on another note:

WE. ARE. BACK.

Mid-February. On web, not PDF. We're already gathering content. We'll also come back to MySpace to network and gargle gloriously on energy drinks.

Dear Dosers,

artist Adrian Welch has just informed me that one of the pic we've gotten for the DTP work of the Tokyo issue is a serious copyright violence in itself.

The red angel picture that was on the pages for Norbert Szuk and the Korszakvalto Team was originally drawn by Adrian Welch: http://www.adrianwelch.com/fay4.htm , not Norbert Szuk. The pic was also on the cover of the debut album of Hungarian electro project FA4S who were also contacted by Adrian.

Artist copyright and works should be respected, so we're obviously posting this here.

THE DOSE is back! I got tired of doing nothing really extravagant, vivid and at the same time, educative in my life. At the same time someone whose name I can't specify right now contacted me and expressed hir sentiments about bringing the mag back alive. On the www.thedose.info website I'm writing it's Halloweenish. As I'm seeing things, it's mostly thisyearish. Hell of a lot of energy to put an issue together! The next few weeks about designing a new mag inlay, conducting interviews, handling ads and stuff. The mag's gonna be a 100-page PDF and this time you have to pay for it via PayPal if you wanna see everything inside - I'll be releasing a 16-page teaser to keep you all interested. So contact me, send me your naked love and also, spread the news! damage

This is NOT an April joke - the mag's going to be out next Monday. If you need more info and a bit of a blog, please visit the website at www.thedose.info

A new teaser is out on thedose.info, showing you four Japanese bands we're showcasing in this issue! More comments, more comments!

A new teaser is out on www.thedose.info, stating two bands and a preview of two pages. What we laughed our asses off at was this remark in the interview:

Seems like it's hip to look Spartan these days.

It has something to do with Frank Miller's 300 and also Trent Reznor. Add these up.

We still have a shitload of work but we're seeing the end of the tunnel! Proof one, check the new pic! Lovely Kaori (a TG resident) made it to our front cover, pic done by Regis Hertrich. The interview list is not yet public but we're releasing details every day on www.thedose.info so check us out and leave comments both here and on the site so that we know that you're listening!

Love you all,
Damage

From now on, you'll get one post everyday on www.thedose.info, shedding light on artists who'll be featured in the mag. We've done the cover as well and it looks super mega great, also very girl-dominated.

Do leave a message on the website.
If you all do it together, maybe some magic will happen!

We're busy wrapping up issue 2. The website is under construction. 2 weeks at most.
