F890! Review! Review! Review! Yes stir, yes mam, tell me the history of a F890ing / <----muscle d'amour.... [warning warning warning, if you haven't seen OBJECT REFUSE REJECT ABUSE a song by DIRT] You either werent' looking, I missed it on annada account and you did, or xomeone don't think you should see it, not me, nope, not me...]..... OK! Time for the official, er offal, INVALID, UNCONCIOUS, A{hole}STORICAL...DOPE!!!!!!! [mmmm, mmmmm]

PYGMY LOVE CIRCUS, didn't draw enough volks to fill a taxi tonight...that's the bad news, the good news is they pretty much kicked... Ze vidcam, that's vidcamra, fer you exspurts... Mighta kicked em in ze back of ze midcenterbodies or the very lively fanz they managed to corral mighta booted em ze pants, SOMETHING LIKE THAT OK>.... Make me worry a band that one night, whence I'm expecting something killer falls flatter then a nailess HEAD, and whince it looks like a total washout, miserable, nohome, expecting a drubbing away, almost left, kicks bashing booty, ya gotta wonder ya know, meks me nervous... BUT ME ALWAYS be nervoos.

ZE DOPE. PYGMY LOVE CIRCUS, no kilts tonight, pretty much loosened like goosees, and jam bang, done didn't do half a bad job, of kicking up ze dust.. At times more metal then I'm apt to accept, [still perty kickin tho], at times, just done having a good time....PLC was a good show... Grooving, und laying it down, sucking up the CB's air, they got me moving closer und closer to that stage... Und I wuz, and is, a bit tiraid... Just yet, nothing to kill over, and maybee nothing to maim over, but in a nice homey spot, definately xomething to give a good checkzeout.... OK, the fact that they bashed an empty club, with a few very enthusiastic volks is a bit termpered cause of ze incestous/industry [where do theeze volks come from] feel of the miniscule scene, it wuz still pretty well impressive.... Good stuff...

All in all, they were a different band then ze one that played the limelight, all doubts that mighta been raised seeing them there, are well put to bed. If they get a real core following, one that really shines, THEY *DO* KICK SERIOUSLY...Watch yer stray braincells! Find em, hang wit em, let em do it up, you just might not be sorry, it's worth ze risk! Go ELP! <hih ze hih, ho!>...

oK, this time for real... PERE UBU..... Less ballistic, more subtle, playing zere touch quite a bit more then they have the last 3 or 4 times they've been through, put together a sweet set, of sublime pleasure... Working around a visually miserable spot, Village Gate, with huge columns, and a large amount of tables, which well accomodates about 79% of the audiance, but leaves the rest, like me und C, scrounging fer a *half* way decent line of sight...They done grooved it out, like only they know how to do it... Acoustic Final Solution made me, jump back, hmmm, mmmm. And 30 seconds of 30 seconds over tokyo [really, 30 seconds exactly] were refreshing fer me at this point, they had been straight out rocking in past, the rest of their scene shone through, and wuz just as well as their b-b-b-b more bashing sets.... PERE UBU, definately a complete picture... Waiting For Mary.... and all that good stuff... they pick ya up and put ya down to ze down und dirty.... touching base with the back of your mind, whether you've got a grasp of Moleculer History or not! [wooooo woooooo]....PERE UBU, makes it happen, and when they show in yer home town, *will* be required presence...... They kick, and they grove, they've been too long on the fire, there time is hear...KILLER! Talented! Spirited! Ballistic! [in their own weird way..."you don't have to be wierd to be wired"...] I done damn dig em!

Stay tuned, fer ze surprize MDAkeover! [something to do with blood/and or/ Satan, mebbe a cow... Break up thees F890ing bill... IN STEREO fer ze Deaf!]
