BLASTITUDE #16…..The web’s best put-together ‘zine has a new issue “out” (or “up”) – it’s the latest BLASTITUDE, and it looks like it has a lot of noisy dripping meat attached to it this time. I may not share their enthusiasm for free-form freak-out noise, jazz and improv – check that, I definitely do not share their enthusiasm for free-form freak-out noise, jazz and improv – but I respect their approach and their writing chops nonetheless. I think they actually sit down and listen to this stuff, and can successfully discern the nuances that exist between one man’s bleep and another man’s blurp. That alone is worth saluting, as are the top-shelf graphics, print-like layout and overall spirit of full on music exuberance. Check out the hilarity and mistaken Cubs worship by clicking here.
