Typically wild and unsubtle CRYPT RECORDS ad, this one scanned from Forced Exposure #10, right after the first batch of “Back From The Grave” compilations had come out.

Ad for New Zealand’s insular psych/folk/noise label XPRESSWAY, scanned out of Siltbreeze fanzine #8, appx. 1989.

Teenage Mark Arm reviews a 1983 IGGY POP/POP-O-PIES show in Seattle. Scanned from Attack fanzine #8, April 1983.

THROAT CULTURE fanzine #2 from 1990 – an all-Lester Bangs issue.
This is one of the great Texas psychedelic monster guitar freakout songs, “Yellow Listen” by SCORPIO TUBE. From 1967, it’s as heavy and druggy as they come; one of my all-time faves.
You can listen to an entire compilation I made of this sort of sound right here.

WIPE OUT fanzine #7 from 1992, published by Eric Friedl/Oblivian of the Oblivians.

Teenage Mark Arm, reviewing Seattle’s THE U-MEN just as they were coming onto the scene in early 1983. Scanned from ATTACK fanzine #8.
