Review: Genetic Disorder #18

Thanks to Larry for sending the latest issue of Genetic Disorder. I met him 10 years ago when I was doing the zine thing with Yakuza. It's great to see some of the "old-school" zinesters still at it.

The new ish of Genetic Disorder features much of the stuff Larry loves to rave about including punk rock, the seedier side of San Diego's history, heavy drinking and a general love of irresponsibility and free living. Right on Larry!

VIDEO: News Bike Stunt

In the middle of an on air demonstration of how easy it is to steal a bike by two guys, one of them pretends to get too close to the saw and cut his hand.

Ba ha ha ha!

Driving on heroin in Delaware

The fact that Delaware has a heroin problem on its hands isn't terribly surprising. What IS unusual is that in the latest wave of ODs, at least three of them occured while people were driving!
