Flipside’s back!
Read it here!
Hudley from the original Flipside has resurrected the seminal punk rock zine that published from 1977 until 2001 or so.  She has certainly captured the spirit of the old zine and engaged many of the old writers. (I suspect thought that this is likely a bunch of friends having a few beers and deciding to get something going again. You know, like a zine.)
It does seem a bit weird to see a Flipside without Al Flipside but it’s also nice to see that it’s still a zine …

It seems like a lifetime ago now but I once saw Public Image Ltd. play a show at the old Exhibition Stadium in Toronto.  It was in the summer of 1989 and they were the middle band between The Sugarcubes and New Order, who were headlining.

It’s Sunday night and I don’t know how much energy I have to get through this. I like to think of it as an exercise in discipline, something I’ve been lacking in many areas of my life lately.
