Wow 60 huge pages of what is fast becoming Ontario’s premier music zine. Every single fucking thing in Cussword is worth reading. I particularly like the way Cornwall Ontario — the big smoke if you live in Long Sault — is taking on mythic proportions as a very very dull place to grow up. Chris Robertson’s article on his home town is just stellar. Especially the part about the mayor who thinks everyone is trying to kill him. Dave’s interviewing technique — ask quirky but somehow relevant questions in an unassuming but pesky way — pays off. I think he’s perfected it. Bands like Pond, Superchunk and Nerdy Girl ramble on about shit and either sound like idiots or don’t sound like idiots. Dave always wins.
