Joy Division - Les Bains Douches (Paris) / Ian Curtis par Danny Dupic.

Photo parue dans "SORDIDE SENTIMENTAL, 001 - octobre 1980 -

SORDIDE SENTIMENTAL était un Fanzine rock, new-wave et cold-wave de Rouen, complément du label du même nom. Le fanzine accompagnait le plus souvent un disque, auquel il ajoutait une tonalité graphique.

YOUR RIGHTS ACCORDING TO THE CLASH: a mini zine made by me!

[archeolatry]

Go take a look at this beautiful trove of old SparkSound magazines someone is selling on eBay. For the price they might as well be made out of gold, but the seller's been nice enough to take big, largely readable photos of so many of the issues. Is there a similar digital hoard of scanned versions? I'd love to see more! (I've seen photo pages in full but only snippets of the rest.) The absolute like... raw, sloppy, fanzine chaos of these as as official publications from a major label band is blowing my fucking mind, even if it is just for the fan club. It's literally their mom cutting and pasting and cramming mentions from both Melody Maker and TV Guide onto an A3 sheet of paper, layouts be damned. The apostrophe on her typewriter is broken for a couple issues but she carries on with an asterisk. She's also around 60 by this point and banging this out to an audience of hundreds or thousands like it's a local Kiwanis club newsletter. But she's doing it with gusto, by gum, and it's punk as hell. The best thing about it is that the lack of style is made up for by the absolute top-tier access to the band, and her being surprisingly on top of pertinent details.

For those of you who weren't in a fandom before the internet, those behind-the-scenes photos were like your favorite band's proof of life. There was no Instagram or Twitter, or anything that proved they existed between national TV appearances and touring in your area (besides those mentions in Melody Maker anyway). If you were lucky, your fandom had the capacity to trade videotapes and people in Scranton could see local TV appearances in Los Angeles and vice-versa. If you were really lucky they weren't all copies of copies with potato quality sound and video. Likewise, if you wanted the 12" extended European dance mix of a song with a B-side unavailable in the US, you had to either special order it somewhere and pay through the nose, hope it was in the imports section of a record store (and still pay through the nose), or you had to trade cassettes or burned CDs and hope the other person didn't flake on you. The fact that she's saying "Don't go running to the import section yet, the single will be out on ____ record label on this date with this track listing" is WAY more info than we usually got from our official sources. All "Mary Martin" needed to do for exclusive content was take pictures of her sons on vacation. On one page she's absolutely dunking on Russell them in wry cut-and-paste captions and on another she is the perfect hype man, telling people shows at The Greek Theater are gonna sell out so get your tickets early (but hold your horses on travelling- they're working on Japanese dates for September so you may not need to fly to the US). The personal thank-yous! The CARE! *slams fist on table* If any other band had their mom as the head of their fan club it'd be the most contrived shit in the universe, a complete lie, or both. I fucking love these guys.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYUICHI, MY LOVE!!! : O !!! <3 !!!

Two days before Ryuichi's 54th birthday I went full force into my LUNA SEA love again.

I first started it as a way to show a friend how I sometimes get into drawing practice by making a drawing in the span of a song.

I ended up drawing, in that spirit, the whole "NEVER SOLD OUT" live double album from the may (29th) 1999, the whole 24 songs.

And I turned it into a FREE ZINE! You can find it on my itch.io page! Not linking it here because it will shadow ban the post but you can find all the links on my profile!

As usual my art wishes no harm, discomfort or disrespect to anyone!

The light shipping, sensual or violent elements are all symbolic. It's really light and general audience (no nudity, no gore,...) but just in case. It is also quite queer, but, come on! It's Visual Kei!!

YOU WILL NOT REGRET HAVING QUEER STUFF ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR FREE!

(this artwork was done yesterday/today, a redraw of one of the zine art, hence why it's so polished, I did not do this in 4:43! : O)

Nina Hagen, 1980.

[theunderestimator-2]

Wish they all could be California girls: Pleasant Gehman looking cool when punk was not considered cool, here in San Francisco on a trip to see Blondie play at Winterland in 1978, as captured by Theresa Kereakes.

Author, artist, poet, dancer and witch Pleasant Gehman has called Los Angeles home since the ‘70s and she has lived the type of life that one would have to be there to believe. In early 1978, along with her best friend from high school, the late Randy Kay, she started punk rock fanzine Lobotomy -and did it for all the right reasons:

“The main reason we wanted to start a fanzine was so we could get free records and get into shows. We took our title from The Ramones song “Teenage Lobotomy”. 

Since punk was a totally underground subculture, when we were working on Lobotomy, we never had to deal with agents, managers or major record companies-we had access to everyone in the bands themselves. Our friends were in bands, or we’d meet bands who were friends of friends, or simply call a hotel where a band we liked was staying (usually the Tropicana Motel or The Continental Hyatt House on Sunset, which was known locally as “The Riot House”) We’d ask the band if they’d want to hang out, go record or thrift store shopping or take them to a gig, and interview them.  Most of the time, we became fast friends. We were semi-delinquent teenagers who hung out with and interviewed artists  who later became known as the groundbreaking stars of the late 20th Century. 

And since no one was on guard and absolutely nothing was being filtered through a publicist, those interviews were extremely candid and totally wild. For example, Brian Tristan aka Kid Congo and I interviewed Lydia Lunch while she and her new husband Johnny O’Kane were in bed having sex; Theresa and I interviewed Blondie while crammed into the tiny bathroom in Theresa’s apartment during a raging party, while all of us were high on Quaaludes and beer. 

I probably don’t need to tell you that shit like that just doesn’t happen any more, right?”
