diskant zine action
Posted: August 4th, 2008, by Marceline SmithAs the diskant party approaches, everything is starting to come together. I now have fifty copies of the diskant zine, a 32 page photocopied jaunt through the last ten years of diskant. It’s basically lots of short bits of writing that caught my eye as I trawled the archives but makes for a fantastically good read.
Here’s the content line-up:
– Summer 2008 Catch-up by the diskant team (June 2008)
– Bargain Bin Culture by Wil Forbis (April 2002)
– Honey Is Funny by Chris Summerlin (April 2003)
– Mild Head Injury by Simon Minter (July 2002)
– Some Kind of Monster by Dave Stockwell (September 2004)
– Instal 05 by Marceline Smith (October 2005)
– The Owls Are Not What They Seem by Alex McChesney (July 2006)
– Magik Markers, twice by Joe Luna (May 2006)
– Liquid Blue by Fraser Campbell (June 2005)
– Super Quick Primavera Roundup by Ollie Simpson (June 2007)
– “Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him” by Ross McGivern (December 2003)
– Slint by Chris Summerlin (April 2005)
The unlinked items are columns which we will be re-posting at some point in the future. However, you can read them NOW (or in a few days anyway) by purchasing a copy right here in my shop for a mere £1. You can also buy copies at the diskant 08/08/08 party of course.
If you’re one of the people involved in the above works of genius, email me for your free copy.
