BEE’S KNEES #20
$3, 8½ x 11, 48 pgs.
By Josh
I’d like to see a bit more risk taking in the layout. As it is, there’s a whole lot of white space and everything looks pretty similar.
|
|
BANDOPPLER #5
$4.95, 8 x 10, 80 pgs.
By Josh
The Bloodhag interview is excellent. It’s easily the best thing in this zine.
|
|
BAND AID CANCER, #1
$1, 4 ½ x 8 ½, photocopied, 28 pgs.
By amy
One of those not-so-rare publications that you can’t read on the principle that you don’t like reading boring, self-indulgent, diary-esque entries about how a dude went on a little trip tinged with alcohol, Midwestern punk rock shows, and really big pizzas.
|
|
3RD GENERATION NATION
#28, $4 8 ½ x 11, offset glossy, 66 pgs.
By amy
The little that I could read is your average punk rag fare of interviews with Bad Luck Charms, The Sleazies, The Minds, Wargasms, and The Ends.
|
|
TONES + NOTES, #1
$1 or trade, 4 x 8 photocopied, 15 pgs.
By Guest Contributor
If you are an anal retentive musician looking to geek out with other serious musicians, I strongly suggest you check this zine out.
|
|
THOUGHTWORM #11
$2, 5 ½ x 8 ½, photocopied, linoleum block print cover, 28 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
This issue of Thoughtworm holds even more resonance for me because there’s an essay where his memory’s failing him—even if he looks at pictures of himself—yet he has palpable reactions and floods of memories by listening to older albums.
|
|
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF JAW
4 x 6, 48 pgs.
By Guest Contributor
This zine’s more of a short story about jerking off.
|
|
SILLY LITTLE TROUSER MONKEES, #20
8 x 11, newsprint, 50 pgs.
By Guest Contributor
I don’t know how old these fuckers are but they sent me a note on the back of a chemistry cheat sheet, therefore I say they win the “Baddest Dudes Who Took the Chemistry Exam” award.
|
|
RIOT 77, #7
3 Euros, 8 ½ x 12, glossy, 50 pgs.
By brian
With Marky Ramone as cover boy and interviews with the Supersuckers, Leatherface, punk graphic artist Alan Hynes.
|
|
RANCID NEWS, # 6
1 pound, 8 x 11, glossy color cover, newsprint, 112 pgs.
By Guest Contributor
Even though it looks lame, it isn’t.
|
|
SLUG AND LETTUCE, #79
Free, 11 x 14 ½, printed on pulp, 19 pgs.
By brian
There are no articles in this issue that were particularly interesting to me, but they are well written. At least I think they are; my eyes can’t quite make out all the tiny little letters.
|
|
SLUG, Vol. 15, issue 185
Free, 8 x 11, color/news print, 39 pgs.
By Guest Contributor
I can’t figure out if I like or hate the CD reviews.
|
|
LULULAND, #3 and 4
$3 for both, 5 ½ x 8 ½, 96 pgs. total for both.
By Megan Pants
Another is about getting fired from a toy store for making her own advertising stickers for toys (i.e. “When I grow up, I wanna get knocked up!”).
|
|
LIBRARY BONNET, #7
$2, 8 ½ x 5 ½, 32 pgs.
By Megan Pants
If you like your literary humor mixed with cartoons of teacups full of diarrhea, then this is for you.
|
|
IT’S ALL GRAVY, #6
$1.00, 4 ¼ x 5 ½, photocopied, 26 pgs.
By brian
She tells all the guys, “being a boy-feminist is still cool. The chicks still dig it. And it still gets you mad pussy.”
|
|
GRACKLE #2
$1, 4 1/5 x 5 1/2, photocopied, silkscreened cover, 28 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
The clincher about this zine is that if someone handed it to me and said, “It’s zine’s about a lady who gets into weightlifting and then decides to join a cycling team,” I’d be suspicious. But by reading such an earnest and steady account—and seeing that at the edges that this is a treatise on finding your own path in life—Grackle’s a great read.
|
|
GO METRIC, #18
$2, 8 x 11, newsprint, 70 pgs.
By Guest Contributor
Features interviews with Sgt. Major, the Fevers, and the Rock’n’roll Adventure Kids. But my favorite article by far was the personal account of Dan Paquin from Dirt Bike Annie remembering Dirtnap labelmates, the Exploding Hearts.
|
|
GHOSTS OF READY REFERENCE, THE, #2
3 stamps or trade, ¼ size, 32 pgs.
By Megan Pants
Pigeonholes a woman suffering from the effects of a stroke as “B-O-B,” Bitter Old Bitch.
|
|
FRAN, #6
Free around Los Angeles, $3 by mail, 8 ½ x 11, 58 pgs.
By Megan Pants
Comes off as “you should’ve been there…” jokes that I showed up about five minutes late for.
|
|
ELK #7
$4, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, photocopied, color photocopy cover, 66 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
Sade sings next to a Bukowski poem.
|
|
DO-IT-YOURSELF SILKSCREENING: HOW TO TURN YOUR HOME INTO A T-SHIRT FACTORY
$2, 7 x 8 ½, photocopied, 18 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
Having never silkscreened my own t-shirts, but always being intrigued by the process, this is a neat introduction.
|
|
CRACKS IN THE WALL #5
4 ¼ X 5 ½, photocopied, 46 pgs.
By brian
The only thing he talks about is how modern society is too obsessed with materialism and the need for instant gratification; and how, even though we have access to unprecedented amounts of information, thanks to the internet, we’re still a bunch of ignorant jerks.
|
|
CONCRETE WAVE
$4.95, Vol 3., No.1, 9 x 11, full color cover, glossy insides, 90 pgs.
By Todd Taylor
I totally applaud that they cover pool skating, ditch riding, hill bombing, freestyle, slalom, and all the more soulful, life-affirming nuances that skating can bring.
|
|
CHAIRMEN OF THE BORED, #20
8 ½ x 11, photocopied, 24 pgs.
By brian
One of them actually spent time in solitary as punishment for using the prison’s paper and photocopier without authorization. Now that’s suffering for your art.
|
|
ANTI- PANTS, # 8
$1 or trade, photocopied, 35 pgs.
By Guest Contributor
A zine reminiscent of a middle school yearbook.
