OFF THE RECORD
Jet Lag This is one of the finest fanzines I've ever seen: 40 clearly mimeographed pages on quality paper, full of enthusiastic reviews on a catholic array of music. Interviews with XTC and Camper Van Beethoven, reviews of Nick Cave, the Feelies, Robyn Hitchcock and the Saints, articles on Bad Brains, Concrete Blonde REM’s Don Dixon and Burning Spear, the more accessible end of the independents, and major label acts too. Issue 75 (March 'B7) includes “Outbreak in the Outback,” two pages of reviews of Flying Nun records: the Clean, Chills, Verlaines, Tall Dwarfs, Doublehappys. Twelve issues SUSIB (sea) or SUS 24 (air) from Jet Lag, The Mailman Building, 8419 Halls Ferry Rd, St Louis, Missouri 63147-1806, USA. CB Whole Weird World!
An excellent new zine from Nelson, 20 well-bound xeroxed pages covering NZ and UK indie music, Husker Du, the Clash, the Mighty Lemon Drops, Greenpeace, the Clean’s Compilation, plus live reviews of New Order, Murder Inc, Spaghettis, and Jane Venus. Lots of news from Nelson and abroad. (Bummer of the month: recording the wrong channel while RWP’s punk special was on.) Cost: one nuclear free dollar, plus postage, from 5 Surrey Rd, Richmond, Nelson. CB
The Captain’s Fanzine Still bringing the good/bad news from Gisborne is Grant McDougall, with the Captain's second issue. Covering locals Flaming Star, Wasp Factory, Michael Dwyer, plus the Verlaines and Billy Bragg live, and lots of (mainly F-Star) vinyl reviews. Eighteen messily typed witty xeroxed pages. Send a donation to 64a Russell St, Gisborne.
