bOING bOING #13 (San Francisco)

Whew! One mention on the popular bOING bOING blog and the hits go through the roof! The blog ran a post on our humble little TMQ Zine Archive and all of That Devil Music's blog's saw attendance jump from 1,000 unique visitors daily to a high of 6,000 right after the blog, since settled down to around 2,000 readers daily. Thanks and welcome to all of you newcomers!

Since the gang at bOING bOING did us a solid with their blog posting, I dug a couple more issues of the zine out of the old vault to add to the archive. Issue #13, which seems to be from 1994 sometime (they were always bad about dates) includes interviews with Ben Is Dead zine publisher Darby Romeo, Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, John Balance and Peter Christopher of Coil and the visionary Kevin Kelly, former editor of both the influential Whole Earth Review and Wired. There are also articles on dark wave and human branding as well as the usual insightful and interesting reviews of books, zines, music and such.
