Polkacide, self-titled, (Subter
ranean) Hardcore polka? On the cover there's
a skull in an Alps climbing hat with two
crossed strings of weiners underneath.
Inside there's about ten skinhead
mutants careening through Czech
classics like it was the hippest thing in
the world.
By comparison Brave Combo sounds
like a bunch of lifeless archivists.
Accordians, woodwinds and a smatter

his keeshka, longing for the "mutter-

land" where young hoodlums don't
desecrate their noble heritage.
Polkacide whips up an irreverant
storm on old warhorses like "In Heaven
There is No Beer" and "Beer Barrel
Polka" but the classic of Polkacide's
limited form is their version of "Who
stole the Keeshka" which reels out of
control, turns into a tango halfway
through and then collapses into accor
dian driven speed metal.
My only complaint here is that some
of the cuts just sound too traditional.
After hearing Polkacide pull the stops
out on "Keeshka" one can only wish
they'd have been as bizarre on every
cut.

Kodak 5247 is a registered trademark nArr
of the Eastman Kodak Company -JOO
the year, a straight reworking of the
cover of "Led Zeppelin II."
The actual vinyl inside ain't bad
either as progressive hardcore goes.
Some of it is the standard loud and fast
borrowing from the Dead Kennedys and
7 Seconds with a little Butthole Surfers
thrown in. The best cuts have tinges of
Squirrel Bait, really sharp interesting
chord progressions that pall and yank
at the rhythm but never get weird
enough that the choruses and verses
aren't melodically distinguishable.
Doggy Style's rather perverse obses
sion with images of dogs and puppies
doing um, interesting things gets a lit
tle old after about a side, but there's
promise here and this is definately
three or four cuts above their first
album of truly pedestrian hardcore.
Standout tracks are "Lady from Bor
dello" and "Puerto Rico" which have
little to do with dogs.
Their tune "Black Dog" has nothing
to do with the Led Zeppelin song, by
the way.
"Soul Dude" however is a bizarre
cover of Sam and Dave's "Soul Man."
They put a dog into it.

Album Courtesy of Pickles Re
cords Squirrel Bait, "Skag Heaven,"
(Homestead)
Squirrel Bait was the band that
forced Husker Du to put up or shut up.
Fanzines everywhere forsaked the
Minneapolis darlings for this louder,
faster less-focused band. Now Squirrel
Bait is no more and Husker Du is on the
verge of a radio hit. The universe is
square and the earth is flat.
God wears army boots.
Squirrel Bait was a great band for
almost two albums. They burned with a
fire that hasn't been heard from Husker
Du since "Zen Arcade" and their whole
approach to music is thunder. This LP
thunders, bass lines bowl along heav
ily, guitars assault, stutter into silence
and then immediately assault again.
Calling this hardcore would be a
dreadful insult. Every song is an anthem
even though the lyrics pretty much
read like regular songs about love, girls
and (the current trend) nothing at all.
"Slake Train," "Kid Dynamite," oh,
hell, every cut's thunder.
It's too bad they're gone but the
sound of these albums will resound in
our ears for years to come.

cords. "King Kong Lives Soundtrack"
John Scott (MCA Records)
If I had to make a top ten list of
music for the year 1987 so far, surely
the soundtrack for "King Kong Lives"
would be number one. This is perhaps
composer John Scott's greatest work,
and set against the action packed Dino
De Laurentis film, the record is a
stunner.
"What I want is a melody," Scott
explains on the notes from the LP, "I
want an emotional score."
Yes, the emotion on this album
pours forth like a flood of tears from the
noble beast, King Kong. Most of all this
is a love story, the love between a giant
ape and his lady giant ape. In the beau
tiful and haunting "Kong Meets Lady
Kong," the listener is taken back to
those erotic love scenes between the
two big apes, Faye Wray means nothing
now, Kong has finally found someone
his own size.
But, their love is ripped away from
them, like so many electrical wires
Kong walks through. "
The listener is taken back to the
harrowing "Lady Kong Gets Gassed."
His love is torn away and Kong spends
months of disillusionment in the Flor
ida Everglades. "Alligator Swamp" is a
fantastic Tex-Mex swamp rock boogie
tune sure to get you rocking.
One blatant omission from this
soundtrack is the great tune, "Kong
Bites The Heads Off Some Redneck
Hunters." Oh yes, there is a dark side to
America's biggest hero.
Eventually, Scott finished the love
story in a blaze of glory. Tonka trucks
flying everywhere "Kong Rescues His
Lady," "Kong's Final Battle," and "Birth
of Baby Kong and Death of Kong," are
all stunning finales to the greatest
soundtrack and movie to play in down
town Lincoln since "Godzilla-1985."
This LP is a must have for any serious
music fan.
