  • INITIALS C.C. Liner Notes
    Chris Connelly : INITIALS C.C. Out-takes, Rarities and Personal Favourites 1982-2002 vol.1 01. Detestimony – Fini Tribe: This was the “A” side of an EP called “Let the Tribe Grow,” written and recorded when the Fini Tribe was going through great musical changes. We had acquired an Ensoniq ‘Mirage’ sampling keyboard, and as was the same for a lot of bands at the time, it changed everything, opened up a lot of doors, and led us into some very uncharted waters. The actual piece was whittled down from a fifteen-minute opus we had written. I remember being in Philip Pinsky’s bedroom one night with John Vick. Philip’s then-roommate, Lindsay, gave us an old quarter-inch reel of tape he had. On it was a beautiful recording of the church bells you hear on the song; we sampled them and came up with the melody. The EP actually did better than any of us had anticipated and became a sort of hit in the Ibiza clubs at the very advent of the acid house/rave phenomenon. We actually went ahead and re-wrote/re- structured the song for the WaxTrax! Records release (“Make it Internal/Detestimony Revisited”) a couple of years later. 02. Mania – Murder Inc.: Certainly what I feel is the most compelling song on the one and only album released by Murder Inc. The band was basically Killing Joke, minus Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke’s singer), plus me, as well as the original drummer, Paul Fergusson, and newer drummer, Martin Atkins. The sessions took place at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota during September of 1991.

Hoeflin in 1982. The 606 Society (6 in 106), founded by Christopher Harding, was incorporated into the new society and those with IQ scores on the Langdon Adult Intelligence Test (LAIT) of 173 or more were also invited to join. (The LAIT qualifying score was subsequently raised to 175; official scoring of the LAIT terminated at the end of 1993, after the test was compromised). A number of different tests were accepted by 606 and during the first few years of Mega’s existence. Later, the LAIT and Dr. Hoeflin’s Mega Test became the sole official entrance tests, by vote of the membership. Later, Dr. Hoeflin's Titan Test was added. (The Mega was also compromised, so scores after 1994 are currently not accepted; the Mega and Titan cutoff is now 43—but either the LAIT cutoff or the cutoff on Dr. Hoeflin’s tests will need to be changed, as they are not equivalent.) Mega publishes this irregularly-timed journal.

Jim Carroll, 1998 If Jim Carroll had any impression of me, it was as a drinking buddy of his one- time Bolinas housemate, Jim Gustafson. This was in the early 1970s, after Gustafson had followed Andrei Codrescu to California from Detroit. There was a period where Jim was working in the City in a car wash down on Lombard & after work he & I would work our way through the bars between his job & the Union Street scene. We’d walk past the location where the Gallery Six reading had taken place in 1955, but neither of us were ever entirely certain of just which building it was. Invariably, we’d eat at one of the establishments & there was often live music to be heard (once even Bonnie Raitt!). After we got tired, I’d head home, walking directly up the Fillmore Street hill & then down Sacramento.

  • Contro La Musica Rock Cristiana
    Contro la musica rock 'cristiana' (ovvero la musica non è neutrale) «Il rock è sempre stato la musica del diavolo [...]. Credo che il rock sia pericoloso [...]. Sento che stiamo solamente annunciando qualcosa di più oscuro di noi stessi» (David Bowie, cantante rock) «Ascoltami: il rock non è la chiesa. E' uno sporco affare. E anche tu puoi diventare sporco. Se sei una persona per bene, veramente per bene, non puoi né cantarlo né suonarlo» (Lita Ford, cantante hard rock) a cura di Giacinto Butindaro INTRODUZIONE Roma, Settembre 2011 Vista la diffusione che ha avuto fino ad ora la cosiddetta musica rock cristiana, e non solo questo tipo di musica, in mezzo alle Chiese, mi sono trovato costretto a scrivervi, fratelli, per mettervi in guardia dagli effetti deleteri sia a livello spirituale che a livello fisico che questo tipo di musica ha su coloro che la suonano e l'ascoltano. In questo mio libro ho introdotto degli scritti di altri che hanno trattato in maniera approfondita e molto documentata alcuni aspetti della musica rock; ho ritenuto opportuno farlo visto l'importanza dell'argomento. Dal canto mio, spero che coloro che in mezzo alle Chiese hanno fatto spazio a questa musica diabolica, si ravvedano e la rigettino. 2 LA MUSICA ROCK PER EVANGELIZZARE E LODARE DIO 'La musica rock (conosciuta, spesso, anche solo come rock) è un genere musicale, nato nel corso degli anni cinquanta e anni sessanta negli Stati Uniti e nel Regno Unito, che trae le sue origini nella musica dei decenni precedenti, in particolare nel rock and roll, nel rhythm and blues, nel country, con richiami di musica folk.
