Quick!
Quick… have a look! at Asobi Seksu, as well as many other items for good reading.
Here is a little bit about the Quick:
“The Quick is an online bi-monthly that focuses on music as the source and/or result of epiphany, transcendence, revelation, etc. of a spiritual or even more general variety. In other words, it’s for folks who find the world to be a wonderful and (perhaps divinely) mysterious place and find music to be a great reflection of that, or folks who find music to be the one thing tripping up their otherwise firm grip on their assumptions about the world around them. The Quick, as opposed to the dead, the life in something, the blood flow…
Like I said, a work in progress, but I think you get the idea. Pursuers of faith, music, art in general… all are on a path of discovery, and the Quick is the celebration of those moments of discovery.”

I realize I failed to mention… I know that at least one series of photographs (the art brut set) are from ms. beth carron herself!

This looks great. The more I do web design, the less I like the web design aesthetic. A site like this just looks so much better and your typical site.
I guess it comes from the control over the layout, fonts and photography. Or maybe it just feel comfortable becuase we’re all so used to looking at magazines. Whatever it is, I really like it and I hope to see more of it.
Inquiringmind Magazine (http://www.inqmnd.ca/site/) does a great job in a similar format. I really like the way they’ve used music in the site as well.
Now I want to make one too!

Ann! Thanks for posting
John: keen eye sir, Inquiringmind was the site that inspired this format. The design freedom is nice, and the TOC makes it easier on us as contributions are less predictable right now and working out a navigation could mean having some pretty empty buckets. Anyhow, thanks for having a look, hope to move ahead with a bigger better edition soon.
