I found my two copies of AWAY FROM THE PULSEBEAT fanzine in the garage this past weekend as I was looking for things to scan for you. This late ‘87 issue might not have any lasting rock heroes featured within its pages of interviews (my favorite among those pictured was Killdozer, whom I probably last listened to in about 1993), but their photos were original and well-done, and the actual reviews touched on all of 1987’s true heroes – Lazy Cowgirls, Laughing Hyenas, Pussy Galore, Green River, Scientists and so on.

I’ll have various scans from both issues parceled out here on the ‘Hemorrhage over the next few weeks.

SOUTH BAY RIPPER was an early incarnation of the San Jose-based fanzine RIPPER that took hardcore punk’s reigns around 1981 and ran with ‘em, hard. This issue came out in early 1980, a pre-HC era in which the editors of this magazine were pontificating about Nick Lowe & Elvis Costello while arguing about what was “new wave” vs. what was “punk”.

There’s even a column in here in which a writer argues that he’s come up with an even better term for the paradigm-busting sounds of the day: “modern music”!

Since we’re posting fanzine scans, why not take a gander at the last one I made? This is SUPERDOPE #8, which came out in 1998. I have plenty of extra copies, for what it’s worth, and will mail one anywhere in the world if you’ve got $3 to Paypal me at jayhinman@hotmail.com. $4 for Canada, $6 everywhere else. 

It contains a long article called “45 45s That Moved Heaven and Earth” and is exactly what it sounds like. There are reviews of more current records of the era as well.

This is Issue #7 of the fanzine I used to put out in the 90s called SUPERDOPE. This one’s from 1994; I took a four year break after this one, and came back with a final issue in early 1998. 

DOO RAG don’t necessarily wear well with 18 years of hindsight, but at the time they’d just been through San Francisco and played three shows, all of which I saw. What a hoot. I mean, there was a guy named Thermos in the band, and it was the right time for a band to play twisted, fact-paced delta-slide blues on vacuum cleaners and cardboard boxes. 

I’ll try to scan the entire magazine and post it here and on The Hedonist Jive soon.
