MISCELLANEOUS - Part 1
%Title: 93.5 Issue 5
%Descr: The Maestro is trying to taunt me with my desires to
classify zines. His zine has too much media comentay to make
it a personal zine but not enought Scienc Fiction news to
make it a SFanzine. It is quite engaging falling into that
SciFi/personal ambiguous space.
In issue #5 he tells us about having fun at the Mt. Angel
Oktoberfest, what's been going on with the John Larroquette Show,
more strage phrases heard on cable TV, and lots of misc.
ramblings.

%Title: ARG CATA-ZINE: Letters Issue 4 Nov. '93
%Descr: Ashley seems to have abandoned the catalog listings in her
"cata-zine" and just keep the zine stuff. That's fine by me
as her latest "zine" letters, essays, comentary, and lots of
thought-provoking ideas.
There's an interesting essay proposing a centralized knowlege
bank containg electroic searchable copies of every book. Also
letters from Bob *(Bad Newz)* Z., a person living in Sarajevo,
Geoffrey Cook about developing urban communes, and many people
commenting on what they think is the most important social issue.

%Title: ALADDIN'S WINDOW: The Vision of Awakened Men Issue 12
%Descr: A men's liberations zine covering men's enlightenment, men's
studies, and men's rights with personal experiences and
comentary. It's a hefty read with some big names in the
underground/zine community.
Getting bigger all the time, it's up to 100 pages now. Just some
hightlights: Bob Black's responce to Molly Tov (and a responce by
Lorranie Schein and a retort by Bob again), the scam of marriage,
the economics of the anti-porn movement, the hazards of being
male, the cult of marriage, the myth of pariarchy, and the
morality of women.
Many strong (and not very PC) opinions here -- so you've been
warned.

%Title: ALPHABET THREAT: Face the threat Issue 6
%Descr: A great local (California) political freebie with lots of
juicy stuff. "Political" as in the politics of sex, the
politics of punk, the politics of bicycles, the politics of
food. All the fun stuff
There's a great (although somewhat dated) piece on how the Feds
have fucked with the underground press, stories about appling for
government assistance, reasons why bikes are cool, tales about
co-operative experiences, getting an AIDS test, faking orgasms,
male impotence, and masturbation.
They keep on changing the name so for simplicity's sake (and also
cuz it bugs me) I'll just list it under it's original name.
Definitely worth checking out.

%Title: ALTER OR ABOLISH: The chronicle of the Second Amendment
revolution
%Descr: Issue 13
Formerly, *The Urine Nation News* changed their name to
coincide with their larger format and more political
emphasis. News of our dwindling constitutional rights and
people's lives distroyed for posession of miniscule amounts
of recreational substances. I guess those days are back.
News of the FDA's "war on health," how drug prohibition causes
abuses, details of the Crime Control Act of 1993, an intro to
fully informed juries, some interesting facts on the Waco attack,
the success of UrinAid powdered urine, and most importantly, four
ways to pass a urine test. I liked this new format. Lots of news
for non-users.
Oh, but Clinton didn't inhale.

%Title: ALTERNATIVE PRESS REVIEW: Your Guide Beyond the Mainstream
Issue 2
%Descr: Winter '94
*Unte Reader* meet the real alternative press, it's called
*Alternative Press Review*. Those busy people producing
*Anarchy* have branched out with a magazine for people
interested in the alternative press. When I first restarted
*Factsheet Five* I wanted to reprint signifigant articles
from the zines I've come across. *APR* does just that, in
addition to original articles, magazine industry news, and
tons of reviews.
Even thought I read thousands of magazines I don't usually feel
connected to the publisher's philosophy. To be completely honest
I'm not all that interested hearing everone's personal opininion
on Lollapalooza. Reading this most excellent second issue
reafirms my faith in the underground. It really gives me the
feeling that I'm connected to something bigger then just a bunch
of Primus fans. This issue starts off with big articles about two
of my distributors. We get Ramsey Kanaan of AK Distributon ramble
and rant as only he can. He truly one driven individual. Jason
also stopped off in Austin to hang with Chris Parkman and all the
fine folks at Fine Print. This piece is more then just an
interview, Jason talked with many people there and wrote up five
pages with matching photographs. I also get to find out about the
misterious Alternative Reading Room in Asheville, NC and the
Subspace zine show at Iowa City. Reprints include Bill Clinton's
embracing of secret elite groups from the excellent *NameBase
NewsLine*, Gen-x marketing from *The Baffler*, the politics of
rap music from *Race & Class*, televangelists from *Mesechabe*,
the queer movement from *Gayme,* eco-fascism from *Turning the
Tide*, the psychiatric industry from the defunct *Frontier
Report*, and another John Zerzan piece.
If you're a disalusioned *Unte* Reader or an *Factsheet* Fanatic
looking for something meatier, then this is for you.

