This is the twentieth anniversary issue of Slug and Lettuce. It’s quite a bit different than usual. As usual, Chris(tine) has her column and in this particular one she gives us a rundown of the history of S and L, in her usual energetic as hell style. Worth ordering for that alone. What makes it different, however, is that the rest of the issue is a collection of years and years of Chris(tine)’s photos of bands. It sucked to find out that this magazine is going to be going on hiatus. The postage hike has hit this publication pretty hard. While she insists that this won’t be the last print issue, it won’t be the same as we know it. In order to stay above water, future issues will be more condensed or something like that. That can’t be good because I liked every part of Slug and Lettuce. Now I’m really, really bummed. These are truly the Last Days. I hope Chris(tine) gets some well-deserved rest though, she certainly deserves it. –Craven Rock (Slug and Lettuce, PO Box 26632, Richmond, VA23261-6632)
