ABSURD VALLEY #1 (April 2006)
This is really exciting because it's the first issue of a new zine from Sarnia, ON, my hometown. It's got a sweet cut/paste style to it with sketches throughout, interesting photos, etc... Content-wise, it's got a lot of personal perspectives on issues, writings about shows, and reviews of music, books, and zines. This is a pretty sweet debut issue.

ABSURD VALLEY #2 (June 2006)
The second issue of ABSURD VALLEY comes hot on the heels of the first issue released in April. This one has a similar cut/paste layout and writings about hardcore punk music and scene, and more general issues. To break it down, there�s a top-10 list, writings about the value of zines, strange occurrences, a closer look at what constitutes �hardcore� and how played-out the various �core�s are, dumb kids wrecking venues, and a lot more. Interesting ideas in terms of approach to layout. I�m excited to see what comes next.

ADELINE #1 (Fall 2006)
This is the first issue of a new personal zine done by Sarnia�s infamous Sunday. �I�m writing the insignificant thoughts and memories from my life because I think these are the things that are really interesting about people� there�s something revolutionary in giving away your secrets to strangers.� The zine does a pretty good job of delivering this with a lot of personal stories written about Sunday�s memories (many of which involve trees), and a lot of them have some sort of philosophical relevance. There�s also some reflection upon Sunday�s involvement in the Chemical Valley punk scene, the shifting of collective mindsets and change, both personal and on a community level. I�m interested to read more.

BORN 20 YEARS TOO LATE #7 (Oct 2006)
Jo seems to have made the switch to full size and it makes me jealous because I've always wondered what it would be like to switch and have more space to make layout more interesting. ANYWAY, I dig it, this issue looks pretty cool. It has interviews with people who were in ALTERNATIVE ATTACK (UK), DESTRUCTORS/ENGLISH DOGS/(THE PRODIGY) (UK), THE LEGION OF PARASITES (UK), and LEBENDEN TOTEN (USA), and with bands that are currently around: ARMAGEDOM (Brazil), and ACROSTIX (Japan). The interviews are all interesting, however, I must admit the interviews with the old Brit-punk folks are really interesting. I never knew the guitar player from PRODIGY was also in the DESTRUCTORS. ARMAGEDOM was a cool interview as well. I'd like to hear them. I thought the review section could have been more enjoyable to look at, however, the rest of the layout looks rad, and punk as fuck. Excited for next issue.

FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES
"This free paper discusses, in simple language, what is anarchist in everyday life, and how those spheres of cooperation can be expanded. It addresses common questions that often deter people from exploring anarchist ideas and approaches, and endeavors to help introduce new terms and possibilities into the public consciousness�as well as to celebrate the times when we�ve realized those possibilities, for those who have been consciously participating in the anarchist project for years or decades already."

FREE SOCIETY #11 (Summer 2001)
This is a pretty decent issue of my zine, although I must say it feels mighty dated seven years later. Its natural to feel strange about the voice of your younger self sometimes though I think. International activist/anarchist news and events, music/zine/book/show reviews, personal writings, opinion, creative writing, stuff about my far removed reaction to the Quebec City protests, writings about other protests against circus' and more. Interviews with Jeff Ott (of bands SAG, CRIMPSHRINE, EAST BAY MUD, PHALLUSCIDE, and FIFTEEN, and the zine 'My World'). and Stza of LEFTOVER CRACK.

FREE SOCIETY #16 (Summer 2005)
Top-10 list, Spacement Records releases spotlight, "Your Shitty Band" Demos Review section, writings about punk rock getaways, religion, DIY, DIOFEST (2-day event in Sarnia), animal liberation, skateboarding, random rants, a little bit of emo venting, etc... Art by Scumbag.
The zine is two-sided (hence my two page counts listed. The other side is a large collection of Zapatista communiques because there was the beginning of some large developments at the time with their struggle, and connecting it with the struggle of all dispossessed peoples in the world. Important stuff. Check out 'A New World In Our Hearts', a book of writings of the Love and Rage collective for an understanding of the Zapatista approach and terminology like 'dual power'. Pretty tight. |

IF DEATH COMES #3
IF DEATH COMES is a personal/travel style zine done by Todi of EVICTION PARTY. Stories about hitchhiking, sleeping outside and reflections on these experiences and the people encountered along the way. Beneath it all is this bummed-out feeling of a broken heart, but a constant reminder that this isn’t the case at the time of the zine’s completion. One of my favourite parts is in ‘Toronto, The Good Toronto’ where Todi talks about staying at “Famous Cousin’s” place and playing on rusty lowrider bikes and taking merch of shitty bands “Famous Cousin” manages. In my mind I speculate about who “Famous Cousin” could be. I also liked the bit in ‘Around Again’ about the person comparing a missing tooth to a whiny ex-boyfriend, and Todi relating to the missing tooth. I thought it was cool how Todi would describe an atmosphere that brought up a memory, or thought about his life seemingly disconnected, but connected well through the story. An example of this is in ’17 North’: “There are so many shut-down and abandoned motels along this highway, you could drive past them forever, and still be in Ontario.” Then shortly afterwards it transitions into him thinking about his mother apologizing to him for her mistakes in raising him. The zine ends on the bummed-out note underlying the whole thing combined with indecision and feelings of placelessness.

