Good zines

I want to start reading some zines. Got any recommendations lain?

>>6099 Playboy

Lainzine.org

The obvious is lainzine but 4/lit/ has their own zine as well (&amp). surfaces.cx has some decent pieces but you have to sift through a lot of edgy soykaf to get to it.

I mostly buy art zines, being most of the time fanart and fanfiction based on a specific media (vidya, book, cartoon,...) or can sometime be about OCs too

Some public libraries in Canada and the US used to have zine racks, dunno about now. All of the writers I followed either grew out of it or starting publishing books, though I do miss reading piles of zines and listening to music all day.

>>6165 Thanks, I didnt see that in the catalog.

>>6099 A few I've read, it's probably surface level stuff though. ERISIAN Blackfog zine Cough Syrup magazine (also The DXM Zine if you're into that) Hello from the wired zine

kohlzine

>>6099 Neko Girl Magazine has been a nice pandemic present of reading material for me so far. Good mix of creative writing and theory: https://www.nekogirlmagazine.com/

>>6179 Do you have any recommendations on art zines for me?

the redscarepod sub has a zine called exitprocess, mostly experimental writing. It's got a neat design and quality writing, and submissions for issue 2 are open for another 5 days.

Anylain have any recommendations for architectural magazines?

>>6137 I know this might have been a joke but if you can get a hold of a torrent of old Playboys the articles aren't actually bad. One of the first places Fahrenheit 451 was published was in the 1954 issues of Playboy. As for zines I've enjoyed the ones published by A24 otherwise I just read a bunch of local zines. Try local record stores or shops designed to appeal to punk/ metal heads.

You use the Internet to find information now, especially illegal information, obscure information, and illegal obscure information is so punk/metal. You cannot publish illegal information, overly disgusting information, overly sexual information in a magazine, especially now after we've left the 'Golden Age of Porn', and everyone is overly politically correct, even on places like this and in modern "Punk" groups, so why would I buy one if I were looking to be punk? It's almost like it's a consumerist identity. Magazines were only useful because we didn't have the Internet back then, and now with the Internet being so affordable, and so easy to access, who would want to go back? >>6849 >bo burnham This magazine looks like it's bullshit for dumb gay hipsters. Also reportoftheweek is boring and unfunny. His weird kid in a suit style is boring and tame, and needs to stop being seen everywhere, as he is unfunny. His style is the opposite of "Punk"..

>>6850 also 'Kitan Club' is the best magazine ever

>>6850 Who said this was about being punk? Zines are good because they are easily accessible collections of interesting physical information and pictures you pour over on the soykafter. >You cannot publish illegal information, overly disgusting information, overly sexual information in a magazine Samizdat publications are (were?) great for this, at least illegal information. And nobody regulates or can regulate physical publication so you can do whatever you want. We can see that in China where the internet is heavily regulated, physical media is the only real way to spread a message out far without getting disappeared as all virtual routes are too locked down. The internet isn't invincible.

>>6231 Wonder if there's still going to be a 22nd issue or if it's no longer welcome on kohlchan after the Slovenian's fight with the admins.

I am currently attempting to upload the complete Collapse zine (8 Volumes collected by Robin Mackay) onto the sharethread, however am being met with difficulties. They are simply a few megabytes but still seem to refuse to upload. Either way, these prove to be a beautiful addition to this sort of postcybernetic philisophical outcry that lainchan seems to represent anyhow. Here are links to the site I was able to locate all of these eight volumes. Volume I- https://u1lib.org/book/843151/cbf22c?dsource=recommend Volume II- https://u1lib.org/book/2168165/e78cf1 Volume III- https://u1lib.org/book/971831/8c637a?dsource=recommend Volume IV- https://u1lib.org/book/1070715/b0b2d2?dsource=recommend Volume V- https://u1lib.org/book/2883381/6648c2?dsource=recommend Volume VI- https://u1lib.org/book/2957505/813d8a?dsource=recommend Volume VII- https://u1lib.org/book/2884456/5f55eb?dsource=recommend Volume VIII- https://u1lib.org/book/2931521/94d606?dsource=recommend

>>6851 Is there a source to download all the Kitan Clubs? I know there's archive.org, but magazines don't load properly.

>>7463 Check out u1lib.org or bookgn.com Love you, lain. Be safe and smart. We are arriving into crucial times.

>>7467 Off-topic but I must know, what's the source of the images you're attaching? I like them a lot and can't seem to get anywhere with reverse image search. Just so I add something to this thread: The Mighty Lighthouse but it has no lain-related vibes.

>>7470 look hand drawn. likely oc.

>>7470 >>7471 They're just my bad doodles but thanks, lain! I have more if you're intersted. Its just a fun way to sort fragmented, abstract thoughts or ideas.

>>7472 Whoops, meant to attach this image.

>>7472 If you put them somewhere on the internet I'd be interested to know. I was hoping to find you did a lot of symbolic-heavy dialogue-free narrative panels (as I'm trying something similar) >>7470 I also meant to attach pdfs here but it seems people are having trouble uploading them here recently. The mighty lighthouse zines can be gotten here: https://theminutehour.com/zines/ (I submitted some art bits to it like the cover of vol1 issue 6)

>>7474 Wow! How greatly inspiring! That's essentially what I have been basing mine around. Makes me wanna go draw right now, thanks lain!

