Homelovin’ (December 2001)
Does exactly what it says on the cover. In this case to leave, move from the buzz, the low of the monitor as I enjoy my seat in this tidier room. Yet I yearn for its transformation into a shopping list. Paul Haworth and his chum Louis Harber write a bunch of music reviews, albums and gigs they’ve attended. Now music don’t mean a whole lot to me: it’s there, it’s in the air, it’s in the air. These reviews are written without Kritikal note or commentary in the technical sense. It’s a commentary in the passionate full-spun opinion, with an edge that could get really annoying, but doesn’t. The writing style lacks the bull by a shit image, I found reading this lively as if a marriage is forthcoming. Casual, analytic, social. This zines content? The feelgood factor, permeating, just clicks with me.
