The Key to Coil is Disobedience A recording of Coil's only concert in Norway (2002) is posted at the music blog wassonii. I think this might be a recording made by me and traded/shared by friends of mine. The concert was really great, and especially worth treasuring after Jhonn's untimely death in '04. The set list is very similar to one of the 4 official live CD's.

Wise words from the departing:
Eat your greens, especially broccoli.
Remember to say "thank you" for the things you never had.
By working the soil we cultivate the sky.
We embrace vegetable kingdom.
Wise words from the departing:
Eat your greens, especially broccoli.
Always wear sensible shoes.

AudiThor - new viking track He'll audit your books and send you to jail for tax fraud! He'll just as soon whip up a storm of kazoo-laden viking rock from the freezing, barren arctic circle! It's the one and only AudiThor, right now he has a new version of his old hit "Ormen Lange" out for listening and downloading on his MySpace site. Check it out! The older trax "Sumarnatta" & "Raudt Som Blod" are still there.

The Collected Works of Boyd RiceNews from Creation Books: STANDING IN TWO CIRCLES is the first defintive and comprehensive compendium of the works of BOYD RICE, one of the most provocative and controversial underground figures of the post-punk era. A pioneering noise musician and countercultural maven, from the late 1970s to the present Rice has worked in an array of capacities, playing the roles of: musician, performer, artist, photographer,  essayist, interviewer, editor, occult researcher, filmmaker, actor, orator, deejay, gallery curator and tiki bar designer, among others. First coming to prominence as an avant-garde audio experimentalist (recording under the moniker NON, most releases on Mute Records), Rice was a seminal founder of the first wave of industrial music in the late 1970s.
In the 1980s, through collaborations with Re/Search Publications, Rice further established his position in underground with recountings of his uproarious pranks and the promotion of “incredibly strange” cult films and “industrial” culture. Rice’s influence on subculture was further exerted through his vanguard exhibition of found photographs and readymade thrift store art, as well as his adamant endorsements of outsider music, tiki culture and bygone pop culture in general. Rice is also notorious for his public associations with nefarious figures both infamous and obscure, including friendships and ideological collusions with the likes of cult leader Charles Manson and Church Of Satan founder Anton LaVey, among others. His work continues to profoundly affect the countercultural underground at large, inspiring and enraging in equal measure.