A list of fun (800) numbers, Safety Pup comics, a comic tribute
to the Melvins, sex punk comics, a Schenectady scene report, punk
rock memories, shitty job stories, and an interview with Christ

%Title: ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN CLIP ART Issue 3 August '93
%Descr: Spencer (who also does *Spline*) has been compiling these
nifty collections of Anti-Authoritarian/Anarchist clip art
and is now on his third collection. I'm not sure if he draws
any of it or if he just collects it from other sources but
it's a great collection, and quite useful too.
He starts off with an essay explaining his trasformation from an
anarchist to an anti-authoritarian. But the highlight here are
the graphics. I recognize many of these images from *The Shadow,
Wind Chill Factor,* and other places. Flying bottles, united
people, abortion choice, smashing racism, and military violence.
Perfect for all you struggling anarchist zinesters looking for
some graphics or any night time sticker demons needing new images
for xeroxing onto sticker paper.

212-255-2748) where people can call and listen to anonymous
messages of people making secular confessions. The callers
are also invited to make their own private confessions for
any self-percieved misdeeds.
Mr. Apology is not running out of material. If anything the
magazine seems to be getting more intense as it continues
publishing. More material from serial killers and others living
on the fringes of our society. Ritchie is back and he explains
the sexual energy he gets from killing, an undentified man
related the details of an semi-accidental death resulting from
some seriously violent sex, Jim told us why he killed his mother,
we learn why Ted likes to molest black children, Dick of Death
part three, and more stories about pets.

%Title: CONFERENCE OF ANGRY POSTAL WORKER Issue 2 Cold 93/94
%Descr: Instead of blood-drenched, bullet-holled pages of
schizophrenic rants we get a serious, slightly quiet,
litmag. Not bad, actually quite good, stories and poems
written by disgruntled postal workers from around the
country.
The best part here isn't even part of the zine. James enclosed an
envelope with three "editorials" that sound like they should have
been on the first few pages of the zine. A story about street
people, showing your zine to your grandmother, and my favorate,
ugly New York Summer street fairs. Inside the zine we get short
stories by Alice Stephens, and William Pittman and a review of
Bukowski's *Post Office.*

Politics
%Descr: Issue 5
This is the fifth B.A.D. press publication, not to be
confused with their accational *B.A.D. Broadsides.*
Joe Peacot has been writing his radical opinions about AIDS for
several years but this is a sort of compendium/update of his
work. He claims the heterosexual trasmsission rate is much
smaller the media would have us think, while the IV trasmission
rate is much higher. It's a thick pamphlet filled with statistics
and graphs to back up his ideas. Certainly worthwhile especially
considering his previous writings and anarchist perspective.

from Dreamland. It's more surreal than you can imagine.

President Clinton is commanding the starship Enterprise, which
has had problems due to a new mail protocol. Hillary is confused
by Adobe Photoshop and various famous dogs. And both Bill & Hil
are staring in a new exercise video. Meanwhile, Ingrid Bergman
was trapped by a motorcycle gang lead by Stephen Hawking, and
Frank Sinatra has resurrected Esso, saying, "It's the only brand
of gasoline I could ever drink." This just in: "Scientists have
determined that when people sleep, they enter a new multi-level
garage. Sleepers begin at ground level and move up or down
depending on the content of their dreams. Some choose a
permanent parking space while others roam continually, searching
for the perfect spot. Recently, some sleepers have been mugged
in their sleep in the garage."
"Dreams are the only truth."

of Office Supplies, and the Cult of PETA, and the Cult of Star
Trek: The Next Generation, and the Cult of Blue Oysters, and the
Cult of Aleister Crowley, and the Cult of Reverend Moon. Sure,
anyone can make fun of Moonies, but _Flatter!_ publishes actual
letters from someone who went to one of the 'dinners' and, in a
little more than a year, was going door to door to raise bail
money for the Rev. It's a fascinating study in someone's life
being sucked out of them. Then there's the utter *lust* Jania
and Lisa Carver have for various Star Trek characters, especially
the Sex God himself, Lt. Cmdr. Data. We also learn, from another
insider, the cult-like aspect of PETA.

