Uh Yeah

Will you be airlifting it out to those of us trapped by forces beyond our control in the US urban industrial heartland? Will you require payment in hard currency, or do banks still accept these flimsy American dollar thingies?

Nice blog, by the way. I can't decide whether I like you and appreciate you because you are so talented, or loathe you and resent you because you are so talented. It can be such a fine line.

Yeah, you can expect the first issue to arrive tomorrow. I'm a pretty fast operator.

also, re: the loathing me thing. It might help to know that I am unemployed and have never made any money or had any success doing anything in the last fifteen years.

And don't you have a PhD or something? So none of this 'never had any success at anything' business, my friend - that is certainly an impressive accomplishment.

It's totally a bullet-proof vest. It gets pretty dangerous where I live, baby.

And yeah I got a PhD and 2 kids, so actually I suppose have done lots in the last fifteen years really.

It's just that, with the exception of a PhD scholarship, I have never made any money from doing things that I like. Except like, fifty bucks here and there.

And also I want to be semi-famous, and have Rolling Stone want to interview me, so that I can say "no way, man."

I know it's really puerile but I do actually want that.

But actually it's more the "money for doing things I like" thing.

Ah, that. That I understand. Never making any money from doing things that you like has a very familiar ring to it.

Please do not be mopey (even though I usually am, so I am not one to talk). Although it is hard for me to be mopey to banjo music, so bring it on. . .

i am going to start a zine called UH NO.
and just write the opposite of everything that is in Steve's zine.

It will be huge among the youth.

Maybe instead you could do reviews of all those bands we've formed over the years.
