Hahaha.
I was reading an old issue of FLUX Magzine -- anyone remember that? It lasted from 1995-1997. It had comics (mostly SPAWN and Batman), music (mostly death metal and .. uh .. Marilyn Manson..), video games (the issues I had focused a lot on BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN, WIPEOUT, and... THE VIRTUAL BOY?!), tv (Simpsons, X-Files), and other shit. It was basically this "cool" magazine that they only made 7 issues of, every 3 months a new issue came out and each one was about 100 pages, and they said they were a zine, but it was a MAGAzine, not a FANzine; FANzines are what are usually called "zines".
Anyway, there was an article in issue 4 or 5 about Dinosaur Jr and the reviewer said -- in an otherwise extremely positive review "this guy is a guitar GOD, but he needs to stop singing. Cuz I can't get through an album without wanting to fall asleep! I reccomend buying this CD. But do some amphetamines to stay awake to hear its BRILLIANCE!" or something.
And then the next, like, 15 reviews were for Napalm Death, Cryptopsy, Anal Cunt, and shit.
Just kinda weird.
(another weird thing about the magazine is that the format for it changed completely with each issue, there was no consistency to the layout; the letters section in issue 1 -- issue 1, again -- had like 500 letters, while the final issue only had 1 letter.. odd... and they reviewed video games with ratings of a dog fucking a tree, and a dog pissing on the game. That was their way of rating shit. I guess, really, it makes more sense than Pitchfork "THIS ALBUM IS A 7.2. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT DESERVED A 7.4.")
Anyway...
