With Big Brother making heroes out of arseholes it is not unreasonableto lose faith in the system that denotes good from bad, and meaningful from mediocre. Fortunately, issue minus 1 of Litmus Journal of Melbourne focuses upon ‘The Uses Of Heroes’ with features on Evel Knievel, pirates, Anthony Lucas, dogs, Saul Williams and the little known box wars.
With a keen eye for the extraordinary lurking within the everyday and for humour in the humdrum, Litmus finds good editorial angles like Kirstie Alley used to find cupcakes. It also has a cover that looks like Nicole Richie.
