This one is a collaboration from Aaron Pfendler (Anarchist Monthly) and Mike Mamrosh (Nonconformist). It's unstapled and is 8 1/2" x 11" full pages, no half-fold. Reach Out interview, a California scene review by a guy named Dale from Disobey zine in Newbury Park, CA, an interview with Holocaust by A.P., a hefty vinyl fix music review section, Sons of Ishmael interview, and a photo of Chemical People at The Outhouse in Lawrence, KS by me. 

Notes: 45-cent stamp of Harvey Cushing, MD on this one. 

Aggro Rag #9

Aggro Rag #9.

Zine: Aggro Rag
Issue: 9
Created by: Mike Daily
Format: 8 1/2" x 11"
Where: York, PA
When: 1989

There are only a few zines in the skateboard and bmx freestyle worlds that are legendary. Aggro Rag is one of them. Mike Daily and the Plywood Hoods defied all of the small town odds with an expertly-documented scene and riders that were so ahead of their time it was unbelievable. Daily's editorial sensibility and style was as dialed in as Kevin Jones' rolling flatland trickery. This issue is toward the end of Aggro Rag's run, and it is one of the most prized zines in my shoebox. It's thicker than any other zine I have, and there's so much freestyle goodness it's incredible.

Notes: I met Daily in 2007 and worked on the art and graphics for his book and double CD audio compilation Alarm. Daily released a compendium of Aggro Rag from 1984-1989 that is still available. Pick up a copy if you can.

This one has a crazy cover drawn by Mamrosh, an article about a General show in Liverpool, NY, a recipe for apple crisp that somehow does not include apples, and the phrase "lofting a massive gut lever."

Notes: Aaron Pfendler of Anarchist Monthly also contributed to Nonconformist.
