deadly, looking forward to seeing this issue too when i get back, nice to see a music zine coming out rather than another perzine (man am i wiped on perzines, in case ya didn't know Lucidity is dead), long live thedevilon45 zine which is gonna be fuckin huge by the looks of it, hueg and fancy!

also with a deadly article about one of the originators of western swing spade cooley who made his daughter watch him kick his wife to death, so yeah fun for all the family!!!

Dropped some copies into Red Ink today

 

[Eddie Gorilla]

Deadly, I'll be in Dublin during the week so I'll pick one up.
Heard good things about the first one anyway.

 

[LamStock]

bought this today, along with SeanR's zine, both very good, both very different

 

[Eddie Gorilla]

I imagine Seans more personal, and Mackles more music-based..?

correct, i didn't know it was Mackles till i logged on here

 

[mackle]

Glad you liked it! I think I might have read some of SeanRs at my mates gaff. Is it like really personal and has diary entries in it?

 

[ci]

Think it's his first zine... it's mostly personal. Jumbled up diary entries and so forth...Joke of the week goes to him in it though-

"How many emo kids does it take to change a light bulb?

None, those pussies cry in the dark."

I'll pick yours up during the week mackler.

 

[KatieMutated]

I'll pick it up when im in Red Ink during the week.

And on a random note, Eoddy I love your avatar "Kill your brother. You'll feel better."

 

[el Jefe]

Would love to get some copies of this. Trade you a record for a few? Maybe i'll be meeting you in person at some point soon...

Let me know

 

[taubstumm]

got this today, great stuff.

has anyone read the fugazi interview properly yet?

Vacant Sound: Does it ever bother you that the media seems to point Fugazi out as being the only ones that seem to fly the flags for the principals of DIY? Don't get me wrong I totally respect this but I always find it strange that the media has focused on you guys so specifically for this when there are so many bands doing it.

Guy Picciotto: Well, the media paints with a ridiculously fat brush so it's not suprising if they are a bit reductive. I do think there was a bit of a Dodo bird aspect to the way Fugazi was sometimes portrayed - like, "look at this amusing and thankfully extinct bunch of control freaks running their band in this oddly prehistoric way" when in point of fact, there had been and continues to be a long and glorious history of underground music and ethics well beyond Fugazi.

That said, I do think it is rare for bands of our size to maintain as autonomous a position as we did till the end - we managed to make it work on a larger scale than most people thought an independent punk band could get away with and we stuck to our guns. Still, we never ever thought of ourselves as completely unique in our methodology or as alone on the face of the earth - we always felt part of a larger community of bands, each doing things in their own way.

that's the past tense that guy is using there, folks.
