The Wire Jr (for kids!)

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Following esteemed publications like "Cosmo Girl" and "Teen People", "Wire Jr" is the latest publication made just for kids! (Mike D's suggestion on the Voice thread)

What stories should it run?

as i just said to you: "your multiplication tables with unc'a xenakis."

Advertorials from "Tickle Me Jandek"

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 02:56 (twenty-three years ago)

yes it is funny when you mix 'complicated' 'adult' musicians with average kid signifiers OH THE JUXTAPOSITION

― ep, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 03:00 (twenty-three years ago)

esp. 'tickle me (someone who isnt a childrens character)', jbr you should get the attention of some latenight talkshow writers with that idea

― ep, Wednesday, 6 November 2002 03:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, it's funny when you make dick jokes, Ethan. OH THE OUTRAGEOUSNESS

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 03:01 (twenty-three years ago)

ethan, self-parody is perilous thing.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 03:06 (twenty-three years ago)

All I can think about is Soothing Sounds for Baby by Raymond Scott and a study on what happened to kids who got to listen to it while growing up.

haha and i have to wonder if ethan even gets the xenakis joke.

alex, that's actually a reall good idea.

NO! That is NOT it AT ALL! If there had been Wire Jr. circa 1984 I would've been so totally all over it as a thirteen-year-old. I knew about Beefheart and Cage thanx to the RS Record Guide, and would've appreciated any other friendly pointers into the fun-avant.

Articles on appropriation and "how to make a bootleg" would be perfect.

I would buy a Tickle Me Jandek

Furthermore, just so you know where I'm coming from, I almost helped start a magazine for teen gays and lesbians -- we were gonna call it very.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 03:21 (twenty-three years ago)

how very.

Ugh, God no. Bastards stole the name.

Actually, my very never got out of the initial planning stages. I think there is now a publication for gay teens out there, somewhere.

Oh yeah. Please, consider it a compliment.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 12:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyway, another article idea: something along the lines of "here's some cool musicians who've put their experience with really geeky band instruments like the glockenspiel or sousaphone to good use in a rock/jazz/improv/whateva context."

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 12:14 (twenty-three years ago)

BTW did you do an article on feldman michael? I tried to find it on yr blog but i couldn't. if you have done one can i have a look?

(OK i'll be away from the computer for a few hours so if i don't reply to anything...)

invisible jukebox with the fast food rockers

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 11 August 2003 08:49 (twenty-two years ago)

it goes without saying that this would be infinitely better than the grown-up wire... they may even do pieces about dizzee...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Monday, 11 August 2003 08:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Wire Jr. would be for kids who generally would like something like The Wire, not for kids who want another teen-pop gossip mag. It would have basic background info (pieces about Charlie Parker, pieces about how records are produced and marketed, about the history of house), about how to create your own dance record, about indie rock. It would run interviews with Max Martin as well as (or instead of) Britney, though if it were a good magazine it would try to run both.

Yeah the Wire would be a lot better if it had "how-to" articles.
