I always thought that Vivian Girls were all right, but they got a whole hell of a lot cooler when I learned in here that their shoes were puked on by a contributor to Broke Ass. Broke Ass is an awesome old school style cut ‘n’ paste zine from Newfoundland. It’s got the said story about chundering on Vivian Girls shoes, a hilarious writeup on food-based mascots, a contributor story of a Green Day show attended in one’s youth, a few comics, and a Mexico scene report. It’s charming fun and sloppy as hell. There’s also a tale of a bit of aimless wandering that led to dumpster diving and a page about how to remove the cancellation marks off of postage stamps by soaking them in alcohol. Some things never change. –Craven Rock (towerofswine@hotmail.com)
