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. Nano technology 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.
Faster Pussycat zine
Once upon a time, in a sleepy village called Brisbane, there lived a bunch of exceptionally clever, remarkably attractive, and undeniably stylish ladies - each with mad skills. Art show after thrift store after market stall after cup of coffee - the ladies' paths crossed and it was only a matter of time before a super-group was formed; a collective with a keen eye for vintage and a sixth sense for finding other ladies with special skills of their own.
Disco Rough #1: ZickZack Records
My best friend just made this zine so I guess it isn't my place to tell you that it's a fascinating, insightful and ridiculously amazing read. BUT - I think it's OK if I tell you what it's about and then you can make up your own mind.
Disco Rough is a collection of interviews with some guys that were in a bunch of seminal German new wave bands in the early eighties.
The Style Syndicate
Local style observer Stefanie Acworth has taken her faux-fashion ideology from the blog world to the printing press. The Style Syndicate is the tongue-in-cheek equivalent of Borat's Mankini, but with the sass of a Bold and the Beautiful protagonist. This 25 page zine tells the truth about legwarmers (that they must DIE), clearly outlines the social acceptability of Havaianas and asks if the real Snuggie maker will please stand up - we need to hold someone responsible for this blanket with sleeves fiasco.
BATS Issue #5
You know when you see groups of old bitties sitting around talking about their grand-grand-grand kids and generally looking awesome? In the Balkans, those ladies are known as the spice girls. Not because they're trying to emulate some horrendous pastiche stardom, but because they've got the sugar and the spice; ask them just about anything, and they'll know the answer.
