TAKE IT! fanzine from 1983, featuring Chris D. from the Flesh Eaters on the cover. This is the mag I’ve been pulling so many scans out of the past few weeks, and it’s probably one of the 10-15 best fanzines I’ve ever read, right up there w/ Forced Exposure and Slash.

To the extent you can even read it, here’s a scanned article about BONA DISH from an old UK newspaper/fanzine thing, likely about 1981.

BONA DISH were a UK band from 1981-82 who put out two cassettes of shambling, low-fidelity gauzy DIY pop. I only just heard the stuff this year. There’s word on the internet that the Captured Tracks label are planning to put these 2 tapes together as a new release, perhaps even as a “compact disc” (does anyone still do that?).
In the meantime, here’s “Mutation” from their “On C30” tape from ‘81.

Sure, I played this song on the most recent Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Show podcast, but I think it’s important that you hear it here as well in case you haven’t downloaded or streamed that show just yet. I may have questioned this song’s staying power on the show, but a few days and listens later I think I’m getting to be a true believer.
PRIESTS are from Washington DC, and they summon some intense, caterwauling spectres of dirty no wave, spastic garage lurch and shrieks & artastic wordcore ripped from a very primal place. They have a 2-song single you can buy and/or download from their Bandcamp page, and I suggest you do so right now.

Let’s revisit the awesome THINKING FELLERS UNION LOCAL 282, a band seemingly and unjustly lost to the 1990s and barely remarked-upon for the last decade and a half. At one point this San Francisco quintet were one of the most inventive, loopy and dissonantly fun rock and roll bands around.
This is “Sister Hell” from their first full-length album, “Tangle” from 1989.
