Products of a Gaseous Brain Spring 2010 Catalogue - Available Now!
Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 02:28PM 
The first issue of the Products of a Gaseous Brain zine is available now!
You can buy the STRICTLY LIMITED EDITION luxury B&W printed version, which has already been described on Twitter as "mindblowing" and "a snazzy catalogue", for the bargain price of £2 at Elvis Shakespeare, Deadhead Comics & Avalanche Records in Edinburgh, and at Monorail Music in Glasgow. Or you can buy it directly from this website using the handy buttons below. The prices are slightly higher than in the shops due to postage, especially for outside the UK, so I've made the pdf version available to download for £1 sterling (I think given the work that's gone into the zine this is a reasonable amount to charge).
Download zip file containing full colour PDF version:
£1 
Buy B&W print version (for UK delivery):
£3
Buy B&W print version (for International Delivery):
£5
These prices are as low as I can possibly go to cover the costs of printing and postage etc. Note also that there will only be 50 printed versions available of the zine and that includes the ones that are already in the shops.
p.s. please spread the word!

A wee update: you can now get the pdf as part of the I Hear a New World Ten Tracks package - so you're getting the pdf and 10 songs I highly recommend for £1, and part of the profits goes to the bands featured. Go here to get it.
For the time being I'm keeping the pdf on sale here also in case you just want to buy it on its own.

Milo, I received my copy over the weekend and really enjoyed it man. Very good read and nicely put together. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Euan, glad you like it!
Milo, I haven't finished the read, but congrats on making it. For what it's worth: on the positive side - just making the thing and setting up a smooth running shoperation with which to buy it - an engaging, personal style - clear layout - an expression of your obvious delight in the various cultural indulgences you pass on to the reader - a couple of nice, non-obvious, non-parochial Scotblog subject matters and, again, big props just for making it. On the negative - you could have perhaps been more daring with layout, font choice etc - I'm not sure if you should include already blogged posts in a separate, stand alone PDF (which you sell...) although the bigger change of medium of a print mag would probably make that more acceptable as you obviously have print costs (and there's probably a conversation to be had about a blogger who presents plenty of free music & visuals by other people charging for a PDF in the first place...) . I'll look forward to the next one, though.
Cheers Tim. Appreciate the honest feedback. I'm hoping that the content will be fresher in future issues and include new interviews etc. At the same time, it does represent a whole lot of hard work in terms of writing and in putting the zine together. One of the points I'm trying to make is that creative people deserve to get compensated for their work, including writers.
I'm no designer, clearly - but from other feedback I've had I do think it works better in the printed version than the pdf.
As for free music and visuals, almost all of the music I post here I do have permission for or have been sent directly - (and you'll notice there's not a whole lot of mp3s available to download on the site) - but I could do better with images for sure (though I do credit and link where I can). Hopefully the next issue will improve on these points :)
