Some girls with a nose for trouble and a finger on your crotch artery are launching a new magazine called Death of a Scenester this weekend. They have an excellent concept, which is - it's going to maintain a punk, DIY-underground edge without looking like a piece of shit. They'll promote freedom of artistic expression, just like zines do, but they'll also have in-depth features and opinion columns about everything from music to immigration.

Weekly zine review #1 - 'Astrobabble: the zine for astrology nerds'
Zines are awesome. They're just small photocopied low-fi mags and often targeted at a niche group of nobodies. Robot nerds. Nerf nerds. Articulate shoplifters. Those with a penchant for drawings of toasters. And so forth. Well, here's a zine "for astrology nerds" but it deserves a much broader audience.
