Obloquy - #1 Summer 1995 - This issue details the ultimate blowout devival
at the DragonCon 95 convention. Exposed in gory detail is the parade of
preachers and ranters, with Ivan Stang, Dr. K'taden Legume, Papa Joe Mama,
Janor Hypercleets, Sister Susie the Floozie, and tons of local talent from
"Bob"'s Slacktime Funhouse on WREK. 7 FULL HOURS, ending just
before 6am.

Plus, other info on modern idols, slackness, and contacts. Send a plastic

OGYR NETWORK - vol 4 #4 - $aint @ndrew has had the kind of year that I wish
I had, as I was busy blasting away monsters. He has full details, with
pictures of the Cleveland Devival (apparently not the Legume "memorial"),
but the earlier one with Indian Rope Burn. Also detailed is the Chicago
Underground Film Festival, attempted assassination of Stang, zines, band
interviews, tons of great gothic/alternative/industrial/noise/rant tapes
and CD reviews (unequalled anywhere, even in the purely music-oriented zines),
and lots of neat new products from the Church of Euthanasia. Also get the

$2 cheap! from PO Box 53, Plainfield IL 60544
Shish-Kebob - The Bran Flakes Quarterly Journal vol. 1 issue 1 - A truly
demented zine, this one goes on a whirlwind tour of World History, with
chapters on serial killers, mass murderers, cults, the Burning Man festival,
growing hemp, subversive "churches" including the Church of Satan,
SubGenius,
Discordians, and Cthulhu worshippers, and more. Plus, its a great reference
for Subgenius contacts on and off the network, including radio shows. Bran
Flakes is a righteously slack-infested Subgenius offshoot, which has made
several appearances on the radio shows, and they also have a variety of
tapes. Don't miss the Commandments of Mofo. Only $1 to Rev. Otis F. Odder/
MOFO, The Bran Flakes, PO Box 2704, Reno NV 89505, Planet Earth
So What? #8 - The official blasphemy, cynicism, and irreverence zine of
the
Temple of Holy Electronic Media Unadulterated Slack (THEMUS). This month,
Rev. Groovy G brings us more Crazy Christian Conspiracy Comics, Bil Keane
Must Die, 23 Watch, celebrity corpse update, mutants listings, plus much,
much more. I specially liked "Sunday School Stories They Never Told
You".
This issue also has material from OverRev Wi(ll)iam of Yeah...And? and
other THEMUS chapters. Get this- its not only a very complete reference
to what's happening in SubGeniusDom, but full of offensive and shocking
FUN!
Send *something* to PO Box 378, Richmond, VA 23203
Vision Temple - bizarre products, SubGenius/Discordian news, occasional
zines (including Orange Grain re-cycled journal), tapes, and weirdness
through the mail. Hear all about Rev. Matthew Carey's strange mental and
psychotropic technology. Send a SASE for some neat free stuff, and get on
the mailing list from: Rev. Matthew A. Carey, 18653 Ventura Blvd, Suite

Yeah...And? - Local SubGenius zine from the Austin, Texas compound.
Highlights include a good and *new* High Weirdness list, plus some e-mail
lists. And, of course, DobbsDoctrine, fellow freaks, and a variety of
other interesting little items including clipart. They're also part of
the latest big push by the Universal Life Church to get everyone signed
up;
look for more info on that elsewhere in this issue. The Price is right too,
its "free", although I'm sure they would probably appreciate zines
or money or
sacred items in exchange. Austin, despite being the capital and being in
Texas, does drip slack. Write to: OverRev Wi(ll)iam, 1305 Cullen Suite A,
Austin TX 78757-1905 or e-mail: abner@bga.com
The 5lb Bag - issue 2 - General-interest zine, this one with an original
OJ
conspiracy theory, poetry, lots of football/NFL info and articles, zine
reviews, letters and other miscellaneous articles. He's also calling for

