CARD GAMES ROCK

First-- NUCLEAR WAR. This is a card/board game that originated in the '70s I think. First there was Nuclear War, then there was another edition called Nucler Escalation, and finally Nuclear Proliferation. The best way to play is with all three editions put together and a whole mess of people. It sucks that each edition is like $15 or $20, but if you really wanna play, I've got two editions and If there are a a bunch of people who wanna play, it's cool to just play with two of the sets.

The basic setup is you get cards with some number of people on them and some cards with bombs and stuff. Then everyone takes turns nuking each other until one person is victorious. It's almost as much fun as burning someone with a cigarette at Emo's.

SATANS Brock Hunter Heath & Sean Vylent

I just got home from the Satans' show (Emo's 9/2) an I feel like I been rode hard and put up wet. The show rocked and it was cool to see everybody get so fucking riled up. I thought I was gonna get killed and it was a good thing Hunter was wearing his protective eyewear...

Next week they're playing with Pork and then having a party the next night at Todd-n-Brock's. Susan said that she'd buy a keg if they ever got around to having the damn party. Now she says she might get two! The Satans are great to see in that shed at T&B's. That's where they had their very first show. They are fucking ROCK STARS!! (You really get this time warp feeling when you see them.)

Interview next issue.

Nyah, look what I --> swiped from Emo's one alcoholic nite. The Satans're the new shit 'round town, together w/ Big Horny Hustler, and could give the MC5 a run for their money. Basically, Kids Meal plus a singer, they tear up the stage w/ short songs a la Teengenerat e but they don't sound generic after 1/2 a set.

Uh, sorry Dave.

Well, I'm sittin' at home at 12:30 on a friday night brooding. I just got kicked out of Emo's (along with my friend Steve) by some bastard who was just doing his job - fucker! Yeah, I know I shouldn't have ben drinking, but fuck, couldn't he have just taken my beer & made me wear a dunce cap or something? I was there to see the Grifters, my favorite band in the universe. Couldn't his have happened some other time? FUCK! I'm so pissed. Ok, thanx for listening. (Oh, and you, you COMMIE BASTARD MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE, if you are reading this, I want you to know I'm gonna carry this to my fucking grave and I hope you reach yours soon.)

interview by susan and steve @ Emo's in August 1995 some of the questions are ours; some are from a psychiatrist's questioning of an alleged victim of satanic ritual abuse.

GW: I want to know if you've had any interesting encounters with the law in Texas. Hugh: We got pulled over the first time we came here for speeding. It was kind of a speed trap. Anne: It's not all that interesting. Hugh: Yeah. All it was, we came over a hill and Paul, our first drummer, was driving. Was it early in the morning? I think it was. Anne: We'd driven all night. Brian: I thought that was interesting, to me, just because I had been one of the last people driving and I hadn't slept all night, and that whole road on Highway 10, I guess, for many hours was littered with deer and there were deer corpses all over the place. So, by the time this policeman stopped us, I was out of my mind, and he could have easily been anything other than a policeman, too. I couldn't tell what was going on at all. Anne: And we looked like we had been up all night, too, really scruffy and unwashed. I'm really surprised he didn't just tell us to follow him to the police station. 'Cause I've heard that happens, or else they try to get money out of you on the spot, or they run you out of town. GW: Do you have an opinion on whether or not electroconvulsive therapy is good therapeutic practice when used by a licensed psychiatrist? Hugh: I've heard that it's not. I've heard that it's a bad thing
