The folks at Reglar Wiglar take the structure of your basic music fanzine and turn it inside out to produce a very funny zine that takes no prisoners. There is some “real” music commentary, like Joey Germ’s “One Word Record Reviews” (Bakesale is “pensive” and Whip Smart is “popular”) but most of it is low satire, poking fun at music culture and music zines, They “interview” the hip hop band “White Bred and Honky MC” and “MotherScratcher.”—Factsheet 5

Funny fucking zine outta Chicago that does many beautiful things: 1. Explore the stupidity and of evilness of those “psychological personality profiles” that shitty jobs make you take to see if you’re dishonest enough to appear honest. 2. throws crappy CDs onto the busy Western Avenue and describes their demise. 3. Creates a parody (I hope) band interview (The Woodrows) complete with an exhaustive discography. I have no idea what Reglar Wiglar is.—ZEEN
