Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - Electric Annihilation Issue #1 Out Now (Thurston Moore, Henry Rollins, Emeralds)

here are some quick blurbs about EA:

"...interviews with a bunch of favorites including Sun Araw, Wet Hair (a track from which the title of the mag is pulled), Thurston Moore (of course) and a bunch more. Cool little scene reports from Sam Goldberg on Cleveland, Shawn Reed on Iowa, Matthias Andersson on Sweden and brief little chats with Steve Hauschildt from Emeralds an Henry Rollins on noise as the new bebop. Perhaps Mr. Rollins... I guess that's why he drops $250 on every American Tapes release that shows up on ebay but for my money I'll just snag the new shit and call it a day. Either way, it's great work and it's made by the inside, so there's some genuine dialogue here that's pretty far removed from your average Pitchfork hero worship. Plus there's 5000 copies of this joint, so you can find em all over for cheap, which basically leaves you no excuse whatsoever. Psyched for more to come from this situation." -ear conditioned nightmare (http://earconditionednightmare.blogs...-electric.html)

"oh boy, this is exciting news... our man in the west, tynan krakoff (who runs DNT), is launching a new publication... we're talking throw back, to the roots, OLD SCHOOL...if you know what's good for you, you know what to do. ah, this takes me back to the days when foxy digitalis was just a mere print 'zine... oh i was so young, so young...GET ON IT!" -foxy digitalis (http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/b...hilation-1.php)

"20 pages of pure noise-psych-punk excellence here. Just like the old days when you had to send SASE's (self addressed stamped envelope for you youngsters) to get your favorite zines, this one is only mail-order, and that's completely bad-ass. Includes interviews with Wet Hair, Emeralds, John Olson of Wolf Eyes, Sun Araw, and superheros Henry Rollins and Thurston Moore. I've thumbed through this issue and there's some awesome concert pics, along with the customary Rollins "I'm going to kick your fucking ass" photo. The Cameron Stallones (Sun Araw) interview, which is the only one I've had a chance to read was enlightening as he explains the creative process and the influences behind his otherworldly sounds, which made me anxious to get to the rest of the zine. It's $3, and that's just 19 cents more than a medium vanilla malt at Braums. WTF are you waiting on?" -redneck fistula (http://redneckfistula.blogspot.com/2...tion-zine.html)
