Loserdom #22 – October 2011
by dubdoug
Yes 2011. Hard to believe that in this digital age, Fanzines, in the traditional paper format, still exist. Loserdom is one such Dublin Fanzine. Hand bound and on the go since 1996 it is created by two brothers Eugene (comics & artwork) and Anto Dillon (the rest). The most recent issue, #22, has 60 advert free pages and features a comic story called the “Punk Connection” which has lots of cool drawings of cyclists in Dublin City. I’ve scanned in […]

Sean Hughes & Cathal Coughlan (Fatima Mansions), NME, May 1992.
by dubdoug
From 20 years ago, this Irish heavy issue of the NME, had plenty on an old fave of mine, Sean Hughes and on the man with the flowers in his mouth, Cathal Coughlan (Fatima Mansions.) It is not a joint interview/article. There is just a brief mention of Hughe’s participation in Coughlan’s side project Bubonique, but they are separate interviews. Both scanned in full below.

Focus On Dave O’Leary, Arsenal & Ireland – Shoot, 1979
by dubdoug
I read a lot of Shoot magazine in the 1970s and the Focus On feature was always the first page I’d check out. Even though the responses were always very similar and predictable (it was almost as if there was a template with a standard set of completed answers * see below) I was always keen to find out what TV, movies and music the players were into. Dave O’Leary was only 20 when his Focus On was published in […]
