ABOVE GROUND, a short-lived 1983 trippy Velvets/Modern Lovers-style freeform project from Bill Direen, Maryrose Crook and others. I just heard the posthumous Siltbreeze release this past week for the first time.
It may not be for everyone but I’m pretty sure it’s for me.
Help me celebrate the silver anniversary of Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Podcast by downloading or streaming #25 right here. As I try to make a custom of, this one’s bursting with new material from all over the world – nay, the English-speaking world – including winners from PAMPERS; SEPTEMBER GIRLS; SEX TIDE; JOANNA GRUESOME; SPRAY PAINT; THE FIREWORKS and DREAMSALON.
There’s also a nod to our forefathers and foremothers from the 70s and thenceforth who bequeathed unto us music from the likes of The Slugs; 39 Clocks (pictured here); Sperm Wails; Man Tee Mans; the Suicide Kings and even Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. Like I said on the podcast, it’s “wild” “freeform” radio, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the glory days of potsmoking, late-night FM DJs spinning Steely Dan next to some “Dark Side of the Moon” deep cuts. Trust me, this show is really almost that good.

Hyper, scattered 1995 Scottish all-gal artpunk from LUNG LEG; this wacked-out charmer was on a Vesuvius Records compilation called “In Spelunca”, also featuring DH faves Sally Skull and The Yummy Fur.
SEX TIDE, live in New York City this past weekend. Now you know why we like ‘em so much around here.
What’s going on with the Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #1, you ask? Oh, you didn’t know? Yeah, I’m working on a print fanzine that will come out in less than 2 months – wrapping up all writing, ads and such by 12/1, with layout and printing happening in December. There’s so much stuff in there I think we may top 60-70 pages, no joke. Some highlights:
Stay close for pre-ordering details if you’re interested. More info to be provided in this space shortly.

Sex Tide’s primal howlings owe more to the groovy hate fuck attitude of Pussy Galore, or The Cramps before them, than anything to surface yet in this millennium
