The Factsheet 5 of DIY comics! A neat little collection zine featuring a page with a teaser sampling from 21 different self published comics. It piqued my interest in a few things just by just featuring a few panels from each comic, allowing you to decide for yourself. Features an interview with Carrie McNinch.

An excellent in-depth analysis of the Zapatista rebellion and movement, from the English ultra-left journal Aufheben. It provides a good overview of class warfare in Mexico, and specifically delves into the class composition and struggles of the Indigenous people of Chiapas. Particularly interesting is the critical appraisal of the EZLN, their supporters, and their critics from the 'ultra-left'.

This zine is geared as a resource towards hackers, phreakers, technologists, and people interested in learning more about these topics. It talks about people's experiences with how to handle problems they've faced, entertaining stories, news, and how-to articles (like how to remove software wrappers and save any sound). One article talks about how file sharing is equivalent to the printing press in its function to society. I felt this was an interesting read and while my interest in these topics is marginal at best these days this kept me interested the whole way through.

When Portland was cool, there was an amazing thing called Gracies - a collective without collectivizing, whose main objective was creating fun and absurdity. Besides a series of weekly brunches, Gracies produced three different movies. All of these "Somewhat Rapid Movie Projects" were created from concept to watchable film--in a very short period of time (48 to 72 hours!) Do You Copy was created in the Dirty Winter of 2002 in a spurt of fevered creativity.

At Copy Maker, Brian has been trying to get his order filled for weeks but their "special" machine keeps ruining his print job. Jason and Peter, despite gross incompetency, attempt to stall him while completing other print jobs, ignoring the weirdness of their clientele. They escape to fantasy worlds and fight mutant aliens on their hunt for the double sided transmutation crystals. Who is the bigger asshole, the boss or the customer?

Witness a great slice of Portland history, and a fun movie to boot. Featuring Joe Biel as a robot and some other zinesters scattered about.

A comprehensive guide (specifically geared to be woman friendly, though usable by anyone) to making your own film or video from the ground up.

Also has a giant supplemental resource guide to classes, organizations, places to submit films to, web resources, books, and movies. A great guide for the budding filmmaker.

A good, short, introduction to anarchist ideas. There is probably more rubbish talked about anarchism than any other political idea. Actually, it has nothing to do with a belief in chaos, death and destruction. Anarchists do not normally carry bombs, nor do they ascribe any virtue to beating up old ladies.It is no accident that the sinister image of the mad anarchist is so accepted. The State, the press and all the assorted authoritarian types, use every means at their disposal to present anarchy as an unthinkable state of carnage and chaos. We can expect little else from power-mongers who would have no power to monger if we had our way. They have to believe that authority and obedience are essential in order to justify their own crimes to themselves. The TV, press and films all preach obedience, and when anarchy is mentioned at all, it is presented as mindless destruction.

Stacks of odd zines we have in bulk or just whatever we have extra lying around. Anyone is welcome to donate their zines for us to distribute in this manner! A good mix of things. Typically contains Slug & Lettuce, Give Me Back!, The New Scheme, Slingshot, Verbicide, Ugly Planet, duplicates from the IPRC library, rejected zine submissions, and zines that our old roommates leave after they move out of the house! If you want to avoid duplicates, it's suggested that you only order one grab bag!

A collection of short videos made in Portland about bicycles. The films are really creative and varied. If you've been hearing a lot about all of the crazy bicycle stuff in Portland but didn't really know what was going on, this is a good introduction to it. Many of the facets of the Portland alternative bike community are represented here including ZooBomb, Bike Polo, Chunk 666, bike hauling and transportation, and some more creative artistic things (like the bicycle audio project). The collection leaves you with a feeling that you could not only go out and ride a bike but also make a short film about it! DVD cover by Shawn Granton (ten foot rule).

Yeah! I won't say that this rose from the ashes of Heartattack, but I will say that HC is missed, and that Give Me Back has a lot of good positive energy from the start. There's a solid interview about sexual assault with the groups Philly's Pissed, and Philly Stands Up, who work with survivors, and perpetrators, respectively, and interviews with the bands Tiny Hawks, and Envy. The zine works in a standard MRR-y format, articles, record and zine reviews, columns, but hey, around here we haven't missed an issue of MRR in a long while, so I'd say that's a compliment. Many little birds have told me they still need advertisers too, so get in touch with them about running ads for your zine/distro/tour/punk-as-all-get-out projects!

The long-anticipated second issue of the "new" HeartattaCk! This issue remains positive and strong - featuring interviews with Desk Ark, Hey Girl!, Daitro, World/Inferno Friendship Society, and Deep Six Records. The standard MRR format remains but the design is starting to move out on its own. Fil is a good photographer which helps it look nice, and the editors and writers are strong as well. Articles, record and zine reviews, columns, ads, and lots of controversy about voting this time around. All in all, it's pretty solid - whether you want to read about New Orleans, DIY health, relationships, teaching, strong women, and much more!

This issue begins with columns on the evils of MySpace, The Down There Health Collective and HPV awareness, a kindergarten teacher's accounts of her students' journal entries, and more. Its packed with photos from the shows you wanted to go to, but if you couldn't make it, you'll feel like you were there after reading awesome interviews with bands Margaret Thatcher, Ultra Dolphins, No Age, and Seasick. This issue is also full of record reviews so you won't be at a loss next time you head to the record store. We know you won't be disappointed by another excellent publication from Give Me Back.

This is the premier quarterly journal of anarcho-primitivist thought. It typically includes articles from people like Ted Kayznski, John Zerzan, and other experts and free thinkers in the primitivist movement from around the world.
