After months of just yakking about it, my fanzine, Dynamite Hemorrhage #1, is printed and ready to ship. Those of you who’ve pre-ordered, I’m sending ‘em out today and tomorrow. Those of you who are interested in ordering – please do! Here’s what’s in it.

  • A meaty interview with Chris D. (Flesh Eaters), focused solely on 1977-80 LA punk; Slash magazine; Upsetter Records and his band
  • Retrospective and interview with Sally Skull, 1994-97 all female, criminally forgotten low-fidelity Scottish garage/art/punk band
  • Interviews with Sex Tide and Household, two of today’s hottest young hitmakers
  • Interview with the fellas from Bona Dish, an early 80s UK DIY band who’ve recently surfaced again thanks to a reissue of their cassette material
  • A comprehensive piece by the editor of Fuckin’ Record Reviews blog on various obscure 80s/90s fanzines
  • 56 record reviews, with many penned by Expressway To Yr Skull’s Erika Elizabeth
  • 17 (lengthy) book reviews

It’s $7 plus shipping (alas, shipping being extremely expensive these days) to anywhere in the world. In the US, tack on an additional $2.50 for shipping; $5 in Canada; $9.70 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 is also a full-color tablet & computer version for only $4.99 that you can order right here.

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). If you hate and don’t trust Paypal, get in touch and we can work it out.

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.

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.):

  • The tablet edition is in full color throughout, not just the cover
  • The tablet edition is only $4.99, as opposed to $7 for the print edition

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.

Tim Hinely is a great American whom I’ve known for a while, though I believe we’ve only clinked glasses together a couple of times, and never since the 1990s when he lived in the SF Bay Area (if Santa Rosa counts).

Tim’s been doing DAGGER fanzine since I was a teen and perhaps even before you were born. He’s just put out issue #46. It’s good (a fairly quick newsletter-style read, but good). You can get it from him for a few stamps or even a dollar. Learn more here.
