(SNUFFY SMILES)

NAIVE
"Switch Blade Knaife"
MAX 5-4 cassette $7.45
Russian punk with a very heavy Sex Pistols influence; the singer often snarls exactly like Johnny Rotten. Anarchy in the USSR? God save Gorby?? Produced with and benefitting the Moscow Rock Laboratory, an organization of their more uncommercial artists. (MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL)

SKIP 76-2 CD $10.50
The 3rd and final installment of NAKED AGGRESSION reissues from Broken Records, this is NOT to be confused with "March March Alive."

NAKED CITY
"Radio"
AVAN 003-2 CD $19.55
Though they don't outright say so, I'd guess the 19 songs here, ranging from jazz to various varieties of rock (all fairly twisted, by the way) were inspired by stuff heard on the radio. Cited inspirations range from Conway Twitty to Agnostic Front. Eclectic and definitely swinging. Japanese import. (AVANT)

NAKED CITY
"Torture Garden"
SHIMMY 39-4 cassette $7.10
Psycho gung-fu jazz spun by the likes of John Zorn, Fred Frith, Yamatsuka Eye, Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz and Joey Baron. 21 short, sharp, white-hot splinters of pure, panting let-it-all-hang-out. This one screams. (SHIMMY DISC)

NARAM SIN
"Daisies"
SMALL 11-1 LP $7.80
The first album from one of those obscure but very creative Colorado industrial outfits. These folks use tapes, metal percussion, vocals and conventional instumentation to form dreamlike soundscapes that seem to emanate directly from the unconscious. (SMALL TOOLS TRADITION)

NASTROND 666
"Age of Fire"
NPR 025-2 CD $13.80
A killer sophomore effort from these Swedish heavyweights. A blasting, evil, perverted celebration of militant satanic grind and atmospheric black metal with military fanfare, steeped in obscure Egyptian mythology. The last 2 ambient/spoken word tracks present a surprise ending that is sure to delight followers of LaVeyan satanism. Austrian import. (NAPALM)

NASTROND 666
"Toteslaut"
NPR 015-2 CD $13.80
Elite black metal from Sweden, heavy in to Egyptian demonology and death heads, and heavy, brutal and dark like Darkthrone, this is a classic, extremely evil sound, recommended for those who like it raw and thrashy. Austrian import. (NAPALM)

NATIVE NOD
"Lower G.I. Bleed"
GERN 24-7 7" $4.00
Two songs written before the "Bread" 7" but recorded later, showing off their patented angst-driven, nervous anger and introspection. (GERN BLANDSTEN)

NATIVE NOD
"self titled"
GERN 4-7 7" $4.00
Good 'n crunchy, semi-melodic hardcore from New Jersey. The singer sounds like he's been in psychoanalysis most of his life. (GERN BLANDSTEN)

NATO / ROE DAE WOO
"Split EP"
BCR 029-7 7" $3.65
Punk is alive and well in Armenia, and here's the proof. Nato does a charming ska-punk tune, complete with sax and keyboards. Roe Dae Woo's "Tanks," not for the faint of heart, is a really raw live take where the levels go up and down with wild abandon. (BEER CITY)

NAUTICAL ALMANAC
"self titled"
HN 014-1 LP $8.40
A basement filled with wires, fishfinders and other shit makes up the props for this year-long collection of improvised "songs." Moldy silk screened covers, no two are alike. Torso plus Caroliner? (HANSON)

NECESSARY EVILS
"Thrill Pill"
CRYPT 059-7 7" $3.80

NECESSARY EVILS, THE
"Stay Away From Me"
ITR 057-7 7" $4.00
Two new poundings from the reigning kings of over-amped fuzzrock: a sick new original plus an appropriately twisted cover of an IKE TURNER tune. (IN THE RED)

NECKBONES, THE
"Hit Me"/"Bad Boy"
SFTRI 508-7 7" $4.00
A dirty, trashy slice of mutant rock'n'roll mayhem comparable to the Grifters, the Oblivians, '68 Comeback, or even R.L. Burnside. (SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY)

NEGATIVE TREND
"Rozz & Negative Trend: The Pop Sessions"
WNR 003-2 CD $7.75
The very first, short-lived version of this seminal San Francisco punk band recorded 9 songs in the studio before singer Rozz Rezabek-Wright went on to other projects. The tapes have lain buried for 20 years, but here they are now for the first time ever! A somewhat different sound than the 2nd incarnation that recorded the very dark, fierce "We Don't Play, We Riot" EP a few months later, this is fast, angry, burn-it-down-smash-it-up '77-style anarcho-punk with an attitude...what it's like to live the chaos. (WHITE NOISE)

