Hello Aaron!

Nice to see another zinester of color on here who is also into punk. Minor Threat is awesome and I also have a soft spot for nineties emo and hardcore. ^_^

Nice fro, by the way. Have a nice day, whenever you get this.

i meant to say in the 2nd sentence:

*i dont think a zine would be very effective at getting LOTS of people to check out a band.

oh well just the musucians i like and enjoy. i dont think a zine would do many people interested in the bands they've interviewed... if a couple go and check out some band because i interviewed them then that is awesome. but realistically, a blog or website would be more effective at that.

i spend ALOT of time searching the internet for music i wanna hear y'know, i don't pay much attention to my 'local music scene'. if i did then my zine would definately be easier to sell.

my... blog?? did you mean to write that or did you mean my zine?

well that sounds cool... (have you seen the Touch & Go complete fanzines book? its pretty cool stuff).... sadly i can't think of any punk/hc zines that have multiple contributors. but i do own a HEAP of them.

oh and - i think its hard to say whether to do a zine straight away and develop it or to to wait till yr ready... altho i can say that i started my own zine with absolutely no thought: i thought up a title, got some content together, etc. and it turned out really weird and i kinda regret it... so i can say that if you do it like i did: by the time you've gotten 'good', you'll be feeling pretttty embarrased about yr early issues

& my own zine.... is going good =D

and if you ever wish to trade then say sso.... maybe once you've done a zine!

kewl.

well, what's your favourite zine you've read so far?? and what zines are you , like, using as a model for the one you want to do?
