Zine Archives PT. 3 – Band Gig Flyers
Eight or nine years ago (give or take), the parents of my friend Mark were selling their home and cleaning it out. During this process, they found three boxes in the garage that belonged to me, so they had Mark bring them over to my house. Two of those boxes ended up in the back…

Welcome to the Jungle – Los Angeles Rock Review, October 1989
Y’all ready to rock out with your cock out? I picked up this issue of Los Angeles Rock Review from October 1989 and it’s a perfect time capsule of the LA music scene at that time. It’s mostly hair metal, but we do have a little bit of punk rock and it goes a little…

Sunset House Catalog, 1970
Like most living, breathing people, I used to love shopping at Spencer’s Gifts. Granted, as a child I had no need for blacklight marijuana posters, edible panties, or naked fat lady birthday cards, but there was always plenty of cool stuff for people of all ages. And if you don’t know (now you know), Spencer’s…

Trouser Press Thursdays – October 1979
So we got David Bowie for October. Not totally spooky, but certainly spookier than say….Elvis Costello? I have one big complaint about this issue: Who in the fuck was their artist? Both this cover and the artwork for the Bowie article is fucking TERRRRRRRIBLE. Now I get it – not everyone can be Jack Davis…

Trouser Press Thursdays – June 1979
What’s so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Actually, I find all of it boring. Just like this June 1979 issue of Trouser Press. Despite having some articles and interviews with some of my favorite bands, this issue was a real snooze fest. The Elvis article was just some bloke waxing poetic about him, because…

Movin’ On Up: Part One of Los Angeles 1925
I don’t consider myself a “vintage paper snob”, but since I’ve been balls deep in it for so long, it takes something truly spectacular to take my breath away like Berlin. But I picked up this Los Angeles apartment guide from 1925 and it’s so great, I have no more words like Berlin!

Rustling Up Some Grub at the Steak Corral
As you know, I’m a sucker for a cheap steak. Not that I haven’t had (and liked) expensive steak. But sometimes you just need your meat desires met in the most efficient and inexpensive way possible. And that’s why Steak Corral is pretty rad.
