<p>&quot;Sometimes a disquieting idea, for at its core, an alternative signals difference: a state some may dustrust, others tolerate, still others, embrace. Fortunately, divergent views remain energetically alive, experience brings hope, exhilerating no matter what the outcome. In this anthology on less traditional and predictable lifepaths, the intensity, humor and spirit of these writing actually transcends differences, evidence of the strength found in exploring less travelled roads.&quot;</p><p>Contributors, cont'd: Mary Damon Peltier, Shirley Powers, Rita Reinert, Ellen Rosen, P.

Shaquille Callahan&rsquo;s only release from cutting squid in the local fish joint is dancing, fighting, drumming and chugging cough syrup with The Enchanters, the premier Protomersh band of Sprawlburg Springs. Led by volatile sweetheart/singer Renee, The Enchanters whip up a scene the likes of which the stately community has never witnessed. As the media encroaches and the city&rsquo;s leaders take up arms, the band struggles to contain its batshit-crazy energy without imploding.

Broadsheet on music as a commodity and the meaninglessness of it &quot;filling a void.&quot;<br />

This is the first chapter, published on its own as part of the Featherproof &ldquo;Light Reading Series&rdquo;

This is the third volume of comics put out by Matt Fagan, also the author of Meniscus. Love follows the relationship between Pokie (a fun loving punk rocker) and his boyfriend of 8 years, Jack (the more realistic, down to earth musician). Experiencing the normal ups and downs of life, they help each other celebrate the good times, and fight through the rough ones. But of course ridiculous adventures always seem to just sort of happen in this world of theirs, and although there was some crazy stuff in the two previous issues, I think this most recent release brings about the strangest accounts. I mean, when your neighbors turn out to be aliens, there&rsquo;s weird shit going on. So, if you&rsquo;re looking for that feel-good zine of the month, try Love. It&rsquo;s got cool characters, peculiar sub-plots, and occasional man on man action. Half size, 44 pages. <br />
