Well it's 8:00 on Weds. night and I'm NOT watching that 70's show. Why you ask, because of stupid American Idol. Eff that! Onto other things. The new issue is 99% finished. I'm waiting on ads/payment from 3 labels and then it's off to the printer. I hate the business aspect of doing a zine though. It's a pain to get people to pay up. Other bad things include getting TONS of shitty cds. Do the people that send me review stuff even bother to notice that I do a HARDCORE zine? I'm super psyched on this new issue. 64 pages again. I'm trying to decide on newsprint or white wove paper. If everyone had their stuff in on time, I could print on white wove on Monday. It'll be 2 weeks before they do another run of white wove. I wonder if I have the patience? On a sad note about the new issue, it looks as if there won't be 200 with a new One Up 7". The plan kind of fell through. Long story. In a perfect world, I will release my first 7" by Posi Numbers.
Mike just got here, so I guess it's time to play some Madden. hopefully I am on tonight, last week was fucking brutal!
Some good newer bands I've been listening to: Look Alive, Have Heart, Righteous Jams, Breakthrough.
Top three bands in hardcore right now: Desperate Measures, The First Step, One Up. Also check out Our Turn, Worn Thin, Verse (amazing band), Blacklisted, Drug Test. And the new Damage Control lp is the best record to come out of Europe. Wait til that comes out!!!
