HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOOD NEWS?
PISSUE 1: AMERICAN REVOLUTION is here! And you get to be the first to read some of it...
Hey wicked pisser,
Did you miss me? While I’ve been pouring delicious content and sneak peaks of the first print issue of PISS down your digital throats for the last few months, I was secretly been doing this really chic thing called busting ass to get our first child born.
I know this has meant I’ve been a neglectful parent and our time on here hasn’t been as consistent as it used to be, but this life is more like John Waters’ Polyester (1981) than Home on the Range (2004). And what would we do if life wasn’t filthy, amusingly unstable and absurd?
Now that I’ve finished my degree and have my moving boxes (trash bags actually lol) packed, being back on my little screeds here feels like slipping on that tight and ugly red dress Divine wore in Pink Flamingos—and the sausage casing still fits, honey!
But kiddies, do I have some news for you… PISS is in print!
Next week, I’ll launch pissmagazine.com (and will send you loads of emails about it obvs), where you can pre-order one of the magazine’s two covers that I will send to you in a reasonably timely manner (read: quickly, but I’m not committing to overnight shipping unless you buy 10 copies hun!). It’s 20.5 x 15in, cause size does matter ;) and I’m all about getting bang for my buck.
Speaking of which! If you become a loyal pay pig of this newsletter/digital propaganda tool, you will get a big ‘ole discount on the magazine each time we print it, an “I LOVE PISS” pin and early discounted access to posters of our best in show material—like the massive communist dildo and sickle on page 12! Not to mention all the extra content on here every month outside of the reviews and playlists. Also, please don’t get used to how organized this post is! Back to our usual programming soon…
Because you’ve all been on the boat for most of the journey into our 80-page, newsprint expression of the things we believe in (and some we don’t), I wanted to share the letter that I wrote to open the magazine, which gets the house in order (and for the peeps just catching the vibe now, a full frontal initiation):
PISS is the quarterly(ish) rag all about leaving a puddle in the white cube of mainstream American culture. Each themed issue, PISS looks to the past and the future to mark our territory in the chaotic present. After all, chicness is forged in the absurdities of life.
Pissue 1, American Revolution, is like a peek into what’s been going on in my mind over the last year and a half—the imagined, psychotic America I dream of when I’ve missed home while living in London. Our first rag is about getting a little bit of PISS in your eye, so you have to wash out the viewpoints about art and life which you held before. This was a way for me to reset too, and our next issue will take a step outside of my world bringing stories from further downstream to you.
I wanted to start our conversation about what an American looks like, where our visual culture comes from and start introducing you to the next generation of people remaking all of it. Oh, and this one is kinda, really, very gay (especially in the first 20 pages!) so I hope if you can get past the name and the way we’re basically opening the front door naked, welcome.
So let this be our first step into the water. See you downstream!
Anyways, NEVA LOVED YA! (j.k.) And don’t let the cock hit you on the way out…
