DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE #3 UPDATE

A new, large, overflowing Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine’s on the way. We just need to actually make the thing first.

We just finished up an interview with Belgian early 80s punks UNIT 4 (pictured); we’ve persuaded Free Form Freakout’s David Perron to come aboard and write reviews of left-field, sub-underground, non-rocknroll weirdo records; we rounded up the members of late 80s/early 90s San Francisco falling-apart pop act WORLD OF POOH to agree to an oral history; we have an interview with Velvet Underground Appreciation Society founder Phil Milstein nearly done; and even 2016’s LITHICS are getting a well-earned place at the table.

Oh, there’s more as well. Tim Presley from WHITE FENCE will get a “Dynamite Hemorrhage grilling” in the near future. Erika Elizabeth’s writing record reviews. Jay’s writing record and film reviews.

If that sounds at all interesting, we’ll do our best to make sure it actually is. In the meantime, back issues are available right here.

Some scans from Brian Doherty’s SURRENDER fanzine #5, which I’d date at about 1994 or so.

Doherty was simultaneously, or just thereafter, a member of the zonkers art/garage punk band SAWDUST CAESARS – who put out a 45 on In The Red – and also, subsequently and currently a writer and editor at libertarian stalwart magazine REASON. I read his history of the libertarian movement “Radicals For Capitalism” some years back, before I’d fully realized I was actually a pretty rotten libertarian, and just started calling myself a liberal.

Doherty got a big interview out of Gregg Turkington in issue #5 as well – too long to scan. Turkington’s latest film, “Entertainment”, was a huge disappointment, but he remains one of the most consistently right-on & baffling comedic personalities of any era.

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.

*** 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.

One of the great lost fanzines of the 1990s, BAZOOKA. This is the 4th issue from October 1998. Published by one Tom Arnaert of Ieper, Belgium, the ‘zine was a diverse & exceptionally well-written mix of punk, world music, dub, 78s and modern dirty blues. And yes, it’s written in English.

Anyone know how to get in touch with Mr. Arnaert?

Final copies! 

I’m down to the last 13 copies of DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE #1, a 68-page print fanzine that came out exactly two years ago. 

The new price reflects the fact that they’re just about gone, and won’t be reprinted. But hey – so maybe you don’t want to spring for that, but DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE #2 is a mere $3.99 plus shipping, and that’s 84 pages, a year newer and arguably a better overall read. 

DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE #3? Good question. “We’re working on it”. Stay tuned.

BULL TONGUE REVIEW, true to their mission, has actually published a clockwork four print issues now on a quarterly basis. Fantastic stuff.

#4 just arrived in the mail two days ago, and I’ve only had time to tackle the Coley/Moore opening salvo of highly obscure records, chapbooks, tapes & proper books. “Exploring all known undergrounds” – no kidding. I’ll admit a fair bit of jealousy toward those who’ve got the time and the gumption to do this much exploring, but hey, I’ll settle for late to the party – as long as I’m allowed at the party in the first place.

So far, upon finishing the first three issues I’ve found myself better-versed in the far-reaching sub-underground than I was a few hours previous, and often more than a little frustrated with some of the contributors. You’ve got certain people throwing up stream-of-thought wordplay and unrepressed societal dislocation on the most inane topics imaginable, and it’s all I can do to not want to mail a dictionary, a Xanax and a copy of “How To Win Friends and Influence People” to a select few of them. It might make for infuriating reading at times, but Bull Tongue Review seems to have been hatched from the same ur-brain that the late 60s underground papers & broadsheets were, and I try to read each issue in that spirit.

Moreover, in addition to Byron Coley’s multi-page review-spew introduction, there are phenomenal arbiters of culture each month like Tom Lax, Erika Elizabeth, Suzy Rust, Brian Turner, Chris D., Alex Behr, Marc Masters, Phil Milstein, Donna Lethal and many more of my all-time heroes. I truly wasn’t sure if it would make it past issue #1 or #2 – my thing sure didn’t – but here we are with one of analog culture’s most consistently mind-scrambling cultural treasures.
