HOTET FRAN SKORGANA
$15, 8½” x 5½”, printed, 24 pgs.

TNS RECORDS FANZINE #13
Free, 8 ½” x 5 ½”, 72 pgs.
By Dave Brainwreck
The layout doesn’t speak to me, smacking of crisp, uninventive computer design as it does, but I’ll forgive that given how much work it must be running a record label, radio station, and distro on top of putting out a zine.

For me, it was the badass fan letter from a prisoner in the back, brimming with humor and punk.
|
|
STOWAWAYS, THE #6
8 ½” x 11”, photocopied, 8 pgs.
By Craven
My favorite part is the show reviews, where he manages to talk about anything but the band that played, focusing, instead, on human interactions and hanging out that happens as a result.
|
|

By Katie Dunne
. I’d say it’s worth it if you want to feel all warm and fuzzy about DIY music.

PROOF I EXIST #15
$3, 4” x 5 ½”, photocopied, 56 pgs.

Talking about crushes in a zine is like putting drums in a bluegrass band or wearing a beret to a poetry reading—both of which suck for different reasons.
|
|
POSER
$?, 5 ½” x 8 ½”, photocopied, 10 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
My patience for “difficult fiction” (Joyce, Pynchon, Proust) all hinges on that there better be a fuckin’ payoff somewhere in there or I’m callin’ bullshit. Thankfully, here there is.

ONE-BREAD SANDWICH #1
