and you will (still) know indie publishing by the trail of dead, BUT... apparently arthur magazine is back. in the words of editor/owner jay babcock:

--------------------------

Sweethearts of the rodeo,

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.

Sorry 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.

Not sure if anyone posted about this yet, but there's a benefit next Sat. (1/27) at the Empty Bottle in Chicago for J Robbins and family. (See Dan's entry about J's son, Callum, who was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.)

What is GOING ON HERE???

A PLUG for PUNK PLANET.

Laura P — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 16:57:19 -0500

As Anne mentioned, PUNK PLANET was nominated for "Zine of the Year" for the 2007 Plug Awards. We're under "Media Categories: (Obsessive)" I have no idea what the obsessiveness is referring to, but I'm just glad we're not '(General).' That would be SO embarrassing!

So this is just another reminder to vote, because unlike voting for senatorial candidates and local policies about casinos and where to build a new megamall and stuff, the PLUG awards focus on INDEPENDENT MEDIA! AND MUSIC! (And unlike other elections, independents can actually WIN!)
