News Arthur Magazine To Not Die After All
posted by on May 14 at 13:44 PM
According to Pitchfork today, the free publication Arthur is not going under! Yay!
I love this magazine because it A) Has a column by Douglas Rushkoff; B) Often does its CD reviews in the format of two guys just chatting about the CD while they listen to it and cracking jokes; C) Allowed reeeaaallllyyy long articles for people to write, which just doesn’t happen in music magazines anymore (their Joanna Newsom feature must have been at least 10,000 words); D) Always had a pretty cover.
Hopefully, the distribution will be the same—I used to pick it up at Vera, Neumo’s, or the Croc. It was always there, which probably means no one reads it but me.
yes! I ordered all the back issues when I thought there would be no more Arthur, but I still haven't made it all the way through. So much good stuff.
Of all the OTHER people in the world who would possibly be reading Arthur Magazine, my first guess would have definitely been Chris Hong.
Count this Chris in, too. I loved Arthur and can't wait to see another new issue!
Remember the Adventure Club article? Or the Godsmack-down by Jay Babcock himself? Oodles of goodness in every colorfully psychotropic edition.
XO to Ari for letting us know ...
Arthur was frequently amazing, but my favorite thing ever in any issue of Arthur was actually an ad, for Poker Without Cards.
Here's the deal…If you read Poker Without Cards from beginning to end and don't see The Matrix for 30 days, I will mail you $23.
This is not a gag. There isn't an image of The Matrix in my book. I do reference the movie twice, but that's not this deal. The only trick is that by "The Matrix" I'm not talking about the movie The Matrix-I'm talking about seeing THE MATRIX. Reading Poker Without Cards will make you see THE MATRIX, define it however you want. If reading Poker Without Cards doesn't fundamentally alter the way you see the world I'll pay you $23 for wasting your time
Now if you go to the Poker Without Cards website it automatically links to something equally brilliant/insane.

oops I put the closing italics tag one paragraph too early
Robert Anton Wilson would have flipped out at that ad. Of course, maybe he placed it.
that wasn't me, by the way. hi, other sam.
This is very exciting news.
