Fantastic Swedish garage punk fanzine from the late 90s, put together by Henrik Olausson in Landskrona, Sweden. HUMAN GARBAGE DISPOSAL was written in flawless English, and moved beyond the Rip Off Records/In The Red sound it initially mined into old 78rpm stuff, blues, books/film and various stripes of underground rock.
If anyone knows where Mr. Olausson is, can you have him drop me a line?

TOO FUN TOO HUGE! fanzine, issue #2, from 1988. The editor was Patrick Amory, and the magazine has a great, snark-heavy, uber-opinionated feel that was (and remains) right up my proverbial alley.
I’ve added a 1-page piece from this issue about record collecting from Amory. No doubt this guy lived it, and was a front-lines record collecting commando at Midnight, Bleeker Bob’s and St. Mark’s around this time.
Australia’s B-SIDE fanzine, issue #19 from 1987. That was the year that Australian Radio Birdman-style rawk was huge among a certain kind of record accumulator/nerd….like me.
Cosmic Psychos, Hard-Ons, Celibate Rifles, Reptiles at Dawn, Seminal Rats – I loved that stuff. Sold just about all of it with zero regrets within a decade.
From the SLASH magazine 1-year anniversary issue, Los Angeles 1978.
Phenomenal new bare-bones garage gnarl from SEX TIDE – song #1 from a split cassette with Bloody Show. Ask the band how you can get one.
BOO BOO fanzine #1, published by Brett Sokol out of Cleveland, Ohio in 1994, and scanned by me at my house yesterday afternoon twenty years later.
DRUNKEN FISH was a label and (briefly) a fanzine based out of Santa Monica, CA.
Darren Mock was the guy behind the mini-empire, and a friendly guy to boot whom I met a couple of times in the early 90s. To the best of my knowledge, the ‘zine only came out once. Its focus was collector-scum 45s and underground rock music in limited editions. This great piece by Dave Stimson (one of the fellas behind Touch-n-Go fanzine) provides a nice flavour.
ALLEY CATS / FLESH EATERS / CONSUMERS ad – live at The Whiskey in Los Angeles, June 1978. Scanned from Slash magazine.
Mooreose, thanks for this. I tried to post about this here on Tumblr & on our FB/Twitter pages, but The Hedonist Jive had to change URLs. The new URL for the blog is http://www.hedonist-jive.com.
Thanks again.
