Your zine was great! I used to have most of the issues but sadly they were later lost in a house fire. I was really happy when you compiled them into a book!

I'm happy to see one of my musical heroes @mick_collins is on Mastodon. I wrote about his early band #TheGories for the first issue of #ShotgunSeamstress (2006) and then got to interview him for issue 3 while I was on tour with New Bloods a few years later.
My zine kind of died after I stopped touring because that was mainly how I met other #BlackPunks. We met up at a diner or Chinese Restaurant in #Detroit sitting in a booth with a tape recorder between us. Mick had a lady friend with him (spouse, gf?) and I had my bandmate/gf with me who chimed in on the interview a few times and probably made it funnier because she's a natural comedian. I probably still have the tape of the interview around somewhere.
Hey Mick, you still playing music? Post about music more :) #punk #GarageRock #zine #zines #interview #DIY #photocopy

Stories about punk music tend to picture thin-framed white guys and girls with shaved heads, part of an angry, energetic scene born out of the working class angst of young white England in the 1970s. But the actual history of punk – as a type of music and movement – is more complicated than that. Black punks have been an integral and pioneering part of punk history – and they're keeping the movement alive and growing today. Host Sana Saeed explores that history and talks to proto-punk band Death, musician and journalist Greg Tate, the band The 1865 and festival organizer Shawna Shawnté.
