Asians on my turf

By Mark | July 15, 2010

Linette and I, as many of you know, used to be extremely important in the publishing world. For over a dozen years, we churned out issues of the enormously influential magazine Crimewave USA. We sold thousands of copies, all around the world, and had A-list trendsetters like Steve Hughes and John Coffin begging to get [...]

Concentrate

By Mark | May 19, 2010

If you haven’t seen it yet, the folks at Concentrate posted a long article about me and my projects today. I’d like to thank Tanya Muzumdar, the writer of the piece, for attempting to make sense out of my two hours of unfocused rambling, and Dave Lewinski for the photos. For what it’s worth, I’d [...]

Crimewave USA magazine, first member of the Dead Magazine Club

By Mark | February 16, 2010

I guess the folks at Utne Reader must have appreciated the little magazine that Linette and I used to publish. They just launched a new website called the Dead Magazine Club, where they bemoan the loss of great periodicals, and they chose Crimewave as their very first entry. Apparently they want to know what’s become [...]

Daniel Johnston in Ann Arbor

By Mark | August 2, 2009

One of my favorite artists, Daniel Johnston, is going to be playing at Ann Arbor’s Blind Pig on Sunday, August 16. If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing him perform, I’d highly recommend it. Here, by way of introduction, is a video of him performing the song Living Life not too long ago in [...]

Shadow Art Fair live blog

By Mark | July 18, 2009

11:00 Super busy. No time to write…. Someone must have smuggled in a cello or something. I can hear it coming from across the room, and it sounds great.
8:44 I’ve got great videos that I want to post, but it looks like my camera battery has died… I’m pissed off.
6:20 The special Shadow Brew just [...]

Ok, so here’s my obligatory post on the hipster grifter

By Mark | April 19, 2009

Every once in a while, something wonderful happens that brings us together as a nation. A hot, blonde teacher beds a burnout eighth-grader in front of his buddies. A bug-eyed bride-to-be lies about being abducted in order to escape her impending wedding to some poor schlub. Or, a certifiably insane narcissist convinces a shady [...]

zines as public service

By Mark | April 14, 2008

The Ann Arbor News ran a piece today on zines that mentioned both Crimewave and the very neat zine course that Linette’s developed at EMU. Here’s a clip:

…In the “Zines” class she teaches at Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti resident and “Crimewave” zine co-creator Linette Lao teaches her students how to make their own zines, and [...]

crimewave #16 is destined to be a rare collectors item

By Mark | December 6, 2007

“Hey, Mark, what should I get my loved one this holiday season?” I must hear it a couple dozen times a day. I usually just shrug my shoulders and say, “Oprah’s got a list.” Today, however, I’ve got something much better…. The new issue of “Crimewave” is finally out, and I guarantee that it’s [...]

a call for mm.com testimonials

By Mark | June 2, 2007

Linette and I are working on the new issue of Crimewave, and I’m thinking about putting in an ad for MM.com. Right now, I’m thinking of pitching it as a kind of self-help site. So, in that spirit, I’d like to ask those of you who are willing to jot down and submit a testimonial. [...]
