I wonder if you’re thinking of issue 8 of Number Two zine..? (one of the best issues of any zine ever made imo, grail item) Keith sent me the cardboard piece that absorbed the excess ink when he screened the brown bags. Gonna frame it.
If anyone has issues 1, 2, 6 or 9 of Number Two, get in touch!

Lots of talk about how dramatically different our media diets are since the OJ trial. My high school job was working at a regional bookstore that sold books written by those involved in the trial in *heaps* Instead of the internet you waited a month or three, then went to a bookstore and dropped $20

I switched from Spotify to (the vastly superior in sound and selection) Apple Music last year and it was such a good choice. Easy, too. With the help of a third party app, I transferred my entire library in ~30 minutes
