Welcome to My Teeth Need Attention. I'm Joe Tunis. This podcast is essentially an extension of my radio show Numbers on WAYOLP Rochester NY 104.3fm and wayofm.org. This platform gives me a little more flexibility on things I'd like to cover, as well as encouraging people to check out music covered, directly supporting artists and labels, and also talk about Carbon Records, the label I've been running since 1994.
In this podcast, I feature new and old music, underground and weirdo, as well as theme-based episodes, label features, and interviews.
Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcast or Mixcloud, rate and review it, share it, etc. You can also follow us at @myteethneedattention on Instagram.
But aside from being a podcast, MTNA is also a print zine! Below is the list of all issues.
Issue #4
This issue features interviews with Myriam Gendron, Michael Morley (Gate, The Dead C), Christina Carter (Charalambides, Obscuress), and Miranda Soileau-Pratt (The Spatulas), photos by Liam Grant, as well as record and show reviews.
8.5 inches x 5.5 inches, 56 pages, full color photocopy, saddle stitched with a variety of cover paper colors. Luck of the draw! :)
Issue #3
This issue of My Teeth Need Attention includes interviews with Jackson Wingate (Flipped Out, Burnt Hills), Joe Piccirillo (Minimum Table Stacks), photos, fiction, reviews, and more.
The zine is: 7 inches x 7 inches, 60 pages, full color photocopy, saddle stitched.
In the tradition of early issues of seminal underground zines like Bananafish, Muckraker, and Chemical Exposure, My Teeth Need Attention #3 includes a 7” EP with six exclusive tracks. Carbon challenged luminaries from drone, American primitive, improvisational, and experimental undergrounds to respond to the spacial limitations of a 7” comp, and the rewards are brisk punches of sound, revelations of style, and surprise detours from an international host of artists. Both sides end in locked grooves. 7” cover is a sketch variation of zine cover, printed in 3 color Riso, with multiple variants. Vinyl labels are hand-stamped.
