Negative Capability

This is a thoroughly enjoyable romp through the obsessive meandering of a pop-culture junkie. There’s so much material, it could easily fit in a zine twice the size. The letters and review pages are in themselves bigger than a lot of other zines. The pop quiz alone is a thing of wonder. The magazine invites readers to participate for cool prizes, which for a zine is pretty noteworthy, but the answers to last issue’s quiz combined with new questions runs an astounding 8 pages. A review of a Cornelius and Robyn Hitchcock concert runs 6 pages and the amazing thing is that it never once lapses into boredom. This is a zine you can keep picking up and reading for a month. (DF)
