Lou Reeder / You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory split-zine
by Corrina Fastwolf and Matt Monochrome

A chance conversation while out on a record shopping expedition
birthed this split-zine, wherein memories of Lou Reed fandom (circa
Berlin no less!) segue gracefully into a tale of high school
misfits trying to turn a whole school onto the Violent Femmes.

(Micro) Zine Of The Week: In Every Town

In Every Town:
An All-Ages Munsic Manualfesto

More polished than a zine, this is less a manifesto and more a step-by-step handbook to running a noncommercial music venue where you live. Thought provoking and practical, In Every Town is the successor to MRR’s Book Your Own F**king Life.

(Micro) Zine Of The Week: Blues Real Bad

Blues Real Bad
by Kevin Singles

Kevin Singles crafts a gorgeougly rendered, barely-fictionalized take on the myth of Robert Johnson. Weaving together narratives and cinematic jumpcuts, we see the lengths a guitar player will go to really play the blues. And what it costs.

(Micro) Zine Of The Week: A Very Kraftwerk Summer

In the spirit of Stand By Me, Chris Hutsul remembers a (fake) youthful summer spent in the company of the man-machines of new wave: Kraftwerk! Whether at the arcade or the mall, Kraftwerk were the perfect summer best friends. Pure delight.

(Micro) Zine Of The Week: The Prince Zine

The Prince Zine by Joshu James Amberson

Amberson (Basic Paper Airplane) gamely takes on the pop music enigma Prince with this one-off zine. Will he be able to accomplish what it took Ronin Ro 370 pages to do in HIS Prince book? Surprisingly yes. Great for novices and obsessives.
