Crank

Issue #5 PO Box 1646, Philadelphia, PA 19105-1646 $3 cash + a few stamps. I've only seen the e-zine version of this one but I really like it already! On the opening page there is this huge... well you can see it for yourself. In this 'zine, the author rants about Keanu Reeves and the DMV. This doesn't mean that he can't still rave about drinking and hate-mail. It really is great pulp.

1000% Max/Amsterdam

This is a graphically great e-zine. I's main focus is music. It comes in both an English and Dutch format. There are a lot of graphics in this 'zine so if you're modem is slow, this one is not recommended.

Things Jesus Wants You to Know

$2: 10 things, 1407 NE 45th St. #17, Seattle WA 98105. In this nutty Seattle fanzine you can find everything about Seattle's underground/indie scene. The writers of this great 'zine are pretty cool about sharing the wealth as long as you give them credit where credit is due. If you are into Punk Rock or just like to read 'zines, you must check this one out.

Geekgirl!

This e-zine is great! On the 1st page there is a great background of your average 1950's telephone operator complete with telephone headset. (I have one to!) In this e-zine you will find all 5 issues. It is definitely a feminist 'zine. There are articles about sexist "truckies" (a.k.a. truck drivers) and the troubles of "getting hooked" on the internet. This e-zine is overall done in a purely excellent style. It is literally pretty in pink.

Urban Desires

This is a very tidy e-zine about the metropolitan scene. One of its best articles is actually a comic strip. Possibly the internet's' first interactive comic strip. It's called Talking Feds and it's pretty easy to follow. Every time you see color in the black and white comic, you can click on it to check out the scene. It is so clever! I must warn you that it is a little bit nasty. It isn't exactly the kind of thing that I would share with my grandmother, but it's still not bad.

Whipped

It isn't actually an e-zine, but it's still good graphically and very indie and underground. It is actually a promo site for the band Whipped. You can even download sounds from the band as well as order their LP.

15 Credibility Street

This e-zine is mainly focused on poetry and essays. One poem by David Sutherland called "When Molly dreams" is about a girl who dreams about her mother and bubble gum. Funny that this seems to fit every Molly that I know. This is defiantly a great one to read if you are into good literature.

181.4 Degrees from the Norm!

181.4 DftN is a well thought out multi-window (a new feature of Netscape 2.0) e-zine. Including all visits since 3-29-26 there have been 944 visits in all. I went into issue #7. In the first article it discusses what a college radio station could and should be. They should play mainly indie recordings of local bands. Not the top 40's crap. This description just happens to fit KCSC perfectly. "Obviously, artists such as Hootie and the Blowfish, Oasis, and Alanis Morrisette can be heard on a million different formats:..."

256 Shades of Gray

This is an art/ literature e-zine. They take submissions every day from everyone. This seems to be a fairly popular site (1643 visits since 3-1-96.) In "Figments-Poetry for the Mind" there was a great poem by Kim Stinger called Lost. "My tears I see in a pond of confused fish, swimming in all directions but home."

8 Track Heaven

$2 8 Track Mind, PO Box 90, East Detroit, MI 48021-0090, USA. This e-zine digusses the wonders of the 8 track. In this issue of "8-Track" they had a great record about a great 8-Track. It was a bootleg of the Electric Light Orchestra. There is even an 8-track sound clip on the first page! This site digusses all there is to know about 8-tracks. You must check out his site!

Acid-Free Paper

This is an e-zine with all kinds of vivid graphics and great design. The contents include a list of FAQ and UAQ (Frequently asked questions and un-frequently asked questions) of Acid-Free, editorials and an art gallery. In David Simpson's art gallery there are a lot of good pictures. They are all accompanied by either a long description or a short poem. Since the pictures aren't full sized, it doesn't take very long for the page to load. Since the pictures are thumb-nails, you can enlarge them as you wish.

Dreamboy!

Dreamboy is the chronicle of Christopher Dante Romano's dreams. Every two weeks it is updated with his latest dreams. There has been a total of 20 issues. After reading this e-zine you just want to go to sleep and dream yourself away!
