LA-based Journalist Jay Babcock launched ARTHUR MAGAZINE as a bi-monthly independent counterculture street-press in 2002. Since its inception, ARTHUR has championed the progressive, political and socially aware and has remained at the forefront of emerging trends in art, music and culture. The fact that it is free is just sugar-sweet icing on the already deliciously appetising proverbial cake.
The latest issue (December 2007) features reviews by regular columnist Thurston Moore, an interview with Baltimore group Celebration, a look at Punk House by photographer Abby Banks and a discussion of record reviews between two nameless contributors 'C' and 'D', and Dan Deacon and Jimmy Joe Roche with accompanyng illustrations by Beth Hoeckel. The formatting is off beat, the interview styles are casual and charming, the fashion is quirky and ironic, and there is not a single social picture throughout the mag's 62 pages. Thank god for that.
