LA LANGOUSTE #8 (2 francs from Model-Peltex, 3 Rue des couples, 67000 Strasbourg, FRANCE): A couple of IRCs or a trade wouldn’t hurt if you can’t get francs where you are. This is sort of a miniature European FACTSHEET FIVE, with a dozen or two zine reviews, music reviews, mail-art show announcements, and more. The graphics are very nice and there’s an interview with someone from Rock Express.

POPPIN’ ZITS #1 ($1.39 from Jerod Pore, 495 Ellis St. #954, San Francisco, CA 94102): PZ defies categorization, so let me start by saying that you ought to get a copy. That done, this issue contains assorted conspiracy theories, cyberpunk fiction, selections from a database of mass media curiosities, reviews of various audio, video, and printed matters, and great collage-and-computer layouts. And Jerod is even proposing to PAY for accepted submissions (but don’t send poetry). A great piece ripped from the corner of underground culture.
