Other Magazine
I just discovered Other Magazine in San Francisco. “Pop culture and politics for the new outcasts.”
I haven’t gotten ahold of an issue in person, yet. But check this out:
Now reading for issue #10, the Monkey/Ape Issue.
Send us your hominid escapades! We’re going to be over-analyzing primates of all stripes in science, pop culture, politics and anywhere else we can find them. Sexually harrassing sign-language gorillas, monkeys in literature or music, ape iconography in political discourse. We want it all! 2006 is going to be the Year of the Monkey, no matter what the Chinese say! We’re also looking for fiction and poetry with an ape/monkey theme.
Also, fiction editor and publisher Charlie Anders is looking for short, one- or two-paragraph discussions of pop songs that mention monkeys. Whether it’s George Michael’s “Monkey” or Warren Zevon’s “Leave My Monkey Alone,” we want your analysis of the music and its monkey message. Send monkey song reviews or queries to monkeysongs@othermag.org
