Some time ago, Dutch writer Martin Bril wrote about the 80s, saying 'your friend would buy an album, you would tape it for yourself and other friends, make a cover, color it and all of this on the dole'. I had to think of that writing when looking at the first (and only?) issue of Dirt Lib, a magazine and cassette. I can't scan the magazine without damaging it, so I didn't. Their idea was 'to capture sound and music on paper and cassette'. It was made by one Ulf Mappe, who is also on the tape, also with E23, Truuk + Mutella, Guy de B, Beats Per Minutem C.A.U.W. and H.v.Z. + Nettie. The sound and poetry recall the 80s very well. Its not the quality of what you, its do it yourself, I guess.

Cliché was both a cool fanzine and tape label from Castricum, ran by two guys and a girl who would become Julia P. They also put out a compilation with (a.o.) Svatsox and the Biz Kidz, plus a cassette by kiwi band The Clean, who later signed to Flying Nun. Hans van Z. where are you? J.V.
