(Leave it alone. By the Focl’s)
A group of geriatric anarchists are giving the Sex Pistols a run for their money and ruffling a few feathers in the little ol’ town of Colac. Members of the band ‘The Focl’s’ (Friends of the Colac Library) are causing disturbances in council meetings and vexing in the recording studio to express their objection toward plans for a new and improved library. Somebody call ‘Lawsie’…

Feeling pressured about what to buy for this month’s Hallmark day? To stop you from wandering around the shopping center in a fluorescent daze and picking up pre-boxed gift pack of crap we’ve made a list to ensure you don’t end up making your old man feel like a stale cat turd.

1. Hankies
Nothing tells your old man his personality is as barren as a nun’s nanny like hankies do. Instead try a pair of flares or a polyester shirt–some real boogie cloth.

2. Tie
A festive noose wow… how…exciting. Why don’t you try something less painful like a gas pipe attachment for his car or lethal dose of morphene?

Mills and Boon. Lady Porn. Erotic fiction.
No matter what you call it, it has long been purely considered the realm of sad middle aged women. However, there is a group of self-proclaimed ’smart bitches’ that doth protest! Smart Bitches, Trashy Books is a little gem of a site that reviews those books that most of us would pass by with a giggle. To the shock of all, some of this trash sounds like pretty good reading.

If design and art books are your thing, particularly graffiti books, come July 1st, be on the lookout for one that is a must to be on your shelves amongst your Graffiti World, Dondi White Style, Street Logos, collection of old sketch books, that limited edition vinyl toy and other good stuff that you put on there.

Being a survivor of the borrowed generation I suffer from a disease. A disease that lays common amongst so many of my infected peers. That sickness my friend, is most commonly referred to as ‘pro-crast-ination’. A dear friend of mine came up with a better term for it whilst attempting a two-thousand-word essay: ‘Taking a rain-check from my brain work out’, she mumbles to me through the phone as she simultaneously adds to the Facebook thread: who is the real Goss Fontana?
Oh, woe is me… woe is us! How will we ever get back on track? What shall motivate us? Give us our sweat, our fuel? I contacted a boring white collar jerk I know –through friends I don’t care for– on a phone I stole…

If you’ve been anywhere in Melbourne that sells decent zines you are sure to have come across ‘Just To Annoy You’ and, more than likely, you own one or two copies of it too.

‘Lucius painted this’
That sounds like something you might find written on a desk at your local high school but in fact, it’s a piece of graffiti found on the walls of ancient Pompeii in Rome. It’s the olden day equivalent of ‘Rob wuz ere.’

Cool… my housemates and I had this really stoned but highly intelligent conversation the other night. It was a boring Tuesday evening and Sydney Rd didn’t have anything to offer so, we started talking about zombies – of course.

Commercial media networks are starting to realise that nobody really wants to watch social rejects file their nails, pour copious amounts of liquor down their throats, climb under the dancing doona or run around the house dressed in some whacked out costume in order to get more liquor and start the whole degenerate process again.
We are however, still left with the desensitised aftermath of social acceptance that Big Brother is out there watching our every move. Welcome to CCTV, yes they are everywhere but to what extent are we really being watched?