do
reviews of zines, books, or other materials. $2- $10/6-sub to The 5lb Bag,
c/o Aaron Brandon, 201 Miller Rd. #23, Lebanon OH 45036
ACLU Annual Report - Any organization that can get under Pat Robertson's
skin
is ok by me, although the ACLU does seem to be going down the dark path
of
"political correctness" in many ways. Plus, although they proclaim
undying
love for the Bill of Rights, they conveniently turn a blind eye to the 2nd.
On the whole, however, they probably do far more good than bad, and its
nice
to see an organization not afraid to take on unpopular causes in the name
of
principles. They have an on-line reading room at gopher://aclu.org:6601.
ACLU, 132 West 43rd St., NY NY 10036 (212) 944-9800
Blue Blood/Black Leather Times - The first is a very explicit, hardcore
magazine for the gothic/vampire. HOT photography, piercing, tattoos, blood,
and uncensored interviews and stories make this a true counterculture item.
They seem to be real too, I've seen them at Dragon*Con. Black Leather Times
is an irreverent sick humor magazine covering a wide range of wild topics.
*both need age statement* Blue Blood-$40/6, $22/3 sub, back issues $10,
BLT $1 for most. CBLT, 3 Calabar Court, Gaithersburg MD 20877-1036

in
the world. Send some piece of strangeness or your own zine to:
Thanatos, PO Box 67, A.F., UT 84003 (into the SubG thins also!)
Cato Institute - 1995 catalog - This has become a very popular organization
in Washington nowadays, among the "conservatives". Little do they
know, but
this is actually a Libertarian think-tank in disguise. They have tons of
books detailing precisely why and how to scale back government, cut taxes,
deregulate business, and begin to respect personal and property rights,
while avoiding the hypocritical police-state mentality of both the left
and
the right. Current books include "Forfeiting Our Property Rights"
by Rep.
Henry Hyde, on civil forfeiture, and "The Politics and Law of Term
Limits",
looking at it from all sides. Plus, policy analysis on a multitude of
issues. Cato Institute Books, 938 Howard St., Suite 202, SF CA 94103
800-767-1241
Creation/Evolution #36 - Summper 1995 - Somewhat more technical than most
people might appreciate, this journal features articles delving into
scientific and historical topics relevant to the current furor over teaching
"creationism" in science class. This issue deals with fossil fish
teeth
mistaken by creationists as human teeth, the bible vs. biological concepts,
info on the current struggle in public schools, and more. Published by NCSE,
a one-year membership is $25 which gets you 4 issues of this journal.
NCSE, PO Box 9477, Berkeley CA 94709-0744 800-290-6006
The Curio Manifesto - collection of weird colors, ideas, pictures, etc.

underground/strange themes, but no set topic or medium. Includes zines,
opinions, letters. $12 for 4 isues, $18/6 to Curio Sub, PO Box 522,
Bronxville, NY 10708-0522, ask for submission addresses
Daemonolatriea 696 - Whores of Goddess Scientists (WOGSS) presents 28+ pages
of black magic, rebellion, and art. Very dense, includes massively jammed
occult symbols, figures, art, and slogans from every conceivable religious
system known to man, and many even transcending that. This isue includes
part #1 of the "Worst of the Bible", useful for countering pushy
christians,
a Prayer to Satan, invocations, and tons of ads for occult groups, as well
as plenty of things to just make you think. Hours of enlightened chaos.
Each issue for trade, stamps, cash, or other equal to $6.66, and includes
pages from Anticryptographa 797. Revs. Cheryl & Adrian Cain,
1800 Market St. #47, San Francisco, CA 94102. Adults only.
Derogatory Reference #79 - Arthur Hlavaty continues his personal diary-style
thoughts and experiences. He is heavily into written science finction and
attends several non-media-circus cons, participating in panels with his
wife,
Bernadette Boskey. He talks about panels and guests at Disclave, Readercon,
as well as a wide range of books that he has read. Plus, his thoughts on
many other issues, from the OJ trial dramatics, to the 25th anniversary
of the Stonewall riots, to (IMHO valid) grips about clueless Internet users
and burdensome operating systems; and much more. Always fun to read.
Published 4 times a year, ezine and print, $1 or trade, or comments.
Arthur D. Hlavaty, 206 Valentine St., Yonkers NY 10704-1814; hlavaty@panix.com

