The candles have been blown out, and l^e cake's all gone, but its true, DISCORDER is now two years old. And if we may engage in a little teary-eyed sentimentalism we'd like to thank some people whose efforts allowed this bastard child of CITR Radio to make it this far. We would, of course, like to thank you, our readers, for simply picking up the magazine. But also for providing support and criticism as the magazine grew. We'd like to thank our advertisers, whose financial support has allowed us to continue publishing without applying to the CIA for funding as a front organization. Thanks to everyone who's ever submitted anything to DISCORDER, whether we've used it or not. And Special Thanks to Mike Mines and Jennifer Fahrni, who founded The Rag, and to Michael Shea, Jeff Kearney, and Fiona MacKay, who edited it along the way. Now that that bit of gushing is done with, you may turn the page and read the rest of the paper. DISCORDER a guide to CITR 1m 102 cable 100 February 1985

Also it has (they repeated two of the Jimmy Cliff numbers to "pad" a picture of Agnetha. it), but it's still an ideal reggae sampler. Laurie Anderson - Big Science. Mr. Heartbreak is more Bad Manners - Forging Ahead. I've heard this one a musical, while Big Science is more the intellectual of million times and will listen to it a million more. Need her two albums. It says more about America than all at least 5 copies of it. Great beer drinking music, not of Frank Zappa's records put together. to mention moonstomping. Ry Cooder - Chicken Skin Music. A great blend of R&B, Tex-Mex, and Hawaiian that is infinitely superior Pierre Henry - Ceremony. Music by Pierre and Gary to his slicker, more recent releases. Superbly played, Wright of Spooky Tooth. Good to hammer spikes into but relaxed, it's a good Sunday afternoon record. your head by, or perfect for recreational drugs. J.S.

Don't ask me about the tenets of record. To make matters worse, he thinks "Hyp teen angst overdrive to hit these parts since the Neoism; they seem to inspire a Krishna-like con notize" is such a great song that he's deigned Modernettes Teen City EP.

I wasn't inspired to go out and shoot a video or anything. FUNKMEISTER - Wardance/Battlebeat Plagiarism is not an ignoble pursuit within the context of pop music, but those who steal clum sily should be indicted. Given that, Funkmeister ought to be sentenced to life in prison for just plain lazy larceny. Nothing more than another dance floor history lesson a la Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Two Tribes." Think of it—learning all about World War II while writhing down at the discoteque. Kinda like falling asleep on top of a book. A must for Neville Chamberlain fans.
