Here are two vinyl fanzines Volume 1 and 2 through Flipside / Gasatanka.

MANY HANDS IN THE FLIPSIDE FANZINE COOKIE JAR



Which band was on both Volume 1 and 2 ?

My Dell computer got Covid19 and is now at Docs. A rather new one for having issues with Dell and Windows. But shit happens. It is good too because I got out an older computer and cleaned it and upgraded the software and it is running very nicely. It cannot use any of my Adobe programs but that is OK. At least it can go online and work here on my WordPress site.

In the process I came across some stuff I was doing that needs to be followed through with. So, I will do it now.

Here are the two vinyl fanzines vol. 1 and 2 through “Flipside / Gasatanka.” Mighty amazing at the time for a growing punk scene. I am grateful to the bands. The contributions to our fan base were well received and the promotion did not hurt either.

Working with Al and Bill was fun and I never quite knew where the boat was sailing but we ran a tight ship and got to shore. Then got these records on the deck for distribution.

A time when bands, fanzines, records labels and others worked together without big heads but instead with a real love of the music we supported in so many ways.

I did the layouts for the inserts and helped where I could with the more in-depth recording and promotional aspects of getting these out. And to the other artists and executives … thank you too, you know who you are. Lots of hands in the Flipside cookie jar.


Al and Bill were a dynamic duo to work with and, as the third fanatic, we three did good for the love of a punk scene. You are welcome even Black Market Baby is welcomed, though I don’t know why?

Mr. Fuck roars out his name.

Puff the Magic Dragon & Mr. Fuck’s Theme song.


I am finding Mr. Fuck has come out of his Bomb shelter to play… it has been awhile. He was pissed due to the fact that Mr. Shit’s theme song came out and no one cares about him anymore. So Mr. Shit and I got together and wrote a theme song for him.

Funny how creative endeavors come out to play again as one gets older. Mr. Shit and Mr. Fuck and I are feeling creative, silly and laugh a lot too.

I think about the song Puff the Magic Dragon and realize as I get older I am happy to find the call again of Puff’s gigantic roar and the song does not make me sad anymore.

“Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail.

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail.

Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.”

Yes we all three agreed on this… so here is Mr. Fuck’s theme song that is well overdo.





I do, Miss Opossum


“Despite its appearance, the opossum is not related to the rat. In fact, the opossum is a marsupial, or “pouched” mammal, and is therefore related to other marsupials such as the kangaroo and the koala. Like kangaroos and koalas, infant opossums stay inside the mother’s pouch to nurse and develop. The opossum holds the distinction of being North Americas’ only marsupial.”




I hope I am found in my backyard garden under a lovely bush under the train of fence that is continuous for our clever wild animals. I have heard mama racoon back there purring with her young babes,

I have watched as Miss Opossum emerged during the day with a coat of babes holding onto her.


I have watched Raven bite squirrel’s tail back on the fence and above birds adorn our backyard as hummingbirds and singing birds of every kind. Sometime Owl visits us.

Hawk not so much anymore since our neighbors have cut down their old trees.


I hope I am found with ants in chaos over my body as I lie in the forfeitures of the earth as nature devours me in all ways possible.
I wrapped the wild animal in an old blanket we had outdoors that I had just washed.

I placed Miss Opossum in a box with two yellow flowers and some blue flowered fragrant rosemary that the bees let me share and closed the recycled cardboard box.
I called the city and scheduled a time for pick up.


I hope I die in my backyard as Miss Opossum has. One of my favorite places in the world.
Under wild Dionysian Hollyhocks and bees humming around me as ants devour me.


Miss Opossum now is with her ancestors as her body is left behind.


I will miss you… I hope I will be missed too someday and appreciated as much as I do, Miss Opossum.


The Song of Sophia

Spring Dionysian Hollyhock from my garden



I lost the source of this song but as I was researching ancient tunes, I came across this one that I found interesting. I asked my niece who plays the violin if she might bring it to life. She lives in Seattle, Washington, and I live in California. I was going to university, and I wanted to present this in a presentation for a course I was taking. It is lovely and there is no claim of it.
I wish I had a copy of the music I found in an archive somewhere.
Yet I am reading a new book entitled Sophia Wisdom: Heart Wisdom by Annne Elizabeth Taylor and the book is inspiring my Sophia research from years ago and all my lost studies are coming together again and I am overcome. So, I made this little sequence.
