A7 weekly anti-review music perzine, issues 6-10 (6 April - 11 May 2009)

[OK, so it doesn't look like 5 zines in the pic but believe us there's one hidden underneath. We don't sell you short- Mail Order Dept]

The narratives became less erratic over this period, with more care taken to trim the wiry hedges growing alongside it's consciousness stream, keeping the water flowing in a way that, although not
peaceful, at least make a bit more sense, with less backwards waterfalls and stretched metaphors. Topics covered included avoiding zine-burnout, audio equipment nerd-dom, starting a shitcore band, contemplating zines as a priveleged passtime, and frustrations with psychotherapy.

An outrageous expose on TINA (This is not art festival) 2009.

Today is July 25 2009 and I'm writing this zine to take part in a 24 hour zine making event. Typically, when I sit down to make a zine all planets must be aligned. I need blank paper. 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.

Drawings of all those bastards who knocked back Flaps' zines at the TINA (This Is Not Art) zine fair in Newcastle, 2003. Even with free donuts, some couldn't be tempted!

28 pages, 21 cm x 15 cm.

It has a blue cover, but the inside front drawing was more scan-worthy.

Issue 5 of the semi regular comic art periodical, containing one long story concerning the heart-wrenching demise of the last share house in the universe, one short story about zine fairs, and an assortment of other "crazy" comics and "zany" activities. A great thing to keep the kids busy on a Sunday morning or your junkie flatmate at three am on a Tuesday.

Because the 2008 diary wasn't primarily meant to be zeen content, the blather entries are sometimes a tad more personal. If you were hoping for my scandalous and juciest of revelations circa 2008, this zeen has the greatest potential to meet your needs. This is probably my most embarrassing zeen to date, so I'm hoping, should that be your desire, you'll be a little disappointed.

In the late 90s, zinemaker Kane Barwick dedicated the sixth issue of Sure to his own verbose style of journalism: 20 questions about zine culture to 20 zinemakers and comic artists. That concept has been plagerised (with Kane's blessing). In this second issue of the reinvented Sure6 interviewees include Ianto Ware, Mavis McKenzie, Simon Gray, Ivana Stab, 7U?, 150 Pages, and Erinsborough Exploits. Questions include issues of anonymity, best zine advice, and startling personal revelations.
