Side On is a (so far) annual . 7 < magazine from Dunedin edited by Craig Robertson whose name should be familiar to readers of these pages.. This issue features an 8,004 word article on George Henderson of Puddle fame and it's a stunning .- interview, the subject more than worthy of the space devoted to him. Also, solid interviews with David Kilgour and Shayne Carter, two pages devoted to the new Snapper album and pithy record reviews from the more obscure end of the musical spectrum. Send $3 to 21 9 Dalziel Road, Dunedin. . Insample... the first issue of a 'zine based in Rotorua although its content demonstrates the editor's penchant for the wilder shores of the New Zealand
and American fringe. Thus Simon Baker slates contemporary Flying Nun for "style over content" before moving on to review such people as the Dead C, Axel Grinders, Terminals, Alistair Galbraith and various singles from the incalculably cool Forced Exposure camp. In fact, Mr Baker says his brief is to encourage people to write to such tiny independent American labels and magazines until he sets up his own little record mail order business with such labels as Amphetamine, Reptile and Noiseville. If you like Pavement,
Vermonster and Sebadoh this man is talking your language. Write to Simon Baker at 20 Corlett Street, Rotorua.
