Friend of the ‘cast and Collision twitter buddy Holly Wendt just posted a really interesting account of, for want of a better word, enthusiasms on her blog. In it she references the two “no you’re not” segments from our last issuepisode and rather gently mentions our “curmudgeonliness”. And I’ll cop to that–it’s something I’ve been thinking about more than a little bit with respect to that particular issuepisode.

Not entirely sure why, but it’s certainly safe to say that the mood of #6 (!) was…more than faintly sour. It’s always been my aim to, in that project as in my life, to celebrate the things worth celebrating, bring attention to the things worth attending to. Sure, it’s always a good idea to call bullshit on bullshit–and I continue to be repulsed by my generation’s insipid devotion to commercialism & self-imposed infantilization–but life is short, and I think I’d like it better if I spent more time in it for joy than kicking against the pricks.

So next time out, I think I’ll shoot explicitly for a little more “this be rad” vibe, maybe a little less frustrated hectoring.

–Collision, dialing back the grumpy

Hi! Welcome to No Headline AudioZine’s RAMONES ISSUEPISODE–lots of little pieces, mostly written and recorded at Abe the Professor’s house (over on 53rd & 3rd) after sniffing some glue and watching a kid get hit with a baseball bat.

This is NHAZ Mark 2: mostly just ol’ Professor & Collision, with music by Drew Cook & Abe the Professor (and a quick & dirty contribution by the Melvins, who we love). Extra-special thanks to Chopper & Mike Campbell for providing some rad-ass texts for us to read. Enjoy the listen, e’rybody!

Hello. I know everyone really after four episodes is just biting their nails awaiting the next arrival of NHAZ’s next issuepisode to plop.. be patient little ones. it is on the way. It will feature many fantastic things, things that will enjoy.. things like this. Until next time, the professor says, do your damn homework.

My favorite valentine so far.. no one can top this.. no one.

the professor here. Long time. I do apologize. now for the photo, it is not mine, I do not know to whom it belongs. I apologize again. But now some commentary on that photo. I do not condone the use of that word except when apt, for example, “that person is a real cunt”, meaning a very unpleasant person. in this context. .. I dislike this holiday. but I do like apologies. and I do love love y’all.

Collision here: tomorrow morning, you can drink deep of our bounty.

The wait is over, and your life once again has meaning. No Headline AudioZine has returned.

So now you can look at this and touch yourself while you listen to our dulcet, dulcet tones.