NEGATIVLAND
"A Big 10-8 Place"
SEE 003-2 CD $10.80
Pursuing their sound and ideas to an epic extreme, this 3rd album is magical and intense. Elaborate packaging, hand assembled by band members. (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"DISPEPSI"
SEE 017-2 CD $10.80
Their first stand-alone studio album since 1993, this media parody-fest has something to do with a certain soft drink (which cannot be named in print without a lawsuit), as well as the world of advertising in general. A bit more manic than their previous work, good to here. (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Escape from Noise"
SEELAND 006-2 CD $10.80
The CD re-release of NEGATIVLAND's best-selling recording. If any release by NEGATIVLAND could be considered to be a "hit", this is it. "Christianity is Stupid," "Car Bomb," "Time Zones," "Nesbitt's Lime Soda Song," ...they're all here. (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Fair Use: The Story of the Letter U and the Numeral 2"
SEE 013-2 book + CD $16.35
An overwhelming and very funny look at corporately "owned" culture. The 272 page book tells the whole grisly story to date of Island Records' suppression of the "U2" EP and SST Records' suppression of Negativland's response, the "Letter U and the Numeral 2" CD & book. The full length CD has a new 45 minute piece called "Dead Dog Records," about creative appropriation, plus Crosley Bendix on US copyright law. (SEELAND)

(SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Happy Heroes"
SEELAND 018-2 CD5 $8.15
Celebrity-saturated, 8-song EP featuring "Jolly Green Giant," "OJ and His Personal Trainer Kill Ron and Nicole" and Co. Sanders losing his mind amid "Chiken Diction," plus a fabulous 1998 Remedia Megamix of "Happy hero" from the Dispepsi CD! (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Jamcon '84"
SEE 004-2 CD $10.20
Negativland turns the 1984 election inside out and examines the entrails of the rotting beast. A "live remote" from a convention of jammers, this is edited down from the 5-hour radio show that coined the term "cultural jamming," and is in turn derived from a cassette originally on the SST label. Two new sections (not on the cassette) have been added: Crosley Bendix delivers Negativland's stockholder's report during a picnic at the Universal Bemusement Park, and Negativland deconstructs Ronald Reagan's 2nd inaugural address live, as it happens. Too, too much. (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Over the Edge Vol. 3: The Weatherman's Dumb Stupid Come-Out Line"
SEELAND 019-2 2xCD $13.75
Once available only on cassette, this deals with the subject of gay repression as only NEGATIVLAND would think to do it. Includes a special 10-page Weatherman dictionary that will help you learn the true meanings of all those strange words he's been using for the last 20 years. (SEELAND)

Edited from NEGATIVLAND'S weekly radio show, this version has its most perplexing host, Dick Vaughn, bringing the world's first ever '70s nostalgia show. Prank phone calls of the classic variety, an audio evolution to the heights of the DJ world, and Dick's patented ability to ruin his own shows highlight everything wrong with music radio (if you're an unfunny jerk). (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Over the Edge Vol. 5: Crosley Bendix, the Radio Reviews"
SEE 010-2 CD $10.20

The life story of the Weatherman and his family, taken from live performances on Negativland's 12 year old weekly radio show.

Comes with a 12 page, 4 color booklet. (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Over the Edge Vol. 7: Time Zones Exchange Project"
SEE 012-2 2XCD $14.55
The Universal Media Netweb, its mysterious founder C. Elliot Friday, his Howland Island headquarters, and his fantastic project to simulcast programming with Radio Moscow, designed to ease the transition to free market thinking in Russia. American materialism, sellng ethics, lots of Mertz commercials ("Mertz makes up your mind"), Russian rock and the lust for commodities, and Friday's attempt to manipulate history, time and balck holes! This very funny 2-CD set also includes a full-size 1938 movie poster and 28 page booklet. (SEELAND)

(SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Points"
SEE 002-2 CD $10.20
At long last, their 2nd album, unavailable for a few years, is re-released on CD. (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Self Titled"
SEE 001-2 CD $10.80
The CD of their first album is vintage suburban-electronic-junk culture-folk noise/music, packed in a box with do-dads and adorned with wallpaper samples and evidence of suburban culture and commerce. Each is different! (SEELAND)

In another installment from their weekly live radio show, Dick Goodbody, the Weatherman and an auto trivia champion broadcast live from Dick's Auto Hive as they match wits with real callers along the radio superhighway. Rototillers, callers reaching for stardom as they sing along with Dick's selections, life's unanswered questions and mucus galore. The package also includes a big, 14x23 poster and a Dick's Auto Hive fluorescent vinyl keychain! (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"These Guys are From England and Who Gives a Shit"
SEELAND 021-2 CD $11.30
10 years ago this September, Bay Area culture jammers NEGATIVLAND found their latest record sued out of existence by the powers that be. Now, ten years later, this has been delivered to Seeland Records in a brown paper wrapper with no explanation. Here is the historical audio archive of apparently illegal acts involving unwilling guys from Ireland (though it says they are from England). A legally impossible compilation of studio and unreleased live radio and concert versions of their most sued work; a definitive collection of their most criminal music. (SEELAND)

NEGATIVLAND
"Truth in Advertising"

For side 1, Neil does his worst in front of an underappreciative audience, including a new version of his infamous "Zipper Shtick."

