ARTHUR MAG IS DEAD. This on Pitchfork:
Hippies, stoners, and folk freaks the world over wept today as it was announced that Arthur magazine will close its doors after five glorious years of delivering discourse and pretty pictures on art, music, and more to our marijuana-stained hands. As confirmed by editor Jay Babcock, Arthur will cease operations effective immediately.
Arthur, printed bi-monthly in oversize format and available free at the savvier venues, bookstores, and record shops near you, set up shop in October 2002. In addition to publishing articles, interviews, artwork, and more on/by Thurston Moore, Arthur C. Clarke, Spike Jonze, Devendra Banhart, Will Oldham, Joanna Newsom, Joe Strummer, and others-- and playing a vital role in the freak folk boom of a few years back-- Arthur also hosted/curated a number of festivals, including Arthur Nights in the magazine's home city of Los Angeles.
Sad news indeed. But freak folksters needn't despair - they have the new issue of Radar Mag to console themselves with, complete with a rather interesting 'Toxic Bachelors' cover story featuring Colin Farrell in his underwear and tales of an impossibly lecherous James Woods (him, 59, her, 20). I also enjoyed the 'Socialites - They're Just Like Us' spread featuring rich bitch models hanging around bowling alleys in couture gowns. Because that's what common people do, right?
