Media Junky #18 Winter 2013 (review zine)

This half size, black & white, cut & paste, sixteen pager is crammed with reviews. Jason Rodgers reviews submitted material with a physical address, exclusively (that`s why I wrote me address, so he will finally review my small newsletter) . Media Junky promotes DIY cultural resistance. There`s lots of DIY, independent  chapbooks, zines, newsletters out there. Jason gives a voice to the voiceless, the fringe, the kooks (aren`t we all), the weird, the old school, anti-technology. Some people would state that he`s anti-evolution. I, on the other hand think he`s anti-devolution. In a world of intellectual apathy, of high speed internet, of S phones (yes, stupid phones), of faceshit, shitfaced, and twitter… When reading a  paragraph, a text with more than 140 characters feels like reading a motherfucking encyclopedia. I`m happy that Media Junky exists. It represents a stand, a strong statement for underground, independent DIY projects. It`s an amazing read, I totally recommend it. Now don`t just stand there, send him something to review and don`t forget to write your address. Contact here:

Psionic Plastic Joy # 17 (fall 2012) (zine)

Here`s another fine issue of Jason Rodgers amazing counterculture , anti technology \ internet zine. There`s 32 pages  of  half-size, cut and paste, black and white material. PPJ is one of my favorite zines, along with the R.I.P. old Nightwaves (New Brunswick`s own publication covering electronic music). There`s a good mix of weird ass articles along various collages and artworks. My favorite articles where: `introduction – further notes on technology`( I understand Jaoson`s point of view but I feel that the internet, if used properly is just another  tool for free publicity), and `covert black-ops mission against Reality Impaired Recordings fails – bring the noise` (conspiracy theory anyone ?) and `Neo-Neoist Tenets`( this brought back a lot of old memories from the defunct and Montréal`s own Total Zero recordings, rmemeber Phycys? Vermiform Front? Trondant?). I like his choice of artists \ collagists. Let`s see, there is Malok (a standout piece of abstract psychedelism), Haddock, Lena Samo , Yves Albrechts (from Belgium), Reed Altemus, Thompson, François Marceau (yes that`s me, hey, I`m everywhere) and Stuart Stratu (from Australia). 

And how much does this cost ? It`s simple, 2.00 $ USA or 3.00 $ worldwide. Forget about digital era, let`s get physical:
