cat o' nine tails records 
Cat O' Nine Tails Records was originally
formed in late 1873 by four warlocks in what is now modern day Knob Lick,
Missouri. Their vision was to spread unhappiness throughout the the earth
by casting a series of massive hexes and curses on the world and by promoting
and distributing music which was genuinely unpleasant to listen to and
yet almost catchy at times. The four warlocks are pictured here at an early
board meeting:
(counterclockwise from bottom) Vlasditosk Muhlvai, Christos
Resoulis, Eggsbad Devilton, and Colin Borin. Colin Borin, at some hundred
and fifty years old, is the only surviving member of the original Cat O'
Nine Tails Board of directors and still active today as the founding member
of the Flowers of Disgust.

The Buttmops (formerly the Pulselators)
A brilliant fusion of no talent and no
effort, featuring members of That Chick's Pants, and having no outstanding
characteristics other than noise and drums. They're debut album: "Magical
Journey Up Your Ass" is hypnotic. Currently available albums include
The Buttmops: Food and Drug Administration and The Buttmops en
Voiture.

FLASH: BUTTMOPS BREAK UP; FUTURE OF MUSIC THRUST INTO UNCERTAIN
LIMBO
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH F. BUTTMOP
F.BUTTMOP: "i'm all torn up. Chet Buttmop is dead from a
drug overdose. Hank Buttmop is an asshole. F.Buttmop is in jail for killing
Peter Shapiro and Julie Ember and attempting to kill D.Gibson with a sharp
lollipop...." [ed--unclear what is happening in interview past this
point]
(announcement, 12/4/2000)
"The now-defunct outfit The Buttmops have finally released their
swansong effort. Recorded over Thanksgiving, the album consists primarily
of Farley Buttmop and Chet Buttmop driving around in a car arguing with
one another. F. had attempted earlier to record at his house with a very
uncompliant Chet; the tapes of that session were playing in the car stereo
as the album was recorded. Other instrumentation was limited to a large
metal trashcan and an unreliable keyboard. This recording is AMAZING. F.
had planned to "edit" the album for some reason, but, rest assured that
I, acting on behalf of the greater good, have dutifully stolen the only
copy of the cassette; no such edits will be made. Tentitively titled, "Buttmops
en Voiture," the album is great because F. and Chet really were completey
pissed off at each other, and F. kept screaming so loudly that he would
almost lose control of the car."

Orphan Gorillas
A splinter group of the Flowers, Orphan Gorilla's debut album A
Good Many is known the world over as the premire musical depiction
of donuts. Produced cheaper and quicker than a Nirvana album, even
before Kurt Cobain shot himself.
That Chick's Pants
A group of unknown (yet unquestionable!) talent; due to their apparent
lack of any equipment whatsoever, they have been unable to produce anything
at all, excepting last spring's epic "Odyssey EP" which threatened radio-friendliness
with its power-pop hit, 'Argos (Odysseus' Dog)' and the interminable 'Odyssey
Groove'. Rumours of underground association with the Flowers of Disgust
ran high in early '98, and a definite Flowers influence can be heard on
their disappointing first full-length album, "The Rise and Fall of Planet
Bad", available now.
WILT 10K
This dynamite duo, the bad-boys of gradmaster fresh lyrics and
uncanny trip-hop scat fusion won a large audience base this summer with
their quirky and insightful lyrics, touching on subjects as universal as
Strawberry Quik and Charles in Charge. Look for their first EP, "Lyrical
Masturbation" due out in the near future.
The Crackbabies
The last true underground hardcore punkrock indie superstars.
Shave the Weasel
This band, recently discovered, was signed sight-unseen on the
pure merit of their name, and the given fact that each member was "of below-average
intelligence".
Work in a Shop
A side project of the Flowers' featuring all the Flowers except
frontman Colin Boron (who is the main talent of the band). Still,
Work in a Shop is not completely without merit.
dubok
There is only scant information available on this band (though
see the interview with j.mullis for more information
on Dubok).
Deceptachrist
Little is known about this Swedish hardcore band which recently
signed a three-album contract with Cat O' Nine Tails. They have yet
to begin recording.
Tha' Monkies
A studio creation, brainchild of Colin Borin. At present
no members have been recruited.
