Adventures in the Land of Greasecars and Fireflies
Sascha Scatter's zine/essay "Adventures in the Land of Greasecars and Fireflies is both a serious look at the gouging of the oil industry to the Amerikan public AND a very smoother overview as to how diesel vehicles can be converted to running both Bio-Diesel (a combination of Diesel Fuel and Vegetable oil) and a PVO (Pure Vegetable Oil) system. This 'zine cites various sources, gives an internal running dialogue about why cars aren't inherently evil, but are mere extensions of the people that drive them, and an overview as to how the conversion system works. I found this work to be very fascinating, and because of it I am now considering a diesel vehicle purchase. $2.00 Currently in stock.
Homespun
Homespun is a classic DIY Zine, put out by Neomi Martinez and C/S Press. It's pages contain useful information including things like recipies, cooking techniques, ideas and concepts for better living and other things that a lot of our modern age seems to pass over. Issues reviewed:#1Homespun #1:
Homespun #1 is an excellent DIY rescouce with lots of goodies in it. Unlike many DIY zines, it has a nice and USEFUL table of CONTENTS and a neat, 'about' page which gives an interesting history of the concept of the zine. One of the first items that we come to is a vegetable I was completely unfamiliar with, Nopales. While I've not yet been able to sample this vegetable, this is the kind of concept you're dealing with - things that you might not be aware of, that you might want to learn about. There's a wonderful recipie for flour tortillias (one I may add I have been looking for a long time). Very touching is her concept about getting kids into zines (you can never start the deprogramming too early!). Great shampoo articles as well and finally toward the back we see a great article about making you own mensus pads. Great stuff, highly reccomended. 40 pages, $2.00