on "Angel Hair", web-like material which has fell from the sky
and covered
large areas, immediately following UFO sightings; plus an article looking

the observer. Plus, reviews of other UFO-oriented zines as well as
conventions. 6 issues/$10 (1 year) Devil's Advocate, PO Box 10853,
Pensacola, FL 32524
EARTH'S FINAL WARNING! - "A New World Order Is Coming!" or so
the Heralds
of Truth tell us. Like, tell us something we *didn't* know already. But,
of
course, its MUCH, MUCH worse than even these conspiracy amateurs can possibly
imagine. For the most part, its just the typical anti-catholic Pope as the
AntiChrist protestant propaganda, but its got some nice clip-art. Plus,
these people sound like they can be talked out of tons of free stuff.
Heralds of Truth, PO Box 800, Puyallup, WA 98371
Factsheet Five - #58 - Besides being the ultimate and indispensible Mother
of

The FIJActivist #19 - the official newsletter of the Fully Informed Jury
Association, detailing their outreach and legal efforts across the country.
FIJA refers to the fact that juries have not only the right, but the duty
to
judge not only the facts of a case, but whether the law itself is just or
unjust; conveniently, judges often ignore instructing juries of their rights
and often even lie to them about it, and ban free speech and books on FIJA.
It was primarily juries refusing to enforce alcohol Prohibition laws that
led
to the repeal, and this is actually the citizens' way of curbing unjust
laws.
No small wonder that they don't want people to know it. Basic memberships
are $25/year; joining at higher levels not only supports a great cause,
but
gets you free FIJA promotional supplies. Also FIJAcon III will be held on
Oct. 6-8 in Salt Lake City. DIJA, PO Box 59, Helmville, MT 59843 or
info at 406-793-5550 Dial 1-800-TEL-JURY for free info pack!

a
very organized manner. This issue includes quotes, zines, cartoons, tons
of miscellaneous interesting news items, statistics, computer viruses,

relics. Jimland Novelties, PO Box 45007, Seattle WA 98145-0007
Kill City Graphics - 2 great new comics from Rev. Dave Mitchell- Barefoot

Each of these
12-page mini-comics is only $1 cash. The B&P Girls return from their
UFO

the surgeon general's warning on alcoholic beverages, and 3D pictures. No

Dave Mitchell, PO Box 5094, Winter Park FL 32793-5094

NCSE Reports - Summer 1995 - This magazine focuses on the nationwide battle
against certain minority religious groups to either insert the non-scientific
creationism into school science classes, and attack science in general and
evolutionary theory in particular. As you might expect, this is just an
attempt to sneak their religious beliefs into an otherwise lawfully-secular
institution. Plus, they are a great source of books. Membership in NCSE
is only $25 per yer, and includes 4 issues of NCSE reports and 2 issues
of
Creation/Evolution Journal, plus book discounts. NCSE, PO Box 9477,

RoMSFaFINA #3 - Dan Harper talks about his experiences with science fiction,
particular from sf books. In #3, he talks about Boskone 32, one of the few
cons he's attended, and his impressions of the writing panels; old friends
who have abandoned sf, mystery vs. science fiction, plus reviews of Ursula
K. LeGuin and the recent "Waterworld" movie (I agree-it was less
than
impressive for tons of money), and books he's read this past summer.
[by "high-brow" in #30, I meant that its real, honest writing
as opposed to
slapped-together pop-culture reviews, not "elitist" by any means.]
Send no

stories of *that* within), this issue details connections between the cast
of Gilligan's Island, and the JFK assassination/CIA/Oswald conspiracy. Plus,
lots of movie reviews- the best and the worst of cheap/cheesey teenage sex
and exploitation movies. He does weed out the ones worth watching, versus
the ones shown on Up All Night. Still only $1 each or $5 for 6.

