TECHNOCULTURE

Posted by Daniel Stout on Thu 6 Apr 2000 at 12:00 PM

I’m beginning a marketing campaign for fish soon & I’m looking for people to help. This will involve spreading stickers around, handing flyers to people, placing classified ads in local papers, radio interviews, print interviews, and all other manner of propaganda. There are two stated goals to the campaign - 1) let people know about the existence of danielstout.com and 2) increase the number of submissions to fish - both the zine and the e-zine.

Nights here in my apartment I’ve been planning the thing and thinking of ways to maximize exposure per dollar spent. If the corporate funding comes through we’ll be doing some billboards along the highways and possibly a TV spot. Judging by the feedback I’ve gotten people are excited about fishthing, many wondering when the next issue is coming out.

Today I sit at the computer, a cappuccino at my side, thinking too of William Gibson’s latest book, All Tomorrow’s Parties. I read it the other day and like all of his books I rather enjoyed it. But it got me thinking about technoculture. Wouldn’t an issue of fish be fun if we all donned skin-tight black leather and wore wrap-around mirrorshades. I’m still thinking of a title for the next issue of fish. Any suggestions?

I have a package coming from CDNOW today or tomorrow. Should be good. It’s got Meat Beat Manifesto’s 99% and the Matrix sndtrk. and also vinyl of Ben Folds Five. Yeah, go figure, huh? My vinyl collection continues to grow. I’ve found that a number of old albums have been reissued lately. I’ve picked up some old Pixies, NIN, Sonic Youth and stuff like that. At any rate I’ll be heading out now. Drop me a line.
