walterkranz - I've been doing the Magpie blog since before Arthur started. We incorporated it into the arthurmag.com website for kicks. Another too-trusting move on my part, it appears.

Well, I enjoy it and I hope you continue to do something similar.

― walterkranz, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 03:05 (nineteen years ago)

The uncompleted issue features the debut of a whole new approach to the art direction of Arthur by new art directors Mark Frohman & Molly Frances. Maybe we can put some of it online sometime, I just don't know.

Sigh... well, I can certainly say that I'd love to see what it would have looked like!

I am now superbummed.

― Andi Mags, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 07:30 (nineteen years ago)

It was always a great day when I found an issue of this laying on the floor of Freakbeat in the Valley, 'cause I would take it to a Coffee Bean and kill a peaceful hour or 2. And I loved the design! Probably my favorite looking music magazine around, in fact!
Anyway, thanks for all the good reads!

Thanks for all the kind words. In a bizarre twist, I still have access to
myspace.com/arthurmag
so i will update that site with news about what all the Arthur contributors are up to, etc etc
In the meantime -- let's all welcome back LA RECORD!!!!!

fwiw -- The Magpie blog will return to its original home at jaybabcock.com starting Monday, if not earlier.

i always looked foward to my box of arthurs every month and even as it got less East Village and more slikked up ,,th content always perked sum earbrows..i gave out alot to unsuspecting folxx and they always were a lil shocked it was free...even at a dollar it may have helped?who knows..from ashes come forged tools of dissent to render placid flesh stripples?

― danbunny, Thursday, 29 March 2007 04:23 (nineteen years ago)

Was a good read, R.I.P. Will the Yoko Fluxus piece appear somewheres?

― rudyrudyrudy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

Bump. Jay? Do you have some kind of announcement?

― mark 0, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I also heard something third-hand today and was hoping for confirmation. . .

― Jeff Wright, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 03:28 (nineteen years ago)

Arthur has been recalled to life.

I bought Laris's 50 percent interest in the magazine thanks to the efforts of family and friends.

Now I own 100% and am moving forward with all Arthur activities as quickly as possible.

Apologies for the interruption in service.

To celebrate the occasion, we've posted the whole ALAN MOORE ON PORNOGRAPHY piece from Arthur Magazine V1 N25 online on our Magpie blog.

hehe...babcock..hehe

― wesley useche, Thursday, 5 April 2007 01:54 (nineteen years ago)

good news, arthur's always a bit harder to find down here but i always enjoy it when i find a copy.

― haitch, Thursday, 5 April 2007 02:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yay! I just found out about Arthur a few months ago, and it's since become one of my favorite publications!

― Tape Store, Thursday, 5 April 2007 04:16 (nineteen years ago)

fwiw, we're gonna be posting some of the stuff from the cancelled issue (Arthur 26) on the arthurmag.com blog over the next few days. The Bull Tongue column by Byron & Thurston is up there now.

― jaybabcock, Thursday, 5 April 2007 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

congrats, glad it's coming back

― dmr, Thursday, 5 April 2007 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

What can we (the readers!) do to ensure this does not happen again?

― filthy dylan, Thursday, 5 April 2007 22:22 (nineteen years ago)

Only ever read Arthur once when I got a copy sent by a friend when he mailed me some records. I enjoyed it.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 5 April 2007 22:31 (nineteen years ago)

filthy dylan - Thank you for your concern... Honestly, though: this was a one-time-only thing that should never have happened. And it's something that the readers could not have prevented from happening, anyway.

― jaybabcock, Thursday, 5 April 2007 22:41 (nineteen years ago)

Can I find this in London? (this ex-Los Angeles fan living abroad hopes yes)

― Ben Boyerrr, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:08 (nineteen years ago)

You can get it shipped internationally for $20 from http://www.arthurmag.com/store/index.php?ID=31

― caek, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

Ben - I know that they carry Arthur at Rough Trade in London, but I doubt they have any copies left of the last issue at this late date.

― jaybabcock, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, viking metal. Surely the cover of the next issue.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 5 April 2007 23:50 (nineteen years ago)

(re: viking metal. I'll leave that to my cousin Quitty to work up...)

― jaybabcock, Friday, 6 April 2007 00:10 (nineteen years ago)

(Quitty did this great zine called HESSIAN OBSESSION...)

― jaybabcock, Friday, 6 April 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

eight months pass...

picked up the new issue yesterday and was surprised to see NED RAGGETT vs. the SPARKS DISCOGRAPHY

― dmr, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 18:26 (eighteen years ago)

Indeed so. (I'd mentioned it on a couple of Sparks threads here.)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

i wonder if arthur will catch any fbi glances from the "modest proposal" piece re: a gw bush a55a55ination

― omar little, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

I've still never seen this at Rough Trade in London :(

― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

(and I miss this mag so much! In fact, I just re-wrote how I used to get it at Freakbeat Records and would run to a Coffee Bean to read it in the sun, but then I realized I already wrote that upthread!)

― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

I've still never seen this at Rough Trade in London :(

Jay mentioned that a batch of issues should be in London soon -- don't know where, though.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 7 May 2008 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

Any thoughts on the new Low Life zine, or Z Gun? I've seen both but haven't heard much from others.
