$0.75, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", photocopied, 12 pgs.

Oh no! A scribbled cover with lousy bubble letters? It seems destined for the recycle bin already. But it is only twelve pages. I can get through this. Turn the page, read the first page:   "!Daft Mania! Is crazy about the French techno band Daft Punk! Each zine highlights one of their songs and their influence on pop culture." (Huh? How did a fan of French techno find Razorcake anyway? We are a far- reaching magazine indeed.) Spend 60 seconds reading the content: The author listened to a Daft Punk song when he was nine, then heard the song playing during a scene in a movie several years later and remembered what a great song it was. Ah, so this zine is not actually about the song's influence on pop culture, but instead, about a song that means somthing to a teenager. That, I can respect. Since techno is pretty lame and this zine isn't too great, maybe the author of Daft Mania should read a few issues of Razorcake and get really into DIY punk, then he could start putting out better zines. -Lauren Trout
