The Joy of Cooking Humans |
|
Written by Aaron Cynic
|
If, like many people, the idea of the living dead walking the Earth isn't a question of "if," but a question of "when," you're going to need the proper tools to help you get by when you eventually end up losing your frontal lobe. Thankfully, Natalie Slater of Bake and Destroy has brought us The Joy of Cooking Humans.

A Manifesti of Radical Literature |
|
Written by Anne Elizabeth Moore
|
The Manifesti of Radical Literature is a 56-page anarchist style guide for cultural producers, with chapters on such foundational political acts as throwing away one's dictionary, creating one's own system of punctuation, and refusing to abide by the language imposed upon us by corporate entities. Also, it is funny and of a pleasing form and light heft, perfect for spiriting away in one's back pocket for an evening of street stenciling or shopdropping.

Get 'Em While They're Young |
|
Written by Aaron Cynic
|
During the 1988 presidential election, I was in middle school. Back then, I did what all good children do during an election - I voted in the mock election for the same guy my parents were voting for. Well, at least, the candidate my mom was voting for. She swayed me by reminding me I went to a Catholic school and good Catholics were voting for Bush the elder because he was pro-life. My dad on the other hand just couldn't sway me for Dukakis. In fact, I don't think anyone could find him warm and fuzzy after that shot in the tank.

Punk and Beans - An Interview |
|
Written by Aaron Cynic
|
Whenever my mp3 adapter in my car breaks, I'm forced to turn the dials over and over to find something I can tolerate listening to. With every FCC approved media merger, content options on the radio seem smaller than ever. The best I can do is the local "alternative rock" station or maybe NPR. Thankfully, the Internet birthed its own form of radio. While the RIAA and major corporations play catch up with downloaded music and big radio plays more and more of the same songs, people are increasingly turning to streaming audio over iTunes, Windows Media Player, and many other websites.
Creating an Internet radio station can be done simply and easily, with a limited amount of equipment and technical knowledge. A couple old friends of mine got together and created a station they call "Punk and Beans Radio," based out of a house in Manhattan, IL. I sat down with Steve, one of the creators of the station, for a few minutes to talk about the show.

SKA House and the Virginity Dress |
|
Written by Alexis Stewart (Rhododendron Reader) on December 30, 2007
|
She looked delighted to see me as I lifted garbage bag after garbage bag out of the trunk of my uncle?s van. She descended on the bags like a locust and ripped them open. I tried not to give a shit, but it was to no avail.
I had just spent Thanksgiving moving the last of my possessions out of my mom?s place. Her tiny two-bedroom apartment was being slowly encompassed by her collection of cats, so she and her felines decided to move to a nice chunk of family property in the country. Luckily this was during my brief Zen anarchist phase. I decided to bag up all my possessions that didn?t serve some sort of sentimental value and let Our Lady of Seventies Thrift Stores deal with it. I thought I could get rid of my old life quietly and slip into oblivion without anyone from my high school class noticing. |

As reported in the Goat and other publications, the oceans are getting more acidic, the ice caps are melting, the weather patterns are changing threatening agriculture across the globe, and everything connected with Man is about to come to a terrible crash between the years 2025 and 2050. We?re seeing the trouble in Africa, where war and water shortages are moving hand in hand, in Australia currently going through the worse drought they?ve experienced in a thousand years, in Asia, North and South America rivers dependent upon glaciers are going to be running dry.

Written by Emerson Dameron

Not terribly long ago, Aaron was going through some of the zines in his collection and stumbled upon this fabulous mini-zine by Emerson Dameron. Mortality was written in 2004, possibly at the Allied Media Conference in Bowling Green Ohio. Many copies were made and given out, but it has long since been out of print. We are happy and proud to make it available for download.
Keep your eyes open for a few more downloadable PDF zines! |