VIRUS 271-2 CD $10.50
Columbia is now the third largest recipient of US foreign and military aid, the justification for which is the war on drugs.

VIRUS 242-2 2xCD $12.00

NOAM CHOMSKY
"Free Market Fantasies: Capitalism in the Real World"
ALLIED 80-2 CD $8.90
Chomsky decodes the media bullshit and politicians' blather in another of his incisive analyses of the state of the world. This time it's the myth of the "free" market, growing monopolization of the economy by a few giant corporations, taxpayer subsidies and bailouts, and the "take from the needy, give to the greedy" rule that dominates economic policy. (ALLIED)

NOAM CHOMSKY
"Free Market Fantasies: Capitalism in the Real World"
VIRUS 236-2 CD $10.50
Mega-mergers proliferate while monopolies smother competition. Fewer than 10 corporations control most of the global media. The "free" market depends heavily on taxpayer subsidies and bailouts, while corporate welfare far exceeds that which goes to the poor. The captains of industry of today make the robber barons of the 19th century look like underachievers, and the gap between CEO and worker salaries has never been greater. This lecture presents CHOMSKY's compelling argument to change the power structure of America. His analysis is clear, concise, and thought provoking, and his advice is simultaneously pragmatic and radical. Originally released by Allied Records, this has been out of print for some time. (ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES)

NOAM CHOMSKY
"Propaganda and Control of the Public Mind"

NOAM CHOMSKY
"The Clinton Vision: Old Wine, New Bottles"
AKA 001-2 CD $9.50
In this 56 minute talk, one of the sharpest minds of our time picks apart and lays bare in plain language the hypocrisies, distortions and obfuscations that pass for public debate of real issues, specifically the Clinton administration's actions on NAFTA, health care, crime, labor relations, foreign policy and the economy. (AK AUDIO)

NOAM CHOMSKY / CHUMBAWAMBA
"For a Free Humanity: For Anarchy"
ALLIED 79-2 2xCD $13.10
Chomsky lays down some serious science in his 1995 52 minute talk titled "Capital Rules," which provides a clear picture of how US capital's present direction will lead to a highly polarized society of islands of extreme wealth in a sea of poverty, unless we unite and stop it. An accompanying written interview discusses corporate structure as private tyranny, domestic surveillance of activists, and visions for a new society. UK anarchist band Chumbawamba's 1994 recording "Showbusiness!," made as a benefit for Anti Fascist Action, contains some of their best songs, and the accompanying written interview goes into their musical and political history, and their attempts to introduce politics into pop culture.

DSR 67-2 CD $9.65
Chicago's OBLIVION are similar to the BOLLWEEVILS in style but also throw in a little DEVO and maybe THE DICKIES. MAN DINGO epitomize the "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" mentality. Laid back, relaxed, a little drunk and a lotta high (on life). (DR. STRANGE)

KFM 006-2 CD $13.90
This large Italian musical-theatrical-political group is sometimes called "industrial," but in a manner that's distinctly theatrical, ironical and latin, kind of like Laibach crossed with a comedia del'arte marching band.

OILER
"Missing Part One"
SFTRI 263-2 CD $9.65
Innovative, heavy, decibel-overload punknoise mayhem, a studio recording accurately capturing the spastic intensity of their live sound live and it maintains a frantic pace throughout. Likened to the ferocious stance of Icons of Filth and Rudimentary Peni but the twist here is the powerful vocals are delivered by a wisp of a girl named Beth who also thickens the soup with frantic makeshift percussion. This along with the hammering guitars pounding rhthym section create a gloriously orchestrated racket on the verge of explosion. (SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY)

OILER / BAKAMONO

"self titled"
LOAD 13-2 CD $10.30
One of the most unusual and exciting bands today, OLNEYVILLE SOUND SYSTEM has to be heard to be believed.

(LOAD)

A perfect blend of retro British invasion, Memphis soul and surf with '90s energy and a suave secret agent's taste, this groove is rockin', pulsing, dynamic, swanky, and impossible to resist.

OMNIBOT
"?Syntax Error"
VC 116-1 12" $8.85
This is gabber, which is not normal. It lies somewhere between Delta 9 and Merzbow, where the listeners' faces contort into a pained expression of masochistic satisfaction. Screaming synthesizers, no audible 303s, and BPMs from 180 to 250+. (VINYL COMMUNICATIONS)

OMNIBOT / KID-606
"Split CD"
VC 145-2 CD5 $9.00

OWEN takes AMERICAN FOOTBALL through its next logical progression, with all the hooks and charm completely intact, all instruments played by Kinsella on this recording. (POLYVINYL)
