Sometimes it’s a phone call Sometimes it’s a handshake Sometimes it’s a look in your best friends eyes. You never expect it. You never forget the moment When for the first time you realize that you can’t go back, Ever again. – “The Death Of…
The zinester that does this work is simply great. He is an adorable boy, but enough of that. The magazine is a salmon pink, and the magazine is not focused at all. This is a good thing, as even if a piece does not have its intended effect on a reader, the next piece isn t related at all, and the person has a better chance to like it. Strong…

Fortunately for Capcom, Devil May Cry 4 is absolute fire. The quality of the…

If individuals want to…
I went directly to the Against Me! Shows site, and found out that they would be hitting up Columbus Ohio a few short days from that night. Calling up my buddy Shayne, we end up going up a few hours early just to make it in time for the opening band. Not having a concrete idea of where the venue was at (all we knew was that it was on…

When I first picked up Thermidor, I was afraid that it was yet another garbage, over-elitist film zine or gore-fest. Those kids really piss me off. However, Thermidor is a great zine, owing much to a varied style of layout, with just as adventurous of a stylistic flair by Kate. Moving through politics, personal life, and movies with the greatest of ease, there honestly no weak spot to be found…

There is more than the legend of Johnny Cash that lives on. There is even more than his timeless music. There is also one of his dreams — to help build a hospital in Kenya — an idea of Reverend Jack Shaw who was one of Cash’s closest friends and spiritual advisers. On September 17, 1991, The Johnny Cash Show performed a benefit concert for that purpose at the Greater…

This magazine is 1/2 size and contains 12 pages of awesomeness .Done by Owen Wilson, this zine has been around for an ass long time.