IF DEATH COMES #5
This issue, although including some travel writings, mostly focuses on the internal – dreams and emotional writings about the author’s state of mind. This definitely seems like it was written more for the author’s own ventilation. I think it’s a collection of journals. Somewhat cryptic. Makes me curious about the details.

MAN IN VAN #1 (July 2006)
This zine was started as a project for an English class by Matt�Chew� from Sarnia. It starts with a writing about the phenomena of downloading music. It�s somewhat of a discussion of the origin of the debate on the morality of this practice, as well as the author�s own opinions about doing it. Then there�s some reviews and discussions of some releases, especially NORMA JEAN and this record label called DEBELLO. There are also writings about Art Walk 2006 in Sarnia, and more writings about bands that the Chew is into. There�s also a sweet add at the end for the newest SARNIA release with rad tag lettering. The layout is cut/paste with cool collage-esque photo sections. This is decent for a first issue and the second issue looks even better.

There's also some stuff about gardening, including a little primer on saving seeds. Plus there's sort of some meandering thoughts about the reason for my long hiatus from zining." - Matt's webstore.

ROLLING THUNDER #4 (Spring 2007)
"The fourth and best yet issue of Rolling Thunder! The centerpiece of this one is a full-color photoessay chronicling the popular uprising during which the people of Oaxaca, Mexico wrested control of their city from the government for a period of months. Continuing that theme, other feature articles cover the defense and eviction of South Central Farm in Los Angeles, the Really Really Free Market as a model for reclaiming public space from capitalism and bureaucracy, the resurgence of squatting in Buffalo of all places, the university occupation movement in France, and the ins and outs of urban exploration. The remainder of the issue includes a comprehensive guide to supporting prisoners and defendants, the lyrics to �The Big Rock Candy Mountain� as interpreted by acclaimed comic artist Nate Powell, a gallery of ready-to-use stencils, and plenty of the edgy artwork and poignant prose you�ve come to expect. Still 100% ad-free." - Crimethinc

RUN WITH SCISSORS#1
RUN WITH SCISSORS was an enjoyable read. It consisted mostly of short reflections and the stories about Starla’s life that brought them on. The style is photocopied/cut/paste, shrunken lined-paper with awesome cut out illustrations. The stories were diverse in focus (not just revolving around the travelling, punk lifestyle, although some did) and Starla has an amusing delivery for most of them. The reflections did often revolve around escaping the chains of society – rent, employment, and resulting in escaping from a certain degree of stability. My favourite stories in this include: ‘Meaford’, ‘Only Cops Ring Doorbells’, and ‘Home’. The last made me think of my own relationship with “home”. There’s this hilarious drawing of a mouse and it says “Attention mice: Please stop pooping on the counter tops and dishes. Thanks – Management”. Mice love to defile cutlery with their little turds. BROKEN PENCIL gave this a terrible review. The reviewer talked about punk cliches and pointlessness and even suggested that some of the anti-work artwork was insincere or bullshit. For me, this zine met my own criteria for what constitutes a decent punk personal zine. The zine communicates a lifestyle and philosophy and lets people know they’re not alone, which punks can relate to. “Fuck work” can never be said too many times. Fuck it! FUCK IT! .

THE WORLD IS MY FUSE #1 (Summer 2006)
This is the first issue of a zine started by my good friend Annette and it presents her views about the fucked up things of this world - most of which are presented in the way they affect her directly as well as society. There are writings about violence and disrespect amongst our own circle of friends, sexism, television, the importance of lyrics, self-image, 'money and menstruation', animal liberation, and some poetry and cool artwork, as well as much more. One of the coolest writings is 'Whose Eyes are These?' which is an idea that we've discussed in conversation before and it blew my mind... like I'd never considered it. Basically she points out that the way we perceive things has already been manipulated by other forces. Money from this was donated to an elephant sanctuary. Buy it up.

THE WORLD IS MY FUSE #2 (Spring 2007)
This is the second issue of the a zine done by my good friend Annette and it carries on in the same vein as the first with writings about the issues that are closest to her heart and the things that piss her off. On top of that this issue communicates a lot of frustration. In terms of the contents there are writings on: �the unavoidable process� (as CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE would call it) of school, work, marriage, children, etc�, police, travelling and fear of stagnancy, words and their different meanings, loving and hating someone, dilemmas related to companion animals, sexual harassment and potential rapists, PETA�s fucked up advertizements, the portrayal of women in the media, the PROPAGANDHI show we both went to last October, racism and becoming vegan. The writings are thoughtful and critical. The proceeds from this issue will be sent to a Farm Sanctuary for farm animals. The last issue raised $60 for an elephant sanctuary.

THE WORLD IS MY FUSE #3 (Spring 2008)
This is the third issue of THE WORLD IS MY FUSE, a zine done by my good friend Annette. This is a punk zine with political writing communicated through a personal format, expressing Annette’s outrage and sadness at the current state of the world, but I guess also some small triumph via conviction and resistance. There are writings about human weakness accepting imposed tradition and values, animal liberation, sexism, a critical mass bike ride in Sarnia, a show we had New Years Eve in our garage, bad friends, the effects of growing up in the capitalist context, effects of technological development related to communication, tree-planting in British Columbia, a writing about punk itself, and a lot more. As previous issues benefited an elephant sanctuary, any money made from this zine benefits a no-kill animal shelter in the Peterborough area.
