If your in the mood for some irrepressible solidarity on the front of just how crap home towns can be head over to the Idler. Basically, it strikes me as the sort of rantings that may come out of the more expressive elements of the crustidom I've always associated with the anarchist counter culture across the water, thats heavy does of situationism and an unhealthy faith that communication actions can change the world. Well, from a brief look at the site it seems they have picked up on the sort of edgy cyncism that used to drip from the fondly remembered Slate
Getting it together to publish three collections of Crap Jobs, Holidays and Towns. This is perfect toilet reading material, if only the wireless was up and running eh? With tales of maynoisse abuses in sandwich processing plants, and how "Too Much Too Young’ being murdered through the floorboards" in a dingy regional town can really be the cultural highlight of the weekend. Ouch.
