This is the best thing I've read in months. Seriously. tha_Schnip can write, yo, and he's super funny. Oh course we already knew this, but he jumps from the computer screen to the zerox format seamlessly. I will cherrish mine for eternity. I urge all who have not to spend the $2.50 to get one. Reading Shnipper write about shitty records he bought for a dollar is way more entertaining that buying them yourself.

Good job dude!!!

    where do I find this?

    where do I find this?

  • Maybe Schnipper will include one in the package that contains a rackord he is going to send me when he finds the time in his hectic post-collegiate schedule (between B-More Club Nights, extra-smedium fitting sessions, and XLR8R photo shoots).

    Also: Visit SF again.

  • A french guy just came in, enquired about the Juliette Greco record I was playing, pestered me about looking through my personal "brought from home" records, implied that he might spend a lot of money for the right records, listened to the whole gospel section and didn't buy anything.

    Schnipper's magazine is the polar opposite of that guy.

    I could not have said it better.

    I was going to post on this, having read it a-to-z on the train this morning. Loose and funny, with great connections to REAL WORLD MOVES made in relation to the records he's discussing, it's just the kind of visceral reaction that's so critical to why we (at least the ME part of WE) dig collecting.

    Plus, I kept laughing out loud.

    "that's a lot of electric piano."


  • Huge cosign! I've been doing zines for over 20 years in one form or another, and I wish I was killin' it like Schnipper when I was his age. Solid stuff, well written, funny and often insightful.
    You go Schnipp...

  • Can't wait to see this schitt

    Yes, I could not stop reading this little zine when it arrived. The stories are priceless. Between Schnipper and Hcrink's Mix, folls have been killing it with the creative output on here lately.

    HUH?? I been sleeping...

  • Someone told me these things are already going for major $$$ on ebay. Is this true!!???

    the story about someone stealing the mail off his porch and then him buying his own record from the used shop down the street definitely made me LOL.

  • I'm sure Schnipper's zine is "all that" but I have to digress for moment:

    the Juliette Greco record I was playing

    It's hard to believe that the Soulstrut massive let this little comment slip through unnoticed.

    So J*nny - did you ever weigh in on the infamous "Getting into Vermont English Lit Hippie Chicks' Gingham Dresses" thread before it evolved into a Three-Six Mafia jockriding session? Because admitting (if not outright proclaiming) that you're listening to Juliette Greco records in a public space gives me pause to think that you could have had something significant to offer in the area of 10,000 Maniacs/Smiths/Sarah McClaughlin-related panty-removing tips. Not to mention the opportunity to out-floss Faux in the arena of conspicuous highbrow-culture flaunting. Surely, out-in-the-open Greco-listening weighs in somewhere equal-to-or-greater-than trolling the local yacht port hoping to catch a glimpse of Jay-Z sunbathing, yes? Just wondering.

    Yup. Just wait til the magic mole mix drops.

    I had never heard of, let alone heard Juliette Greco before I grabbed the record a couple weeks ago. This is like what would happen if Jay Z invited RA The Rugged Man out sailing for a day

    As for V.E.L.H.C.G.D. advice, I'd just say, you know, stop fucking around and just poke it out, yo


  • Thank you everyone! I ran out of my first (very small) run of these and just made more today. Expect to see these in some shops and distro places soon, with some luck. If anyone knows of a good record shop or small book store type place that might be good to carry these, PM me with a contact address and I will get at them.
