We sympathize with the plight of the media-bloated wayfarer, and we offer our version of the little light-house in the storm to guide thee to worthy ports. In other words, here are some 'zines we like... And let us say right off that we don't mean PROPAGANDA in its negative sense . . . so let that wrinkle out of your brow right now, gentle reader. Tongue-in- cheek is our game. These are not publications that adopt style and form as a guise to distract readers from their real purpose of pushing their cause. There is a lot of stuff out there which is propaganda in that sense, especially by Christians-- but hopefully not here. We try to only include those zines that update or publish on a regular basis. Check back for additions as we find them.

There's nothing worse than capitalist hippies! Just kidding. Originated out of the Jesus Movement of the early '70s; covers art, theology, music, social issues, etc. Their website has enough to keep you busy for years. Only two or three issues a year, but subscriptions are free if you're poor. Subscribe here		Very good at what they do, which is mostly interviews and reviews from the world of indie rock, emo, hardcore, punk, alternative, etc., plus clever columns, art, and some book and film reviews. Consistent updates, continually improving layout, professional design. Only complaint is too much content organized under too many menu choices, which makes their site intimidating to the time-limited visitor.
It's Cornerstone Mag junior! Just a little more color-drenched and literature-oriented. Very thought- provoking Canadian mag, professional in its content of social justice, ideas, pop culture, and humor, but a little short and overly postmodern- conscious. They went ad-free over a year ago, and we haven't seen anything new since then. Not sure if they're still alive.		Once a mighty respected print music mag with a distinct voice, now demoted to the Web.  Still necessary reading for those in the know.  Increasingly devoted to indie music coverage, branching out to movies and sub-culture commentary, and built on top of an extensive online store of Christian music. And they have a great mp3 online radio show.
"Pretty Much the World's Only Religious Satire Magazine" The kind of rag you want to give to your favorite fundie Christian just to watch their ears steam. Mocks and pokes fun at everything superficial and kooky about religion (mostly Christianity), so that the unspoken core of truth stands uninhibited. Also features somewhat serious interviews with authors, theologians, and well-known personalities. Subscribe here		A two-man operation with class. Reviews of indie rock, electronic, and experimental albums, and reviews of kung fu, anime, and indie/cult films. Plus a few interviews with bands and extensive Cornerstone Festival coverage each year. Founder Morehead is a true music lover - his reviews take into account the whole album, its effect on his psyche, and its context in the rest of his life. Ditto with movies. Rare to find such substance online.
Interesting thoughts, good balance of scholary classicism and clever pop culturalisms. Snappy! Subscribe here		Most comprehensive source for intelligent music and movie reviews from an open Christian perspective. The Phantom Tollbooth - it's no illusion! Our editor-in-chief cut his teeth on this zine and still helps them out, so you'll go there if you know what's good for you. Their design is kinda gay-corporate, but they do the best they can.
"The Journal of Mere Christianity," but this is anything but "mere." Scholarly, in-depth essays by heavyweight Christian thinkers from Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox schools take up most of the room, with book reviews in the corners. Get your thinking caps on for this one, children. Subscribe here		Used to be a cool underground music mag...for about four issues. That seems to be the number for print mag failure (re: FUEL). Now they're trying the online thing instead, with one annual print issue promised. Check them out for rad indie music coverage.
All music deep and dark, at your door glossy clean and sharp. Another sub-pod of the Flaming Fish regime that features comprehensive reviews and interviews (many from their own label stable.) Industrial/electroGoth/ Electronica/TranceAmbient and more... comes with compilation CD. No regular printing schedule, you buy each issue from Flaming Fish direct.		"The Magazine of Christian Unrest" For fans of The Door, but more consistently funny and excellent. Bunch of Brits, but all humor is basically the same when it comes to making fun of the biggest kooks in the world: Christians!
		Pop culture review and commentary from an "Australian Christian perspective?" We've yet to figure what that is, but this is quite possibly the most mind-stimulating zine out there for the brain-blessed pop culture junkie. The kind of e-zine you wish was in print, because the writing is just too long and meaty for computer screens. If they don't update soon, though, we're going to cry. Uncontrollably.
