The second to last issue of this seminal hardcore, emo, and punk fanzine. It was created by editors who weren't satisified with other, similarly formatted music zines (so they created their own!), and now they have shifted focus away from what they believe to be an unsustainable project. The best in post hardcore, emo action, columns, ads, networking, zine and record reviews, great photographs, and good discussion based writing and community. This issue features I Object, Iron Lung, Now Denial, Free Verse, and a nice interview with our own CRISTY ROAD!

Triggering is the first word I would use to describe this zine, so be aware! This is a compilation zine of personal accounts of sexual assault. There are graphic descriptions that make my stomach turn but I also felt a sense of pride for these people being so strong and willing to share their stories. Interspersed between the stories are poems and lyrics about rape and recovery as well as a reading list. Some of the writers are not native English speakers which adds a sense of sadness to the terrorizing universal-ness of rape and abuse that happens in our world.
Several documents by these fabulous "Jane" women talking about the group's illegal activities: learning how to perform abortions, teaching themselves and others the skill, and ultimately providing abortions (and support) for thousands of women in the Chicago area. Truly impressive work that was equally risky and still relevant to learn about today.
Same content, with color cover!

In response to numerous remarks we've all heard from "patriots", Mother Jones produced a pamphlet about the radical history of the United States. Published in the early 80s, this pamphlet offers a good primer to those new to radicalism. Great for those looking to get more in touch with the radical roots of their own country or to offer a little more fuel to their future arguments. The story begins in 1620 with William Lloyd Garrison, moving along to the Philadelphia anti-slavery society, Susan B Anthony, wars against native americans, Emma Goldman, WEB DuBois, Charlie Chaplin, Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Kate Millett, Cesar Chavez, and much more. Our country may not be as conservative as one is led to believe!

The classic (maga)zine for networking in the punk community for the last twenty years. Plenty of excellent columns, rants, interviews, classifieds, reviews, and news. There's an interview with Joe about Microcosm in this issue along with The Fuse, Vakivaltaa, Modern Machines, Migra Violenta, Allegiance, Neurotic Swingers, and much more! This was a pretty exciting prospect because my friends and I used to read MRR in high school and I located new zines that way.
Portable living, portable dwelling, ruminations on the philosphical and intellectual effects and counter effects of organzing and inhabiting space; being carried away and toward other spaces. Yeah. Access to inner mobility as well.
Good stuff. Seriously. Included are more than the typical intellectual quotes and commentary, but something to inspire oneself to challenge and resist opposing forces (ya know, the status quo of predictable shapes and spheres of confinement). How to have sex with five people at once!
The classic French situationist text that exploded mind in 1966. It will no doubt hold as much relevance today and have the same affect on you. "In the world of the student, every type of social practice is controlled to the utmost degree. Shifting the entire guilty conscience about society onto students serves to mask everyone's poverty and servitude."
Sharing experiences with one another, the Boston Women's Health Book Collective discovered that there is an imperative need for women everywhere to learn together about their bodies in order to have control over them, and over their lives. This book is written by women for women to communicate excitement about the power of shared information, to assert that, in an age of professionals, women are the best experts on ourselves and our feelings, to begin the collective struggle for adequate health care.

While this zine raises more questions than answers, that is perhaps the best way to address this large, scoping issue that affects us all and certainly needs a better microphone lifted to it in every subculture.
