Blog: Doomzine Variations

Today is the last working day of the month, which means that the latest edition of the newsletter has been UNLEASHED!

This month's issue is PACKED with stuff, much of which revolves around the release of Data and Doctor Doom - The Zine online. If you read the newsletter and/or the main page for the zine you will see that there is a MILDLY COMPLICATED variety of versions of this available, which I would like to take the time to EXPLAIN if I may.



There are TWO (2) main complicating factors going on. The main one is that it is SUCH a colossal pain in the wotsits these days to send anything abroad from the UK that my dears I simply cannot face trying to do it. Many years ago I used to delight in bagging up piles of jiffy bags and taking them to the post office near my work, but these days there IS no such post office near my main place of work (i.e. at home) and Brexit and Trump and so forth mean it is RIDICULOUSLY expensive to send anytning anywhere, and so I have regretfully decided to limit PHYSICAL sales of the zine to the UK.

However, to avoid DENYING my non-UK chums the chance to DELIGHT in the zine, I HAVE made it available as a digital item, which you can buy via Bandcamp as part of the Like Batman But Better single. Bandcamp doesn't let you sell JUST a PDF, so I've bundled it together with the single so that, in a way, you get FREE MUSIC to go with it as well!



This leads me to the second complicating factor, which is that I do like to send FREE MUSIC to people when they buy stuff directly from me. This is because I am VERY GENEROUS and in no way because I've got cupboards full of free stuff that I need to clear out. I've been doing this for YEARS and am highly aware that long term customers will probably already have most of the stuff that I'm GENEROUSLY offloading, so this time I thought I'd give people a CHOICE! THUS if you go to the main page for the zine you'll find that there is a RANGE of options for items you can select alongside the zine, including one for people who have got quite enough of my stuff already!

I hope that all makes sense, and apologies again to all non-UK pals for not doing international sales this time. If only someone would bring Indietracks back then we could all meet up in the merch tent again!
