J'ai reçu le dernier numéro de Zine World par la poste ce matin, içi la chronique que Katie (Aubade zine) a faite de Cheaptoys #5, et plus loin celle d'Amber pour son blog Fight Boredom :
"This french cut-and-paste zine chronicles gizmo's band's tour in Italy, which is rad except it's in french. I was a french minor in college, so I enjoyed the challenge, althought I understood a third of what I read. the parts of the zine that are in English are completely endearing, and I am a sucker for gizmo's enthousiasm and curiosity. he relates the movie whip it to DIY ideals and talks about learning letterpress. lots of energy in this little zine" -Katie, Zine World #30
"This is the fifth issue of Gizmo’s punk zine and it’s mostly about touring through Italy with his band. Most of it is written in French, with a few pages in English. Also included is an ode to the letterpress and a piece on Whip It and his thoughts on big Hollywood movies that try to cash in on the DIY scene, basically saying that while the idea doesn’t necessarily sit well with him, he hopes that the film could introduce new people to scenes like rollerderby and riot grrrl and also provide positive representations of women. Totally cut and paste, with rubber-stamped covers.
Ce zine punk écrit par Gizmo est la cinquième édition. Il écrit principalement au sujet d’une tournée de son groupe de musique à travers l’Italie. Le zine est surtout écrit en français, mais il comprend également quelques pages écrites en anglais. Il contient un hommage à l’impression à la main (letterpress) et un article sur le film Whip it, tout en réfléchissant sur le concept des films hollywoodiens qui tentent de récupérer la philosophie DIY. Il croit que le film pourrait attirer un nouveau public vers la scène DIY , le rollerderby, riot grrrl tout en donnant une image positive de la femme en générale, mais il ne cache pas son désarrois de voir Hollywood reprendre les idées de la scène. Entièrement couper aux ciseaux et coller à la main, couverture fait à l’étampe. " Amber, Fight Boredom' Blog.
