I loved the early incarnations of the Maximum RocknRoll 'zine and radio program; both provided an entertaining foray into the wonderful worlds of punk music. I tuned out when Tim Yohannan decided to wear his Communist-based leaning on his sleeve. I was there for the MUSIC - not for anyone's political ideology.
Yeah, it damages the sleeve. Tim wasn't concerned too much with the sleeves, obviously. The way I understand it, MRR headquarters were always open to punks coming in and perusing their collection so theft was always a concern. I remember reading years ago that some rare records were stolen by someone that visited.
I sent you a letter. I'll continue to send you more ideas to improve your label and make it exclusive and p.c. and religious free hardcore and garage only. Punk and hippy is dead. Mentioning it is a nonprofit flop. Hippy is POST PUNK Alternative and over.
I posted the ideas. Focus on your label only, and design newsprints for hardcore and garage labels only to distribute. Dont reveal your distribution or booking info. to anyone but buying labels of exclusive newsprints or it wont sell.
Don't allow them to reveal the info. Everyone will be safer. PUNK and HIPPY is obviously dangerous p.c. and religiously activist straight edge shit that attacked NEW WAVE sellout groups in the past.
These hipsters destroyed MRR. They're only in it for fashion and trend points. Where were these "shitworkers" when hardcore, powerviolence and punk wasn't a fad among hipsters? They were nowhere to be found. They will move onto the next fad, just like they always do. But this time they caused destruction, they destroyed one of the most important punk publications.
what are you talking about!? if it was that ‘hip’ to be doing shitwork the magazine wouldn’t have shut down. the coordinators were overworked because there was a lack of support and resources, not more. surely it’s more hip to be involved in mrr in peak gilman times or the mid 90s. not 2016…. source: i was there between 2015-2021. no one destroyed the magazine.
@@samsicles_jr The coordinators were overworked? They certainly weren't doing more work than the founder and crew from decades ago. The contrast from the early years or the 90's compared to when the hipster posers ran it is astounding. They destroyed it by letting it die because the work was too hard for them and because they were clueless.
@@ChargerBullet presumably considerably more money in the 90s due to way higher readership / ad revenue. presumably a lot more shitworkers supporting coordinators. it’s not just the people in this video that work at mrr, there’s a host of people volunteering time that have been around since the 70, 80s, and 90s. the main coordinator in that video (effectively editor) worked hard and cared. source: i’ve worked for mrr for 10 years what killed the magazine is lack of funds, coordinators, house, changing times and tastes. there’s loads of magazines that were big in the 90s that aren’t here anymore. what would you like to have seen different in the latter years?
@@samsicles_jr That was my point. It was more work for them in the 90's because of the massive load of content coming in. I remember when they wrote that their printer said that they were at capacity and couldn't add more pages to the zine. And it was definitely harder to start the zine in the 80's and keep it afloat throughout that decade. Of course that was when they didn't have computers and the internet to make things easier. Just glancing through any issue of the 80's and comparing it to the later issues is astonishing how low it was allowed to get. Even worse, is letting it die because the work was too hard. And that was when they had two coordinators. But comparing it to other magazines of the past that have also ceased publication isn't really an excuse. For one, there is a difference between magazines and fanzines. The former are in business for profit while the latter never were. And other Punk zines that have went under were just ran by one person or a small number of people. Flipside was ended because of the owner's decision. MRR was always supposed to be ran by volunteers and to continue even after Tim's death. Face it, the younger blood were supposed to keep the torch alive but they failed miserably. There is no transparency or accountability from them. They never detailed what happened to the archival database they were supposed to do. I stumbled upon something from someone somewhere online that said that the work was outsourced to a company that then went under but kept the work and items. I don't know if that is true but with the silence and dismissal of the new people at MRR, who knows? They even kept quiet on the whereabouts of the new location of MRR house. They promised that shutting down the printed zine would mean that they would have more time and resources for much better things in the future, and that was a lie. What have they done? The thing is they didn't care to keep it in print and alive. I remember a few issues before they announced the shut-down reading a column from one of the older columnists (I forget which one) where he details some girl openly asking him why is it a benefit to have a printed zine in this day and age. I'd have to go back and hunt it down to give you the issue number.
@@ChargerBullet i don’t have a position i’m defending. i’m saying from experience that the coordinator in this video did work hard and did care. that is all. remember all shitworkers are volunteers. maximum still exists, if it wasn’t / isn’t meeting your standards, or you want to revive the print issues email mrr and offer your time to contribute.

Wow, Indigesti, I played their song Crea Vileno (sp?) when I guest DJ'd probably in 1983

Any updates? Sent our tape in in 2014 never got a chance to read the review
Hipsters are for peace in the scene and bringing back fashion. We need them.
$$$ Happy Commercialized HolidayTime $$$
That green Tape is annoying! doesn't it damage the record covers? whats the point of it ?
To easily identify if it was stolen.
i get that but doesn't it damage the sleeve?
Yeah, it damages the sleeve. Tim wasn't concerned too much with the sleeves, obviously.

Hi hello saluti
Good luck, hopefully I can improve my label and yours. The first step is exclusivity and no more politically correct religious and p.c. information.
Sorry, but its a cuckoo Nutzi hypocrite MAJOR LABEL hypocrite setup.
I sent you a letter. I'll continue to send you more ideas to improve your label and make it exclusive and p.c. and religious free hardcore and garage only. Punk and hippy is dead. Mentioning it is a nonprofit flop. Hippy is POST PUNK Alternative and over.

Don't allow them to reveal the info. Everyone will be safer. PUNK and HIPPY is obviously dangerous p.c. and religiously activist straight edge shit that attacked NEW WAVE sellout groups in the past.
Cut off all media info. It's blowing all sales of NEW WAVE, and that's the direction HARDCORE and GARAGE has went.
They destroyed their own archives with the green tape
