Lost in words – a Beat Motel special edition

Published October 27, 2011 by lawsie 2 Comments

lost in words zine cover

The glorious ‘Sticky Institute‘ (a.k.a. Sticky Distro) in Australia put out a call to zinesters they have stocked asking them to make a special edition zine to raise some cash to keep their doors open.  There really is nothing like Sticky in the UK (certainly not that I know of) so by my reckoning it ought to be supported by anyone who has ever read or created a zine.  Although my zine Beat Motel hasn’t done much recently I decided to flog its good name for any remaining good will that might be lurking and have created a (sort of) special edition.

Whereas Beat Motel was traditionally a home for music, daft band interviews, columnists and toilet humour the special edition is a collection of (very) short bits of fiction by yours truely, with a few other contributions chucked in to queer the quality curve.

Twenty Five copies of ‘Lost in words’ were printed and posted to Sticky to flog at a big zine event they were reprazenting, but due to the gloriously odd economics of zine printing I printed a few extra (not many mind) and if you’re quick enough with your mouse and your typing digits you can buy one of these extra special Beat Motel editions.

  • Compulsory random life obsolescence
  • Dig for Victor
  • Duck stuck in fence
  • Football and machismo turned to my advantage, finally!

    not even a crowbar could keep me away!

    I must remember to get them zineses posted to you too! Been hectic times recently, though I'm sure not a patch on your recent busy-ness!
