1. ORPHANED ARTICLES FROM ARTHUR NOW BEING POSTED AT ARTHUR BLOG

Stay tuned for news about Arthur Vol. II, debuting as soon as we can get it happening. We’ve been through a (completely unnecessary) wringer over the last few months. In the meantime, articles intended for publication in the now-cancelled Arthur Vol 1 No 26 are being posted at Arthur’s “Magpie” blog at:

2. NEW PRINTING OF ARTHUR’S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED “THE INVASION OF THUNDERBOLT PAGODA” DVD COMING SOON.

We are psyched dude to announce the imminent second printing of Ira Cohen’s “The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda” DVD, which received critical raves from The New York Times and The Wire upon its release late last summer and sold out in November, 2006. (Please don’t ask what took us so long, it’s a bummer.) Further news and pre-order info are available at

3. FRIDAY THE 13TH FROCK N ROLL 

Frequent Arthur contributor Steve “Plastic Crimewave” Krakow writes:

“I will be exhibiting some “glam god” drawing/painting collaborations (of Roy Wood, Arthur Brown, Mick Ronson, and Jobriath)  with renaissance woman Amy Cargill (yes she painted, i drew) at:

Frock N Roll, at local project 2136 44th road, L.I.C., NY

April 13th thru Saturday April 28th 

Opening Reception: April 13th, 6pm -midnight

An Intersection of Art, Music and Fashion, curated by Wendy Gosselin and Veronica Ibarra

Frock N Roll –the creation of a theatrical environment; a happening that recognizes and embraces a diverse assemblage of artists with a passion for all that is Frock N Roll.a multi-media exhibition exploring the connection, evolution and impact that visual art, fashion and rock and roll evoke in our society. Frock N Roll developed from obsessions for vintage materials, music, the zeitgeist of decades

past and future, idols and heroes, and contemporary design. The artists in this exposition are aroused by classic, glitter, metal and all incarnations of rock that resonate in us to construct a new

aesthetic.

Uniting over 20 cutting-edge artists from the international arena of the most inspirational cities in the world, this unique event showcases provocative works in various mediums including photography, fashion design, sculpture, painting, illustration, performance, installation, graphic design, and music. Live performances will be featured to provide a complete three-dimensional “happening” environment.

Prior to that I was a district office staffer for Congressman Henry A. Waxman, a DJ at Silver Lake pirate radio station KBLT, a copy editor at Larry Flynt Publications, an editor at Mean magazine, and a freelance journalist contributing work to LAWeekly, Mojo, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Vibe, Rap Pages, Grand Royal and many other print and online outlets. An extended piece I wrote on Fela Kuti was selected for the Da Capo Best Music Writing 2000 anthology. In 2006, I was somehow listed in the Music section of Los Angeles Magazine's annual "Power" issue. In 2007-8, I produced a blog called "Nature Trumps," about the L.A. River. From 2010 to 2021, I lived in rural wilderness in Joshua Tree, Ca.
