The very most amazing live band, Math the Band are interviewed, including GATOR TIME with Justine. Bears from Cleveland who have furry friends are interviewed, as well. There's a folk tale about why there are never any popboys and story about a bizarro maze that's covered in greenery. There's an example of a game of telephone pictionary and instructions on how to play (and save your next party!), a list of nine signs a loved one could have a problem with indiepop abuse. And then there's me being sad and whiny and teenagerly. Order it!
$2.00 US, $3.00 international.
Money can be paypaled to sapricotzine (at) gmail (dot) com, or trades can be worked out, as always!
You can check for sold out issues at http://www.spiralscratchpop.com/caramel because they might have some left. Also, if you would like issue three, email me or message me to tell me because I will reprint if there's enough demand! These aren't limited edition, I just can't go around printing more than I can sell.
