About Me

Issue six has interviews with Cloudberry Records and Unpopular Records, titles for mixtapes I have yet to make, (and the tracklist for one I have in fact already made) and reviews, some written by me and some not! ($2 US/Canada, $2.50 elsewhere)Issue five has an interview with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and California Snow Story, some pictures, an article about Grimsey written by Krister Bladh, more mixtapes I really ought to make, reviews, and tons more you'll probably like. 22 pages, $2 for US $2.50 elsewhere ISSUES FOUR AND FIVE NOW SOLD OUT Issue four's got interviews with WeePOP! Records, Watoo Watoo, and A Candlelight Vigil. It also has a picture that actually came from the first zine I ever tried to make, reviews, a bit about my first ever trip to Europe, with subway maps and everything! The cpver is my favorite yet, and it took me forever to draw. This issue's 26 pages, half-sized, and it's the biggest one yet! It's also $2 for the US/canada and $2.50 everywhere else.Issue three's got an interview with A Smile And A Ribbon, an article on a Japanese grocery, lots of reviews, and a lot more! It's 22 pgs, 1/2 size. This issue's $2.00 for the US/Canada, and $2.50 everywhere else. If you want one, send money on paypal to batselke (at) bellsouth.net. I love to do trades, either zines or music or whatever. Email me (same address) if you want to trade or mail money. Thanks!Issue two is now officially sold out! It had interviews with Tender Trap, Happy Happy Birthday To Me, and Camera Shy, plus some reviews, and stories about mixtapes and concerts. It's 22 pages, half-sized.Issue 1 had a comic, stuff found from the thrift store, reviews, an interview with Tullycraft and a ton more! It's 18 pages. I'm all sold out now of issue one.
