The new edition of This Zine Will Change Your Life is live. All 1995. And full of Day.

The new edition of This Zine Will Change Your Life is live. We have new piece from old friend, Yesterday, 1995 by Holly Day, which we are way excited about, and, (almost) as always, photo action from Adam Lawrence, music curation from Jason Behrends and gun action prose love from Pete Anderson. We hope you enjoy this edition and we appreciate all shout-outs and links. Finally, please note, we are hoping more of you will submit comix, and music, novel excerpts, and art, and video, yes, video, and combinations there of. And most finally, Catfishing, what?

"Ben Tanzer loves his father. Age sort of weakens the bond people have between each other. Every year widens the chasm between the young and old. Millions now living will never die." Banango Street gets Beach Sloth'd. And likes it. A lot.

Quite totally likes it in fact. It is a review of both great beauty and great girth and should be experienced as only a Beach Sloth truly can. With awe. And mass appreciations.

"S.E. Hinton on crack." Lucky Man - The Anniversary Edition gets some much appreciated albeit gravitas-invoking quasi-backhanded complimentary Year in Books CCLaP love.

Truly appreciated that, and quite a fine list yo, not to mention possibly the single greatest Lucky Man blurbage since Willamette Week said it was "like a Rubik's Cube on acid." Word.

New joint. I Am Your Ancestor. At the Banango Street.

Most happy we are about this. And most appreciative as well to be included in such fine company. So big thanks to Rachel and Justin for that, and drinks, many on us, when next we meet. Now how about some excerpt? Cool.

"He is old now, and he must wonder how much of himself he should share, and how much he ought to try when his time on earth is limited. Maybe not making any kind of personal connection is easier for everyone involved. So, despite how much he has to share, he is not sharing at all. Instead, he is wary, cautiously circling my son, and treating him as something fragile and foreign, and not able to engage, not now anyway."

Fight Song by the Joshua Mohr is in the house. And reading will commence shortly.
