NECESSARY EVILS review I put together for Wipe Out! fanzine back in 1998.
Category: Uncategorized
The superior SUPERCHARGER, sublimated even below the vastly inferior “Eight Ball Scratch” and The Mummies, circa 1991 or so. I probably attended this event, though have no knowledge of it remaining in 2014.
Dynamite Hemorrhage contributing editor Erika Elizabeth’s got the best music podcast on the planet. Here’s her December edition.

My 51st show and my fact-checking is still riddled with errors, my show’s full of modulation mix-ups and my on-mic “persona” is about as pleasing to the ear as a friggin’ sack of cats. At least the music totally smokes. Notwithstanding my error on Brian Eno’s first album – it’s called “Here Come The Warm Jets”, no der! – and the fact that some songs are mixed too low and some voices too high (that’s why Thomas Edison invented the volume knob for you), I’m excited to share with you some of the finest in raw, sub-underground rock and roll music from the past five decades.
There’s new archival stuff from The Klitz (turn it up) and The Bangs nee The Bangles; there’s new 2014 songs from Pampers, White Fence, Men Oh Pause, Coneheads, Germ House and Parkay Quarts; and a bunch of library stuff from many corners of our world: The Birthday Party, Bill Direen & The Bilders, Razar, The Coolies, Long Blondes, Modern Lovers and so on and so forth. Take a look at the playlist and I think you’ll wanna give it a go.

CAT POWER review I wrote for Wipe Out! fanzine, 1998. What a bizarre yet entrancing show she put on in Seattle that year.
What kind of band reads Dynamite Hemorrhage?
KING TEARS MORTUARY does – especially when they’re in it.

In case you missed it two weeks ago. New episode (#51) to be posted this week.
The purported theme of our podcast, magazine and blog is “raw and sub-underground rocknroll from the last five decades”. This new edition of DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO, #50, goes heavy on the first and most recent of those decades. Two blazing new tracks from the just-released 60s punk comp “Back From The Grave, Volume 9” make their 21st century online debuts here – and if that’s not reason enough to download or stream this thing, there’s new material from the likes of Parkay Quarts, The Coneheads, Le Skeleton, Germ House, Leggy, Honey Radar, Rakta, Sauna Youth, Bent, The Blind Shake and Pampers. Pampers!
There’s a blown-out bootleg recording from the Velvet Underground, a little punk rock tomfoolery and all sorts of needless verbal blather from the host. In all, it’s 74 minutes you won’t ever get back – unless you play it a second time.

FALL reviews I wrote for Wipeout! fanzine, 1998.
This is an interview I did via mail with Japanese psychedelic speed freaks HIGH RISE back in 1993. Definitely one of the great lost-in-translation interviews I’ve ever seen, all modesty aside. All I did was ask the tough questions.
Fantastic band, too, if you’ve never heard their late 80s/early 90s material. Interview taken from SUPERDOPE fanzine #6, 1993.
Reblogging this, since two other outlets reblogged it today. Admittedly it is extremely uninformative.
