FULSOME PRISM #2
I cant help noticing when i open up a zine that its upside down. You know when your sat on a train people look at you funny they think why the hell is that guy reading that magazine upside down, (is he crazy?) can he read upside down? well the answer is yes i can read upside down and actually its quite fun drawing and writing upside down as you get more into the shapes of the words and the shape of the subject rather than getting caught up in thinking about how your mind usually processes information. On first impressions this zine looks like its going to be really exciting after i have taken the staples out got a bit of pain trying to put the staples back in with the cover turned the right way now... so i don't draw attention to myself too much on the train i now start to read the zine and it has way too many words. which is making me think maybe this review should have been short and sweet rather than long and painful. in the past i have written some reviews of techno records for Boomkat and some of those reviews were very uncomfortable due to the indifference to the music involved this is not going to be painful. Page 3 usually has a naked girl on it but instead i'm greeted with Captain Beefheart which is much more pleasant than what i could have been delt. Other subjects include The Cuban Boys (not really a fan) What i'm reading which sort of reviews books by Kurt Vonnegut, Charles Saatchi and Maude Farrugla. So if you can get into the simple 1 bit images there are actually lots of interesting nuggets of information captured by this zinester and if you have the time to read his blog you might find out a whole world of information written by an interesting and well informed blogger. his review of the stolen sharpie revolution 2 book is almost as interesting a read as the book itself.
