Wasted Opportunities zine is great... they recently released a 'fragments' series which reissued individual interviews in small, affordable samplers which I really liked - https://wastedopps.bandcamp.com/ - a good distro too!

someone reached out to me about a year ago about this project. I sent them the full Cell Lunch run and they scanned it and made really nice pdfs of the whole thing for this online archive. The list is not comprehensive, but will make you salivate none the less. I assume it will be free to access.

Not sure when the website will launch, but I'm looking forward to it.

      This is my first post on here and I’m not trying to push my shit. Just happy to have found this and get off Meta.

      Anyway, I do a zine called Bile Ball. Just finished the third issue. Interviewed: Vermin Host (Buffalo thrash metal), film director Chris Bickel and his latest flick Pater Noster and the Mission of Light, Dick Lucas of the Subhumans, and NWOBHM legend Tony “Demolition” Dolan. This one went a bit metal. Previous two are more punk, hardcore to be precise.

      Picked up Radio Dies Screaming and Film Hemorrhage by Jay Hinman who does/ did Dynamite Hemorrhage, Clevo Style: How Decades of Cleveland Punk and Hardcore Shaped the World, and issues 1 and 2 of Cathode Ray Mission A Horror and Sci-fi fanzine out of Chicago.

      All in the past two weeks and all decent to great.

      11th hour stubble pumped to check these out, thanks for making them available!

      On the zine topic, I would absolutely love to see a collection of all the Wipeout! Issues. What say you you @Eric O ?

          Mystery_Ship See I'm not the only one who's bummed they missed the copy Tom Lax sold haha. Definitely would love a Wipeout! anthology, just have one issue. There's a ton of classic zines I'd love to see reissued, especially Gerard Cosloy's Conflict (never gonna happen).

            New ish of the Bible should in theory be ready for the Retreat. Emily Robb, Adverts, Drew Owen, Elvis Costello, Post Punk Comps, Reviews, weird movie writeups and some other stuff...

              Al Dorado such a cool archive in there... really leaned on it for research when it first went online. i'll see if i can find some other zine uploads, i had a whole bunch of links but lost them somehow!

                  If the LA Reader ever makes it to archive, I’ll do some cartwheels.

                  Courtesy note confirming this is out & Total Punk has 'em up for sale.

                  Edition w/ Comp Comp tape sold out other than a couple copies to be dropped off @ Lloyd's in Oakland. Theoretically could dub a few more if necessary.

                  Big level-up from #1, I say. Miranda's reviews + her interviews w/Emily & Drew are just outstanding.
