Now available: Desperate Times: The Summer of 1981, a collection of all six issues of the Seattle zine cofounded by Maire M. Masco.

Desperate Times is best known for having run a letter from a young Mark Arm describing his then-imaginary band Mr. Epp and the Calculations as “Pure grunge! Pure noise!
