Hi there!
There seem to be like a dozen people who'd like a new Crucial 'Zine shirt, so it seems more than likely that I'll get a new batch printed. The design is http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/1134/shirttarrot1.png
I want to print them with GOLD ink, on RED and PURPLE (for the guys) and CHERRY RED and NAVY BLUE (for the girls), so they will look a bit like this, according to my photoshop wizardry:

(I can't quite get 'gold' in the palette and used yellow for the print instead, but use your imagination a bit and it's not too far off)
Like the last ones, they will be printed on Gildans Heavy (in guy sizes) and Gildans SoftStyle (in girl sizes), in case you are curious about the sizes/fit and will cost £6. They are known to make you look about 40% more attractive than the average Hollywood star, particularly when you're losing your mind in some epic mosh to a Floorpunch cover.
If you would like a DIFFERENT coloured shirt, that should be fine let me know and I will forward you a chart of what's available, but bear in mind that the print WILL be in gold ink (it costs me extra to change it), so please don't ask for a different ink colour.
Anyway, if you want one, send me a message (via Facebook or Myspace) with your shirt size and colour and I'll make a note of it. Ideally I'll get these printed in November, so get in touch soon! I can either meet up with you locally when they are ready, or mail yours out to you.
Laters!

Issue #7!
Hi there everyone! Issue #6 has been out for a couple and so far, the response has been positive. Actually, there were a couple valid points about some of the content, but you can probably read about that in the next issue. A dark sense of humour and out of context comments can give people the wrong impression, but whatever.
Anyway, I'm starting to get some ideas rolling for issue 7. I'd like to have this one ready for early/mid December 2010, and this time I want to keep this promise. This will also be the final Cambridge-based issue, so I am hoping it will be the best one so far. I'm submitting my research degree in December and after that I will be moving back to the land of souvlaki and frappé, in a strategic move to bring Crucial 'Zine nearer to the birthplace of Western Civilisation and taint it all. Swish huh?
So basically if you'd like to contribute something for the next issue, whether it's interviews, ranting, reviews, pretty/fucked up drawings, pictures of cool shows/kids moshing or skating, your non-vegan and seriously bacon-focused recipes, the deadline is 15th of November. That gives me enough time to slap together layouts and avoid having my head explode when I should be worrying about wordcounts and references. I wanted to have a load of different covers for issue #6 (because I am still a comic book geek), like one for every 100 copies, but that failed for a bunch of reasons (mostly me not chasing up artists enough), so if you think you've got some mad skills with a pen or whatever, I'd especially be interested and give this another shot. If you're the sort of chatty person who doesn't mind taping random conversations with cool bands when you're drunk, I'd also appreciate interviews. Reviews are always welcome too, but if you're going to write about how awesome your mate's Rancid/'generic emo'/indie/trendy 'fusion'-like band is, I will tell you to fuck off (fuck off). Write about demos or records you got given/bought at a show and tell me how awesome or horrible they were. But yeah, I'm all ears.
If you are interested in getting your ideas out to 500 people all over the world, get in touch with me and we can brainstorm. The best way to do that is to either send a message through myspace or facebook, or if you're local, you can shout at me when you see me down the pub or a gig.
In the meantime, make sure you get the new Punch or Coke Bust record on your prefered media player device and take it easy.
