	Maximumrocknroll Interviews Aaron Cometbus
		Cometbus began the trend of focusing on the personal side of the punk scene, instead of the usual political or musical aspects.
		What has set Cometbus apart from the fanzines it has influenced, is Aaron's ability to regularly and continually put out unique, well-written, and interesting issues.
		Cometbus has changed the way fanzines are written, and has become, it's safe to say, one of the most important contributions to the history of punk.

	Despite Everything: A Cometbus Omnibus
		Cometbus is a fanzine that has transcended its own label and even its own ambitions.
		A junkpile of ideas, Cometbus was refreshing in that it abandoned the general formula of record review, band interviews and the like.
		Cometbus holds a special place in the hearts of its readers because it is one of the few underground voices that hasn’t allowed itself to be watered down and filtered though bigger, generally corporate outfits.

		Cometbus is about what longtime contributor Peter Montgomery describes as "streetscapes, listening to people's stories, awkward situations, alternative lifestyles, researching the history behind misunderstood events, sleepless nights, and coffee." Succinctly written short articles and first-person vignettes capture the essence of life on the streets and in the underground, from Berkeley to Belgium.
		Cometbus is informal ethnography at a punk-rock group house, I Cover the Waterfront set in an Albany copy shop, On the Road on caffeine instead of Benzedrine.
		The next Cometbus will be a contributor issue with plenty of stuff about how "longtime punks grapple with and adjust to the real world." It will be followed by a collection of Aaron's short stories, and a novella-length issue is in the planning stages.

	Encyclopedia: Cometbus
		Punk culture as it is seen today started in the mid 1970s as a movement or rebellion against some styles of music which existed at the time such as Prog Rock and Heavy Metal whose stars were seen as out of touch with their fans.
		Cometbus consistently refers to the heady inception of punk culture and continues to be a fitting tribute and continuation of those beginnings.
		Cometbus is often nostalgic in the sense of acknowledging the sadness of the past passing without proclaiming that it was better.

		Along the way Cometbus often works the graveyard shift at copy shops, when "wingnuts come in to Xerox tinfoil." Aaron's metier is an acute observation of and interaction with the unseen, nighttime side of humanity.
		Cometbus captures the everyday combination of hope, desire and depression and has an exquisite sensitivity to the "small pleasures that quench your thirst for life, and wash down those big disappointments."
		His religion is based on "people in bands who worked hard, had guts and humor, and set an example by the way they talked and moved and sang." He is a purist and believes fanzines have been instrumental in shaping identity and making connections and forming the movement.

		Though the short observational vignette is his hallmark, Cometbus has increasingly used his 80-some pages to zoom in on a particular place (Northern Virginia, say, or an East Bay dive bar), or, more recently, on a particular idea.
		Cometbus has long been a must-read for the local punkerati.
		In interviews with people who packed up and moved to rural Northern California, the issue reveals that the recollections of hippies, pot farmers, and their children at once celebrate the freedom of the idea and underscore the downsides of its harsh reality.

	Book Review: Aaron Cometbus, Chicago Stories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Aaron Elliot's Cometbus is perhaps the best known of the fanzines that once provided the lifeblood of the underground punk rock scene in the San Francisco bay area, and to a large extent, the United States as a whole.
		Cometbus' success has always been that rather than simply interview bands and review records it address the intersection of punk rock and the personal and how the ideals and ethics of the punk scene manifest themselves in the author's everyday life.
		Cometbus has long been one of the best zines and Chicago Stories provides some introduction to what all the hype is about.

		Not only does Cometbus weave an enthralling tale though, the way he writes is smooth and enjoyable.
		Cometbus is a master at reading people, and a total "fly on the wall" kinda guy like a good writer should be.
		I was a little pissed at the text at first, the "handwritten" look of it is a bit harder to read than your average novel, but once I got a few pages in and my eyes adjusted, I was lost in the drumps of Berkley.

		So there: Among the miscellany of contents found in Cometbus, every issue of which is dense with cartoons, hand-written tall tales, maps (one, drawn by members of Green Day, tells of their early nationwide tour, long before they ever climbed the pop charts), there was a piece of my life.
		More than anything, Cometbus and his contributors liked to wander; when reading of the sheer distance of his wanderings, it is less surprising that he nearly crossed paths with me so often.
		He spent an awful lot of time in Minneapolis, his self-described home away from home, in part because of a thriving punk and zine scene (this was the heyday of the locally produced Profane Existence), but, from his descriptions of the town, in part because there was so much to see here.

		A lonely young woman headlined her personal ad in an alt-weekly "Cometbus Punkrock Love." And there is no shortage of buyers on eBay eager to cough up $10 or $20 a pop for ratty out-of-print back issues.
		Another prominent feature of Cometbus is Aaron’s fascination with found papers: the half-baked rants, semicoherent letters and demented fliers littering urban streets and filling the "left-behind masters" boxes in copy shops.
		Aaron has published issues of Cometbus during residencies seemingly everywhere from Benecia, CA, to Richmond, VA. Or he might be on the next bus, hoping the driver buys his story that his ticket only looks like it expired last year.

		Covering everything from travel adventures to dumpster diving, Cometbus forms a literary soundtrack for the lives of its readers.
		if cometbus has meant anything to me over the years it has meant a curiosity about society that stems from true love of people (not "the people", but people as individuals), & the promise of a life that doesn't revolve around wage slavery or greed or a desire for consumer electronics.
		I remember him selling little tiny issues of Cometbus in front of clubs he wasn't even old enough to get into, so I've been reading his stuff for many years.
