De cavalcade of stars...ooooooo........and in the white with black spotted dress, Kim Gordon...ooooooo......(whispers, look, is that Kim Gordon)........ Must be, there's Thruston Moore! And what do you know. The greatest and bestest new band around Sonic Youth, still finds time in their hectic schedule to keep dose ears openski, and check out the sounds around town. Not from backstage, well there ain't no backstage in CBGB's, but from the floor de la dance. I mean, we coulda, and mighta, and woulda, walked up to the happy couple and asked them, hey, The Jesus Lizard is ex- rapeman folks, do *you* think they do Kim Gordon's Panties! We didn't, smart volks that *we* be. The question still remains, was they there to see The Jesus Lizard, [ one kicking killer let's get it rolling steampushing bandski! dey be ex-Rapeman but not Steve Albini, after the initial dissapointment, and all the dumb volks who thought it might be left, The Jesus Lizard kicked kicked und edearearea4effa8-ED! They were "here, dere, und everywhere!" Noise noise und alkafeqare! So the singer is a dwarf, and with the ALBINI edge they woulda totally and absolutely romped. Instead they totally romped romped und plugged dis band from Richmond Virginy, Breadwinner, who didn't sing, instrumental mayhem, und noisehem, und totally gnarly, snearing, mindf***ing, madness! The house was empty by now of piples, but sound likeundwise, twas a full house! Grinding heavy noise, with severe body englais produced some kicking killer. Which brings us to the last of de Cavalcade of de stars, who should be amongst the 20 or 30 volks who struck aroundtown to see, de Breadwinners! But Klint Scraping Jim Ruin From the FEOTUS off De Bus Thirwell, Inc.! Seemingly Drawn by The Jesus Lizard, Mr. Ruin aka Mr.Thirwell, aka FEOTUS, was bopping head to the Breadwinner beat, beat, beat. I feel like some Society page Droid, here YIKES! ] So where be was I before de brackats? Oh yeah, was Sonic Youth volks dere to see The Jesus Lizard, or be they there to see, Springhouse?

Springhouse. The drummer of whom hapened to be, Jack RABID. Once eyes ears und throat of de NY punk scene, then DJ extroudinaire. Mr Rabid, once of 'Even Worse', of whom Said thruston Moore, was guitarist, finds himself now in de Utterly [and we ain't talking cows] mediocre DB Gangly geetar, Springhouse. Well was it The Jesus Lizard, or coming to see Jack that Sonic Youth be dere, und not at some Madonna pronographic video screeming, screening! Who cares. WHO CARES! Nada one de life de piple. The Jesus Lizard, kareened and karromped, the Springhouse, a flat and de blumped, 'Loudspeaker' was dark und dungeony, hellish, 'metal', und I use dat terminatim lightly. Loudspeaker was pretty well kicking, and a nice aftereffect for The Jesus Lizard, who slowly but surely rolled into a blast! Where's STeve? We still be waiting for that magic! Und last but least (twas a good lineup, then again, twasn't, make that last but better den Springhouse) twas from richmond virginy, with feotus amongst the ruins, und a bunch of seemingly busdriven fans (they smiled too much, just wasn't smilen music, ya know) BREADWINNER [get a vocalist guys], who brought new meaning to Instru-MENTALS! Good good good, und good stuffems! Be dere, or be hair! Word two, oo.
