This is the august issue of Hiroshima Yeah! Reading HY! Is like opening a gift you never
know what to expect but you will definitely enjoy this. It`s even a better read
if you`re drinking a pint of beer and \ or cider at the same time. Let`s begin
with `poetry, suicides and drooping paper flowers` which is editor Mark
Ritchie`s wry, witty life observations. This
time around the standout piece is:
Low
murmur
The
low murmur of the bar
Calms
me .
The
rest of the world recedes.
This is short and sweet. Need I say more ? Then there`s Gary Simmons `1.5 years behind bars` (
it`s warped, it`s wild, it`s weird, it`s
life in jail) , there`s a lot of reviews inside. Be it music (cheap pop
section: read the Flesh For Frank – computer generated shit noise attack ,review, it rocks me c***), concert (The New Mendicants, don`t know this
band, but it seems interesting, gotta investigate this), and zines reviews
(Media Junky, The Barrel Nut, etc, etc). There`s a guide to Sam Peckinpah films, two
haikus and a short story `bag`( I can actually relate to this one. My two aunts
are despicable spinsters. You can choose your friends, but you`re stuck with
family, indeed) . Grab a pen, buy a stamp and write Mark a nice letter, it`s
worth the effort.
