Nuthin #19 / $2 / 60M / http://www.myspace.com/nuthin_zine / Nuthin is a zine that I feel disappears from my radar for a few months before coming back into focus.

Nuthin’ #17 / $? / 1:30 / 72M / http://www.myspace.com/nuthin_zine / Nuthin’ is a zine that has moved into the realm of more classic zine like Maximumrocknroll. The size of the zine (both in terms of physical size and page count) is lower than that of MRNR, but there is a lot of material to go through this time. There are a number of advertisements in this issue of Nuthin’,…

July 2001 – I know why this zine is free, and because of it, it really suffers. Sure, the circulation increases when ad revenues increase, but unless page count rises, then substance decreases. NID suffers from a serious lack of material, sandwiching small interviews in between advertisements for various Columbus-area strip clubs and glamour shots of the large bands to play Columbus. Honestly, for a zine that could do so…
