BUT BEST OF ALL,





IT'S OFFICIAL TEXT FILE MONTH!



     WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!



in celebration, we have a lot in store!

for example, the LEGENDARY iR file #300

will be released later this month!



                             HOOOOORAY!



in this file, just to GENERATE SOME INTEREST in

text files (besides impulse reality, since you

obviously read us), i decided to list some of

my favorites and regular reads. CHECK THESE OUT

OR PERISH, FRIENDS.



  i'm sorry, i don't make the rules, that's how it works.



ACTIVE ZINES RECOMMENDED BY ME~!@!@#$

 (ALPHABETICAL, BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU)

-----------------------------------------

     o Activist Time, Inc

       http://flag.blackened.net/ati/zine/infomaniack.html

         a very long-running zine put out by

         Prime Anarchist. Insightful and humorous

         political enlightenment



     o confusions

       http://www.hoe.nu/confusions

         they haven't released an issue in a few

         months, so maybe this should be in the

         inactive zine list, but i hope not, because

         trilobyte is awesome.



     o Cult of the Dead Cow

       http://www.cultdeadcow.com

         cDc does a lot more besides producing text,

         but they've been doing it for the longest

         and they're responsible for influencing

         numerous other text zines, past and present.



     o Neo-Comintern, The

       http://www.neo-comintern.com

         anyone who reads iR should be fully aware

         of n-com by now, brainchild of BMC (who

         occasionally blesses iR with submissions!)

         and if you're not aware, then you're a

         worthless gutter tramp.



NON-ACTIVE (OR AS SOME WOULD CALL IT, INACTIVE)

      ZINES RECOMMENDED BY ME!#!$#$

        (STILL ALPHABETICAL, !!! )

------------------------------------------------

     o Hogs of Entropy (HOE)

       http://www.hoe.nu

         with 1112 text releases, HOE is the most

         prolific zine to date. without hoe's influence,

         iR would not exist. mogel was a great editor

         and a great friend, and wrote some of the best

         textfiles ever (he also wrote for iR on several

         occasions!)



     o I Bleed For This?

       http://www.textscene.com/archive/IBFT

         this zine also payed a huge role in my interest

         in the text scene. long before i was writing my

         own textfiles, or really understood the nature of

         text files, i was reading IBFT? i'm not sure

         what it is about their 'hate-everything-especially-

         you' attitude that makes us all love them, but we all

         -do- love them. 



     o Long Dark Tunnel

       http://web.textfiles.com/ezines/LDT

         LDT just sort of fell off the face of the internet a

         year or two ago, and a hole in my heart has remained

         ever since. i actually started actively reading the

         zine shortly before they disappeared, so it was a real

         bummer when they suddenly up and left.





 okay, i am at work, and this is all i got right now. these should keep you

busy. now go start your own fucking zine, and send all information to...
