not gonna discourage kids from being drug free. Christ, we're too fucked up to argue with them. Just y'know... let those who choose not to do drugs work the computers and we'll play the music and paint pictures. But we're not saying it's a real bad thing. Fugazi are great and they're supportive of the whole scene, I mean they're into the Didjits y'know and half the Didjits' songs are about popping too many pills and sleeping in your own piss.
VILLAGE VOICE Practically dictates what's happening musically-1 mean, they really know what's going on.
70S MUSIC Talking to us about Kiss as an influential part of 70s music is like talking basic addition with a mathematician who is currently writing his thesis. As far as I'm concerned, people don't listen to enough Hot Chocolate. Soul is good. Mostly we listen to the obscure stuff.
FUN THINGS TO DO IN VANCOUVER (Some stuff about a girl on acid falling out of a truck and it being a "steak and eggs kinda momin" at 4:30pm) We also go to strip bars, I mean not as tourists but as total fans. The strippers here are athletic champions with not routines but performances that our own act could probably benefit from. A strip act in the States is just like some white trash down on her luck whose had a couple of kids and gets beaten with a broken beer bottle by her biker boyfriend every couple of weeks. Here it's an art y'know, we're notyelling baby or shower or nothin'.
LARGELY PISSED OFF ABOUT We have the best press, I don't understand it because every time we go into a town where were getting it we go into the record stores and our albums aren't there. That's really frustrating: ifs frustrating for us and ifs frustrating for the people that are getting into us.
BEING WHITE GUYS Although we listen to a lot of black music we definitely think that the thing with white guys trying toac t black is pretty stale. We are hard line drivin' rock'n'roll 'coz it all boils down to makin' the kids happy. That's what we're here for.
TV Let's keep this to music, so many fucking bands are talking about TV now with the Partridge Family and all that shit, Christ, who cares? I mean Michael Landon is dying and he's struggling to survive and that's what is important. We wrote him a note to let him know we're with him and everything, although Highway to Heaven isn't our favourite product of his work, ifs definitely a thoroughly misunderstood show.

They looked great, just like dates, and I should know I waited long enough for them to "freshen up." The members of CHICAGO COMIC SCENE Urge Overkill are fascinated by the artistic use of stupid business related sayings (ie, "gone The back of Supersonic Sfcvyboo/cwas done by this guy Daniel Clowes of Fantagraphics books. He does a tri-annual comic called Eight Ball and we read it, worshipped the guy, fishing," "out of time") and impressed that you can buy single cigarettes here (although I looked him up and found out that he lived a block and a half away from us.
