There seems to be a bit of confusion in the air: This MySpace page is not Uncompressed Happiness; it is a represntation of it. Allow me to give an example of how that works: Just as your MySpace page is not you; this MySpace page is not Uncompressed Happiness. Uncompressed Happiness is a xerox treasure. It is pages of photocopied bliss. You can hold it in your hand. It is real.If you would like a copy of Uncompressed Happiness, send us a message. We will mail it to you. It's free -- that is, unless you buy it at a bookstore, (yes, that is right, it is sold in stores in NYC and some crazy city in the UK) then we charge $2, or 1£. If you find it for sale anywhere else, tell us immediately. We want to know who is profiting from our blood, our sweat, our tears. But please, don't post it as a comment (Hey Lesley and Karley, how are you? I saw your zine for sale in Topeka, KS blahblahblah"). Nobody wants to read that.Also, I am awesome. But don't take it from me. Why don't you check out... oh, I don't know... MY FIRST REVIEW!!!Uncompressed Happiness Vol.1
A5/b&w/photocopied/36 pages/£Free/Trade
SAEs at the ready! This is lovely Molly Ringwold Pretty in Pink zine from NY NY, beautifully penned after-class by Lesley Robin and Karley Meabrod. I really should be watching Belle and Sebastian tonight, but this undoubtedly overcompensates, with well-crafted potential-pet hierarchies, articles on falling in love with strangers and party-starting in the projects, ethnographic research; subway suitors, and the existence of hipsters exposed, and just how to name-drop the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in your prank calls malarky. Furthermore, it comes with a free CD; 9 tracks of digitally compressed bands you havent heard ofthis pair must be hipsters (only, make sure you check out Rachel Lipson, shes too good to be kept a secret)? For the past two years Ive been telling terrible jokes and saying sentences one would only say for the sake of hearing ridiculous combinations of words said at the most inappropriate of times. I never thought about what I might actually be communicating when I say these statements of nothing. Coming back atya Karley! Dont stop looking for someone who shares your sense of humour, and keep up the good fight, both of you. (Lipgloss)
