Cool Beans is also a really nifty "Indie Punk Music Zine" and record label put out by Matt Kelly: first in San Francisco, and more recently in Portland, OR. They've been around since 1988 (as a BBS). The print zine started in 1993.

The creator(s) have published something like 14 issues and about five independent recordings in all that time; have usually included some really great compilation tape or cd with the issue; have put out recorded material by The Rondelles, lowercase, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, A Minor Forest, Butthole Surfers and many more (some of it unreleased or exclusive tracks); have occasionally included software on CD-ROM from the Cult of the Dead Cow; do interviews, reviews, tour diaries, kick-ass artwork, you name it.
