Gimmicks, even in zines, suck. Having your zine open from the left instead of the right is cheesy, not clever. Given that this zine is based in Quebec (ie North America), this zine should open from the right. Now, why? Other countries and cultures open publications from the left. Yes, true Jimmy, but those cultures do not read text from left to right. Their method is fine for the way they read. In North America, people who are reading English or French text generally read from left to right, top to bottom. So, when you get to the bottom, you get to the right edge, and then you turn the page and can begin at the top on the left in a seamless continuance. Why am I making such a stink about this? Because it sucks to have to read pages backwards. And because I was not familiar with this zine, I first looked at the back (which would make a decent front page of a zine) and got all bloody confused. Don’t mess with my reality Martin! Inside you’ll find very typical band interviews (of the noise genre, in this case) and reviews of music. And a bizarre (bad bizarre) piece on flatulence. Work on the presentation, and then try again. You might be on to something, but you’ll piss off too many people if you stay your present course. (Jon Pressick)
