Agony Shorthand is a podcast and maybe someday, a print fanzine. For over twelve years, it was called Dynamite Hemorrhage. For a year, it was called Radio Dies Screaming. And believe it or not, 20+ years ago I used to do another site called Agony Shorthand, a “blog” from back when there were blogs. Not confusing at all, right?
The one and only Radio Dies Screaming ‘zine #1 is available to order here.
Free downloads of all out-of-print back issues right here.
Check out our fanzine-focused site Fanzine Hemorrhage.
Agony Shorthand is our new semi-regular podcast that you can grab on Apple Podcasts or stream on Soundcloud or stream on Mixcloud as well. Raw, free-form, genre-bending sub-underground music from the last six decades. The podcast tackles the dark corners of DIY sounds, from psych to solo guitar to punk to abstract pop to folk to heavy metalloid music – and other corners besides.
This site ran from 2012-early 2017 on Tumblr; you can see all of the old posts over there at this link.

AGONY SHORTHAND 
RIP Mike. Lost him 25 years ago or so. Brilliant mind. Turned me on to music I never would have been exposed to. Went to high school together. He was loved by many.
