So after Brianne and I failed miserably at distributing our last zine (Broken Glass part deux), we have decided to give it another stab, probably under a new name and with a slightly different approach... being that we are a little (note: little) older and wiser now.
I have been pretty in touch with my DIY side lately, and Brianne and I did have a lot of fun with Broken Glass while it lasted... I plan on running the 3 band interviews we did which never saw the light of day.
Anyway, here's a taste of the last issue, it gives you a sense of our curmudgeonly existences:
RATING RANDOM THINGS
Leg warmers on LA chicks: C- (This trend is bound to wear itself out very soon, just as it did in the 80’s. But you probably don’t remember, because you are 4.)
Boba drinks: A+ (You actually eat as you drink, doubling your productivity.)
English accents: A+ (Will this trend please pick up? American accents suck.)
Cell phones: B: (They’re okay, but must one’s social life follow them to the grocery store? Plus they give you brain tumors… I’ve never had one before, but I imagine it doesn’t feel good.)
Veganism: B (This is only good if you aren’t trying to be a pretentious dick, and actually care about animals and not your social standings. Also, when you notice you have a bloated belly due to malnutrition, it might be time to break out the dairy.)
Arrogance: F (Do I need to go into detail, really?? Okay, okay, for the daft…arrogant people suck because they are tense all of the time, and miss out meeting some really rad people because they are too busy looking “cool”.
Making things: A+ (Making things can be fun…even homemade pornography…especially homemade pornography.)
Blur’s new album Think Tank: A+ (A great album, a great band…you can’t lose.)
Black a-line bob haircuts- D- (This trend is tragically overdone…and it’s starting to look really outdated.)
Staring into someone’s eyes like you are peering into their soul, hoping they might fall desperately in love with you.: F (This never works, it just makes you seem needy and weird. The other person is probably thinking “meow meow meow meow meow meow”, and you’re thinking “We will fall in love and have many babies”.)
