BADABOOM GRAMOPHONE:
ìA book-size zine on a mission.î -Rolling Stone
ìOne of the most ambitious music zines ever.î -Philadelphia City Paper
ìReading BG is like having an after-dinner conversation with your smartest and most savvy friends who have aged more-or-less gracefully and without losing their sense of humor.î -Vice
Badaboom Gramophone was named by taking the logical completion of the phrase ìba da bingî and joining the idea put forth by Jacques Derrida in Ulysses Gramophone. In that essay, Derrida suggests that having little knowledge on a subject could result in just as innovative a perspective as the thoughts put forth by an expert. In the same approach, the idea of Badaboom Gramophone is to offer a forum for non-experts to pontificate on subjects which nonetheless interest them. While this credo has not been fully stuck to over the years, the general goal of unpretentious but intelligent essays has been kept in focus. While a lot of money was put into these issues looking spiffy (perfect binding, high quality paper, and all the other things that have become de riguer if youíre putting out a zine), the design has always been less important than the words being presented. BG #1 came out at a time when such publications as Raygun and Huh were available on the magazine stand and often doing their parts towards subjugating the written word to nothing more than textured design. Now, weíre back to the good old days of chicks in bikinis.
