Hiroshima Yeah! # 101 (july 2013) (zine)



HY comes out every month, which is a hell of a good thing mates. It`s  a 8.5 by 11 inches black and white, cut and paste, five pager zine. I love this zine. Let`s start things off with `poems under neon` short, witty, wry, daily observations, simply beautiful. Read the following:
Reconnect
Sometimes you need to feel alienated
To make you want to reconnect
with the world
short and sweet, that`s the way I like it. Next, there`s Gary Simmons `1.5 years behind bars` ( life on the inside i.e. being incarcerated), a lot of music, concerts, (the Pastels, Neil Young & Crazy Horse),  and book reviews. There`s also `Alienation` (a strangely bizarre tale of… alienation) and `wurzeword` (a different take on the wordsearch game). I never saw Neil Young live even though I love his music. My favorite song `rockin`in the free world`from the album `freedom` (1989).       `Rockin`in the free world `sounds like a  grunge anthem and it came out before any grungy bands released anything. He probably influenced , a lot of bands like: Mudhoney,  Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Tad. Smells like teen spirited distortion indeed.