>>6850 >who would want to go back? Your view of progress and things being "outdated" is the wrong mindset. Physical content like zines are easy to pass around and distribute at a low cost. If you were to share these things on the internet, you would either be reliant on tech companies hosting your soykaf for free, or paying for a server host. And why choose just one form? Why not have both printed and physical zines? Sometimes websites go down, sometimes people don't have an internet connection, but want something to read and sometimes printed products are unavailable and they can only read online. If you want your work to reach as many people as possible, you would want to have different ways of people consuming it. The internet is not the answer to everything. Sometimes people just want to pick something up and read without any extra steps.

>>6099 I don't know if it's still active but bikezine has 3 releases. gopher://bike-zine.org

https://n-o-d-e.net/zine/index.html

>>7447 Can you reupload this using pomf2.lain.la? links are dead

This zine satirically discuss evolutionary theory through the lens of electrical grids. I share it only for academic purposes, that we might discuss where along the line obsession contorts to madness

>>7594 Bruh.... This is seriously the most amazing and impressive zine i've seen in my life. I only managed to read VOL 2, the zip format of VOL 1 has some problems, but it's more than enough for now, i'm still paralyzed from awe.

Texfiles.com has some decent hacker zines archived. Unfortunately, the site is down right now. >>6850 >magazines You seem confused about what a zine is. There's a difference between a magazine and a zine. Zines are usually self-published, self-printed, and self-distributed. They're a staple of the punk scene, even today, and not knowing this really just outs you as someone trying to pretend to be knowledgeable about punk culture despite never taking part in it. >You cannot publish illegal information, overly disgusting information, overly sexual information in a magazine zines in the punk scene are almost always just one person or small group of people (often working pseudonymously or anonymously) and a copy machine. There's no regulatory body that tells them what they can and can't publish. >It's almost like it's a consumerist identity. I've rarely seen a zine that wasn't either free or sold at cost.

>>8843 s/Texfiles/Textfiles Post too short

>>8843 >texfiles.com obviously down if you use the incorrect URL, retard. add a T and check again, because it just worked for me 10 sec ago.

>>8840 no problem, I uploaded both the PDFs for more convenient viewing. Here you go: VOL1: https://anonfiles.com/y0L9G6m1z2/NODE_VOL_01_pdf VOL2: https://anonfiles.com/q5L9G4m4z0/NODE_VOL_02_pdf

Found something totally cyberpunk while browsing textfiles.com, a collection of old digital zines for the C64 (you can easily run these on WinVICE) http://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/12671/c64.rulez.org.tar/c64.rulez.org/pub/c64/Magazines

https://archive.org/details/ravezines?tab=collection Here are some zines from the 90s rave scene. Some are neat.

>>8883 Very cool, thanks lain.

>>7447 pls reupload, the links are dead

Reminds me of a comic i made back in the day but with better writting.

https://www.heterotopiaszine.com/ heterotopia is mixing up game design and architectural theory. a lot of free articles available, can't seem to find free pdfs of the actual zines though

>>6099 >here are some of my personal favorites sadly, most of the mondo2000 entries were taken down. https://archive.org/details/mondo2000issue6 https://archive.org/details/mondo2000issue7 https://archive.org/details/mondo2000issue8 https://archive.org/details/mondo2000issue9 https://archive.org/details/mondo2000issue10 >Future sex https://archive.org/details/Future.Sex.Issue.01 https://archive.org/details/Future.Sex.Issue.02 https://archive.org/details/Future.Sex.Issue.04 https://archive.org/details/Future.Sex.Issue.05 https://archive.org/details/Future.Sex.Issue.07 follow the rabbit hole very interesting time period, anything within that timothy leary cohort really https://archive.org/details/ChaosAndCyberCulture

>>6099 &amp magazine, baby. lampbylit.com !

>>9745 They got their account suspended somehow and don't know how long they have been this way. Hopefully they can come back soon because there is only a single issue backed up on archive.org and my downloaded copy of the 18th edition. It's a great magazine!

>>9924 I can't speak to the quality of the zine, as I haven't read it yet. That said, the site seems to be up, and all of the issues seem to be available. I'd take the time to back them up to the Internet Archive if I were you.

I enjoy Fren-Z Magazine. Nice schizo energy. Not sure they're still going.

>>9745 >>9924 >>9930 >>6164 Here's a best-of collection I made from 4/lit/'s &amp: https://the-best-of-amp.github.io/ The writing was selected by myself and 4/lit/ anons in the fall of 2022, then I assembled the thing and did a lot of editing over the last couple years. The latest PDF is attached, though corrections have been coming in and the page above should always link to the most up-to-date version. (I tried making a post about this and it got deleted not long after; maybe because of a Lulu link? I've set the margin to be $0, so I'm not making any money off this.)

Does 2600 count? I hear PHRACK is issuing a new issue soon
