Austinpunksoreal

Idle Time #8
"xeroxed and potato-printed"

RIP Dixon. The unnamed man who died in this somewhat mysterious drowning (was it an electrocution?) was Dixon Colburne Coulbourne, THE major documentor of Austin's punk scene from '79 to '86 with his Idle Time zine. Some of the pictures and zine-pages he has archived are absolutely amazing. Big Boys. Dicks. Butthole Surfers...
Rest in Peace, Dixon. With this, plus the murder of Ram (of legendary San Antonio punk-rock dive Taco Land fame,) the old gaurd of TX punk is starting to disappear, in violent fashion no less.

Update: This new Statesman article has a little more info on Dixon and his death.
