Filler #1 ? Finally, a magazine that really lives up to this title. The “Filler” in the eponymous zine really is of the highest quality, specifically “A Burning Question?” which details a worker from the Lipton Tea Factory?s descent into madness, which was triggered by drinking the enemy, coffee. A piece from the editor, Faith Holland, is chock full of the same sentiment that you would find in something like…
Available from Luaka Bop May 13th 2008                                Continuing the trilogy of The Plus 2’s, Moreno/Domenico/Kassin+2, Futurismo nimbly threads the lyricism and playfulness of its predecessors Music Typewriter (2001) and Sincerely Hot (2004).
