At Both Ends, Devotion, Verse & Dungbeetle

Justin passed me a copy of At Both Ends Fanzine (http://atbothendsmagazine.blogspot.com/) -- well the last issue of it anyway-- yesterday... AMAZING! It came with a pressing of a Bane 7" and some others, as well as an interview with Mark Palm, who was in Go It Alone, about his new project, Devotion, and an older interview with Sean Murphy of Verse. I didn't know that something else had popped out after Go It Alone died out, but was SOOOO stoked about learning of Devotion, cause Go It Alone are one band that I really would have loved to see play. Anyway check out some tracks from Devotion's Bastard Son of Affluence here: http://thesearemoderntimes.blogspot.com/ to me Devotion really has a Go It Alone vibe, but perhaps, more "southern", if that makes sense? Awesome awesome band. Hopefully Devotion will get out and play some shows. Here is a video interview of Mark Palm to check out:

Also, the interview of Sean from Verse was phenomenal! The person who did it really got at some I don't know, good questions, like... meaningful questions. Things I feel like maybe dungbeetle has been missing in the last few interviews we've done. I think I'd like to look at getting some back issues of At Both Ends, don't think I'll be able to do it soon since I'm moving out of my house in a week or so.

Anyway, also checking out this zine is compelling me to really work on Dungbeetle this summer, especially since the radio show is looking like it worked out this semester and will start up in September again. Also, since I've had little luck with finding a job, and really only have 2 3-hour days of class to fill my time... I thin it is something that I will be able to give a shot at working on. I'd like to get the blog functional, and really just clean up the video clippings in the interviews, so the videos we put out are "finished", almost. I don't know, but I know I haven't been too happy with the way the videos have turned out, my video editing skills are pretty crap. Hha so maybe that is something to work on? I'm not sure, just smoothen out the edges.

Anyhooo, gna peace. 2 Exams tomorrow, but almost done!! =]
