Title: Syndicate product, issue 11.0, [October 2005]
Description: Issue 11 begins with a FAQ that gives the origin of the zine's name "Low Hug" and explains the name change to "Syndicate Product." It contains stories from people who have thrown out a much loved or valuable object and now regret it. Contributors mourn the loss of sentimental and nostalgic items like cassettes, letters from family members, old cars, CDs, and vintage furniture. There are stories about the loss of more unusual objects, like a lucky rock and a mannequin named Lloyd. The second part of the zine reviews zines, has a submission from someone who built a transistor radio as a kid and broadcast his records on a pirated radio station, and a list of books and movies worth seeking out. A.j., a librarian contemplates zine culture and perhaps quitting it.
