Publishing & Writing.


For all of my adult life, I've been writing and publishing material. I guess it's an obsession of sorts. Below you'll find a selection of the writing (in English if nothing else is stated) and a publishing chronology, more or less accurate. If you have corrections to this publishing list, please let me know!

PUBLISHING...

 

SPLASCH! (ca. 1980-1981)

A fanzine dedicated to great comic book artists. Two issues saw the light of day, one about Morris (the creator of Lucky Luke) and one about André Franquin (the creator of Spirou, Gaston and Marsipulami). There may have been other issues. I don't have copies in my archive and would very much like to hear from people who do.


LOLLIPOP (1986-1987)

A music fanzine that came out in seven issues all in all. This was a truly great project. Me and co-editor Nicklas Kapellin made many new friends during these years and had a jolly good time.

Covered and interviewed were bands and people like: Iggy Pop, The Stooges, Sonic Youth, Suicide, Psychic TV, The Cramps, The Scientists, The Saints, Husker Du, The Stomachmouths, Union Carbide Productions, Richard Kern, Alice Cooper, The Godfathers, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Brian Jones, The Go-Betweens, Freddie Wadling, Alex Chilton, Lydia Lunch, The Church, The Velvet Underground, Sort Sol, The Creeps, The Shamen and many, many others.

Some of the photographs from this era can be seen at the Graphical Work-page.

Issue no. 6 contained a flexidisc with Union Carbide Productions.
Several cassettes were released under the labelname "Lollipop", among them recordings of live concerts by Leather Nun, Sort Sol and Blue For Two.


ACTS OF INTERSTELLAR TORTURE (1987-1988)

A one-off project. Quite Lollipopish, but more focussed on subculture in general. Contained material by/on: The Shamen, Nick Zedd, Roky Erickson, The Stooges, Pere Ubu and lots more.

Issue no. 1 contained a flexidisc with Sonic Walthers.


THE FENRIS WOLF (1988-?)

The first issue was a magazine, published through TOPYSCAN, and the two following ones were books. Covered were many topics and persons. The goal or purpose of The Wolf has been to present interesting material in, on and from the occultural sphere of life. As of 1996, The Fenris Wolf is the official journal of The Institute of Comparative Magico-anthropology.

Issue number four is scheduled to appear in 2001. It will be the biggest issue to date.

The Fenris Wolf also has its own webpage. If that sounds howling to you, please go here for a more detailed account!
