Collected Utterances of Matte Resist(Resist #43)
46 pgs (5.5x4.25) This zine is a lot more personal than past issues. It's some stuff that i planned to use right after issue #41, but lost for a while. I found it all while finishing up #42. It's mostly a lot of short thoughts. Most pieces are handwritten and cover about 2 pages. to quote from the intro, "It's kind of a glimpse of the thought process that goes on between the diatribes i write for Resist. The stuff that exposes my nihilist/primitivist leanings and the despair that leads me there, and the love for my family that keeps me pushing for a better world. Sort of like finding pages of my journal blowing across your yard." $1.00 ought to cover it.
Resist #42
58 pgs (8.5x5.5) This one starts out with a bit of gardening and then goes into a piece on how to get a composting system started and keep it working efficiently. Then i go into a tirade against Wal-Mart that goes on for a few pages, with a number of reasons why you should patronize locally owned shops. a history of my obsession with bicycles that leads into instructions on how to build your very own cartbike. A piece about the Minneapolis May Day protests, and some bicycle advocacy. It wraps up with stuff about dumpster diving, DIY & some obligatory zine and music reviews. $1.50
Resist #41
58 pages (8.5x5.5") This issue has a ton of stuff about bicycling in it. Even more than usual i mean. I went to Chicago, and did critical mass and wrote about that. I wrote about the October CM in Mpls & included some clips from the paper. And then there's a piece about me getting hit by a car (again!) with suggestions at the end about what to do if it happens to you. Bethany (Talmadim) & I both write about Unschooling. There's some reveiws, gardening tips and misc. stuff in there too. $1.00
Resist 30?!
50 pages (8.5x5.5") I recently ran across a whole slew of Resist #30. This thing is super old! It's the 30th anniversary/end of the year(1998) spectacular! It has a short history of Resist & a lot of fighting against growing up. There's a bunch of stuff about travel in there, like a long story about our trip out to L.A. A lot of nostalgia, and some poetry by Dan Buck. Also a story by my friend Karrie, about one of her amazing trips. $1.00
Resist #40
48 pages (7 x 8.5") Much of this zine is more like a journal entry than the journalist voice i often try to use. I ramble on about gardening and bicycling and the may day march, jobs and getting a house. And then i take a shot at writing about workers rights and the Bloody Thursday/General Strike of 1934, as well as going on for a few pages about the benefits of unschooling ("dropping out" of school and teaching yourself.) There's some reviews and stuff too.$1.00
Resist #37
48 pages (7x4.25") This issue is packed with stuff. A huge piece on bicycling, another on gardening & anti-corporate farms, one on taxes, an anti-government piece, a diy on fixing a flat bicycle tire. reviews and etc.$1.00
Resist #39 (Postcard Issue #2)
This is pretty much the same thing as #38, except that this zine is 5.5x4.25 and is a few pages shorter, and has 2 postcards on a page instead of just one. About 2/3rds of this issue was submitted by students who were required to design and submit a postcard for their art class.$1.00
Resist #35
78 pages (5.5x4.25") A whole mess of stuff this issue. Stuff about unschooling, corporate welfare, work, personal stories and a whole lot of questioning of everything. some reviews mixed in too. $1.00
Resist #34
This is 52 pages (8.5x11") of travel stories(our trip to Illinois/Indiana), personal thoughts, punk politics(critical mass, respect, employment issues), copier art, and misc reviews (not many.) This issue's writers include myself, Holly Anne (Tree of Knowledge) and Elsee. It's just $1.00
