d PlsUR of d Txt.


d PlsUR of d Txt is a conceptual work where a work by Roland Barthes called The Pleasure of the Text has been translated into text messaging language. This process was undertaken with the aid of a peer-to peer online database called transl8it.com. In this online space textese users share their latest linguistic creations, something that in turn has been reciprocated at the close of the translation here, allowing a new generation of textese to enter open source.
“There are many different types of intelligence and this book aims to confuse anyone who holds on to our dusty, outdated academic assumptions. This book is an attempt at an Esperanto equivalent for our differing intelligences."

Self- publishing talk and film showing in Manchester



Shift Magazine- How to start your own publication  + Salford Zine Library film showing.



OK Cafe

6-7.30pm, Tuesday 25th Ocober.



The OKasional Cafe is squatted space which will hold a daily cafe, regular vegan meals and function as a radical space for meetings, organising actions, workshops and events.

It’s at 362 Wilmslow Rd, directly opposite the Ram & Shackle pub inFallowfield, a large red brick building with a ramp up to the front door.

Good Fuzzy Sounds

"It covers my own first experiences of fuzz and diy pedal-building, a detailed two-part history of early fuzzy sounds on records up to 1961, leading to the Maestro Fuzztone in the US and the Tone Bender in the UK, the growth of internet fuzz geek networks, the mythology of the mojo transistor, and interviews with Pepe Rush, an early fuzz innovator on the London scene, and Devi Ever, graduate of the internet DIY pedal scene and modern fuzz goodess. Plus 'my favourite fuzz', a true life story comic strip, drawings of all 33 of my fuzz pedals, and fuzz luminaries such as Gary Hurst, Vic Flick, Big Joe Sullivan, Lee Hazlewood, Glenn Snoddy, Craig Anderton and many more. It's all fuzz, all the time, printed in red on beautiful pale blue paper. It even explains what fuzz is if you don't happen to know. It's a winner!"
