THE BOOGALOO

'The official zine of breakdancing' is how the first issue of Electric Boogaloo billed itself when it was released in March of 1995 by "Chop up your baby for fertilizer press". It soon faded into obscurity, mainly due to the fact that the writers Popcorn and Butter are self described "lazy asses". We recently caught up with Popcorn and Butter for this exclusive Anal Log online interview.

Q: Tell us a little about yourselves.

Popcorn: Straight from the streets, bitch!

Butter: Yo, peep this shit, military shool man. Hard core G's, dude. One night we all get together for a party, right? I was breakin' and shit, you know, then they told us all to take our shirts off. I was like "Daaamn!" I knew everyone was drunk, but I didn't know they were THAT drunk. 'cause it was just a bunch of dudes, you know? Then everybody started taking off their shirts and I was like "Oh, well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do". So I went and grabbed the baby oil. When I got back motherfuckers were bleedin' and shit, then they held me down and pinned a medal right through my skin.

Q: What happened after that?

Butter: Well, I put some iodine on that shit, then I got the hell of dodge.

Q: Why did you start the Boogaloo?

Popcorn: We wanted to spread the word about breakdancin', so we attacked all these celebrity fake ass poseurs and wrote about all the ho's. All we got in return was a bunch of bunk asses complaining about how many times we used the word bitch.

Butter: And we didn't even use the word bitch once.

Popcorn: Hell Nah we didn't, not one time. We were puzzled as all can get, then we realized they were complaining about the word bee-yatch!

Q: Isn't that the same thing?

Butter: Are you stupid? They aren't even spelled the same. Bitch, Beeeeeee-Yatch! A moron could tell da difference.

Popcorn: Yeah, then some bee-yatch from Alaska writes our ass saying never to send her anything again 'cause we called Susan Lucci a "hoochie". So we just started sending her anything and everything we could. I sent her a piece of bird poop..autographed, and Butter sent her nine of ten toenails over 9 weeks as part of the toenail of the week collection. She just sent it back. Can you believe the nerve of some people?

Q: So why did you stop doing it after one issue?

Butter: We're lazy asses.

Q: How did you hook up with Anal Log?

Popcorn: We don't know, they call up one night all jabbin' at the mouth about how they want to put out our zine. I was like "dope".

Butter: I was like "YEEEAAAH BOOOOY!"

Q: When does it come out?

Popcorn: I don't know.

Butter: They want to make it like a Catalog/Anal Log newsletter/our shit kind of thing. Yeah Boooy!

Popcorn: They gots the first one available now, but that's some whack ass shit! The new stuff is dope to the double O!

Butter: Keeping it real till twenty oh zero.

As previously mentioned, the 1st issue is now available. Check out our catalog for more details.
