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…

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 – September 1979
This issue was a mixed bag of meh. Like, the Devo article was really good and the Made in Japan article was really good, but the Blondie article (which was pretty good) was waaaaaaay too long. Also, not a lot of ads. I mean in general not a lot of ads. Sometimes it doesn’t seem…

Trouser Press Thursdays – August 1979
I’m apologizing in advance: I’m getting an endoscopy later today (the day I’m writing this), so I’m hangry and thirsty and it may effect my attitude while writing this weeks review. Hopefully in a good way, because we all know my writing and opinion is shit. Good thing I’m not getting a colonoscopy. Anyways, this…

Trouser Press Thursdays – July 1979
So last week there was no Trouser Press Thursdays because I was out of town. I thought I might have been able to get it done before leaving, but that never happened. No big deal. But I was STRUGGLIN’ this week while doing this review. One thing I like about this magazine is that it…

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…

Trouser Press Thursdays – May 1979
Nobody told me there’d be lots of cool ads in this issue. I’ll be honest – I’m not a John Lennon fan at all. Yeah, he did some great music, but I don’t like how he treated people (including his own son.) But surprise – I don’t hate Yoko. Yeah, I use the term “Yoko-ing”…
