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 would love to find "Adventures in Menstruation" # 2 and # 3. I tried to buy from lots of distros, but nobody has a copy of it indeed.

It would be great to locate any -- I'm Johnny and I Don't Give a Fuck --
I can find them pretty easy at zine libraries, but I would like to own some.
Also, anything by Adam Voith (he is more small press lit than zinester).

I'M JOHNNY... is one of my all time favorites. I have none to share with you but it's well worth searching for. Now that's a zine some enterprising soul should publish in book form.

I've been looking for Outpunk, I believe issue 5 (I think I have 4,6, & 7) for years!! I loved that zine!!

So, some festive nutball at the most recent Portland Zine Symposium dumped a shitload of copies of two early eighties SST Raymond Pettibon zines on the free table and I grabbed a couple of each. I know they're facsimiles because they have the same handwritten numbers photocopied on them, but I'd be happy to pass them along in exchange for early copies of Murder Can be Fun, issues of Pathetic Life, Danger!, or Dishwasher. Copies of Crank # 1 or # 2 would be neat as well. I'd also be quite willing to pay a few bucks for any of the aforementioned zines. Actually, I may prefer that to trading copies of copies of zines I had nothing to do with!!

i'd love to find basically any of the riot grrrl zine from the early 90's - bikini kill, jigsaw youth, girl germs etc.

in fact, just riot grrrl zines in general, i love reading them!

How much of the DISHWASHER zine wasn't in the DISHWASHER book? I sort od assumed that most of the zine that was written by Pete himself was in the book, but I'm not sure.

Speaking of which, a book compiling all the issues of MURDER CAN BE FUN would be great. I can't imagine why no one has approached Johnny about it.

And if xeroxes are OK I could hook you up with some PATHETIC LIFEs, but I'm not ready to part with the originals.

[Dr. Danny Swank]

I've never actually read Dishwasher (the zine), but I did read the book last year and it made me curious.

I've never read Pathetic Life either, but have heard nothing but good things and will take the text any way I can get it! You'd be the king of the popes if you could make that happen.

I read somewhere (maybe those RE/Search zine books?) that John Marr wanted to put MCBF out in a book form, but since he's given up the print zine in favor of a blog on books and film noir, I just don't see that happening. But oh, how I'd like to be proven wrong!

i know i read one issue of DISHWASHER, but to tell the truth I don't think I found it terribly interesting. But I thought the book was great so it's possible either i was in a bad mood or it was an off issue. I seem to remember a lot in there that wasn't written by Pete so who knows?
I'll send you some copies of PL. I've some other stuff to send you so I'll send them then. You can send me couple bucks if you want because I'm not terribly interested in Ray Pettibon's zines.

I would think MCBF would be a perfect concept for a book. Just take the zines, edit them slightly and bam, there's your book. I know a lot of people who have never even heard of zines would love a book filled with fucked up deaths and the like.

What? Dishwasher was excellent, as was Pathetic Life. I love zines like those (Blood Donor, Cometbus, Broken Hipster, Spaghetti Dinner & Dancing, etc.) that are both totally filled personal stories but also are written for a larger audience to give us a peak into an obsession or world we never might see otherwise. Those are my favorite kind of perzines. The Dishwasher when he goes to an oil platform to wash dishes? Or the Pathetic Life where he takes out an ad to do anything for $5 and ends up shaving a guy's ass? Classic. Peter Bagge (who did Hate comic and a bunch of Fantagraphics and Sub Pop artwork) did a zine reading one time with me and a bunch of other folks at ZAPP and read that ass shaving story from Pathetic Life. I swear the audience was in tears they were laughing so hard.
