Motion Picture Demise – Zip.Boom.Hah. (CD)

Genre-wise I feel like Motion Picture Demise is kind of all over the board. “Zip. Boom. Hah.” leaves me feeling a little lost as to a genre to tag on them. Mostly, their music is a solid time investment; I think all can find at least one song on here that touches on their style of choice. My largest criticism is to cut the song length down a bit, by…

Stranger – one shot

Now, this will be one of the shortest reviews I’ve done, as about 95% of this zine is just blankness. However, the editor of this magazine has an affinity for late-1800’s drawings for products, and seemingly unrelated pieces of writing, such as a description of someone being called about a eclipse. A German (I think) worksheet is includes, and a stream-of-consciousness poem adorns the page adjacent. The zine is one…

Straint #3

You know, I was curious on what the term Straint actually was, so I decided that I would go look it up. It means nothing in the dictionary that I tried to look it up in. Oh well. The zine seems pretty normal, even a little bit boring from the front cover, but it is truly what is inside that counts for this magazine. By far, one of the funniest…

Starlit Fireball #5

Another of the excellent issues of this magazine by Brittanie McBride. I’ve really noticed that with each passing issue, the zine has became more and more professional and endearing. This is not to say that it was not endearing at the first, but I’ve really noticed Brittanie coming into her stride. The pinnacle of this issue, however, has to be the short story “Torn”, in which a homeless girl meets…
