News from that bastion of Eurodisco, WaxTrax! in Chicago.

straight from the horse's mouth, Jim Nash (the owner, sorry for dropping
 names)

--Just completed last night (Mar 30), new track by Pailhead.  Who is
 Pailhead?
  They are Ian McKaye (ex-Minor Threat, Egg Hunt), Naked Raygun's drummer and
  the bassist from the Blackouts.  Produced by Al (I'm a real dick)
 Jourgenson,
  which should make for an interesting sound.

--Watch for a new single by Fini Tribe (Fini Tribe only previously available
 on
  Cathexis/UK).  Their import single got great reviews from WARD and
 Rockpool.
  "Music for the 90's," or something like that.

--Just signed -- Laibach.  Yes, those crazy Czechs (?) have a new album out
  with one bitchin' Queen cover.  Most danceable thing they've ever done.

--New Front 242 album (_Official Version_) and new Revolting Cocks 12" ("You
  Often Forget") both out and are hot.  Front 242 have lost some of their
  harder edge, though, a little more 'mersh.  But they do have two non-dance
  tracks, though, which are pretty cool.

--Animal Liberation compilation.  I am opposed to the very concept of this
  album, as the Animal Liberationists are a bunch of terrorists, but the
  record's O.K.  Very poppy for WaxTrax.  The Chris & Cosey and Luc van
  Acker tracks stand out, but I've only heard it once or twice.  Lene Lovich
  and Nena Hagen make me want to puke ("Be a vegetarian/Be anti
 vivisection").
  If we were meant to eat animals, they would grow on trees. :-)

quote from Jim Nash:  "Hell, remember that video we shot of Al (Jourgenson)
and Richard 23 in the shower?  It brings a whole new meaning to the term
Revolting Cocks."
