Abandon all bullshit ballast and fatuous flapdoodle, ye who enter here! The doors of this church are wide open to anybody out there who thinks there's a connection between ROCK AND ROLL--the sound that swings your sacroiliac--and the Spirit of Life! Enter and, in the words of Barrence Whitfield and the Savages...let's lose it!

We're now on the radio! Check out
THE FIRST CHURCH OF HOLY ROCK AND ROLL'S
RABBIT'S FOOT RADIO REVIVAL
at www.Live365.com.
(Sounds like it's coming through a transistor radio...
but that's just part of the charm! Who trusts crystalline
perfection anyhow?)

Ken McIntyre (aka "The Sleazegrinder") is to rock writin' what the Oblivians were to garage rock--stripped-down, ugly, nasty, bare-wire electric. After you check out his brand spankin' new site, read his stuff at The Rawk and in HITLIST magazine. An original!

Congrats to
Colin Gray
of Australia's Vicious Kitten Records!
He's the winner of our annual End of Year Best-of List Drawing (click on the link to see his and others)--happy shoppin'!
