VIRGINIA DARE review I wrote for Wipe Out! fanzine in 1998. The band just played again for the first time in years.
THE GARBAGE AND THE FLOWERS, excellent Australian-by-way-of-NZ freak/Velvets/folk/noise act who’ve been quietly making music and (mostly) not recording it since the early 90s.
Scanned from Jimi Kritzler’s book “Noise in My Head: Voices From The Ugly Australian Underground”, which you can order here.
What did you do on the first day of 2015? Me, I made you Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #52 and had a real “gas” doing so. This one’s larded up with new material from Penny Machine (pictured), Lime Crush, White Fence, SROS Lords, Parkay Quarts, The Dacios, The Coneheads and, that’s right, Buck Biloxi and The Fucks. Sub-underground? Oh my yes.
In between all that there are many sound eruptions from the likes of Tyvek, Mike Rep & The Quotas, Supercharger, Animals and Men, The Klitz, Gas, The Clean, Loli and The Chones and many more. The whole thing clocks in at a compact 1:03, so put aside an hour if you can and see what sort of racket we cooked up for you.

We chat to publisher, writer and blogger Jay Hinman about his fanzine that focuses on the best in raw, underground music of the last five decades.
We got a nice write-up in the Australian version of Noisey/Vice today, including an interview w/ me.
Dynamite Hemorrhage Is A Good Old Fashioned Print Fanzine Celebrating Overlooked Music | NOISEY
The new (and final?) RUBBERNECK fanzine (#11) just arrived in our mailbox yesterday, and we jammed through it in record time. Not difficult, as it’s always been mostly a photo zine with a bit of print content (short interviews, record reviews etc.).
Editor Miranda Fisher was extremely helpful to Dynamite Hemorrhage as I was trying to figure out how to get a print magazine rolling again in 2013; she and photo editor Jon Chamberlin gave me heeded advice on ad rates, proper weight of paper and what to look for in a printer.
The new issue features an interview w/ Life Stinks, and they reference a review I wrote of ‘em in Dynamite Hemorrhage #1 (scanned for your reading pleasure, as is my own original review).
Byron Coley & Thurston Moore’s new print fanzine BULL TONGUE REVIEW is now ready for you to order for a mere $5 here.
CHARLIE FEATHERS comp review I wrote for Wipe Out! fanzine, 1998.
Time to wrap up the year. Last post for 2014, so we’ll make it a totally self-serving one.
Dynamite Hemorrhage #2 fanzine is now available here. Wait, did we not mention that before?
Dynamite Hemorrhage #2 is an 84-page music fanzine dedicated to raw and sub-underground rocknroll from the last 5 decades. This one just came out in late November 2014.
It features:
– An interview and career-spanning retrospective with BILL DIREEN, the New Zealand-based musical iconoclast and creator of some of the most weird and wonderful underground pop music of the last 35 years. Great old photos of Vacuum, Six Impossible Things and more – with Direen’s take on his many recordings, bands and general outlook on creation & creativity.
– Tim Warren from Crypt Records, on the eve of two new volumes of the mind-destroying “BACK FROM THE GRAVE” 60s punk compilations, takes us through in profanity-strewn detail how he’s been putting these comps together since 1983, and the pain the man has endured to make sure you and I get to hear some of the most raw and rare rocknroll chaos of all time…!
– Interview with bedroom lo-fi pop savants HONEY RADAR, currently making many short, abrasive and lovely mini-masterpieces out of Philadelphia
– Interview with NOTS, raw and slashing earworm punk band from Memphis
– KING TEARS MORTUARY, Sydney, Australia’s answer to the question “What would a mix of C86, KBD punk and The Gories sound like?”
– Erika Elizabeth’s overview of lost and neglected female-fronted punk and post-punk bands and records you’ve never heard of
– The Layman’s Guide to 1970s Jamaican DUB – an overview of wild, weird and wacked dub reggae created during its peak era, along with ten essential dub recordings, explored
– Interviews with Jon Savage and Stuart Baker on the new PUNK 45 series of archival 70s punk reissues
– 87 record reviews
– 15 book reviews
– Advertisements from today’s top hitmaking labels
See you again in this space in 2015. New podcasts coming as well.
I was interviewed by Mino Peric from the No Brow Art Show on Brisbane, Australia’s 4ZZZ independent radio station. That’s “four-triple-zed”, people.
Mr. Peric was kind enough to throw me a few softballs so I could spout my self-centered gospel, and a few curveballs that had me doin’ a little thinking on my feet. Appreciate the kind words and the opportunity – you can listen to it here. I start in at about the 33:00 mark.
