I use an RSS reader a lot. Occasionally I'll see what I assume is SEO slop hit my feed that doesn't show up obviously if you go to the site directly. Assume they're juicing advertising this way.

Didn't check out a ton of new stuff this week. Prioritized Snocaps, which I'm a big fan of.

I collect old copies of Alt Press, so today's mail-day was pretty cool. November 96 (left) and April 89 (right).
If you're in the Philly/NYC area and have a stack of these sitting in your basement, I'll take 'em.
