Simple cut-and-paste music ‘zine. It’s not pretentious and engaging. Includes interviews with Fastbacks, Marilyn Manson, Suede (zzzz…), Killjoys, DRI, NOFX, Odds, and the folks at Touch and Go Records. CT also has loads of quickie record reviews. A great column by Paula Szabo – an expression of her unabashed admiration for Billy Idol. She makes no apologies and has some good arguments for liking him. I don’t, but that’s not the point. The interviews range from one-page, silly chats about beer and corn flakes to longer analytical music discussions.
