The second issue of MungBeing Magazine, the only "hot potato" magazine on the internet, has hit the cyberstands! It is now even more delicious with 70+ tantalizing pages of writing, art and music! That's over TWICE the material than before! This bi-month, MungBeing is focusing on Outsider Art and Stuckism, two movements that are really causing a stir. And with good cause, as is demonstrated by Stuckist founders Charles Thomson, Billy Childish, Ella Guru, and Joe Machine, and driven further home by a selection of VERY talented Stuckist painters from around the world. Our Outsider insider overheard a conversation with Gus Fink so that story is presented here, too. There's also Outsider artwork from Kelly Moore, Liz Parkinson, Ian Pyper and artists SO outside they don't even WANNA come in. How Childish. he written works of the talented MungBeing collective continues to shine with thematic pieces from Kevin Ausmus, Michael O'Briant, Jeb Ebben, Rik Albatros, Starchy, Robert Dayton, Mark Teppo... the list goes on. And the comics section glows with beautiful work from Julian Lawrence, mckenzee, Suzanne Baumann, and Harold Penis. Musically, there's an excursion into the delightful world of Outsider Music, a world that includes Joe Meek and R. Stevie Moore, with Comfort Stand Records (www.comfortstand.com) and your host Otis Fodder. There's also an EXCLUSIVE TRACK and a conversation with the incomparable Naomi Hall. And there's a recipe for LGBT Casserole. WOW! We're pulling from a WELL STOCKED BeingPool here! Stuckism and Outsider Art. Two great tastes that fit together like inverted handmaidens at a baby shower. Only twice as wet! Don't forget to check out our forums where you can interact with MungBeing readers and contributors.

Of course, that doesn't take much, but it is sure as hell true. I'm proud to announce that an essay-to-arms of mine, a little chunk of words called Vectors [ www.mungbeing.com/issue_1.html ], is part of the launch issue of a very promising new online magazine, MungBeing [ www.mungbeing.com ]. Wait, did I say promising? Screw that. This launch issue alone lives up to more promises than you'll catch me making. Here's what editor Jody Franklin has to say: The premiere issue of MungBeing has hit the cybershelves! www.mungbeing.com MungBeing is an online bimonthly magazine containing artwork, short stories, articles, essays, music, recipes, poetry, comics, and fun-filled interactive features. The brainchild of Mark Givens (Wckr Spgt) and jody franklin (July Fourth Toilet), the debut edition features an interview with enigmatic philosopher and cult figure Robert Anton Wilson. A variety of wonderfully talented essayists and poets explore subjects such as debauchery in Mexico, the Oval Office, ghosts, cantaloupe pie, and poems that won't be written. Our wordsmiths include John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats), Robert Dayton (Canned Hamm), R.S. Deese (The Fossil Record), a plethora of Salmon Bosch alum, and members of The Misfit Library [ themisfitlibrary.com/ ]. The magazine is illustrated with myriad original visual art works and comics by artists such as Jason McLean, Michael O'Briant, Julian Lawrence (Drippytown Comics) and others. And as an added bonus, the first issue of MungBeing includes an unreleased song from The Congress (featuring John Darnielle and Mark Givens). MungBeing aims to be a narrower, more focused Outsider Salon, a Low Art New Yorker (A Lorker), Juxtapoz's bookish third cousin, the sly Cubists to Pop Surrealism's witty Futurists, a poor substitute for sleep, the natural progression/extension of Salmon Bosch into the digital domain, and an outlet for some restless ideas. It exists to entertain, amuse, provoke, and evoke; it is meant to be contemplated, absorbed, savored and enjoyed. It is the cantaloupe pie of cyberzines, magalogs and weberags. Your friends will want a slice of the pie, too, so share it because there's enough to go around. Questions and inquiries may be directed to inquiries@mungbeing.com - Starchy , posted 04/04/05 |
