Hopefully this will encourage some mindful consumption! It's a quick and simple quiz to help you decide if you really want to buy a piece of clothing or if it's a trend.

[konzilijum]

The next issue of our zine will include album recommendations, so suggest an album and a screenshot of your reply may be included. :)

Hey remember VHS where you bought a box to plug into your tv and you could legally record whatever was playing and then own it for free forever

PART TWO OF KONZILIJUM POST

[konzilijum]

FIRST ISSUE OF OUR ZINE IS OUT

:3

Finally after a little longer than expected (that's why the playlist says october!) 'Konzilijum' is out!!

It's still in developing stages and might not be perfect.

Since tumblr only allows 10 pictures, the rest will be posted separately. But a pdf will be out after we scan it!

Btw, like our other zines it's free to print and share!

Feel free to give some feedback in the comments.

[konzilijum]

After a long hiatus, our zine will hopefully be posted tomorrow!!

YOUR RIGHTS ACCORDING TO THE CLASH: a mini zine made by me!

[konzilijum]

sneak peak into...

FIRST ISSUE OF KONZILIJUM! :)

Our independent (maga)zine, inspired by punk fanzines from 80s/90s, striving to spread education for *free* (you will be allowed to print it and share it yourself if you want, too).

This month's issue will contain a variety of articles (analysis of "The silence of the lambs", album of the month "Smak" (1975), feminist discussion of internalised misogyny, "Glass menagerie" short essay, playlist of the month, etc.!)

I think everyone needs to know this skill tbh!! Perhaps Internet won't shut down soon or something, but they can always make streaming more expensive and add tons more ads to youtube until it becomes useless.

Plus a lot of underground songs are disappearing as you read this. Go burn your fav artist/songs on a CD before it's too late ngl.

Punk 101: Burning CDs

People seemed to like my post about how I started burning CDs again, and @olyve-oyle requested that I make a ‘how to’ for people who like to have physical copies of their music, so, here you go!

Disclaimer: There are tons of ways to get music illegally. I’m not going to explain those here for legal reasons, but there are plenty of resources out there that describe how to get music off of youtube, spotify, and tidal. However, Im always going to suggest that you buy your music, if able.

Supplies:

CD-Rs (not CD-ROMs, CD-ROMs are read only disks and you cant save new data to them once they have been created)

CD-RW Drive on your computer (you can also buy one that connects to your computer or laptop since a lot of computers dont have one anymore) RW stands for Read/Write, its what lets you burn a CD

An application like itunes (free accounts are perfectly fine) Windows Media Player also works, but I personally use itunes

Optional but Suggested: Cases

Optional: Craft supplies to decorate cases

Step 1: Obtain Music

There are a couple legal ways to do this. 1. Buy a CD (I typically get mine from thrift stores or my Dad’s old collection to make my own playlists) 2. Buy specific songs you want online. These can all be uploaded to you computer or itunes account

Step 2: Create Your Playlist

Any playlist will work, but it’s important to know how long your CD-Rs burn for. Most typically burn for 90 minutes, so keep your playlist under that. Heres the one I used for this *Note I just threw random stuff together*:

Step 3: Burn To CD-R

Admittedly I only know how to do this on itunes, so heres images showing how, and the settings that I use when burning

Step 4: Decorate

I like to use craft paper and sharpies. Just don’t draw on the bottom of the disk

Step 5: Listen To Your New CD

Remembering Janis Joplin: The Woman Behind ‘Sex, Drugs and Rock n’ Roll’

Drunk on life stoned on beer. Texas girl, Odetta, choir girl, uneducated. Records found, you love life again… up until the age of ten. Those manly shaped shoulders that shook your friends into lust. Liberated liberated. Sad and tired, got to get away. Mother hurt me please! but you can’t make me stay.

The woman made her way to San Francisco. Music, laughter, sorrow in the night. Hollowed prayers disgust in eyes. She sang her way in. Speed freak. Her nipples are cold. They refuse to sing along.

Sister smiles father spits. Devotion has been a lifelong regret.

She joined signed sighed. But she is not silent. Screams of rage, still no success. All I’ve given, everything at best. Tell them Janis of amazing letdowns. Tell them how your bones poke right through. Shaking. Desire. Empty, half full. Black magic fell into the mind of the young like a life of sin. Sailors, saviors. Here to stay, are ya. Ball n’ chain.

Bourbon-fueled raw gutsy, amazement. You felt held back, no more piece of heart to break. Move over, unacceptable lady. Stick it in puke it out, like a crucifix error.

Return to the hole, they laughed once more. Laughable. People dancing as tomorrow isn’t a myth pledged allegiance the power of acceptance. No care in the man’s land, but you do care. Couples naked in the caress of doubt. Your heart burnt the crowd, confessions and contempt. There ain’t nothing like the real thing baby. This is the way, Pearl the way to the very end. Dated in passion and sensitivity. You killed your selves grasping at your weapon of love; you wore your vulnerability like some splinter-covered glove.

Early morning dark, dark night you took too much of what felt good. Craving distraction seeking sense. Home stalking, no more walking. Cause the Kozmic Blues surrendered with abuse. Number twenty-seven shot on your back, the twenty-seventh attack. This is the end, my only friend.

Vintage store, half-ripped book. Staggered kid, hunched view on life, stay away attitude, isolated. Opening the book, a light shot straight into the heart of a poorly cultured kid. Perspective gained. Intensely reading examining pondering. That’s how I found Janis, sitting on my bed, mesmerized by the treasure in my hands. My seventh-grade self would be amused by the fact that that same paper is loudly laying next to me at this very moment. The blues are blasting in the kitchen. And I’m remembering the exact moment she moved me: *freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose*. I didn’t know what I wanted until it found me, until she found me. And I bet ya can relate, hey. Break the broken, they bleed in blue. Sing the songs, Lord know’s they’re true. Measuring misinterpretations, the space between our hearts. Blues oh blues you flame-throwing love!

Early mornings still remind me of you. I’m utterly lost in the translation of your ways. Oh how the people mourn, how we cry out to you. You’re wine, a stain. There are dead roses with your name now your luck is merely rotten, eaten-at flesh. The power in your voice brings the blues to life; there wasn’t a thing you wouldn’t sacrifice.

Tearing up rn I love this so much :')

I will never understand people who throw something away the moment it breaks/stops working/goes out of fashion. Isn't there so much more satisfaction in fixing it or at least making something new out of it?

Tho I understand, we live in capitalism and companies make stuff easily breakable and unfixable on purpose and not everyone has time for that.

a comic about printers

I remember seeing a post a couple months back of someone talking about printer troubles and companies making them bad deliberately, like pointlessly different screw sizes and a lying no-usb-compatibility sticker

If someone knows it please tell me, I'm pretty sure I remember it had good resources on a youtube channel that teaches you how to fix stuff!

[konzilijum]

Both are self-expression, but I totally agree man there sure is a certain pressure to make everything perfect especially for social media, unfortunately algorithm doesn't favour shitty looking zines so it doesn't reach as many people :-( rlly wish it did tho especially for urgent issues where u don't have time to make it look nice

Make DIY look like shit again.

Zines don't have to be artsy. They can look like shit, and not in the "I'm still actually great at drawing" way. Immediacy is an aesthetic. Making something quick and in the fury of making is just as important as carefully planned pretty pictures. There are no actual rules!
