New Review of Zine and D-I-Y DVD and Music Video: The Recidivist DVD and 'Riding on the Rails' Zine.
Listen to the long detailed podcast review below.
Quick Summary.
I rate items received on a scale of 1-10 Clean Socks with 1 Sock being not-the-best (as it often is the case when you only have one clean sock and the other one is lost or dirty, smelly and crusty and the rest of your socks have already been reused so many times that you would rather go barefoot in winter) and 10 Clean Socks being the very, very best situation because it means you get the clean fluffy blackmanfluff (ahhhhh...I think) feeling because you just did the laundry and have 10 fresh days of clean socks at hand and if you recycle you have 20 days of almost clean socks if you don't feel like doing the wash after the 10 days.
Summary review of The Zine 'Riding on Rails'
6 Clean socks for Illustrationsn by Ethan Young - http://youngillustrations.com
Only 2 pages of hand drawn illustrations but they were a very good two pages. if there was more art he would've got a 10.
9 Clean Socks. for the zine layout by Sarah Kriley. She gave a Website address with nasty corporate ads flashing so that can't ever get a 10.
Good layout though. Full color $50 NY subway ticket on front and back for playing music on the train. Very cool and original. Not even a title on front. $100 court judgment inside. Artwork included. Photos. Rock solid 9 clean socks job of layout.
10 Clean Socks for Editing by TLE. No crazy ass typos throughout the whole damn thing (which is how I do my thing actually! *happy laughter* I'm all about typos!). Makes reading it very smooth.
5 Clean socks for James who told the story in the Zine I take it. Not so interesting a story, sorry. You get 3 clean socks for including one of my favorite songs for sure though. But you've got a great layout, editing and art team on your hands. Keep that team and you've got nothing but goodness in your future, homey!
In the future send the form found at www.freerentcommunity.org so I can tell people where to get your stuff. I will not ever type all that stuff out. Sorry. Better for you and me due to all my typos! *happy laughter* :)
Their email address is ghstsnguitars@gmail.com - I had to triple check that email.
