The next time we saw him, we were drunk, Sean and Larry and I, and for some reason I knew immediately that it was the same guy. Same tattered clothing, same demonic and doe-like eyes. It was on one ofthe backs treets down in the east end. He was sitting on a doorstep, leaning back into the jamb, ignoring the few people still scuttling from bar to bar. I stopped in front of him, emboldened by the booze, and assumed me best generic-50's-actor voice. "Say, haven't I seen you somewhere before?" He looked at me with this terrible dignity, closed his eyes and nodded twice, then opened them and said "Yeah." And there it was again. I was rooted in front of this guy. It wasn't as dramatic as all that — I stood there, smoking, feeling the fullness of my bladder, maybe even tapping my toe a bit, but I couldn't leave until something more had passed between us. Larry and Sean were fidgeting in the fringes of my peripheral vision, smoking a joint or something, but I stood and waited. The bum sat there motionless, looking at me. I could hear the streetlight buzzing behind me, and a siren far off, wailing in rhythm with music from a bar down the street. The bastard wouldn't say anything. He wouldn't ask me. The last time I saw him was weeks later. I hadn't thought about the guy since the I Morning After that night in the east end. Just another of those odd, drunken standoffs. Random encounters on the street. In weak moments, hungover maybe, with the toxins in | my bloodstream short-circuiting my ability to think rationally, I was prone to the feeling . that there was some pattern to these encounters, some intricate network of connections that I was tantalizingly close to grasping. If I mentioned it to any of my friends, they'd assume I was talking about God or determinism or something, and take the opportunity to ha­ rangue me with one of their pet theories. I was walking past an alleys near the spot where I'd seen him last, weeks ago, and saw a kid with a shaven head furiously kicking at a bundle of rags. The ragpile seemed to be bleeding. I ran with a shout into the passage, and after one last swing of his boot, the kid bounded away. Even as I rushed up to the i bloodied old man, I knew who , it would be. He looked up as I bent over him, and even with ' the blood and pain I could tell | that he recognized me. This , time there was no contest be­ tween us, and before I could say anything, he asked. ' "Help," he said to me.

King Missile and Bong- water have sold more than that, G war also. So Gwar left the label. King Missile left the label and, well, Bongwater is Kramer's band. DISCORDER: So does everyone in all of these bands know each other? John: Not really. I don't know the Gwar people.

He needed a gui­ tarist so he asked me to join Bongwater. DISCORDER: How did the Adantic deal happen? Did you pursue that or...? John: Well, we were sending tapes to various labels last year. There was an A&R person at Adantic records who liked us so within in five months we had a deal.

CHAPTER II BY ADAM SLOAN Uh, so you're wondering "what tha hell is a DJ Soundwar?" Well git this y'all. Let's go way, way, way, way back before Shaft with a mic in the Mack, oops, I mean to the year 1990, A.D. around June, when things were starting to come together for the now legendary DJ Soundwar, chapter one. It was the product of a few hard-workin' members of this here radio station CiTR, who wanted to provide an outlet for local rappers, DJ's rap crews, and dancers to work it out in front of an audience. It all culminated in two frenzied days of activity, August 31 and September 1 with all the hippest hip-hop addicts in Vancouver checkin' out what was goin' down in their own city. There were also a few imports fromSeattl e and even farther down the American coast, doin' their dang for the prizes and the fun. A good time was had by all, no doubt! Looking back, it wasn't really important who won, as everybody that entered won by finding out that they weren't alone and friendships were struck everywhere. Chapter n should give us the opportunity to see some new Vancouver rap talent, as well as being able to check out how last year's contestants have progressed. As well, this year promises more prizes for contestants and the audience, a large video screen, and the first-ever Graffiti Clash. There will also be a DJ equipment exhibition with tons of the latest mixers, turntables, and a few demonstrations by MR. Control from MuchMusic Extendamix. So if you 're down with rap, you just gotta be at the SUB Ballroom out here at U.B .C, 6pm Saturday September 14 and Sunday, September 15 for CiTR DJ Soundwar Chapter n, along with thousands of other people chillin' to da hip-hop beat.
