Clusterfunk The Magazine, #1. (Zine Thing).(Periodical Review)
Nov 01, 2002 ... Awright, I am going to try to be nice here ...This one's got some good stuff in it, some interesting skate photos, and whatnot, but they appear to take themselves a little too seriously, from the copyright threat on the first page onward. It's a 'zine, but they insist on calling it a "real ...
Impact Press, #40. (Zine Thing).(Periodical Review)
Nov 01, 2002 ... Since this is #40, it's fair to assume these guys have been at it for a while. Impact takes on social and political issues from a decidedly leftist, but not overly dogmatic, point-of-view. It's got stuff on ...
Skate and Annoy, Volume 2, Number 1. (Zine Thing).(Periodical Review)
Nov 01, 2002 ... Awright, so these guys did this 'zine outta Chicago in the late '80s and then went on hiatus for a while. One of them moved to Oregon and with the wealth of kill spots there, decided he couldn't resist putting out the mag again; hence, the Volume 2 classification. It's quality stuff, with ...
Sod Awf, #6. (Zine Thing).(Periodical Review)
Nov 01, 2002 ... Here is a killer example of a well-done 'zine from north of the border, good layout and art, attentive writing (the editor actually edits?!), cool subjects covered, not overly ambitious, and thick as cold snot. This one's got interviews with the ...
Drogulus, #5. (Zine Thing).(Periodical Review)
Nov 01, 2002 ... Drogulus is, apparently, "An entity whose presence is unverifiable, because it has no physical effects." Well, this comic/'zine is verifiable, and I veritably say it is worth a couple shitters on the pot. It's mostly one-shot doodles combined with jokes, observations, words to ponder, and ...
Northwest Chapter Skate Comix, #1. (Zine Thing).(Periodical Review)
Nov 01, 2002 ... Comic-inspired skate doodling, this one's worth a peek. Quinn is a Seattle-ite who's got a knack for laying out the page/panels, and some cool ideas to throw in ....
Anatomy of the "field of dreams".
Nov 01, 2002 ... All across the world the batteries are chargin', the lenses are gleamin', and the skaters are snappin'. For every Scott Kane and Kris Markovich, there's a whole production crew waiting for you to bust. "Son uva bitch ... tinkled on my shoes again" On Video gap ...

Adelmo Jr.: "respect everyone, no matter what". (Heads).(Interview)
Nov 01, 2002; Woods, Shelby ... You kinda lag a lot. What's up with that? People where I come from are real relaxed, really chill.

My heart pumps Fanta!(skateboarding trip to Spain)
Nov 01, 2002; Burnett, Michael ... Ed and I set up this trip to Spain months earlier in his office.

All photos by Jaya Bonderov. (Skater's Eye).(Brief Article)
Nov 01, 2002; Burnett, Michael ... About 10 years ago, Jaya had a photo in Thrasher nosesliding a massive SF neighborhood ledge, the sides of which revealed recently-dried paint.

The Distillers.(Brodie Armstrong)(Interview)
Nov 01, 2002; Smith, Greg ... IT ALL STARTED IN THE DUNGEON THAT I USED TO CALL my office.

One of the bands I remember from those days ...

Notes from the underground.(rock music news)
Nov 01, 2002 ... WHO COULD SAY NO TO HEAD?
