Tim Ellison at ROCK MAG fanzine was kind enough back in 1997 to let me do a special “supplement” of my own then-fanzine within his. Thanks, Tim. I’d totally forgotten about this until I found it in my garage fanzine-storage locker a couple weekends ago.

I had probably quit SUPERDOPE (”for good”) that year or something. Of course, I came back with another issue in 1998 – the last one, as it turned out.

Here I take cracks at the Blues Explosion (!), Hampton Grease Band, Alex Chilton, Dwarves, Screamers, Urinals and others.

Honey Radar – Instant Replay Finger lathe cut 7” EP (What’s Your Rupture?/Third Uncle) / Giraffe 7” EP (Chunklet)

still-single:

RECOMMENDED

In step with a forthcoming new LP and hopefully a wider
audience, Jason Henn continues to play for the faithful few, who have every
cause to get excited about the proceedings on these two new limited releases.
Dude’s lathe cuts sound far superior to anything else I’ve heard on this
scarce, handmade format, with a full range of fidelity and very little hiss or
compromise, and it’s a great look for a record far more commercially viable
than it purports – there are only 50 copies of Instant Replay Finger to go around, and it contains two of the most
straightforward, single-driven tracks in his history in “Milk Maid” and “Doll.”
Giraffe, limited to 150, almost feels
generous by comparison, but reflects as deeply on Honey Radar’s meandering side
as it does the project’s commitment to late ‘60s psych/folk strum-burn, to the
layperson something like White Fence exhaling into a stack of dryer sheets … countless layers of softness, levels rising and falling as if they’re part of the band,
the silence becoming louder. (http://whatsyourrupture.bigcartel.com)

Good roundup on the latest tidal wave of HONEY RADAR vinyl from Doug at Still Single.

Christina Madonia – whom you may now know as recording artist CHRISTINA CARTER – reviews fanzines in a free record store publication in late 1991.

My own Superdope fanzine from that time is reviewed here, and I believe my quotes come from a pre-internet interview Christina did with me via mail.

BLOAT was a well-done publication back in an era when record stores like Houston, TX’s Sound Exchange actually made enough money to support such an endeavor.

Some scans from Tim Ellison’s ROCK MAG fanzine, circa 1992, published out of San Diego. This was one of the best of the era – a, unpredictable digest-sized deep dive into the music-obsessed cranium of Mr. Ellison. Ellison also played guitar in The Nephews at the time.

Later he changed the name to MODERN ROCK MAGAZINE (!) for the last issue or two. I’ve got other scans from it forthcoming.

I love your radio shows. I’ve thought about doing something similar but am scared away by legalities around playing music in a podcast. Do you have thoughts on that? Do you simply avoid names big enough to care? Whatever you do, don’t stop – it’s great. Any thoughts/info you care so share is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Anonymous – thanks a lot for the kind words. I too was worried about that, and asked around a little like you’re doing back in 2012, but at this point I’ve been doing this for 3+ years with no issues at all. 

iTunes accepts the podcasts, and many others like mine, which leads me to believe that music-based shows like this are generally OK. I think avoiding big names is in everyone’s best interests. Good luck, and please drop us a link once you’ve posted your first one….

*** UPDATE – thanks very much to our 8 buyers. That went quickly. Superdope #5 now officially deleted from the catalog ***

Look what the long weekend turned up. Just found the final 8 copies of SUPERDOPE #5, a fanzine I put out in 1992. 

They’re not doing much of worth sitting in my garage, so I’ve put these last copies up for sale if you’re interested. 

It reflects my obsessions of the day: raw third-wave garage punk (interviews with THOMAS JEFFERSON SLAVE APARTMENTS and THE NIGHTKINGS) as well as weirdo avant-pop (cover interview with FLY ASHTRAY).

Reviewers are by Jay Hinman, Tom Lax, Glen Galloway and Doug Pearson. There’s an article about the THINKING FELLERS UNION LOCAL 282 by Grady Runyan, and a piece about a still-active San Francisco dive bar called the Uptown by Jay.

Once these 8 copies are gone, this thing is finally, severely out of print. 

Check it out here.
