After buying this black-and-white Polaroid Land Camera at a garage sale for the Tidbits, we decided to package it up and send it to each of the subjects for this month’s issue. They’d get the camera, use one shot to photograph themselves, and then ship it to the next person. And so on and so on and so on until the whole issue was old-time-y portraits.

 WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO
All We Want Is Life Beyond The ThunderdomePut down your tube of BedHead and tell me how many people throughout history can you consider true "heroes"? A hundred? A thousand? Wrong. Science has proven that there have been literally millions of heroes throughout time and space. But of course the concept of what is heroic depends completely on...

  BEATS AND RHYMES
A few years back an amazing record came out that not enough of you bought. It was an instrumental hip-hop record based on a water theme, and it was obviously created by someone who smokes a lot of weed. The dude's name is DJ Frane, and the record was Frane's Fantastic Boat Ride (or Beats to Blaze to...

 AMERICAN HERO
Why Michael Moore Is a Gift From GodAfter watching timeless classics like Roger and Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Stupid White Men (is that a movie yet?), one thing becomes painfully obvious to my swelling heart: Michael Moore is magical. He is a blessed angel who came out of the skies and brought to us a kind of chubby justice that ...

 ELECTRIC INDEPENDENCE
Ok, so remember that track "Missy Queen's Gonna Die" from a couple of years back? I'm sure you know it cuz jocks are still playing the shit out of it. It's the one with the wickedly strong female vocal that wasn't all blasé Euro monotony, and it had a great verse/chorus that the Martini Bros. remix ...

 MEXICAN HARDCORE
Catalina Knows No BordersIf I were a porn star I would want to be like Catalina. She is the unadulterated, uninhibited, inimitable queen of raunch! I first discovered her last week when my boyfriend rented All About Anal, Vol. 12 and we just sat there repeating, "Oh my fucking God" again and again. Catalina makes every othe...

Last month we wandered into a garage sale in New York's West Village, and holy shit, do the gays ever have cool stuff! Check it out–the faggot equivalent of John Holmes as a vintage GI Joe–size action figure. Some dude was selling it for $5, because "It's gross. ...

 KILL HER, MOMMY!
Jackie Geronimo Protects Her BabiesAspiring boxer Jackie Geronimo is truly a timeless heroic mother figure. You could kidnap this woman and her children, put them on a fancy time-traveling bicycle, and send them to the Paleolithic era with all those big lizard birds and cave people, and Jackie would say, "Whatevs" and just handle shi...

 RED PANTS VS. RAPE

 CANCER KILLAH
Subzero's Singer Cheats Death –TwiceSubzero is one of those quintessential NYC bands like Madball and Sick of It All that goes back to the late 80s, when the LES was still scary. Unfortunately, in the past fifteen years, punk and hardcore have evolved into something even Kelly Osbourne and Good Charlotte can enjoy. The original bands ...

 SURVIVING THE MID-PUNK CRISIS
Christine Boarts, Slug & Lettuce PrevailChristine Boarts is the most friendly, polite, and cheerful crusty punk that you're ever likely to meet. She was the queen of NY's politically galvanized anarcho-punk scene, and for those who hung out at ABC No Rio in the era of Nausea, Born Against, and Rorschach, she was the punk rock crush du jou...

 FUCK OFF
Leave Cady Noland AloneOne of the most brilliant, highly influential, and endlessly ripped-off sculptors of the 80s/90s is someone you've never even heard of. Although Cady Noland has rarely exhibited over the past ten years, she looms large by reputation, and because of the mystery surrounding her self-imposed exile. Nol...

 SPINNING IN HER GRAVE
Zora Neale Hurston Hates Your GutsIf Zora Neale Hurston were alive today, she would hate your fucking guts.

Why Jenn Kitt Quit xBxRxI'm in a band. And part of what comes with being in a band is dealing with creeps, losers, and stalkers (ask the Rapture about that–holy shit). Fortunately, I haven't dealt with many of them personally, but Jenn Kitt, a former bandmate of mine, almost went nuts because of it....

 WHERE'S MZ. THANG?
The Forgotten Bitches of BhouseBaltimore house is as indigenous to the B'more/D.C. area as those faggy motorized scooters are to the diaper-wearing, wanna-be-gangtsa teens of New York's LES. But instead of making everyone laugh and point, the mid-Atlantic's take on house makes you want to throw strange men down on the filthy danc...

The Forgotten Bitches of JamaicaJamaica is music-nerd paradise. Not because this small island is responsible for a shocking number of consummate tunes you know and love, but because it birthed an equal amount of tunes that you–and thus your friends, colleagues, and others you'd like to one-up–don't yet know and love. The sheer vol...

 MY HAIR HEROINE
By Cronos From VenomWhen I first formed Venom I tended to use natural Henna to dye my hair but these days I use anything I can get my hands on. Whatever the brand, I usually go for the deep red tone. I think it suits me.
