If you’re paying attention even a little bit, there really still is just too much great rocknroll music pouring out of basements and dark clubs worldwide to stuff into a 60-minute phony radio show every two weeks – yet I do try. The list of things I wanted to play is longer than the list of things I played, but I guess that’s what happens when you shoehorn in a nine-minute, feedback-laden track off of a Velvet Underground bootleg – and expect people to listen. You’ll listen, won’t you?

DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #34 has got some absolute gnarl from modern bands like SEX TIDE (new track!), VELO, THE FIREWORKS and THE IN OUT. Would you believe DEATH OF SAMANTHA and ANIMALS & MEN are still with us, and have first-rate new recordings being played here? How about some brand new guitar bending from the misanthropic ALVARIUS B? Or some perfect new pop from Dunedin, New Zealand’s TRICK MAMMOTH?

I even headed into the library for “deep cuts” from The Weirdos, Salvation Army, Spider and the Webs, Division Four and more. Listen up and maybe come over to iTunes and give it nice plug, hows about?

Sincere apologies for always flogging the Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine in this space – but if not here, where, right? So here’s the deal – the 100 or so copies I have left are all for sale here.

Starting in mid-May, I’m going to have to stop selling them for 3 months, because I’ll be living in Oslo, Norway (!) until August, and unable to ship from there. I mean, I think they’ve got post offices in Norway, perhaps inside whaling stations, but am still not sure. Better safe than sorry.

So if you’re interested in owning what some people have called “One of 2014’s fanzines”, here’s what’s in it:

– An in-depth interview with Chris D., Los Angeles-based punk rock earth-turner, who founded and fronted The Flesh Eaters; ran a pioneering record label called Upsetter; almost released the first Black Flag album; wrote dozens of reviews and helped to edit the seminal Slash magazine; put out his own fanzine with Exene, John Doe & Judith Bell; and much more – all before 1979 was finished. This interview focuses solely on that period of his career

– The first and only retrospective and posthumous interview with SALLY SKULL, a fantastic 1990s all-female Scottish band who made raw, jarring garage punk music with dollops of angularity and dirty pop hooks

– Mail interviews with SEX TIDE and HOUSEHOLD, two current bands working the circuit who happen to be two of Dynamite Hemorrhage’s very favorites

– Quickie interview with BONA DISH, a recently-resurrected early 80s UK countryside band who are poster children for the rough-hewn, spaced-out DIY sound that we’ve all come to worship from that era and country

– Big retrospective on 1980s and 1990s underground music fanzines (like Damp, Butt Rag, Dagger, Two Hundred Pound Underground etc.) by the editor of Fuckin’ Record Reviews blog

– 60-something record reviews written by Erika Elizabeth and Jay Hinman

– 15-something book reviews by Jay & Erika

– Advertisements from today’s top labels

Won’t you order one today?

It’s going on three years old now, and lord knows what happened to this Brighton, UK band in the interim since they made their 2011 demo tape, but a great recent discovery for me (thanks Modraucous) are THE IRREPARABLES.

The band’s mix of Shaggs/Desperate Bicycles simplicity with some hot spit and vigor makes for a pretty intoxicating mix of DIY splatter, as you’ll no doubt hear on this track, “Digested System”.

Unlike my usual pattern, I happen to like the dude singer’s stuff far more than the woman’s. This time.

Following other stellar. top-to-bottom excellent pure-pop LPs I’ve totally fallen for this year by Veronica Falls and La Luz, the debut LP “Floristry” from Dunedin, New Zealand’s TRICK MAMMOTH is my new saccharine ringer.

I’m not sure if it’s more first-LP Teenage Fanclub or entire-career Look Blue Go Purple but their record’s absolutely worth a pickup if any of the aforementioned get your proverbial motor running. Meanwhile, here’s a video of the band live in NZ.

After listening to this 2-hour all-Velvet Underground podcast, featuring Jonathan Richman reminiscing about the band, I realized I really need to be regularly listening to more Velvet Underground live shows than I currently am. My Velvets bootleg accumulation phase really peaked around 2004 or so, at the height of the CD-burning era.

Here are a few I’ve got (except “Take A Trip” – have never seen that one). There are at least two dozen more that are amazing, and more beyond that which I’ve never heard.

UPSETTER fanzine #2, 1978. This was put together in Los Angeles by Chris D. (Flesh Eaters), Judith Bell and Exene Cervenka.

You can read all about it in Dynamite Hemorrhage print fanzine #1.

I was surprised during my interview with Chris D. in said fanzine that Upsetter even existed in magazine form, and if you happen to have a copy you could “loan” me, that’d be real great.

(By the way, this image and many other fanzine stunners can be found at Ryan Richardson’s excellent Fanzine Faves – check it out).
