Joybuzzer Issue Three Interview

This is an interview with the band on the Forever In Your Face Tour, January, 1993 that appeared in Joybuzzer Issue Three.
Although the zine always got tons of soundbites and firsthand information from the band on various things, strangely, this was the only interview done with the band for the zine. Note: Tommy's Joybuzzer T-Shirt and Tim's Mutiny shirt.

Mutiny Review, Alternative Press 9/92

A slightly bitchy Mutiny review from the Alternative Press.

In Perpetuity (1993)

This, according to Joybuzzer, was released to radio on February 9, 1993. Had Giant Records chosen to invest in the music video that the band already shot, would have (at very least) been a minor hit. The Forever In Your Face Tour in 1993 was in support of this single. There was no front or back cover art so this is all you get. I love that it gives the proper pronunciation and definition of "perpetuity" on the CD itself.

Mutiny Seventeen Review!!!

Perhaps not worthy of my triple exclamation points, but still funny nonetheless. I think this popped up in the Finally liner notes. Actually Liz, "Stay At Home" sounds like The Cars (or whomever Roy Thomas Baker applied his multi-tracking vocal technique to that week). But yes, we both agree that Tommy Vinton is TMJ's secret weapon.

Donna Everywhere (1992)

This was the quintessential TMJ single, which also means it wasn't a tremendous hit but should have been. An absolute power pop masterpiece of the 1990's. The video was actually very good (and directed by Teller of Penn & Teller). I still remember WDRE-FM playing this seemingly non-stop in August of 1992. Ah, the Summer of '92.

T-Shirt Order Forms! Tim Quirk T-Shirt letter!

These are T-Shirt order forms that I believe came with issue two of Joybuzzer. Or not. And the bottom one is from the Green Eggs & Crack CD release. Exciting stuff, eh? Granted, unlike very many other bands TMJ had the rare distinction of having genuinely funny, cool and wearable T-Shirts. These order forms are actually pretty funny as far as these things go. There's also a letter from Tim circa 1996. I kinda lived in Too Much Joy T-Shirts throughout the 1990's. Since Tim was the T-Shirt guy of the band I had lots of interaction with him as a result. He even called my house at one point regarding an order. Exciting stuff for a seventeen year-old. I had all of these shirts at various times except for the black Mutiny shirt, the stamped-Mutiny shirt, the colored SOSIA shirt, and the Forever In Your Face shirt. I believe I wore the Cereal Killer The Scream Trix bunny T-shirt the least (for starters it was white and did not seem to reflect band sentiment at all). Followed closely by the Finally shirt, which was a bit impractical and, also...it was white.

It doesn't get more exciting than T-Shirt order forms.
