This fanzine, SUPERDOPE #8, is one that I put out in 1998, and one of which I still have multiple copies left. I’m selling if you’re buying.
It’s a digest-sized ‘zine with a long piece on my then-favorite 45rpm singles, each individually reviewed and explained. You can get a sense from the cover of what kind of music we’re talking about here. The magazine also has reviews of then-au courant rocknroll acts as well.
Only $3 to US residents ($4 Canada, $7 rest of world), via Paypal, to jayhinman(at)hotmail(dotcom). Make sure you provide your address to me there and I’ll wing one out to you right away.

I pulled in quite an ethnic music haul at Amoeba Music in San Francisco today. It’s probably the most I’ve spent in a single day on music in at least five years – thankfully mostly on credit.
While shopping at Amoeba I realized I was witnessing the store’s death rattle, which was unsurprising yet caught me a little off guard (examples: about 40 people in the enormous store on a Saturday afternoon; CD buy backs at about 25-50 cents a pop; no lines; diminished stock on just about everything; new reduced store hours (closing at 8 every night on a very high-trafficked street). I’ll write some more about that next week on my other music/film/literature blog The Hedonist Jive.
Always loved this; it’s from the June 18th, 1981 issue of the UK’s SOUNDS music newspaper. VICE SQUAD were one of the first straight-up punk records I ever bought, not long after this letter to the editor.
“Your true vocation is obviously a sensible home life with a loving husband (me?)…..”
I bought a copy of the UK’s SOUNDS magazine, dated June 18th, 1981, a few weeks after it came out at Little Professor Book Center in San Jose, CA. I was 13 years old, and it upended my world. Take a look at the “Indie” charts that week.
New episode of Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Podcast – our 14th. I recorded this over the weekend with you – you – in mind. I knew you’d want to hear new stuff from The Sleaze, The Delphines, Raw Prawn, The Wimps, Cheater Slicks and The Oblivians. I figured you’d be up for cuts from new reissues from Come and the Androids of Mu. And my thinking was that you’d also be real happy if I played some older stuff from Ty Wagner, Susan Lynn, The Other Half, Pussy Galore and a whole bunch more. So an hour and fifteen minutes later, Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #14 was ready to go.
