Slubbing It With The Dailies
The thing about the dead-tree press is that, in contrast to bottom-feeding blogs like this one, who favour rumor and speculation over well researched facts, you can always rely on them as a respected source of quality information.
In this past Sunday’s Tagesspiegel for example we read that this journal is in fact called “Slub Magazine”. We stand duly corrected, and have made the necessary adjustments to the masthead, which will remain in place until columnist Kolja Reichert decides to fire up his browser in a flurry of post-press research, and then apologise publically for this heinous slur.
Further more, we read that Slub Magazine “resides a couple of houses further up the street” from Arno Brandlhuber’s much talked about Teutonic Favelaâ„¢ on Brunnenstraße 9. The assumption here is probably that SLAB is some venerable, centrally organised institution, shacked up in the bar ‘Kim’, with which the co-editor of this chronicle is associated, paying rent to Jean-Remy von Matt ”¦ two grubby archi-hacks bivouacking in the basement of a dive bar, living off Mitte’s gin and peanut vernissage circuit.
