One in a series of posts featuring pages from Hermenaut, a DIY intellectual zine/journal published by HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn from 1992 through 2000-01.
Phil Milstein (also known as Phabulous Phil Milstein, Phil X. Milstein, Tapeworm, etc.) is a Boston-based alternative-music journalist, designer, researcher, and musician. He founded the Velvet Underground Appreciation Society in 1977 and edited its fanzine, “What Goes On”; he made tape creations and loops for Thalia Zedek’s band, Uzi, in the mid ’80s, and for others as well.
And he sometimes wrote for Hermenaut! We were thrilled to have him in our pages. He also did his own illustrations and layouts.
