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…

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…

The End of the World – French Exit (CD)

After what can only be called an homage to Bright Eyes’ “Lifted”, 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…

The Good Life and II Deep – November 1st, 2003 Review @ Greencastle Indiana (JMcQ)

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 shirt”, 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.

Unstable, 22-Left, The Good Life, and II Deep – September @ Greencastle Indiana Review (JMcQ)

Remembering what a fiasco the last time that I reviewed a Greencastle band concert, I looked at this flyer wondering whether or not I should actually go with trusty notebook in hand. Just dismissing the actions of some of the bands and the individuals as an isolated happening, I trekked over to the skate park’s pavilion and expected pretty much the same style of music and the same talent level…
