Following our fabulous first post, this idea of letting bands who send us their MP3′s and photos describe themselves has grown on us. So much so that we’ve expanded the concept into a little show-n-tell section for musicians: they send their project’s info, some music and a photo. The catch is that they must also send a review and some music (a link, in its defect) of another band. And [...]

Talking Shop: “Global” Explained.
We have been hard at work putting together our zero issue (which you will be able to flip through in our nifty PageFlip on our “magazine” section) several issues have come up surrounding the idea of spaces. Spaces as in “we’re running out of space” due to our growing collection of tchatchkes. Or spaces as in the fascinating world of digital real-estate. Or time-spaces, since the editors of this fine magazine are in different time zones – making phone calls is fabulously chaotic. However this [...]

Matt W. Moore
Our last post in this section ended in attributive mystery, so this one is titled and linked for your derivative viewing pleasure. According to his website, Matt (can we call you Matt?) just had a solo exhibition named “Parallel Universe” in Sao Paulo which included the painting of a rather large, colorful, geometric, tripping-the-light-fantastic mural.
The exhibit description follows – a direct quote from mwmgraphics.com “Parallel Universe” Series explores and celebrates the convergence of his dedication to various disciplines of design and art. The paintings were [...]

We Liked This
Oh, but how we’d be thrilled to preach on a saturday. Point being, we saw this and liked it, so we post it and a link – with regards – to the source:
EDIT: It seems that this image link leads nowhere. In the interest of not deleting things, please, if you know who we can attribute this photo (ot design) to, leave a note.
Dylan Shrader
Let’s test this thing, shall we? This one features our friend and Appalachian-dweller Dylan Shrader, who will be reviewing music in our upcoming first issue. We break the seal on our nifty music section with Shrader’s “Some Day” – recorded in a mountain cabin while in solitary (and voluntary) confinement. But he makes a better introduction than we do, so read on to the bottom and listen up for a treat.
