Madie Ruthless isn’t just the coolest lo-fi acoustic ska act to come along since the one, Chris Murray, but she’s also the person responsible for New Orleans’ Pick It Up Skazine.  I nearly forgot that she reprinted my review of the newest Slackers record, Self Medication.

Of course you can read it here on Ska Blah Blah, but then you’d be missing out on interviews with Sic & Mad, Tommi Infamous and Deal’s Gone Bad.  And Pick It Up will take you back to the days of zeroxed, DIY zine’s that used to connect us all to the scene. Check it out.
