Fanzine Tuesday!- The Kvinde Hader Klub (issue #7, March 1990)

I'm pretty sure that The Big Takeover's Jack Rabid hipped me to this zine way back when, and he introduced me to the publisher/editor Herb Jue back then as well, and Herb began handing/mailing me issues of the KHK.

Some of the issues I have are full sized 8.5" by 11" and others (earlier ones) are a little bigger than digest-sized, but the one thing I've always struggled with this zine is that the type is so teeny tiny that I had a hard time reading it back then, and I have a harder time reading it now, 30 plus years later.

Also, some issues were handwritten, and the later ones were typed, and a few were half and half (ha ha ha). Having said all of that, Herb always had great taste in music and a great sense of humor, and I always loved reading this mag. He mostly reviewed records (like a ton) and other zines as well.

Man, I loved (and miss) those old days of printed music zines. I know good ones still exist (like Jack's Big Takeover), but not like the old days.

I Dropped In to WFMU for a Guest DJ Set!

Hey, all you ear-starved trash punks! The all great and knowing radio deity that is @wfmu (DJ Frank Caira, specifically) recently invited me to come on and spin some tunes for an episode of their Drop-In show on Rock'n'Soul Radio.

With this DJ set -- dubbed "Urbane Renewal" (after an unused Death of Samantha album title) -- I whipped up a mini-history of the local latter-1980s Cleveland underground scene that turned me into a musical miscreant!

It was my first time DJing on WFMU (New Bomb Turks played on it live years ago), and it was quite an honor!

So click above and give it a listen. It's an hour of leftover Industrial Age smog-fueled fun!
