FROM
THE
BACK COVER:
For
over a decade in print and online, LiP: Informed Revolt
concocted a deeply imaginative, iconoclastic mix of politics, culture,
sex, and humor that took clear, sometimes uproarious aim at mass
mediocracy and capitalist miserabilism. All volunteer, never for
profit, and always criminally underdistributed, LiP's diverse
crew of co-conspirators devoted ourselves to imagining and articulating
a vernacular radicalism unencumbered by the political deadwood of
the day.
Collected
herein are the finest fruits of our award-winning efforts: the very
sharpest salvos from the oddly dangersome, overwhelmingly larcenous,
vaguely apocalyptic, constructively negative, relentlessly persuasive,
curiously unflinching, and often grossly unexpected pages of the
best magazine you probably never heard of.
