< Peter Alfke asks about Sonic Youth albums >
I'm not sure what you mean about the centerfold, but if you were looking
in Poo Bah, it probably was the Death Valley '69 12" (which I don't have).
EVOL is fine if you can't get Bad Moon Rising. It's more, um, accessible
(there's another reason, but I'm getting ahead of myself...)

< Music to read Ballard by >
There's a song on EVOL about a car crash (kinda) that has Thurston Moore
chanting wild lyrics over great distorted music. First time I heard that
I thought: Wow! A song to read Ballard's CRASH by! Actually it's a little
too intense to have on when reading...

< A comic to read when listening to Bauhaus >
Just picked up this curious campy looking B&W comic called Samurai #7
(yes, it looks corny). The art is decent atmospheric stuff; plot is
either a vague, Ramsey Campbell-style horror moodpiece, or diffuse
artsy garbage, depending on what your tastes are. There's a character
who's obviously supposed to be Peter Murphy, and one of the audience
in a concert scene wears a Bauhaus t-shirt. There are extended quotes
from William Burroughs and the Hollow Men. All kind of atmospheric,
a little pretentious, and good campy fun, perfect for closet Bauhaus
fans.
