Meanwhile, Turdswallo Proper gets his mojo back and thee punx swarm. There’s secrets, mutiny, goofy murder, shapes with no scientific name, fucked up drawings of the Crass logo, and maybe someone has some weed, too. On top of that, the plot is both funny and cohesive and the dialogue is so clowny, its fresh again. It’s tops, get all of theeze. -EF

MUSIC BOOKS OR BOOKS WRITTEN BY MUSIC PEOPLE!
Skull Orchard Revisited: Art, Words, and Music by Jon Langford with David Langford and photographs by Denis Langford (Verse) $19.95 – BOOK + CD PACKAGE. Jon Langford is best known for the music he creates with the Mekons and the Waco Brothers, but he’s gained increasing acclaim for his visual art, too, over the past decade. Nashville Radio, his first book+CD of paintings, writing, and music (Verse Chorus Press, 2005) was a sprawling, jam-packed collection full of punk energy. For this book, Langford has created a highly personal portrait of Wales, where he was born and raised. It incorporates a CD featuring Langford’s rare album “Skull Orchard,” originally released in 1998 on a label that promptly went bankrupt, and revamped and extended with live material (and a Welsh male voice choir) for this edition. The songs’ lyrics, at once autobiographical and fanciful, are illustrated in a series of “word paintings” scattered throughout the book, which also includes an A to Z of Welsh culture and history (personal and general), thematically related etchings and paintings, family photographs, and Langford’s first published fiction, a dystopian fable about a whale and a dolphin.

A beautiful waitress (Fritz, of course) and her hospital nurse brother (also Fritz) visit their estranged father, a once successful but now retired writer (amazingly enough, also Fritz), in order to find out the true reason why their mother committed suicide.

And he has arrived at a moment when forces within the IRS are plotting to eliminate even what little humanity and dignity the work still has.
