Appearing here soon will be the Official site of POTPOURRI & ROSES, a relatively new music zine by . Whoopee.
Even though there's not much yet, feel free to snoop around & get salivating for those band interviews, CD reviews & mucho mas to come. I'll post a few of the interviews which can be found in the print version of Potpourri & Roses available for FREE around L.A. & all of Cali as well as WA, NY, TN, MI, LA, AZ, MA, BC (Canada)& more. Also available for 2 green bones (check, M.O. or cash disguised as something so unsavory, those greedy bastards at the P.O. would have nothing to do with it.) ($3 all foreign orders)
Send moolah, comments, contributions, rare Pez dispensers & any possible promo for review (note: all submissions will be considered for editorial review, but I make no guarantees it will make it in nor can I guarantee it will be positive. Sucky music gets sucky reviews.) As I was saying, mail all that crap to:
Potpourri & Roses
P.O. Box 25692
Los Angeleez, CA 90025
