| Subcultures come and go and the zeitgeist always morphs into something new. It is up to the writers and photographers and documentarians to record the evolutionand big chunks of the story inevitably get left out. But SWINDLE's here to fill in the blanks. Washington, D.C.'s Bad Brains are widely considered the first all-Black American punk band. But SWINDLE knows better: Pure Hell was. We all know about Japanese anime, but Koreanimation? Only SWINDLE gives you a feature on Korean animation and its complex patchwork of Western and Asian iconography. There are more missing links from the evolution of pop culture: Philippe Starck, a legendary designerand a legendary character. Before Target became a household name, he pioneered the idea that beautiful, functional design didn't have to be for the elite. We revisit the Bones Brigadethe proto-type skate team from the 1980's, featuring a teenaged Tony Hawk. And finally, because SWINDLE knows that pop culture is a surface reflection of deeper social issues, we follow Matt Kettmann to war-torn Northern Uganda where he reports on the IDP camp Pader Town Council. Don't worry. SWINDLE is here to tell you the whole story. |
