Ventoline #5

Ventoline #5 – Ventoline is a music fanzine written and illustrated by women.

Ventoline is a music-loving, dilettante and polymorphous creature who never leaves her den at a fixed time. Today we have reached the fifth episode of her adventures, not without problems but with a lot of reiterated joy and, as always, food and drink: anti “folklore of the future” manifesto, junk exoticism, dancehall reggae in London in the 80’s, Flesh of the Hen blind test, gothic flyers, sea cucumber disc-jockey, country rarities reissue. … and more and more drawings that speak for themselves, so that we don’t always know who we’re dealing with. A feminist music fanzine interested in images? A graphic magazine interested in music without the male point of view? A collective blog on newsprint? A typographic catalog in disguise? Ventoline prefers to quote Régine: “I don’t give a damn / About the stories, the legends / All I ask of them / Is that they don’t ask too much of me / I don’t give a damn […] Yet there’s no need to call me!”
