Loosely inspired by Re/Search Publications' influential Incredibly Strange Music, this zine is my effort to give some shine to a handful of "oddball" records I've found in the wild: songs that, in most cases, I think would cause confusion in a DJ set, but which I think warrant special appreciation in their own individual contexts. A celebration of people's potential. There's a link printed inside to listen to the songs I'm writing about.
When I go record hunting, I'm always looking for records that are conceived, recorded and released by the artist and/or their immediate community. A lot of other record collectors are looking for the same thing. Not all of them have the stomach to take chances on independent Christian records; there are a lot of them, and the overwhelming majority are very bad. This mixtape is one hour of the best songs I found after listening to many hours of dollar bin Christian records on small labels.
Pandemic PDF e-zine. Reviews of zines/small press books/comics I read; a bit about early Macintosh graphics, adventure games, and a particular erotic artist (no nudity, but recommended for audiences comfortable seeing underwear); witch doctor spammers take over an unattended guestbook.

About 10 years ago, Google led me to a section of Texas A&M AgriLife Copy Services' website devoted to clip art. It contained about 2000 images, mostly related to agriculture and home economics, drawn by a number of different artists, amateur and professional, over a period of several decades. When I went looking for it again years later, it had disappeared. Fortunately, I found the old URL bookmarked in my browser, and the Internet Archive had saved almost everything. This zine collects some of my favorite images from the collection, but if you'd rather flip through all 2288 images, I've uploaded PNG versions to the Internet Archive here.
This was my first attempt at a Christian-records-but-good mixtape (with a couple of non-Christian exceptions). It's only 30 minutes and there are some OK songs on it, but I'm not super proud of it anymore. I had a bunch of CD jewelcase-sized foldout posters printed, and now even I don't think they're worth money. I'll send you one if you want one, though.
This is a commentary-free collection of classroom handouts and other school ephemera from before the year 2000. Most of it is stuff that was given to me in school by teachers that had been using the same handouts for years. No commentary, just a couple dozen examples of old professionally prepared worksheets, endlessly photocopied typewritten documents, and primitive word processing.
A zine I put so much into that I forgot to put my name on the front. In 1980, FEMA and some other government agencies put out Media Ideas Workbook, which contained a few sample TV commercials that they thought might help local fire departments remind people to test their smoke detectors, and so on. In 2018 I rearranged the panels to make a crude joke. I promise to be sorry as long as you don't send me $1.
for having a look. If you're interested in what you've seen so far, you can watch me post about records all the time on Instagram until I suddenly announce another zine every year or so.
