Print refuses to lay down. Monocle opened this a few weeks back, and the print edition had a few interesting articles on urban newsstand culture over the year. PSFK questions the transition of print into a luxury item. Surfacing occasionally in dystopian futurist op eds and science fiction; this is quickly becoming a reality.
I see a demand evolving for a series of pricey niche print publications; with high production values, glossy photography, backed with sturdy paper. These could be a place for yesterday’s tradition of solid journalistic integrity that the new media often neglects and old media continues to relinquish. People will pay for trusted sources. I’ve noticed FROG Design has tapped into the merits of print with a 60 page magazine and points to inherent lasting value as a motivator. If Brûlé’s stands work, his growing brand could enter into a variety of new luxury print formats. I would really enjoy a twice weekly high-quality tabloid sized international affairs analysis & trend journal with a light online component.

At The Drive-In - “Enfilade”
All this talk about One Day As A Lion doesn’t remind me of old Rage records - the best of which, I’d controversially argue, is The Battle of Los Angeles - so much as it does of Jon Theodore, who reminds me of Omar Rodríguez-López, who reminds me of At The Drive-In (which absolutely does not remind me of those fuckheads in Sparta).
At The Drive-In is one of those bands I didn’t get into until long after they were both broken up and categorically “uncool” to be caught listening to. But from the looks of this, it seems that they certainly had their place and time, and made quite an impact when they did. Personally, it makes me want to be 17 and pissed off, again, but so does a lot of shit. Anyway. Watch what a feel-good concert looked like at that age.
