Blue Blood is going to be publishing a book Dodging Knives and Throwing Bullets: The Dark Art and Inspiration of Vaughn Belak. Vaughn is a super interesting guy and, at 2pm Eastern/11am Pacific tomorrow, he is going to be doing one of those Reddit IAmA ask me anything conversations. If you haven’t seen one of […]
I am pleased as punch that today BLT 25: Black Leather Times Punk Humor and Social Critique from the Zine Revolution is ranking on two Amazon top 100 bestsellers lists! The book is #54 in Punk, right between Blondie and American Hardcore. And it is #12 in Magazine Collectibles, between Vanity Fair and the New […]
The BLT silver anniversary zine book is now available via Amazon! For Prime members, that means you can receive free two day shipping for this omnibus edition of every issue ever published of my punk humor zine Black Leather Times.
Guess whose living room is filled with cartons of books! I have a whole lot of copies of BLT 25: Black Leather Times Punk Humor and Social Critique from the Zine Revolution in my living room right now. All the backers of the BLT Kickstarter have BLT in their living rooms (or more debauched places) […]
Students at University of Arizona are reading about BLT for class. This is definitely one of the more amusing things I found while doing research on Black Leather Times for the BLT Kickstarter (less than 48 hours left, eep!) For one of his courses, Professor Malcolm Alan Compitello at University of Arizona assigns Chapter 8 […]
As I continue to delve into internet records of BLT, I keep coming across all sorts of neat things. The site Zine Wiki uses a Wikipedia sort of interface to cover all sorts of zinester history. Topics range from zinester stalwarts like Aaron Cometbus to the less expected Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day (there […]
As I’ve been working on the BLT Kickstarter, I’ve been doing some deep searching in Google and Bing/Yahoo. For those just tuning in, BLT was the zine I started before Blue Blood and it is very funny, if you have ever lived in a punk rock group house, gone to goth-industrial clubs, gotten drunk at […]
As I’ve been working on pulling everything for the BLT Punk Humor Book 25 Year Black Leather Times Zine Omnibus, I’ve been finding all sorts of odd surprisingly non-ephemeral ephemera from the past. Below you will see an advert which ran in SPIN magazine approximately a zillion years ago. The ad is for both BLT […]
The first time I went to a science fiction convention was with the Wesleyan Science Fiction Club when I was around 17. It was Boskone in Boston. My friend Sue and I ran around the convention in crazy outfits we hoped were sexy, meeting all kinds of people, discussing books we had previously read in […]
Forrest Black and I have had to hit Blue Blood’s storage facility as part of working on the BLT Punk Humor Book 25 Year Black Leather Times Zine Omnibus project. We were able to find quite a few vintage issues of BLT where we had enough to be able to give some to our friends […]
