InterStitial #1 The focus is music and politics. Sounds good to me. In the past, I've reviewed some of James' other writings and never really took to them. But this one, I like. Inside you'll find writing about mix tapes (a blanket statement run down of their silent message) interviews with The Red Hot Valentines, show, music and zine reviews, sodomy laws (including the recent Texas court decision) the history of the UPC symbol, along with manipulation tips, a look at good old W, 5 of the top ten movies you've never seen (Ha! I've seen 4 of the 5, and yes, they rock), a look back at the life of Warren Zevon, experiences at a hip hope freestyle and more. A good strong mix that threw together so many different subjects you're bound to find something of interest.

InterStitial #1 Another great zine from James, who also does NeuFutur, which I reviewed last month. Fun interview with The Red Hot Valentines, a great write-up about mix tapes from Mike Dikk (who is also writing movie reviews for Bulletproof Popemobile with Jay Pud, starting this month!), a write up on Warren Zevon, damn good zine and music reviews, and other poetry and political commentaries. I have to say that this is a zine that you can pick up at any place, and will find something that will get you interested. That's what a good zine does. And, this is a good zine. | http://www.bulletproofpopemobile.com/bppmframesetup.html

InterStitial #1 - Apparently, this is a group effort. I think... I haven't figured out if JMcQ is James or not. I dunno. Anyway, this zine is OK. I didn't like the mixtape article at all, but Jame's writing on the Sodomy laws on the following page makes up for it. The UPC generation article is very useful. There is an interview with the band "the Red Hot Valentines" and reviews of music, zines and the rest. This zine comes with a mini-zine called "Texas on My Mind" which is just the lyrics to the song by Pat Green and pictures by JMcQ to go along. Looking forward to future issues of this one. | http://supremenothing.tripod.com/bestzinesever/id3.html

InterStitial #1 - Moderately entertaining zine, with a few good pieces, especially the mix-tape article (I'm very guilty of making a mixtape for a girl I want to bang), the zine reviews and the awesome article about Warren Zevon. It actually made me go out and buy Excitable Boy. But for every great article, there are two crap ones. Anytime the zine goes into horrible poetry (note to all publishers: EVERYONE HATES POETRY!), or even worse, when it devolves into half-baked, uninformed, bumper-sticker politics, it becomes the same-old thing everyone seems to be making these days. Yeah, yeah, Bush sucks, blah blah. Find a new platform because it's getting old. And also, why all the press for the Red Hot Valentines? Who are they? Are they your friends or something? | http://poopsheet.blogspot.com
