This is my
favorite 8.5 by 11 inches, cut and paste, black and white, monthly five pager
zine. The cover star of this issue is none other than Lou Reed himself
(1942-1973). He was the lead guitarist of The Velvet Underground. And I do plead
guilty your honor, I never heard their music, therefore I have absolutely no
idea what they sound like. A couple of years ago, I used to own Lou Reed`s
`Hudson River Wind Meditations `CD. Like I said, I used to own
said album (you draw your own conclusion here). On the front page we have poetry
`for the numb and the dumb `. My favorite poems this time around
are:
Bosses
I had no respect
for them anyway
But seeing them
dancing about
In a `silent disco
`
With painted
faces
And clad in fancy
dress
While I`m trying
to work
Truly makes me
wonder
If I`m on the same
planet
As these
motherfuckers.
And
Unaware
Probation officers
and bosses
Who are
unaware
Of
typewriters,
Video
recorders,
And a world
before,
The instant empty
hit of now;
They are the
future,
We are the past.
Next in line,
there`s some music, book and concert reviews (Morrissey + Buffy
Sainte-Marie – The Hydro, Glasgow, 21-03-2015).
Then, there`s the
usual slab of contributors, doing; `The Great Rock `N`Roll
Tolchock` (Gary Simmons monthly adventures of life on the
inside, he should write a book), `the cunt form deacon blue`s
here` (Mark Ritchie + Gary Simmons insane texting gozungus
nonsense), `doctor Thornaby, chapter 9` (A.Willshaw). We end this lil
zine with `seven or eight `a short story from da man, Mark Ritchie
himself (a weird / warped interrogation shorty or so it seems, and nothing
really seems as it seems da end). Contact address:
