Pulp Bizarro #1 / #1 / :30 / 36M / http://www.pulpbizarro.com / It looks, from a cursory glance at Pulp Bizarro’s web site, that there has been little updated since April of 2007.

I know that I have done shirts, and printed shirts, in the past.NeuFutur had a shirt out that was sharp blue, with a red print, that said about how Ohio was a Republican state. There are sites that offer Wholesale T-Shirt Printing for a good price, but these prices wildly vary depending on the color, style, and heaviness of the shirt that is used, along with the number of colors…
The Bleep Subway Comic / $1.50 / :05 / 17M / 2004 Blaire Miltenberger / janes_freak@yahoo.com / Another grab from Slacker in Pittsburgh; for a $1.50 comic, there are a lot of features (spiral-bound, full color). Anyways, The Bleep Subway Comic is a computer-generated comic about Bleep, a round figure that looks similar to Glop and Gleep, albeit with a Mohawk, red hoodie, and book bag. The style of art…

Midnight Oil – Diesel and Dust Deluxe Edition / 2008 Sony / 25 Tracks / http://www.midnightoil.com / http://www.sonybmg.com / I remember back in the mid to late nineties, when I heard “Beds are Burning†for the first time.

This go around, the art is sharper, the text smaller (meaning much more in the way of reading), and the shameless promoting of the bands that they work with seems less prevalent than…
I know that a long time back, I used to play Vampire: The Masquerade. One of the clans in this RPG (role playing game) was the Brujah. The reason why this is relevant at all is that the title of Tim Madden’s new book – The Bruja’s Tale – is similar to that of the Brujah clan. Tim Madden’s Homepage provides individuals with an insight into the work, which deals…

I know that I have had to upgrade my ram a few times in this old workhorse of a computer. First it was DDR 1 ram, which I was stick with because I was too dumb to go forth and buy a DDR 2 RAM – compatible motherboard. Now, I’m still behind the times, and DDR 3 is rapidly becoming the standard. There are web sites out there right now…
They’re called One Flew South, but Royal Reed, Chris Roberts and Eddie Bush, whose debut album is appropriately titled Last of the Good Guys, actually had to fly north to launch their career. A Decca Records conference room, three voices and 20 minutes were all that was required to land the group a recording deal. Now, nearly eight months later the vocal group, who worked with some of music’s most…

Jinxremoving #11 / $2 / 44M / http://www.jinxremoving.org / http://www.loopdistro.com / Jinxremoving is a comic zine, and Arpad (the author) is able to establish a very iconic, cat-human type of character as the focal point of this issue. I must admit, I am largely confused by this issue. While there is a note at the beginning of the magazine that says “The characters in this comic book are avatars that…
