From the “Super Deluxe” version of The Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat” 3xCD box.
I really couldn’t help myself. I probably have virtually all of the tracks collected on the new 3xCD box set of “White Light/White Heat” somewhere; spread out on various bootlegs and downloads and whatnot. I wanted it anyway.
It sounds and of course looks amazing (full color book with flyers, photos and ephemera from the WL/WH version of the band) , and there are tracks that many of us, myself included, had not heard before, like an early version of “Beginning To See The Light” that John Cale plays on that’s amazing. So yeah, it’s a lot of $$ to hear new permutations of a record you’ve already played hundreds of times over a lifetime, but I have a hankerin’ that some of you are going to pull the trigger like I did anyway.
In the mood for something stupid? I guess I am as well. Try “Brass Knuckles” by PERSONAL & THE PIZZAS on for size this afternoon. Look who’s back in town, unh?

Which one of these e-magazines for your tablet is not like the other?
DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE fanzine #1 now available for iPad, Android and Kindle Fire tablets and for desktop/laptop computers, via Magzter!
There are two key advantages to reading our new fanzine this electronic way, as opposed to the print edition (which is probably still your better bet, since you can hold it in your hands, pass it around, let it “accumulate value"etc.):
Hey, it’s an experiment on our end. I’m kind of blown away that Magzter even accepted it, and is retailing it next to Cosmo, BusinessWeek and so on.
If you’ve like to pre-order the DH #1 print version, which will be ready to ship by 12/31, come to our home page and click the Paypal link on the righthand side.
YOU’VE GOT THE RUNAROUND -Dynamite Hemorrhage’s Best of 2013
I made an online mixtape over at 8tracks of 28 of my favorite things that came out in 2013. If you’ve listened at all to the podcast we put together every couple of weeks, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard many of these righteous tunes, but you might wish to hear them again, right?
I think it’s fair to say that it was a “good year” for music, as years go. This mix is ample proof.
Listen to “You’ve Got The Runaround – Dynamite Hemorrhage’s Best of 2013”
For those of you who thought I’d abandoned what was once my “main” blog The Hedonist Jive – I haven’t. For those of you who didn’t know about it, check it out. For those of you who couldn’t care less – sorry to bother you.
The Hedonist Jive is where I write about books, film, non-rock music, sports, culture and high & low art in all its forms. I also post awesome 1950s, 60s and 70s motel postcards at The Postcard Motel. Tell a friend!
This is an “aborted” cover for Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #1. We went in a different direction for our first issue, which you can now pre-order for $7 plus shipping anywhere in the world. They’ll be sent out next week. More information here.
Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine’s contributing editor Erika Elizabeth’s final phony podcast of 2013 is now posted and ready for download. If you haven’t dug into an “Expressway to yr Skull” radio show yet, friend, you haven’t yet lived.
Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #1 is now at the printer – and if anyone’s interested, we’re currently taking pre-orders. It will be shipped before December 31st, as I’ll have these in my hands right after Xmas.
What’s in this 68-page magazine, you ask? Here’s what we (me, Erika Elizabeth and Fuckin’ Record Reviews) wrote for you:
It’s $7 plus shipping to anywhere in the world. In the US, tack on an additional $2 for shipping; $3.50 in Canada; $5 for anywhere else on the planet. If that’s a little much for you, and/or if you’ve spurned old-school print in favor of digital, there should be a tablet edition available for a mere $5 in coming weeks.
Ordering information – via Paypal – is right here on the Dynamite Hemorrhage site. You can also go into Paypal directly and fire over your order to us at dynamiteh(at)outlook(dotcom). It’ll be at your doorstep within a couple of weeks.
