We shall speak of this only once. If you’re someone who enjoys the better things in life – namely excellent beer – you may be interested in another blog I’ve been doing (and which I recently resurrected after a period of being fed up with the whole thing) called BEER SAMIZDAT.
It’s a repository for various beer travel reports, reviews, musings, self-flagellating and other tossed-off writing and snark. If you’re interested, please have a look.
Good friend of the ‘Hemorrhage Bob Lee weighs in with an excellent piece on this past year’s Black Flag schadenfreude.
Very flattering endorsement of Dynamite Hemorrhage #1 from Ribbon Around a Bomb blog/website/podcast, saying all the things that I’d probably say if I had an unbridled, rapacious narcissistic personality disorder. Thank god someone else said it for me, and thanks to Erin for the very kind words.
Guess what, you guys. High tech killed the garage rock scene in San Francisco. It says so right here.
Some first-rate economic philosophizing in this exceptionally silly article.
Garage Is Over: The Cutting Edge of S.F. Rock Is Now Hard and Angry
Gerard Cosloy’s 12XU label and distribution arm are distributing Dynamite Hemorrhage #1, and had these nice things to say about it in their online catalog:
Superdope’s Jay Hinman returns to the print zine wars to find almost all of his old contemporaries retired (ahem) and new hopefuls few & far between in the blog/tumblr era.

If have any idea how much it costs to print & ship this sort of thing, this time is almost certainly NOT NOW but full credit to Mr. Hinman for throwing caution to the wind and getting his hands very dirty just the same.
For those of you who thought I’d abandoned what was once my “main” blog The Hedonist Jive – I haven’t. For those of you who didn’t know about it, check it out. For those of you who couldn’t care less – sorry to bother you.
The Hedonist Jive is where I write about books, film, non-rock music, sports, culture and high & low art in all its forms. I also post awesome 1950s, 60s and 70s motel postcards at The Postcard Motel. Tell a friend!
Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine’s contributing editor Erika Elizabeth’s final phony podcast of 2013 is now posted and ready for download. If you haven’t dug into an “Expressway to yr Skull” radio show yet, friend, you haven’t yet lived.
A single of the week for the wiry rebel girl rock of Nots
I’m a big fan of this record as well. There are some vocal histrionics you need to get comfortable with – and I’m quite comfortable – and the music is a wild ride of garage punk & panic pop. Another aces review from Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine contributing editor Erika Elizabeth.
Sick, sad readers: I am thrilled and honored to share with you the first official music video from my favorite act currently tearing shit up in the Midwest: Sex Tide. Their new video for the track …
