Lizzy / marching stars distro's Blog (11)

Basically I suck at writing zine descriptions for the distro and a couple of years ago I came up with the idea of trading zines for descriptions of them. It's been working really well,



I send you 4 or 5 zines for free (you get to keep them). You send me a description of the zines so I can use them on the distro website. You'll get full credit for the description and I can link to your blog or website. Sound like a good deal? Email me at distro@marchingstars.co.uk



If you've… Continue

1. Can I stock your zine maybe? Continue

I have 6 zine grab bags. Mixture of stuff, mixture of sizes.... around 7-10 zines in each.

Photo of zines and letter I will be returning removed at Zac's request.



Thought I'd do this publicly so I don't get accused of being unreasonable/mean/evil/whatever.



I will be returning some of Zac's zines that I received for distro stock with the following note:



It is with regret that I am unable to stock your zines and have to return them to you. Since receiving them for stock it came to my attention that some of your comments on a blog post on WMZ go… Continue

2) Still looking to trade zines for descriptions! I send you 3/4 zines for free and you send descriptions of them in return. Email me if you're interested: distro@marchingstars.co.uk

Hop A Plane (to yet another Tegan and Sara show)

1/2 sized, 40 pages, £1.



I love Tegan and Sara. I took a year off between school and university. Between August ‘07 - September ‘08 I saw Tegan and Sara play 27.5 times in 8/11 countries (depending on how you count).

I kept a diary for 22 of those shows.



This is the padded out version of that diary, complete with lovely pictures and other random things I… Continue

- Random observations from… Continue

Hello there!



Wow, can't believe it's been 2 years already! And what a fantastic, amazing, incrediable 2 years it's been! I never dreamt when I opened marching stars with about 12 zines it would grow into what it has today. The last year has been difficult at university, but I was determined to prove everyone who said "all distros close when the owner goes to university" wrong!



Thank you SO… Continue

Biggest distro update ever I think!

Two things:

1) It's 1.15am, I've been updating for hours. The site will be riddled with mistakes - if you come across any, please let me know!

2) Still looking to trade zines for descriptions! I send you a zine for free and you send a description of it in return. All of the following are going to need them! Email me if you're interested: distro@marchingstars.co.uk



zines new in stock

Adventures in Menstruating… Continue

After an inspiring weekend at Ladyfest Manchester and a very seriously dented distro stock I have decided it is time for new zines, lots of them.



marching stars distro (www.marchingstars.co.uk) is a 16 month old UK based distro which has hopefully now proved it has staying power in these unstable distro times.



Zines that I choose to stock I am 110% behind and I so take seriously my role of helping to get zines out there in the world to the right people. Oh, and I freaking… Continue
