OSCAR'S EYE #1

Interviews with Tommy Comstock and Encyclopedia, lots of articles and stories, guest columns and reviews.
A5, £1

OSCAR'S EYE #2/THE COMPUTERS ARE TURNED OFF FOR A REASON #4
TCATOFAR is another ex-Time Bomb zine. Oscar's Eye includes a travel journal and review of the Rotterdam Rumble 2006, a couple of rambles, record, zine & book reviews. Computers has interviews w/ Facial Disobedience & You Can't Say No To Hope zines plus the usual stories and reviews.
A5, £1

WARM CARLING AKA OSCAR'S EYE #2.5
None left at the moment, more coming soon!

TIME BOMB #9
Guildford based music zine. This issue features interviews with Random Heroes and yo-you celebrity Yo Hans, a report on the South Coast 5-A-Side football tournament, personal columns and reviews.
A5, £1

LET'S JUST PRETEND #4
Interviews w/ Raise The White Flag, Against Me!, Routine Check, The Cut Ups & Comeback Kid alongside articulate rants & hilarious rambling zine & record reviews. Includes bonus A5 supplement! Mail order this and get a free badge.
Irregular size; A4 envelope should do it. £1.50

BEAT MOTEL #6
The best Beat Motel yet! Much more consistent in the columns department, interviews with Aflighttoremember, Invasion & Relapse plus tons of music & zine reviews, all injected with their own brand of childish humour. Excellent! Mail order this and get a free sticker.
A5, £1.50

THE ADVENTURES OF GEOFF; HALF SHARK, HALF OCTOPUS
Great Brighton based comic offering an insight into Geoff's life. Some great gags and ace artwork.
A5, £2.50

ABOUT MY DISSAPEARANCE
From the author of 'On Subbing' (see below) comes this zine, detailing the first five months of his struggle with Chrons disease.
A6, £1

FACIAL DISOBEDIENCE #5
New issue of the UK's finest personal zine. Similarities to Cometbus are inevitable since Phil tends to focus on day-to-day life and interview interesting people who aren't necessarily in bands. His raw yet reflective style is totally endearing and shows his beat influences. Get this!
A5, 50p

THE ANGEL'S SHARE #1
Personal and travel columns from some of the South Coast's premiere zinesters.
A5, free!

THE NEW WAVE OF CUT & PASTE #3
Unique zine in which editor Toby presents his stories, interviews and reviews through the use of clip art characters! There's interviews with Born To Run (a fucking Bruce Springsteen tribute band, unreal!), Artcore fanzine and Off With Their Heads, plus loads of little bits and pieces throughout. I laughed out loud several times.
A5, £1

SWEET SHOP SYNDICATE #2
Awesome personal zine edited by Chris (12-oh-5, Last Hours) and Rich (of The Steal fame) and featuring tons of contributions from other people, too. Pretty much every piece in here is great. One of the UK's best.
A5, £1

GOOD IDEAS FOR TATTOOS
Anyone looking to get a tattoo could do a lot worse than the manatee with wings suggested within this zine! This is quite hard to describe without ruining the whole idea, but get this if you're in need of a laugh.
A6, 50p

BLACK LESBIAN PRESIDENT #2
Awesome Cardiff based music zine. An epic interview with State Run features alongside smaller ones with Four Dumb Kids, Defiance: Ohio, You Me And The Atom Bomb and Blanketarms. There's also the standard reviews and personal columns, but this is way above averaqge and definitely worth checking out.
A5, £1

BURN COLLECTOR #13
Al Burian is probably, technically, the most gifted zine writer of all time. Burn Collector is a collection of poignant and cotemplative writing that will make you want to drop what you're doing and hitchike to Rome. Can't reccommend this highly enough.
Weird size, but fits in an A5 envelope, £2

SUSPECT DEVICE #48
Suspect Device is one of the few consistently entertaining and regular music zines left in the UK, and this issue is no exception to that rule. Interviews with The Phoenix Foundation, The Steal, You Me & The Atom Bomb and a bunch more alongside columns and reviews.
A4, £1.50

LAST HOURS #15
I'm sure you know the drill by now. Interviews with Propagandhi, Adequate Seven, Defiance Ohio and many more alongside radical politics, personal columns and reviews.
A4, £2.50

ORDERING INFORMATION!

If ordering one or two zines/books
Either send a stamped addressed envelope to the address at the top of the page along with a note of what you want (please list alternatives or email first to check stock), send a cheque made payable to J.Tindall to the same address or Paypal cash to the email address at the top of the page (add 50p postage for one zine or 75p for two, and £1 for each book). If you're only ordering free stuff, just send an SAE.

If ordering three or more zines/books
Either send a cheque or Paypal cash. Again, please email first to check stock or list alternatives. The guide for postage is 50p for the first zine, 25p for each zine after that and £1 for each book.

If you're not sure about anything Just email and we can work out which method is best for your order.

NEW ZINES
I'm always on the look out for new zines of all kinds from all around the globe. If you do a zine and would like to see it on the distro, the best way to do it is trade five copies of Oscar's Eye zine for five copies of yours. As long as it isn't full of bigoted crap, I will always stock zines that are willing to trade. If you'd rather we dealt in money, you'll need to send one copy to the address at the top of the page and I'll consider whether I'd like to stock your zine or not.

UPDATED 1st March

I've just updated the original list, deleting the stuff I don't have anymore and adding Good Ideas For Tattoos and You Can't Say No To Hope/The Computers Are Turned Off For A Reason.

The distro box is a bit empty at the moment, but as a result, I've got plenty in the money tin. I've already ordered a couple of bits, and will post up the March list when everything's arrived. The next gigs I'll be taking the distro to will be these;
