The result was a literary threshing machine that was used more to destroy the effete manifestations of indie rock than to champion new bands. Although most of ''Ugly American's'' writers were influenced by the caustic commentary of ''[[Forced Exposure]]'' and ''Conflict'', they regarded the insider status of Byron Coley, Jimmy Johnson and Gerard Cosloy as antithetical to critical autonomy, and consequently adopted a less compromised and more brutally honest approach to criticism. During the <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">"</del>peak<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">" </del>years of <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">"</del>alternative rock<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">" </del>(1989-1993), nearly every rock-oriented music label extant added ''Ugly American'' to their mailing list, only to inevitably blacklist the zine once said labels discovered that they couldn't establish the customary quid pro quo of positive reviews for the latest releases. In a roundabout way, ''Ugly American'' could be viewed as the shadowy counterpart to ''CMJ'' magazine, because while the zine’s gleeful antagonism alienated most labels, it also built a fanbase of industry associates and musicians equally critical of the machinations of the music business. Gerard Cosloy, Lyle Preslar and Ben McOsker (of Load Records) were a few of its alleged fans, and for a brief period Chapman contributed to both ''Forced Exposure'' and ''[[Your Flesh]]'' (as well as ''Swank'' magazine, for which he continues to write video reviews). Musicians who wrote for the zine included Tod Ashley (Cop Shoot Cop and Firewater), [[Lisa Carver]] (aka Suckdog), Tim Cronin (ex-Monster Magnet), Tom Smith (Peach of Immortality and To Live and Shave in L.A.), Bliss Blood and Scott Ayers (Pain Teens), Stefan Jaworzyn (ex-Skullflower), Simeon (Silver Apples), and Scott Ruth (Ripping Corpse and Dim Mak).

First, three of the four original members were involved in small-scale (and now defunct) musical projects that, like ''Ugly American'', had a handful of diehard supporters and numerous detractors. Chapman and Sullivan comprised two-thirds of Frown, Chapman was involved with Woozlebug and Evil Acidhead, and was a touring member of both Temple of Bon Matin and To Live and Shave in L.A., Marlowe released solo work under the Holland/Skin/Tunnel moniker, and Sullivan fronted the noise-rock bands Dead Air and Finished. Second, Ed Sullivan left after issue #10 for personal reasons, and the zine changed for both the better and the worse. Sullivan's sharp intelligence, scathing humor and generally excellent writing - all of which were instrumental in shaping ''Ugly American's'' identity - were sorely missed. On the other hand, the remaining members viewed the change as an opportunity to move the zine in a different direction, and the pieces written after Sullivan's departure are in general characterized more by extended forays into absurdist musing, abstract speculation, drug-fueled exegesis, and ramshackle critical theory than by the cheerfully vicious brevity of ''Ugly American's'' early years. And on a final note, Chapman suffered a stroke not long after issue #12 was released, and the zine appeared to be finished. Marlowe subsequently edited and financed the entirety of issue #13, as he and Chapman were the only two contributors at that point. Chapman felt the issue to be consistent with the previous issues, and ''Ugly American'' folded, he thought, "at the top of its game". </div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>As to the core contributors, there are only a few relevant facts.

The result was a literary threshing machine that was used more to destroy the effete manifestations of indie rock than to champion new bands. Although most of ''Ugly American's'' writers were influenced by the caustic commentary of ''[[Forced Exposure]]'' and ''Conflict'', they regarded the insider status of Byron Coley, Jimmy Johnson and Gerard Cosloy as antithetical to critical autonomy, and consequently adopted a less compromised and more brutally honest approach to criticism. During the "peak" years of "alternative rock" (1989-1993), nearly every rock-oriented music label extant added ''Ugly American'' to their mailing list, only to inevitably blacklist the zine once said labels discovered that they couldn't establish the customary quid pro quo of positive reviews for the latest releases. In a roundabout way, ''Ugly American'' could be viewed as the shadowy counterpart to ''CMJ'' magazine, because while the zine’s gleeful antagonism alienated most labels, it also built a fanbase of industry associates and musicians equally critical of the machinations of the music business. Gerard Cosloy, Lyle Preslar and Ben McOsker (of Load Records) were a few of its alleged fans, and for a brief period Chapman contributed to both ''Forced Exposure'' and ''[[Your Flesh]]'' (as well as ''Swank'' magazine, for which he continues to write video reviews). Musicians who wrote for the zine included Tod Ashley (Cop Shoot Cop and Firewater), [[Lisa Carver]] (aka Suckdog), Tim Cronin (ex-Monster Magnet), Tom Smith (Peach of Immortality and To Live and Shave in L.A.), Bliss Blood and Scott Ayers (Pain Teens), Stefan Jaworzyn (ex-Skullflower), Simeon (Silver Apples), and Scott Ruth (Ripping Corpse and Dim Mak).

And on a final note, Chapman suffered a stroke not long after issue #12 was released, and the zine appeared to be finished.

Second, Ed Sullivan left after issue #10 for personal reasons, and the zine changed for both the better and the worse. Sullivan's sharp intelligence, scathing humor and generally excellent writing - all of which were instrumental in shaping ''Ugly American's'' identity - were sorely missed. On the other hand, the remaining members viewed the change as an opportunity to move the zine in a different direction, and the pieces written after Sullivan's departure are in general characterized more by extended forays into absurdist musing, abstract speculation, drug-fueled exegesis, and ramshackle critical theory than by the cheerfully vicious brevity of ''Ugly American's'' early years. And on a final note, Chapman suffered a stroke not long after issue #12 was released, and the zine appeared to be finished. Marlowe subsequently edited and financed the entirety of issue #13, as he and Chapman were the only two contributors at that point. Chapman felt the issue to be consistent with the previous issues, and ''Ugly American'' folded, he thought, "at the top of its game". </div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>As to the "core" contributors, there are only a few relevant facts. First, three of the four original members were involved in small-scale (and now defunct) musical projects that, like ''Ugly American'', had a handful of diehard supporters and numerous detractors. Chapman and Sullivan comprised two-thirds of Frown (''Wallghost''), Chapman was involved with Woozlebug (''Mullicana''), and was a touring member of both Temple of Bon Matin and To Live and Shave in L.A., and Marlowe released the self-titled ''Holland/Skin/Tunnel'' CD.
