	One World Beat - music making a difference
		Decadence, a 4-member rock band whose music "tends to wake the dead", is slowly invading the Michigan music scene.
		With a Battle of the Bands Championship, a full length CD entitled "Communication", and a cult following that grows with each passing day, Decadence is on the road to success.
		With a name change and a new album, the band is hard at work again, playing shows and getting their music to the masses.

	HENRY O. FLIPPER
		Flipper's military career was cut short, however, when he was court-martialed for embezzlement of commissary funds, for falsifying government records, and for lying to his commander.
		Flipper’s efforts only resulted in him being court-martialed, and charged with "embezzlement" and "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." His trial was held in the post chapel at Fort Davis in November and December of 1881.
		While acknowledging that Flipper falsified reports and lied to his commanding officer, the army ruled that regardless of race, the sentence handed down in December of 1881 and upheld by the president in 1882 was too severe for the crime.

	TrouserPress.com :: Flipper
		In its prime, San Francisco's Flipper was a magnificent, fascinating entity, playing what might have been typical hardcore music at an unsettlingly slow speed: like a 45 slowed down to sub-LP pace, a flawless impression of a downed-out hardcore band.
		Flipper could be your car on the verge of a total breakdown or your worst hangover nightmare amped up to brain-splitting volume.
		Flipper's cathartic noise — sort of a foul-smelling castor oil for the ears — was more than a gimmick, though.

	seaturtle.org - Flipper Tags
		Flippers tags are the most common tags that are used to mark sea turtles.
		Flipper tags can also be disturbing to some turtles when they are applied; most workers wait until after a nesting female has finished laying before applying the flipper tags.
		In the case of large turtles, the flipper in the vicinity of this scale may be too thick and hence the tag should be applied in the skin adjacent to the scale, either towards the axilla or away from it.

	Flipper - Biography - AOL Music
		There was something wonderfully uncomplicated about this attitude, which is probably the reason that Flipper, despite being seen as a one-shot band, had a career that lasted longer than 15 minutes.
		In fact, Flipper may have been the first hardcore/post-hardcore band to essay life-affirming messages on its album (no matter how tongue-in-cheek it might sound).
		With much of the rock press singing their praises (and deservedly so), Flipper went on to demi-celebrity status as the reigning kings of American underground rock, for a few years.

		Now the band's major recordings are out of print, while Loose and the other surviving members are still trying to figure out how to salvage what's left of the tarnished Flipper legacy.
		Flipper acquired a rabid, dedicated following and inspired critical praise from well beyond the Bay Area, but also irritated plenty of others who either didn't get the joke or didn't realize how serious the band were about it.
		He still sounds good, though, and as the band warmed up with some of his old songs at a rehearsal, it was clear he hasn't lost his old intensity, even if his voice is a little rougher.

	Flipper
		The sound of Generic Flipper is as follows: loud, heavily reverbed drums that sound like they were played in a dungeon, topped with a dull, dead sounding bass playing really catchy anthems, a guitar just making a bunch of feedback and noise and a couple of goofy louts shouting on top of the noise.
		Flipper took all of this bullshit and emitted a powerful denial of the death culture.
		Flipper is like picking up a huge rock and looking underneath at the slugs and maggots stuck to the bottom; it's ugly, it's a part of yourself you've never looked at before, but discovering it is exciting, an experience unlike any other.

		Upon first listen, Generic Flipper appears to be the most wretched misuse of a guitar in the history of Western music, and no doubt 90 percent of the world will retain that impression for all eternity.
		Generic Flipper is a constant lurch of plodding two-chord guitar riffs, a double bass attack that summons forth the demons of early metal, absolutely tuneless vocal parts, and distortion, distortion, distortion.
		Flipper can also boast their influential role on grunge as much as any other band on the planet, (as do the Melvins, Mudhoney, and every other loud, slow, flannel-sporting rip off).

		Basically, the band's music was "grunge" long before a bunch of stoners from Seattle took that word and made a fortune off it.
		In fact, a good portion of Flipper tunes can be described as "plodding on," which is precisely why many folks never appreciated the rotgut genius of it all.
		That was 15 years ago, and even then Flipper was past its heyday, but band members were the same stumbling discourteous drugged-out wrecks that they always were and they had a uniquely humorous way of disgracing everybody.

		Still, Flipper is one of the more influential bands that came out of the San Francisco punk scene in the late 1970s, inspiring many new bands with their dirge sound and personal lyrics.
		Even Rick Rubin, founder of the label Def American, was a huge Flipper fan, which is why he signed them to his major distributed label for their comeback LP "American Graphishy" (don't believe me? Check out his early band Hose, who released a 7" and an LP which sound very much like Flipper.
