Turnip Greens Fanzine Issue 8

The cultural peculiarities of the province are examined by Ladegerät (Ab ins Lollypop, Rauchen vs. Radfahren, Maier – Festlandcoolios berichten), a report from Doppelraumschiffdrittel (Fuck the Provinz), and an interview with the scene police officer with AZ OTTERSBERG. In addition, the scene cop was at a punk concert during the week (!) He reports on this event (FRACTURED live), astonished that such a thing is not forbidden. Ladegerät unexpectedly stumbled into a farm workers' uprising in HL-City while buying beer (Bauerndemo – Eine Dosenbiererfahrung), the scene police officer enjoys fan demos (HSV vs. St. Pauli – Ein Hirnschiss), and the real (!) El Hotzo gets agitated about e-drums (Ein Elektrodrum Diss-Diss-Diss). Golf is also pursued somehow, and some bands/artists (CRYING SILKE, UNWUCHT, HC BAXXTER, DANIEL MALHEUR) are questioned about current and not-so-current topics. The scene police officer even delves into unexpected literary realms with “Duell der letzten – Ein Gedicht!?” An expert commission selects the best German punk apocalypse songs (Untergangspunk – Eine Expertenrunde). And there's also scene gossip (RübenNews), news about cycling legends (Pulle – er nu wieder), and an "Einblick inne Liedgeschichte" (insight into song history). As always, good ideas from other zines were well stolen and elevated to a new, much higher level. Finally, there are dedicated editorial opinions on the latest sound carriers (Reviews – Lohudeleien und Verrisse). As always, very well done!
