So here's 2008. I always become a little more sentimental at this time of year, due to reflecting back on the year that just passed, the over indulgence of new years eve and the cold outside. So there goes 2007. Better get a move on and make some zines.
Just a quick one to let you know we are crawling out from our warm, snug, fairy lit Christmas blanket. We're reaching for cameras and note pads and some spare change for the photocopier. First zine will most likeley be a booklet dedicated to polaroids (one of the pictures is above). The images were taken over a period of two years at different locations around the south of England. The zine will be made up of graph paper, card, tissue and string, with a badge to make yr brand-new-off-the-sale-rail knit wear all the more awesome. It wont cost a lot and should make a few people happy as long as our man Matt gets the photocopy levels just right!
We all got together for a mean curry just before Christmas. The boys from the north brought me a fine yorkshire ale in return for a mammoth quorn korma! It was nice to sit around a table and talk talk talk over mango chutney and lemon rice. Our food zine should be done in a while. Watch out for a whole lot of ingredients love, some guest recipes and a cassette with some really good bands on.
We'll hopefully be showing up at some gigs in the spring. There are a few dates we have our eyes on, so watch out for some zine clutching winos near you soon! If you'd like zines for a stall or just want to say hello, give us a shout here vivalapowerpop@hotmail.co.uk .
Currently getting a waves of inspiration from the Dada manifesto, the last mince pie, Nathan Fake, Tired Irie, Jack Kerouac, Werner Herzog and some good old fashioned Polish cooking.
Dans Le Matin is for anyone that enjoys zines, loves food and can pull mad shapes to Curtis Mayfield!
