Razorcake #54

(Razorcake) Pretty good issue: comprehensive Dead Milkmen interview, Nardwuar meets Daniel Johnston, and they wrap up the two part oral history of the Lumberjack/Mordam punk distributorship going kabloowie. Woulda been better if they squeezed it into one issue...no heroes or punk ethics in part two, making for dryer, sadder reading. And the editorializing conclusion is a touch self-righteous. That said, to actually see a piece of comprehensive, thoroughly researched investigative reporting in a zine is extremely impressive, and considering the state of journalism these days, they have put most daily papers and websites to shame with this.
