wieder mal ein englischsprachiges belgisches mode/whatever-magazin. hip, nett und unaufdringlich layoutet, 106 seiten, 3 euro.

_+ why fashion died: ninette murk über das ende der label-mode: "be a true independent. trust your own taste. buy secondhand clothes. exchange outfits with your friends when you're all bored with your 'old' wardrobe. don't buy mainstream magazines anymore, just leaf through them in the store or read them for free in the library".

_+ shortcuts: kurze artikelchen über hippes zeug: "the cd 'I hear voices' compiles demo tapes sent to Record Maker (air's record label)"; der blow up club in brüssel; "polyester, the electro-pop band fronted by stylist bernard gavillan, already scored a homo-hit with 'les mecs'"; street-karaoke in japan; eröffnung des flagship-stores des labels "shutzmarke" in antwerpen.

_+ bang bang boogie: swing that thing! sam van de veire über einen besuch in einem swingerclub. fotostrecke mit daylight-außenaufnahmen belgischer swingerclubs. hier ein paar clubnamen: dream house, liberties, exotica, mi-noi.

_+ war is fun! "So Bush wants to go to war again. Why? Well at times, war can be great fun because of two reasons: a) mankind always tends to fuck up and b) murphy's law applies to the battlefield as well". mischa bludts hat sowas ähnliches wie kriegsanekdoten aus den letzten jahrhunderten zusammengetragen.

_+ artikel über pocko-exhibitions

_+ the life and times of terry richardson: wissenswertes über richardson. zum beispiel, daß es seine mutter, vor terrys augen, auf dem balkon mit kris kristofferson getrieben hat.

_+ camping star: fotos von uli schillebeeckx (ich liebe übrigens die konsonantenkombination ckx). flämisch-großkiefriges model (female) mit hippieklamotten auf dem dünen-campingplatz.

_+ brutal blues: the kosovo tales: "In march 2001, just as the macedonian war flared up again, photographer layla aerts visited the small village of shtimle, where a couple of years earlier some extremely vicious ethnic batles had been fought."

_+ interview mit der britischen band lemon jelly: how do you, as artists, feel about downloading music from the web? It's great! Bring it on! The more, the merrier! We do it all the time. It's just like taping on a cassette, back in the days. If you love a record, you'll go out and buy it anyway. I really believe that. The whole napster thing ist such a fantastic way to discover music. It's really very short-sighted to try and ban all that. It's not going to go away. It's like the atom bomb, it's here to stay. Better get used to it."

_+ fight for your clothes: fotos von juan brenner. aus dieser fotostrecke stammt auch das coverfoto.

_+ japanese tattoo: japans jugend hat tattoos für sich entdeckt und bricht tabus: "Tattos carry a heavy taboo in japan. Many public baths, saunas, and even swimming pools prohibit entry to anyone with a tattoo. Even worse, if you have a tattoo it is virtually impossible to find a job".

_+ artikel über eine jimi-hendrix-ausstellung in der pariser cité de la musique.

_+ artikel über iké udé, nigerianischer maler, künstler, fotograf aus new york.
