Rare photograph of San Francisco’s WORLD OF POOH, featuring Barbara Manning and Jay Paget – both pictured – as well as Brandan Kearney, who isn’t.
We have an oral history in the works with the full participation of all 3 WORLD OF POOH members (and Alex Behr, and about a half-dozen others) for Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #3, coming in late May 2016. Transcribing a revealing and detailed interview we did with Barbara Manning today, in fact.

Thanks to Andrea Feldman for the screen grab.

An excellent 5-song set of JOHN FAHEY live on BBC on May 28th, 1969 has been posted here, and it’s well worth the four seconds it’ll take to download.
A new print history of SLASH magazine is coming out in a month. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time – and really glad to see it will contain an oral history, essays and the like.
It may not be the compleat collection we’ve been begging for, but you can get that here, I guess.
DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE #3 UPDATE
As mentioned previously, we’re un-retiring the Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine. The Third Issue will be out in May or June, inshallah. Here’s what’s in it:
Order back issues here while u wait!
I don’t know what took me so long to order one, but FORDAMNING fanzine, published by one Matthias Andersson of Gothenburg, Sweden, is an excellent dive into the musty corners of sub-sub-underground rocknroll.
I’m currently reading #8 – the one with the It’s War Boys and Crisis of Taste features – and am very impressed w/ the depth of arcane knowledge and with the ability to convey it. Order yours here.
THE STACHES, from Geneva, live at San Francisco’s Eagle Tavern last night. They were fantastic & played only stuff from their upcoming LP.
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.
Hot desktop app alert. No, this is not an ad, but many of us use SoundCloud on a daily basis, and their interface is a little rough, right?
So here’s something called SOUNDNODE that works like Spotify, as an app that sits on your desktop & is quite a bit more intuitive that SoundCloud’s web-only interface. I’m always here for hott app recommendations if you need them.
