 We
started this page back in 1996. in really rough times (for Yugoslavia)
cause we wanted to express our feelings and creativity on various topics
based on punk. Punk like attitude and way to do things. Punk like mean
of connection and communication. You all accepted us really well and showed
us the way with all you letters, CDs, LPs, E-mails, zines and all the other
stuff. Big thanks to all of you folks! At the beginning, we just wanted
to put out some of our works out on the web. Then I got idea to make a
zine. I really wanted it to be just like "any other" paper zine (stuff
to read, pics to see, people to get in touch with...) with one difference...you
don't turn pages with hands but with mouse click instead.
We
do prefer "paperwork" in zine-making but here (in this prick of the world
...) only way to keep running a zine is to starve (this is not over reacting!)
and spare money to photocopy your zine, to pay postage and other bureaucratic
shit to spend loads of time on your work. So, we thought : internet is
also a media, just like (news)paper, radio... it is a way of conforming,
obeying, consuming (?) but... people use it (just like other media...)
and it's maybe even a better chance for punk to reach some "ordinary" people.
Later we tried to make the first paper version of S.C.A.B., and surprisingly
we did it great and we're very proud of it. Now we're trying to keep our
paper zine coming out more frequently.
Using
internet is not conforming, obeying... at least for me! For me it's a great
way to be subversive! Whole empire is based on computers! A chance to change
it could be right there. This is a way of letting people know that some
kind of real alternative and resistance and revolt exists... But even if
you don't want to change the world right away, doing this (zine and stuff...)
is a way of continuing to be sane (and sound). It's fun. Simply, I like
doing this. I like to hear that Dave from Scotland, Cindy from Australia,
Henrike from Brazil, Brent from Canada actually like and cheer what I am
doing here. As the number of visitors to this place increases, I'll be
getting more and more arrogant and fame-loving... but that's O.K. At least
you won't have to read these emo(tional) disasters. Hey, I'm not kidding!
If you don't start to send me some financial goods and fan-mail, I'll be
forced to continue bothering you with personal problems!
