The Heavy – Great Vengeance and Furious Fire
The Heavy – Great Vengeance and Furious Fire / 2008 Counter / 10 Tracks / http://www.myspace.com/theheavy73 / The style of funk that starts off “Great Vengeance and Furious Fire†could be present on the soundtrack of any Blaxploitation movie of the seventies. There is virtually nothing that could conceivably link this track to the current period, and that’s a good thing. While acts like Jameroquoi tried to do the same…

MMP To Re-Release Everybody Dies by Hateplow
Hateplow is not an average death metal band. Although stripped from any technical virtuosities or progressive experimentation, this group offers something which is (or should be) essential for all heavy music formations -Â the sheer brutality and aggression of metal enclosed in the most violent form possible. Hateplow is the ultimate death metal experience, where the only thing that matters is to bang your head and scream your guts out!…
The life and times of organic farmers
This is done by the editor of quixotic potential, Vera, and it really does a lot to dispel some of the myths that surround what exactly an organic farmer is. While I don’t get the whole “548 vs. 724” thing that is on the front cover, this zine is incredibly easy to understand and is full of cute drawings that break up the whiteness left on each page. This zine…
Farflung Set To Release “A Wound In Eternity”
Like an apocalyptic beacon from the dark cosmos, Farflung awake from the cryogenic tubes with warped sensibilities and cosmic wrath… This is the heaviest and most tripped-out offering from these musicnauts to date. Dive bombing moogs, crushing riffs, and mind numbing cataclysmic overtures. This is A Wound In Eternity. Spacewarped by the various crew members voyages with Chrome, Nik Turner’s Hawkwind,Damo Suzuki Network, and Pressurehed. They set off in this…

Putois – The Problem Is Not A Problem Anymore
Putois – The Problem Is Not A Problem Anymore / 2007 99 Hours of Secrets / 12 Tracks / http://www.myspace.com/putois / The first track on “The Problem Is Not A Problem Anymore†is “Safe Againâ€, and while the first few seconds seem to push individuals away, the quiet bit of indie rock that Putois put forth on the early echelons of this CD is compelling as all get out. The…
Meatsheet #6
Meatsheet #6 ($1, no address listed) This zine is black and white interview-oriented, but still has the feel of being a small-market zine. All the reviews/interviews/ writing is done by one John Meat, and I can only assume that he does the background set-ups for the magazine. If so, the magazine looks pretty professional while still having that totally DIY feel to it. I feel like I am missing something…

The Lemonheads – It’s A Shame About Ray
The Lemonheads – It’s A Shame About Ray / 2008 Rhino / 35 Tracks / http://www.rhino.com / I was too young to be paying attention to music when The Lemonheads originally broke big with 1990’s “Loveyâ€, but I heard enough in the way of individuals talking about the band to understand that they were a “big thingâ€. This is the collector’s edition of their 1992 smash, “It’s A Shame About…
Eivind Opsvik – Overseas III
Eivind Opsvik – Overseas III / 2008 Loyal Label / 7 Tracks / http://www.eivindopsvik.com/ / The name Eivind Opsvik may not immediately ring a bell, but he is currently playing in acts such as Hari Honzu, Rocket Engine, the Ben Gerstein Collective, and the Kris Davis Quartet.

Letter of Resignation #2
Letter of Resignation #2 / Forth-Sized / 28 Pages / Kyle Folson, 301 Colonial Dr. #9, Ipswich, MA 01938 / crushkyledestroy@hotmail.com / This zine is the sometimes confusing diatribe about two people crossing the United States, starting from Massachusetts, going to New Mexico, California, and the like, and the experiences that they’ve had. The intensely personal beginning of the zine, discussing the desire to help the DIY ethos, moves seamlessly…
