Okay, when Ames gets going he goes LARGE and correct. F de C Reader is a crazy cool Japanese fashion journal “printed like the weekly mangas” and I got lost in it for like 20 minutes and didn’t know where I was, or what I had been doing before. I can’t even tell you how hype and rare a publication this is.

NEW HERRING PRESS four chapbook set. Okay, not technically journals, they’re literary chapbooks but we’re treating ‘em like lit journals too.
“Vernacular Scholarship” by Eileen Myles”, “Starve a Rat” by Justin Torres”, “Apprenticeship” by Amanda Davidson, and from “The Ladies” by Sara Veglahn. Letterpress cover art by Jacob Magraw.
When all four chapbooks are placed together, they look like the drawing above. Fetching stuff. Moving prose. New Herring does good work.
No one has “bd’s” reading BAD DAY. I’m aside a pool. It’s sunny. I’m reading a comic called “Lola”. I’m looking at photography by Peter Sutherland that looks to have been taken at a Mt. Everest base camp in the Himalayas. I’m reading an interview with John Baldessari. And one with a spellbinding designer named Alice Waese. I’m having nothing resembling a bad day.
O32c is better than everything else you are reading now. Especially concerning fashion. Or art. Or culture. Or “cultures”. It is very, very smart, hype, the bomb. Stop what you are reading now, call us, or go to our website, and get it now. NOW!
Is APOLOGY a literary magazine? Culture journal? Gussied up hipster ‘zine? Welcome to mo’ new irreverent writing, crafted by a former editor of VICE magazine. Apology is more serious than Vice, but filled with a lot of the glamorous weirdness you’d expect from a gathering of its alumni.
Though ostensibly a publication “of culture and polemic”, don’t be mislead:JACOBIN is “dedicated to bringing jargon-free neo-Marxist thinking to the masses”, endquote (NYT). A voice of the American left, Jacobin offers socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture—-in a sexy, 21st century sort of way. The latest issue: how machines displace workers, the plight of the Detroit car industry, violence against the populace in Honduras, the Chicago teachers’s strike, and more. Fighting the fight.
