Live from our safe European home, it’s Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio, the 39th edition. This episode is brought to you by 11pm sundowns, World Cup watchathons that end at 2am in the morning and 4 cups of strong coffee per day. It travels multiple pathways of jangle, ear-shred and creepy-crawl folk/noise. Today’s modern heroes include MOLE HOUSE, ROACHCLIP, WOLF GIRL, HLEP, GOOD THROB, TRICK MAMMOTH, ADULTS, BATTY, and the utterly incomprehensible RÄJÄYTTÄJÄT.

Yesterday’s heroes include Look Blue Go Purple, Surgery, The Rats, Rhino 39, The Huns, Radio Pete and even the goddamn Donnas. We even play 2009 Dynamite Hemorrhage song obsession “Desert Fun” by The Mayfair Set (pictured) yet again. Download it, rate it, tell a friend about it and help stamp out disco.

The Young Marble Giants have had little live experience. Apart from their occasional Cardiff gigs, four in London is their sum total. Onstage, they’re extremely static and a little po-faced. Alison sings with her hands in her pockets while the Moxham brothers loom gauntly on either side of her, each with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.

The effect is a cross between the casual and the terrified.

“We don’t move because we’re so scared,” explains Alison.

Stuart embellishes a little. “As well as that, it isn’t particularly dance music, it is minimal. I think we’re quite English in a way, very restrained.

“But some of our songs, like "Choci Loni,” are quite funny, and people don’t seem to realise—"

“It’s probably the way I sing them,” mutters Alison.

“— but if they’d all stand around and laugh, we’d be delighted.” concludes Stuart.

An article on the AU PAIRS from RIPPER fanzine in 1981.

This “germinal” UK feminist agitprop post-punk band, one of my all-time faves, is sorta the fish out of water in this San Jose-based hardcore ‘zine, which otherwise features The Lewd, Wasted Youth, TSOL and Black Flag in the rest of the issue. Bully for Tim Tanooka & the boys for some vision and taste.

SONIC’S RENDEZVOUS BAND article written by Steve Watson for Superdope #1, a fanzine I put out in 1991. Steve passed away yesterday, and it’s hit those who knew him pretty hard despite ample warning that his passing was coming.

Funny story about this one: Steve gave me his typewritten pages for the piece and I published it as is. I thought the ending was a little clunky, but good, and neither of us thought anything of it until we actually saw it in print. That’s when Steve realized he’d forgotten to give me the last couple of pages (!). We talked about putting “Part 2” in Superdope’s second issue, and somehow it never happened.

The flyers in the piece came from Steve’s personal collection; this was his favorite band while he was growing up in Michigan. Best wishes to him in the great beyond, and to all who knew him.
