Weekly zine review #7 - 'GUTTERSLUG'
Leave your own headspace for a while and read about Emily (that smelly kid)'s life on the streets of Brisbane. This zine has been around for a while now but this girl's writing about life as a displaced teen is not the kind of thing that dates. She chronicles life in an adult government shelter as a 17 year old, surviving in a world of abuse and abusers as well as fragments of her earlier life in a long term accommodation shelter for young people.
Conor O'Brien box set
Many readers will be more than familiar with Conor and his work. He's a lovely fellow, a photographer from Perth who lived in Vancouver and Melbourne for a while and now resides in a place called Shag Cottage in Sydney. He's had a few memorable exhibitions in the cities he's lived, and to accompany each one, he produces a little book.
Weekly zine review #3 - 'YOU'
Nobody writes letters anymore. Except Luke You. This week I picked up the latest issue, sat down with a tea and read for the first time about how he's been plagued with crippling doubt. Unusual, I thought. At some point he realised he would be playing the first gig in a long time as lead guitarist and my anonymous hard working zine hero has appeared to suffer a freak out.
Weekly zine review #2 - Comic of Smallness
For those who know that Less is More, feel that the 50c coin is way oversized and get frustrated with the clunkiness of mobile phones these days, Green Comix presents to you the Comic of Smallness. Nanotechnology is finally here and it's 32 miniature pages where the only thing oversized is the staple holding it together and the dandy dog character's earplugs.
Serial Killers Club Zine
You don't have to perform murder to be a part of this club. Just write to and stir a postal relationship with someone who's done one.
The pages of this pen pal manual hijacks all the big names; the L-5 Bandit, David Berkowitz, Fred Waterfield alongside other lesser knowns like Debra Brown.
Disco Rough #1: ZickZack Records
Meet Samuel Miers. Sam is a man with a passion. A passion for musical niches you didn't even realise existed. Six months ago, Sam decided that rock music had been unknowingly profiting off early-80s German New Wave, and in particular the primary progenitor of the movement, ZickZack Records, for far too long.
The Blackmail
In the ongoing ‘death of publishing', the first casualty was - inevitably - the niche market. Unless you're glossy and covered in luxury ads featuring anorexics, these days, your mag is a hard sell. So... bye bye, Cat Lovers with S&M Tendencies Racecar Collectables Bi-weekly.
Luckily the internet is the place where niches flourish, which is nice, for us and for all concerned.