The Solar Age Hemp Paper Report - Winter 94-95 - Articles and news on the
front to legalize hemp as a highly profitable and environment-friendly
substitute for many manufactured items. In particular, it could replace
trees as a source of paper, saving 50% of the timber cut each year, and
not
requiring *any* of those damn smelly paper mills. Naturally, the status
quo
is fighting tooth and nail, from zealous drug-warriors blinded by their
holier-than-thou "morality", to big-business using the law to
shut out the
competition. But, the articles here chronicle the real gains being made
all the time. subscription $12/year to Solar Age Press, Box 610,
Peterstown, WV 24963
Solestar - This is a small zine about neat things happening in the general
Ottawa region. Although the coffee house reviews may be a bit too local
for some people, they do have lots of reviews of bands and shows in that
area, which could definitely be of interest, given how some of these bands
go on tour- and these could be good pointers for *you* to see one of these
groups before (and if) they get popular. Plus, there's also comics, art,
doodles, and other neat things coming out of that area. These zines are
free in the Manotick ON area, but they will trade, or give subscriptions
in exchange for Canadian stamps. 5291 Hillcrest Dr. Manotic ON K4M 1B6
Survivor - Vol. 7 #6 - Very practical issue, with articles on close-defense
shotgun techniques, and how to find or make your own water in survival
situations. Also, with Armed Citizen reports, jokes, zines listings, a
wide variety of self-sufficiency/self-business ads, and multiple pages of
great political cartoons that the government, and in particular the IRS
and
BATF, don't want you to see. Send donation to: Evans, 11-15 45 Avenue,
Long Island City, NY 11101-5154.
Tailspins #23 - This magazine does to the independent music scene what
Factsheet Five does for zines. I haven't seen any other zine or even
magazine that even comes close. Anyone who has any kind of music or record
is listed here, including lots of the obscure and hard to find companies.
Plus, they have *tons* of reviews that aren't afraid to call it as they
see
it. This has interviews with George Anthony of Battalion of Saints, King
Coffey of the Butthole Surfers, and Earth Crisis; plus reviews of live shows.
Plus, a neat Mitch O'Connell cover. Very professionally done, 105 pages.
Sample copy $3, $12 for one year of bi-monthly issues. Tailspins Magazine,
PO Box 5467, Evanston, IL 60204 312-935-0666, tailspin@interaccess.com
Tom Paine Productions - Distinctive T-shirt catalog featuring America's
foremost patriot philospher, infidel, and hellraiser, whose "Common
Sense"
pamphlet rallied troops for independence. Plus lots of other rabble-rousers
and troublemakers including Voltaire, Spooner, Rand, Mencken, John Brown,
and most of the Founding Fathers, who would no doubt today be labelled as
"militia" extremists and raided by the BATF. Plus, lots of politically-
incorrect slogans and challenges to "authority". Reasonable prices
too.
717 South Mill Ave, Suite 67, Tempe, AZ 85281 (602) 954-2470
Ultrasonic Scalpel #2 - Fun news and articles from the mutant culture.
Includes reviews of 70-80s vintage pinball games, a subject very close and
dear to me, music reviews, playing guinea pig for new drugs, in this case,
"herbal" ecstasy, true-life adventures in the audience of the
Bozo show,
(I did the NC version...), plus zine reviews and classifieds. Super-strong
extra heavy-duty psychic slack here. $1, Ultrasonic Scalpel, PO Box 209,
Clarendon Hills, IL 60514-0209
W-Project - This is a underground culture production of unspecified purpose;
including poetry, photos, strange thoughts, tapes, and the zines Luke's
W-Zine, and Pulvis et Nihil. Lots of Italian stuff, although they are
readable for an English-speaking audience. Plus, he keeps me up-to-date
on
Cicciolina, the Italian porn star-turned-politician (and now, not the only
one!)- and the death of one of their stars, Moana. [See ad] Contact
Luca Valfre, Via F.Armosino 3, 14100 Asti (ITALY)
The Watcher #10 - The official journal of the Order of Shaitan, the Baltimore
affiliate of the Church of Satan, this zine includes satanic stories, rituals,
poetry, reviews, and ads/contacts for lots of other satanic and occult
organizations. Also included is news on how they were kicked out of the
local July 4 parade, supposedly celebrating religious "freedom",
much to the
delight of the area's christian groups. For those unfamiliar with Satanism
as it is *really* practiced, as opposed to fundamentalist propaganda, it
is
a celebration of hedonism, indulgence (something we can definitely relate
to!),
and living life to its fullest, unencumbered by arbitrary authority and
unnecessary social constrictions. Contrary to rumors, they do NOT sacrifice
or harm any other living thing; their inclusion of news stories of the antics
of christian priesthood shows quite plainly where the *real* demons are.
Single issue is $5, Sub/Membership is $18 for 4 issues. checks/money orders
made to Gargoyle Productions. ORDER OF SHAITAN, Rev. Ron Mephisto, S.P.,

