THE GERMS, live at San Francisco’s Mabuhay Gardens in 1978 doing “No God”.

The new Punk 45 Los Angeles comp has an interview with Chris Desjardins (Flesh Eaters, Upsetter Records, Slash magazine) in which he lists his favorite bands of the era. He lists The Germs “on record”, and makes a very clear distinction “…as opposed to their live show, which was hard to follow because Darby was always too drunk” (or something along those lines; don’t have the exact quote in front of me).

Pretty much why every Germs live record or tape I’ve had gets listened to once and then forgotten.

Just finished putting together our interview with Sara Fancy, aka Sara, aka Sara Goes Pop, aka one half of Amos & Sara – early 80s sub-underground UK DIY lounge pop from another dimension.

Tracking her down required some real internet sleuthing, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. This will be part of Dynamite Hemorrhage #3 fanzine, out in a couple months. In the meantime, take a listen to 1981′s “In a Hell-Bed” here.

In the pre-podcast, pre-iPod, pre-Smartphone age, circa 2000-2001, I was an “online DJ” for a Seattle-based online radio website called ANTENNA RADIO.

It was, alas, based upon 2000-2001 technology, so prepping my DJ-less, voiceless show (a weekly 50s-60s garage punk and R&B thing I did called “No Count Dance Party”) involved recording LPs and 45s onto cassette, then feeding the resulting mix into the computer, then chopping it up into Real Audio files. This process took about 3 hours per week, including the “liner notes” I’d write using Adobe Page Mill.

I found that the Wayback Machine still had some pages saved for Antenna Radio, and thought I’d post a few snaps here for fun.

Rare photograph of San Francisco’s WORLD OF POOH, featuring Barbara Manning and Jay Paget – both pictured – as well as Brandan Kearney, who isn’t.

We have an oral history in the works with the full participation of all 3 WORLD OF POOH members (and Alex Behr, and about a half-dozen others) for Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #3, coming in late May 2016. Transcribing a revealing and detailed interview we did with Barbara Manning today, in fact.
