The latest issue
of This 8.5 by 11 inches, black & white, cut & paste, six pages long
monthly zine. The cover star this time around is none other than the late and
great (1943-1976), one of the founding members of The Supremes,
Florence Ballard. Let`s begin with poetry and `sinister intimacy`.
My favorite ones are:
Analogue
man
I read
books,
They stare at
Kindles.
I spin
vinyl,
They
Spotify.
I am an analogue
man <
In a digital
world.
And
Enslavement
Did my ancestors
bitch about
The advent of
photography,
About
cinema,
About the
telephone
The way I bitch
about
Smartphones,
E-readers
And social
media?
Did my ancestors
wonder
As I
do,
When does
technology
Become
enslavement?
Damned straight
baybee. I mean what more is there to say. Lord Gary Simmons enlightens us
with `13.82 billion years of hell` (his monthly instalments, personal
ramblings, and funny in a warped way writings). There`s some books, DVD and
music reviews. We end it all with our usual trilogy of writing misfits:
`retro old me`(Gary Simmons + Mark Ritchie warped texting),
`uncle dysfunctional`(a shorty from Mark Ritchie),
and `doctor Thornaby `(you have to read it to believe it). Contact:
