HY is a 8.5 by 11 inches black and white, cut and paste, seven pages zine. HY comes out every month, pretty amazing, eh. This time around it came out with an international compilation CD-R for celebrating it`s 100th issue. There`s lots of amazing reading material , starting out with Mark`s unique , raw, in da flesh short poems. My favorite one this time around is:
Hot And Sad
The `hot` girl
Wanting everyone to look at her,
Yet being ignored,
Is one of the saddest things
I have ever seen.
Let me take a swig from me beer so I can hide the small tear coming from me left eye. Next, there`s Gary Simmons `1.5 years behind bars` (I always enjoy is unique writing style), a lot of music, concert, (the Fall & Julie Doiron), DVD (Loui`s first season + i`m now the story of Mudhoney), and zine reviews. There`s a short (but weird) story (the brotherhood of the tree) and a small hand written Julie Doiron interview. Next the compilation. I consists of thirteen bands \ artists with different musical styles. There`s some weird experimental noise (Derelict mosquito Spontaneity, Bagman, Cold Boiled Dog), pissed-off garage rock \punk \ blues (Ceramic Hobs), drony \ throbbing ambient noise (Midwich), melancholic but dreamy pop (Paul Doucet, Shy Rights Movement, Valenstar), low-fi minimalism (Breadwinter), strange electronic experimentations (Minimal Frank), rock & roll (John Brown), synth pop \ electro pop i.e. we owe Kraftwerk everything department (Staline Plays Theremin), and a short (22 seconds) untitled spoken word piece.. Feel free to write HY! :
