Well I don't know about you kids but for me it's midsemester, which means midsemester essays, which means looking for any excuse to procrastinate. I've been thinking about this particular project for a while as it's actually the kind of zine that I want to read other people's versions of. Basically it's a short list of words, terms and phrases that my closest friends and I use from day to day and where they come from. Most of them are appropriated from popular culture - some of which you'll recognise, some of which you might not.

Cool little comic about a girl who had mystery headaches when she was small. The story is told through cute line drawings that follow her journey to recovery. Pictures include: Throwing up from her bed; Unable to catch a ball; She and her mother facing a sea of (scary) grinning doctors offering conflicting diagnoses; Her being showered in various pills and bottles; Finally being told the real diagnosis by a gleeful-looking doctor. Essential pocket reading.

Half of this zine was written whilst bored at work and half of it was written in the several hours that I was locked out of my house on a thursday night. As infuriated as I was then, in retrospect it was a better use of my time than sitting on my bed, eating curly wurlys and watching the final season of Oz.

This is an autobiographical 'mixtape; of things that happened in 2008 and before. Includes mini stories on houses I've lived with and people I've lived with, identity crises and other such non sequiturs.

Although this zine is partly about the vertigo and the nervousness and the nausea, it's also about the transcendence and the joy and that amazing feeling when you think that things cannot get any better, except they do.This is another personal zine inspired by my decision to quit the call centre that I've previously referenced in the Epitaph for my Heart series. Includes events that propelled this life changing (for the better) decision, my take on the etiquette of resigning from crappy jobs, the aftermath of quitting and the politics of office 'theft'.

Butch was regularly taken out of his cage. he spent more time out of it than in it when I was around. whenever the tv was on in the lounge, he would be up on the ledge inside that ran along the top of the window, running up and down, chattering excitedly...

...I came across these notes last week while attempting to clean my room and saw a rather strange parallel. Perhaps I didn't consciously realise it but every Electrelane song is associated with something very specific for me - people and experiences lost, only to be recaptured through lyric and melody. Is this my form of eternal return?

Featuring dodgy binding and a 6,500 word interview with Sydney's Seymour Butz, Coughing up Legomen is the first issue in 5 years for Chris. A mix of kinds of writing, cathartic and happy, CUL has screen printed covers and is offset printed in blue and black ink. CUL started as an angry punk queer teenage angst. Now it is a more reflective bunch of writings about love life, tribal thinking, getting your house raided by the cops, the free/squat party scene in Sydney and sharehousing. Hundreds showed up to the launch party and everyone got wasted. I sold 12 zines to 420 people. The afterparty was good tho. This zine was collated by 6 people. With love and beer. This is #20. #19 doesn't exist but I have done 5 years of life since #18, so fair's fair, huh?

This was the first zine in a very long time. Over a year in the making (or three years, if you count from when it was first spoken about), then rapidly compiled in the 24 hours leading up to the TINA zine fair in October 2008 in Newcastle, this zine is all about mix-tapes. Not CDRs, nor MP3 playlists, but TAPES - that wonderful dying medium whose nobility is also, it seems, fading away. Managed to get in the zine top 10 in Maximum Rock n roll #313, despite the fact that the reviewer hated the creator's music taste.

The first time I ever went on RSVP and realised I needed a profile heading, I decided to write 'desperate' because, after all, I was. Surprisingly, I received many responses. Responses by a whole population of insipid, unattractive, uninspired men. I realised that in dismissing them outright, I wasn't actually desperate at all. I amended my profile to read 'superficial'. And I received different kinds of propositions.

Anyone who's stood still long enough on a Melbourne street corner will know: This town has a lively music scene. Being for the most part a small town scene, most subgenres tend to get along just fine, sharing venues, bookers and the city night. However recently a rift has begun to emerge - a genre has become shunned...

But you can't notice them without inspecting me at point-blank range, so I don't care. Speaking of translucent (as I did, um, 49 words ago), did you know that the meaning of the word opaque has changed, so that apparently it can now mean either see through or transparent?

My recollections of this time come carried by their house, each memory starts with a corner, or a piece of furniture, or the items in a cabinet. The most mysterious place was my grandfather's workbench and his drawers of tiny watch and clock components. Every week he'd collect people's broken watches from the university newsagency where they dropped them off, and bring them home to repair them. I was often employed to 'help', which involved me sitting beside him as he removed the backs of watches to reveal the tight, complex world of wheels and cogs inside...

Will I make it to the copy place before it closes? Why didn't I put the lid on the gluestick after I last used it? 

July is international zine month and today is my first free Saturday in weeks. Surely this is a sign that today I can answer the 24 hour zine making challenge.

Sometimes i feel little. when I'm sitting down i feel this way, i see everyone as being bigger than me. when I stand up it's like I'm growing abnormally, shooting up past people's heads - like that moment in the cuckoo's nest when the cheif's hand swells when Jack Nicholson's character shakes it. i feel small when I'm alone, I shrink and the world grows big.

If you never go to regional Victorian town Sale, I hope for your sake you don't, it's all rather abstract and pointless. And if you do, you'll be too busy erecting a hasty stockade, counting your dwindling ammunition and preparing for nightfall and the assault of hundreds of drunken bogans. In case you hadn't guessed, I'm not too keen on my former home town. But don't worry, this zine will not be a bitter, hate-filled rant awash with sarcasm and the pain of rejection. Wait a second, there's an extra word in that last sentence. In case you're wondering, the word is 'not'.

This is a split zine bringing together two heavy weights of the Australian zine underworld with the theme of 'metal' (as in heavy metal, or no metal at all).  The YOU half is issue #353 of the weekly,
anonymous, free, paper zine from Melbourne.  YOU has been produced every week since November 2001 and usually takes the form of a hand-written letter sealed with staples in a paper bag.  

The Westside Angst half is issue #13 of the long running Adelaide zine Westside Angst made by Dr Ianto Ware.  Dr Ware's half of the zine is devoted entirely to Motorhead.  

This zine is notable for being launched inNewcastle at midnight on the Saturday night of the This Is Not Art Festival weekend, 2008.  The zine was launched at The Obelisk as the clock struck midnight and a copy of the zine was set on fire on a sundial as a crowd of hardcore zine fans cheered while Manowar played on a walkman and Slayer played on a lap-top.

'Valuable' book and 'literature' reviews from the Winter of 2009.

Dear Reader, Winter has settled itself over my adopted suburb of Stepney. To use the parlance of our times, "I'm not a fan". I usually spend the first six weeks trying to be 'environmentally friendly' by not using the heater, then I snap and turn the damn thing on and it reeks of burning dust and that pretty much sets the scene for the whole season; that overtone of grotty desperation.

For those of you who, like myself, devolve significantly over the winter months and find yourself crumbling into a ruin of social malaise and personal conundrum I have compiled the following reading list.
