Afro Droid Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Discuss!I dug out my old copies of Blind Youth t'other day. Fascinating reading, things seem way different now; but in a weird way, nothing's *really* changed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 dunno there's plenty of webzines and messageboards and its a much quicker way of projecting information. the net is a good thing for music in general i think. but whilst naturally fanzines like fudge in hard copy are now fewer and farer between like vinyl records they'll be around for a while yet.

Chris Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 http://web.archive.org/web/19971015105810/http://www.scooter.demon.co.uk/adie/yoof.htm(you might have to click and drag across the page to read most of the text)I think the internet has changed things, it's certainly killed the zine in the classic sense. Online zines seem to cater less to the local stuff and instead try and review more of the name stuff instead (maybe they've just wised up to the availability of free cd's if you review them). And they don't seem to be as much fun as the old zines were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 i know what you mean, but i'm still kind of old fashioned being a washed up middle aged kind of a man and still prefer to sit in me armchair with a coffee, ciggie, feet up reading a fanzine in print n ink format.

That's the old old site. How can I access the most recent one (with the fish in the background and a pic of Dogtanian on it for no apparent reason)? It got taken down cos I never dialled up with the ISP again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest allsystemsfail Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Internet message boards, and online zines, while cool, can never replace paper zines. I love zines. Been buying them since the 1980s. Take a zine like MAXIMUMROCKNROLL for example - there ain't no substitute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
