THE RITA

[Fistfuck Masonanie]

The latest interview in Rocker #5 goes into detail about Sam's obsessive behavior and how he needs to fully break everything down to its core, then break that down another level, and keep pulling the thread...

Must check this interview if will be available online or for buying from eu distro. I like most of his works, these relased earlier but also released nowadays more directed to minimal crackle stuff with obsessions with body, womens, dancing or ballet. Love his devotion and contribution to noise scene especially hnw scene which is so hermetic imo. Nylons of Laura Antonelli is my holy grail. Didn't folow for the recent albums because lack of time but must do a homework asap. Like you wrote - simple a true artist.

Interview won't appear online, Rocker is a traditional print only publication, but I'm sure some European distributors are carrying it. Looks like neither Satatuhatta or the Northern Heritage/Freak Animal webstores have it currently. I'm not familiar with all of the euro distros though. A really good issue with this The Rita Interview, overview of the Yellow Tears guys, and a variety of reviews of the latest releases.

Also, zine is not available forever. I think it has usually one print run or sold until next issue comes out. Print run appears to be fairly large, but unlike with records, I think there isn't such second hand market for zines, so they tend to disappear.
Rocker review section as well as adverts can be really neat from perspective that it is so different from what there is in the other zines? Of course some cross-over, but in general its quite amazing to see how different type of things are covered and how there is a lot of things I haven't heard of or even seen.
I have not had any issues of Rocker for sale, always bought it from Satatuhatta.

I think the print run usually tends to be around 600 copies give or take, which is impressive when seeing how fast they sell out from the source and seemingly most distros. I suppose it speaks to the reach that No Rent has after their years of very diverse curation.
