A diary-like zine, with a style of writing that is interesting to say the least. Information is given without much in the way of rhetorical flourishes, but there just seems to be a feeling of detachment from the events of Sean s life, a feeling which never truly goes away. This is not to say that it is hard to get into the zine, but that there is a nagging…
This Week, the Tripwire premiered McCarthy Trenching’s darling new video “The Most Attractive Disguise,” calling the video “appropriately simple and endearing, showcasing his love of music, nature, beer and… well, that’s about it.â€
Billy Joel’s 1977 album, “The Strangerâ€, has a number of hits that fans of Joel’s would declare as some of Joel’s defining tracks.

After a great amount of putzing around on my part, Gabe and Ben from The Vroloks were able to get together a show with another student organization. Learning about it a few days before it was supposed to happen, we ended up plastering it all over my show. The interesting thing about my radio show the night before the concert was the fast that at one point, we had 14…

Yet another zine by NeuFutur favorite Vera, but this time eir s creativity comes out in a very short and bizarre style of comic. A sort-of comic snapshot of Vera s life, each page details a different activity, whether it be wondering whether the dumpstered bagels ey s is eating are vegan, listening to Godspeed You Black Emperor!, or having a stomachache after reading Nieztche. Vera s style reminds us…
Without actually being able to see any of the issues in the previous volume of Think Again, one can only judge how the magazine is from the six-page newsletter that is this issue. This means painfully few articles dictate whether or not one will wish to return for this zine. The crew that creates Think Again is thankfully skilled enough in their writing to provide readers with a short and…

After what can only be called an homage to Bright Eyes’ “Liftedâ€, The End of the World come forth with a rounded out bit of indie rock that has all the swirling guitars and earthy sounds that a Sunny Day Real Estate or a Sebadoh were known. The emotive vocals skew more towards early nineties Goo Goo Dolls than Omaha, but the act thrives on this style. The emotional intensity…
Bigelf has broken big to the point that Linda Perry (formerly of 4 Non Blondes) has allowed them to be a focal point of eir Custard Records.

Bringing me back to my earliest days in shows, the concert that occurred at Megan’s, a Greencastle High Schooler, brought back a lot of ambivalent memories to my own high school punk experience. This time, there was no screaming at “the fag in the Manson shirtâ€, but getting out there was a more interesting story than any I had encountered up to that point. Earlier that day, I was in…

With the most simplistic page design, Think Again goes into the most shallow detailing about whatever topic they decide to cover. Thus, maybe the layout works in their favor. This go around, Adam and the Think Again-ers do a mini-biography on Henry Kissinger, break down the dollar bill, and very briefly, cover some Awful Link of the Day material, in Websites Your Mom Won t Like . While each page…
