X: ADAM MICHAELS & GLEN CUMMINGS

I made another trip to Golden Age tonight (my new fave indie shop in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood) to grab myself a copy of 'X'. The shop is floor to ceiling 'zines, music, artwork and more.

The Golden Age staff? They're mad-cool! Not like those record shop pricks, in neighborhood near you, with their "yeah man, I used to dig German-Prog-Rock, that was before it got popular, man!"

A quote lifted from somewhere else in internet-land "This publication is an initial attempt to examine the trajectory of the X symbol in underground music culture. While the X is broadly associated with the punk scene—in particular, straight edge hardcore—the symbol contains a wide range of often-contradictory meanings. This document presents our ongoing research; we welcome comments, corrections, and criticism"
