X-8's 30-Years of fLiPSiDE Tribute

FlipsideLogo.jpg

My pal X-8 put together this nifty little tribute page to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of fLiPSiDE magazine. It includes a couple of sites that I've already linked to like Michele's essential fLiPSiDE Memorial page, and my own personal history of fLiPSiDE and scan of Issue Number 1, along with a bunch of interviews with LA punks, the Germs, Weirdos, and the Screamers. There's also a brilliant live clip of the Weirdos kicking ass on Solitary Confinement from a 1986 fLiPSiDE video. Be sure to check out some of the other great Weirdos clips uploaded to YouTube while you're there. For my money, they were hands-down the best band to come out of LA punk.
