Old zines we wish we could find

[blackcarrot]

Old zines we wish we could find:

Since this is a forum for zine nerds, maybe here we can say "oh I wish I could find a copy of (blah blah blah) zine" and some other old fart can say "oh that zine, I have a copy of it in my attic!" and then we can trade, everyone goes home happy.

Does anyone remember a zine called: "The I Hate People Gazette"? It was late 80s/early 90s and was done by some sort of horror obsessed, goth kid from Maryland (I think). Anyone who has info, let me know? http://www.csh.rit.edu/~diablo/icon/icon15.html This is a defunct website, with no current informatiom, but that picture is fuckin awesome.

Also, a Montana based punk fanzine called "Shat Apon" (or Shat Upon) .. Anyone? anyone?

I'm sure there's more...

I remember a zine called Hate. It was just a list of things people hated, like "chiggers under our skin." I loved it.

Anybody remember Sanity Sux?

I'm still looking for copies of Adee Licious's finger on the trigger zine. I lost mine in a hurricane years ago.

i dunno why i just remembered this but one time my friend amy showed me this zine "tight pants." i think it was issue nine. i'd love to read that again. maybe even just to see if i'd like it as much now as i did when i was 14 or 15 haha

Okay, for years, about a decade I guess, if not longer, I've had 2 zines in my head, and I guess this forum would be the place to get it down in writing.

One is UNIT 33 ZINE and the other is SOCIAL OUTCASTE ZINE (or possibly just SOCIAL OUTCASTE). I've been meaning to dig through my multiple disorganized zine boxes and see if I could find their display ads so I could give you all a little more info and clues about them, but I've been procrastinating doing that. Maybe I'll dig them up and have that info for a future post.

I don't know what UNIT 33 was about, but somehow, either the name or the ad design caught my eye and stuck in my mind. Same with SOCIAL OUTCASTE. Somehow, I get a flash in my mind of Rodney Dangerfield in a wedding dress (which I know he wore in one of his late 80's/early 90's movies), but it just may have been a picture that for some reason evoked this image.

Anyway, I suspect that these were first issues and pretty much forgotten zines, but on the off chance that anybody else saw either the ads or the zines, I thought I'd ask, because I've long been curious about them. I think I may have tried to order one or both, but it came back "return to sender".

I liked TIGHT PANTS and I was way older than 15 when I read it so I think it'd still hold up. There were actually 2 zines called TIGHT PANTS- the one I liked was by Maddy, who still does occaisonal columns for RAZORCAKE & GO METRIC. The other was by someone else and I'm just gonna assume it sucked.

[Bri Zine]

yea i think it was the one by maddy. i will have to look into this...

As a librarian and collector I want any and all zines, especially when they are rare or out of print. Luckily I've collected a great amount of these for the UWM Library I work for including some of those old riot grrrl ones (bikini kill, jigsaw) and Factsheet 5 which are so hard to find. I would love to find more riot grrrl stuff, that girl (which seems to be printing more current issues), armchair revolution, and cootie. There are a few others I just loved but can't think of off the top of my head.

I've lost contact with three really excellent penpals over the years including tim of fun, forest, and fantasy (short lived), giovanni of cryptic slaughter (now publishing under a new title but i still don't have his contact), and sarah evans (definitely still printing). I would love to get a hold of these folks again.

tight pants WAS my pal maddy! last i heard she was in brooklyn i think. i haven't heard from her in years though and she used to date a good friend of mine. you're right, she does write for razorcake. i'm sure if you write to her through them she would send you some old copies. if not i have most of the issues and i could scan or copy for her (but would want to get her permission first of course).

I just came across an old single-sheeter I did in ditto about 12 years ago. One side is headed "Delinquent Zinesters", the other "Unresponsive Zine Libraries". From DZ, here's a list of 26 zines that apparently interested me enough to order them, but I never received. It was from June 28, 1995 to July 24, 1997. I spent a total of $27.75 in cash, $6.26 in stamps and sent 17 of my zines in trade. (I've tended to dismiss the risk of sending cash, but maybe these figures demonstrate that it's a more valid concern that I've thought.) Anyway, as much as it sounds like it, this isn't really a complaint or a grievance---if it ever was, I'm long over it---just some old zines I was curious about and still am (a little). I'm not dying for them, but if you have them, want to trade or xerox a copy for me, or have seen or just have some comments about them, it'd be moderately interesting to hear them. Now, the list:

Ape Canyon News, Andre Russell
Planet B, Basement Productions
Blank Contact Zine, Mr. Blank
Digestor Zine, David Urbano
Pumk, Ry Fyan
Comp Tape, Matthew Swain
Notes from the Trash Compactor, Jason
Primary, Nathan Lindsheid
Underground Zine Scene, John Ridge
Abortion: A Third Way, Vera Bradova
Cherry Bomb, Gary
Yeah...And?
It's Only Wrong if You, Ryan Disney
ApaRock, Eric Morgan Henriot
Disinfobahn, Bill Meier
Asylum for Shut-Ins, Mike
Reptiles of the Mind, Kat Jazz & M. McNeeley
Popularlife, Mary Arp
Q-Bert Fanzine, Matt Thomas
J. Cruelty Catalogue, Erik Farseth
Video List, Anthony Hagen
Skatopia, Ben Fish
Circa, James Knoblauch
Global Mail (Have several issues of this, but maybe not this one)
Prophet, Ryan Downey
Unjust Distro, Chris Holifield

THANKS!

I'm looking for 'Out of Control' i had #4 and lost it, but it was pretty great

I would maybe give up part of my baby toe for a few copies of Thrift Score. I have the compilation book, and it pretty much changed my entire life.