%Descr: When editor Barry Hoffman tackles a subject he goes from one
end of the spectrum to the other. He's been doing an
excellent job of exploring free exression and censorship
while focusing on a specific theme each issue.
This issue's focus on Black racism I found to be the least
interesting for myself. I guess I'm just tired of the subject and
prefer to focus on other areas. I really like the three articles
about how the religous right is grabbing power through elections
across the country. There's also an excellent collection of
articles exploring pornography and censorship (with some
first-hand reports). We also get the inside story on *On Our
Backs* printer trouble, Michael Medved's offensively ignorant
piece about the "gay agenda," the inside story of Brownie Mary, a
defence of Mike Tyson, an update on Mike Diana's court case, and
Jon Longhi excellent report on California's attempt to tax the
work of Paul Mavrides' artwork.

%Title: HATE THOSE JAYS: For those who can't help but disaprove of
Toronto's
%Descr: franchise Issue 2
A pretty funny zine full of reasons for hating the Jays,
their fans, and each individual player. Even funnier when
you consider that this comes from Canada where you'd expect
them to get unending support.
They mostly talk about how their success has destroyed the
original spirit and traditions, a game-by-game review of the
World Series, the sins of Wayne Gretzky, things overheard at the
Jay's celebration parade, and a Jay's crossword puzzle.

%Title: JOURNAL OF UNCONVENTIONAL HISTORY Volume 5 Issue 1 Fall,
1993
%Descr: A really, *really* great zine, if you're interested in
history. Not the big stuff that we alledgedly learned in
school, but the little stuff, the obscure stuff, the equally
valid stuff that you're unlikely to learn about anywhere
else. This isn't the secret history of the conspiracy
theorist, nor the latest calls for revisions of accepted
history. No, _Journal of Unconventional History_ is oddball
history that was conviently forgotten for sundry reasons.
The first article of this issue illustrates just how delightful
this zine is. An autobiography composed of exerpts from various
letters, the story of Ervin Bonkalo, just your average PhD
refugee from the Communist regime of Hungary, with six or seven
degrees in a variety of disciplines who pressed pants in Canada.
It's a personal, is somewhat screwy look at the refugee
experience of the prior two generations. Volume 4, issue 3 had a
fascinating article on the FBI's investigation of Stan Laurel and
Oliver Hardy for the heinous crime of making an very bad
anti-authoritarian movie. The author's search through the
labyrinthine process of getting FOIA documents, still heavily
censored, is one of the best insights into our Soviet-style
burreaucracy.
Forget that bogus history we were taught in school, this is the
real stuff.

%Title: LADIES' FETISH AND TABOO SOCIETY: Compendium of Urban
Anthropology
%Descr: Volume 6 Issue 4 Winter 93/94
Random weird, or maybe it's all *planned weird* ya know, as
it applies to the loyal and growing devotees of the Society.
Reported with detailed footnotes.
Seems like everybody went to the Burning Man or World Con last
labor day. And on the Society's expedition to the Event was
frought with the (un)usual Obstacles, Coincidences and Just Plain
Weirdness. "Our first moments on the salt flat resounded with
the sledgehammer of serendipity. We parked our vehicles on the
outskirts of the designated Quiet Zone. In the amount of time
that it took us to step out and turn around, a car pulled up.
Out stepped the one S.F. Cacophony Society member whom I had
actually met - Michael Michael, the man who sent me Baby Jesus.
He handed over that day's edtion of the _Black Rock Gazette_,
which was actually being *published* in the desert. The first
thing I saw in it was a quote from me." Plus the invention of
the thigh harness, the continuing adventures of Baby Jesus. "A
man lunged at her [Val] and announced that 'Jesus was coming!
Chapter 7 of Revelations says so!' Her first reaction was to
blurt back, 'No, he's not; he's in the trunk of a Volvo in
Houston.'" And the always amusing features, Log O'Omens (now
called Mythos As Lifestyle), Notes From the High Seas of
Androgyny and Ambiguity, Random Weird and very entertaining
letters.
