I just love this 8.5 by 11 inches black and white, cut and paste, monthly, five pager zine. We open things up with the usual poetry from `the bourbon and the shame`. Lots of witty and meditative poems, as it`s always the case here. My favorite is:
Candles
Listening to Amy
Singing `back to black`
In an almost empty pub,
Teary-eyed,
Candles flickering,
Burning down.
A nice short and sweet efficient lttle ditty, isn`t it? There is the usual collection of music, film, book, zines and concerts (`Drive By Truckers`and `Mike Watt And The Missingmen`) reviews. Next, there`s `The Great Rock`N`Roll Tolchock`i.e. selected dispatches from an ultra-violent offender on probation. This is Gary Simmons monthly installment of antisocial, pissed off, angry but funny schizoid, insane ramblings. He should do his own zine and I would provide the noisy soundtrack. Mark Ritchie ends things up with `the click` a short story which made me thirsty like hell. Details? You want details now? No way pick up a paper, a pen and contact Hiroshima Yeah! :
