it's been a long month, going back and forth the south-east of france, playing bocce & making new friends. from the end of this month to the end of the next one, I'll be on a solo tour across europe and will bring out the bus stop press distro with me along the way. come by to hang out / trade or whatever. hopefully the cassettes of MUESLI, VELOCIRAPTOR, GIZ MEDIUM and the MMXIII comp will all be ready to come too.

GIZ MEDIUM (folk punk - nice, france)
playing & touring solo for a couple of years now, giz also played in punk bands in the french riviera like xtramedium, sriracha & cross division as well as in the ephemeral australian folk-punk combo vélociraptor. ranging from travelling tales and crushes to political rants, it brings a punk touch to the singer-songwriter routine.

croyez le ou non, il n'y avais pas de manifestation le premier mai à monaco, et je n'ai pas osé aller faire un black bloc tout seul. blague à part, ce mois de mais annonce pas mal de nouveauté sur bus stop press. côté zines, un re-stock de cheaptoys #10 & #11 ainsi que quelques copies des numeros #11.5 et 12 rapportés d'australie. niveau distro les nouveautés sont les trois numéros de JUGGLING THE RAINBOW, zine collectif sur le theme de la polyamory, le troisième opus de BASEMENTS & LIVING-ROOMS sur la scene des houseshows, ainsi qu'une série de zines par project bridget : RADICAL LINGUISTS #1 sur la critique de l'anglais comme lingua franca, THE IDEA OF THE NORTH, un perzine sur son travail de terrain comme linguiste dans une communauté aborigène du plateau de kimberley et VEGANISTAN, un zine de recettes vegan du moyen-orient. côté musique, le split LP REMEK/PAPER PLANE CRASH, second d'une série de trois est enfin dispo, ainsi que l'album de GLI ALTRI, et une poignée de séries de cassettes devrait suivre d'ici la fin du mois. en ce début de mois, la distro va être de sortie avec LUNCH (punk rock - salon de provence), qui partent faire un tour dans les balkans.

believe it or not, there were no demonstration on may day in monaco, and I didn't had the guts to get down the street and do a black bloc on my own. jokes aside, may announces a lot of new things on bus stop press. on the zine side, Cheaptoys #10 & #11 are back in print, and I brought back a few copies of #11.5 and #12 from australia. the new things on the distro are the three issues of JUGGLING THE RAINBOW, a collective zine about polyamory, the third installment of BASEMENTS & LIVING-ROOMS on the houseshow music scene, and a couple of zines by project bridget. REVOLUTIONARY LINGUISTS #1 is criticizing english as a lingua franca, THE IDEA OF THE NORTH is a perzine about a research fieldwork conducted in an aboriginal community in the kimberley area and VEGANISTAN is a compilation of vegan recipes from the middle east. On the label side, the REMEK/PAPER PLANE CRASH split LP, second in a series of three is finally available as well as GLI ALTRI's CD, and a bunch of cassette tape releases should be out by the end of the month. at the beginning of this month, the distro is going to travel with LUNCH (punk rock - salon de provence), who are going on a trip in the balkans.
