Sorry, I didn't want to make a silly joke cause I really really do LOVE this magazine.
Ronan, you should be a contributor. Aside from Ian S.'s Peaches article, there isn't much on dance music, I don't think.

Come celebrate the happy, all-too-brief life of Arthur Magazine with free giveaways and a reading featuring Molly Frances, Oliver Hall, and Peter Relic. Thursday, March 1, 7:30pm Family Bookstore, 436 N. Fairfax Avenue (across the street from Canter's Deli), Los Angeles, 90036. Arthur's "New Herbalist" columnist Molly Frances incited a revolution nationwide by informing readers of the true powers of almonds, sprigs of mint, and Lord Byron's secret potion (a.k.a. apple cider vinegar). Molly's eerily prescient horoscopes have been known to strike the melodic funny-bone of even the most determined non-believer. Tonight Molly will be giving astrological readings as well as tripling any double entendre at hand. Oliver Hall penned Arthur's cover story on Kim Gordon and memorably profiled folk radicals Faun Fables. He is the statuesque guitarist with L.A.'s newest psych-rock sensation E.S.P.S., and is seldom seen without his trusty Patsy Cline t-shirt. Tonight Hall will be dispensing priceless aphorisms as well as deconstructing the pungent, multi-faceted phrase "no money, no honey." Peter Relic eulogized Jam Master Jay and went on the road with the Black Keys and Sleater-Kinney for Arthur. Relic's profile of the Geto Boys, reprinted in Da Capo's Best American Music Writing 2006, was deemed by Seattle's The Stranger to be "easily one of the most surreal, violent, and ludicrous artists encounters ever documented." Tonight Relic will be reading from his storehouse of pantoums, an unjustly obscure Malaysian poetic form. We look forward to seeing you there -- dressing in black not a requirement!

― jaywbabcock, Saturday, 17 November 2012 19:47 (6 months ago) Permalink
I admit I should say something more having posted that link and all. Got a couple of ideas kicking around...
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 17 November 2012 19:56 (6 months ago) Permalink
fwiw fyi there is this: New York Times - Media Decoder
― jaywbabcock, Saturday, 17 November 2012 20:35 (6 months ago) Permalink
Also, something that wasn't mentioned in that initial announcement and didn't get picked up in the Times piece was this, and I can't emphasize it enough really: In this new incarnation of Arthur, everyone who contributes to the magazine actually gets paid. In the old days it was labor love and credit cards for everybody but the art directors (who worked way way way below market rate) and ad salespeople (who worked strictly commission — a hard way to be). This is made possible by the readers. And of course, it is made possible by the fact that Arthur existed previously... so the new reality of Arthur, like most new realities, is built on a combination of new sitch plus past blood, sweat and tears.

all the best with this, jay. fantastic news and the business model seems sound - ideal, in fact. i hope to see (and buy) it in the UK at some point.
― jed_, Saturday, 17 November 2012 20:42 (6 months ago) Permalink
jed - thank you, it took four years in the wilderness (3 of those kinda literally! haha) to get back to this place. I was able to avoid bankruptcy, that was one of the main things. Oy. So many people have been so generous. As for getting the mag in the UK: I would advise pre-ordering it direct from us.

<i>Glad you had a store that carried Arthur in the old days — which one was it?<i>Reckless Records and Laurie's Planet of Sound in Chicago. I'm pretty sure I picked up almost every issue - maybe not the first few, looking at your cover gallery, #3 might have been my first - at one of those places and passed them off along with the latest Roctobers to a trucker friend whenever he was in town.

My new-Arthur wishlist:
As much Erik Davis as possible
Original comics content (by which I just mean comics done for the mag as opposed to coverage/reviews of comics)

Jon Lewis: You will like Arthur No. 33 very much on the second count—I think. First count, not so much... but Erik will be back later.
― jaywbabcock, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 19:52 (5 months ago) Permalink
Cool x 2.
Actually, are you reviewing comics/graphic novels as well? I wanna make sure my publisher (who does Gabrielle Bell, James Romberger, me and others) has you on his comp list...

Hey there Jay, I subscribed right before you stopped printing and only ever received the Sparks and Galas issues. Any chance my subscription will be re-started?

― Raymond Cummings, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 00:44 (5 months ago) Permalink
Jay, will the 'no ads except on back cover' thing be an ongoing standard? Is that one big ad or several smaller ones? Curious for my publisher.
― my other pug is a stillsuit (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 4 December 2012 16:25 (5 months ago) Permalink
Jon - Probably, yeah. Back coverS, actually, as there are two sections — in this issue, at least. Maybe in the next issue, there will be 3 sections, who knows. Ads are a real bitch to handle for a ton of reasons, and we protect ourselves by limiting them in this way. It's worked out really well for us. Your publisher can get in touch with us thru normal channels.

New issue is at the printer. 8 more color pages, more music coverage in this issue than last one.
After 20-plus years navigating strange, inspiring trips across myriad underground psychedelic terrains with a host of fellow free folk, righteous musician/head MATT VALENTINE (MV&EE, Tower Recordings, etc) finally spills all possible beans in an unprecedented, career-summarizing, ridiculously footnoted epic interview by BYRON COLEY. Plus: Deep archival photo finds from the MV vaults, a sidebar wander through some important MV listening experiences with your guide Dan Ireton, and a gorgeous cover painting by ARIK ROPER of MV & EE at peace in the cosmic wild. Delicious!