on when the college bit the dust, WFMU 91.1 FM blasts the NJ/NYC area with
the wild and unusual, and now they offer some truly original stuff in their
catalog. From William Shatner's rendition of "Lucy In The Sky With

Army surplus! If you are unfortunate enough to miss the escape saucers,
you might need some of these products. Knives, gas masks, water filters,
survival books, and other goodies are available here, with pictures.
Plus, they have links to militia sites. http://rrnet.com/~subrosa
And, on the subject of survival, a new online shareware survival novel
called "The Gray Nineties" is now available. In this scenario,
the
government screws up the economy so badly that the vital utilities and
businesses fall like dominoes and society completely collapses. Of all the
war/a-bomb/natural disaster scenarios, this might actually be more possible.
It describes in detail a group's preparations and tactics for surviving
"the
crunch". Not foaming-at-the-mouth as other survivalist literature tends
to
be, its full of practical hints and tips. For those without the extensive
underground facilities and military stockpiles like the HToMC/SLAK garrisons,
the detailed story can function as a checklist for building your retreat.

The Universal Life Church accepts everyone without question of beliefs,
grants
lifetime ordination, for free. Why let the "religious" people
have all the
perks and "respect" of the title REVEREND, when you can have it
too? The
church has two tenents: the absolute right of freedom of religion and to
do
that which is right. Anything else (within the law) is allowed. As an
ordained minister of the church, you too may ordain new ministers. You must
send the names and addresses of new ministers to the church in Modesto,
California for recording on their rolls. The Universal Life Church will
not
stand between you and your God (if any at all) and recognizes that each
person must choose his own path. Each person in the ULC is free to follow

BELIEFS are just as valid or unvalid as any others...they are both sets

Out of all of our favorite cheesy-paranoid images from the 50s, little
compares with government propaganda on THE BOMB. Jayne Loader's Public
Shelter is a web site and a CD-ROM with everything you ever wanted to know
about nuclear warfare, including lots of pictures, sounds, and footage from
her classic film, The Atomic Cafe. Without commentary or interpretation,
this tells the story in its own words and images- and its one thats
simultaneously funny, creepy, and at one time, deadly serious. Forget Ed
Wood and all the other schlock film-makers of the 50s- the absolute kings
of bulldada once worked for the Dept. of Civil Defense, and there's a big
healthy dose of it on this site.

available for FTP at: ftp.netcom.com:/pub/qu/quozl/HTTB

Dan's Gallery of the Grotesque, as mentioned on the Howard Stern show, is
one of the premiere collections of gross and tasteless pictures on the net.
Everything from suicides, homocides, accidents, war, and mutations, can
be
found here. Definitely not for the squeamish, there's more blood and gore
here than in any 10 movies.

Rev. Donald Wildmon/American Family Association Watch - This self-appointed
guardian and censor of all media thinks that his group has the right to
determine what you should watch in the privacy of your home. Toward that
end, his organization targets sponsors advertisers and producers of any
show
even slightly to the left of Jesse Helms, threatening them with boycotts.
Of course, they don't have the numbers or the power to actually hurt any
of
these companies, but they are capable of making a noise far in excess of
their numbers. This page is an effort to keep tabs on this group, and to
actively work *against* them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - I have also personally
done such damage-control work in the past, and those sleazeballs deserve
it.
