The once seminal Crime Time magazine relaunches as an online magazine, with a print-on-demand edition available upon request.

I really hope that this works out for them. Once upon a time, Crime Time regularly ran Interviews with and short story’s by some of the more popular and idiosyncratic crime authors working today. I really do hope it works, but this feels like a death kneel.

And the new website design? Meh.

Reigning kings of post-rock ‘Godspeed you! Black Emperor’ have confirmed that their hiatus is permanent, due to the Iraq war. Which is slightly less dull than the often cited reason of musical/creative differences.

I’m going to go ahead and leave it to others to get emotive about this and simply point you in the direction of the drownedinsound article.
