Another issue of my zine if you like physical media

I spoke to Good Luck about their improbable comeback album, Big Dreams, Mister. We also talk about the band's history, what punk felt like in the late aughts, whatever the emo revival was, and so much more.
Make some zines!
Blogged for the first time in a year. just quick thoughts on stuff I enjoyed this week. betweenberwynandbrynmawr.blogspot.com/2025/08/medi...
Recommend folks show up early to see Ache new straight edge band
Maybe my fave read of the year. Anthology of a Chicago alt-weekly writer from the 70s-90s.
Hearing it's a footwork summer djmanny1.bandcamp.com/album/mtxlt7...
Probably the dumbest thing I've done was spend an hour and a half making a fake flyer for a show that no one will ever see lol
2007 screamo/emo from Bloomington (Illinois) just got put on streaming open.spotify.com/album/2JzEST...
They’re calling 32 the most anti-climactic birthday ever
Grand Scheme very good
I've got a new band and our first five songs are now online for your streaming pleasure.
Funniest part was some of my friends last night at the native not knowing what a zine was and calling it a print
Cathartic to make this one page zine
Fair fair I do enjoy grad school a lot more than undergrad tbh
Love this but also don’t do it lol
Love love that Rotting Out record and Heatwave
Still doesnt feel real that ill never get to bs about whatever book we’re reading or the greatness of Victim in Pain or Mental or whatever punk record we’re obsessed with
I didn't really know Jim Howes (@nickhexum311.bsky.social) other than a couple of words exchanged on Twitter, but I liked and wrote about the music they made with Oscar Bait and Resignation and I know they meant a lot to a lot of people on this website. Rest in peace.
Any spot lasting more than a year in 2025 is a miracle
The rate at which Chicago hc has been going through DIY venues is hilarious at this point
Alright issue two of VT is live getting them later today so planning to ship everything out in a few days violenttreatment.bigcartel.com/product/viol...
Another morning listening to c tier youth crew open.spotify.com/album/18kzK0...
