Faux-Democratizing Links Section * Opportunity Knoxxxxxx

In the spirit of broadening the Giant’s beholden link section (**SELF AGGRANDIZING CONTAINED** since our link taste is so badass), and because we already have established ourselves firmly in the elite anti-email response genre of outfits like Octopus, Action Yes, Pitchfork, Dump Tumumbulum, and etc., here is your opportunity to help us help ourselves so that we quit looking like secret handshakehandjob daddies (which we are).

The links section of the Giant (seen to the right here, and inclusive of only a small smattering of print presses and online journals, etc.) was constructed in about 8 minutes of ‘this is what I look at most’ from one editor’s head. The sole criterion, outside of being places often frequented, was that the aesthetic of the journal, or such places, is in its own way singular and tasty. That is, no ug pieces and no ga-ga. Beyond this short list, there are several many places I go at to do looks, but these are the ones I thought of in those 8 minutes.

Now, readers, I open it up to you: who should we be linking. All suggestions will be taken whole-heartedly, if then either ignored or scoffed at for their self-pointing, or just laziness, or just because the whole intentionally smarmy tone insists that we now ignore any fruits that are borne from it.

Really we like a lot of people, and we just haven’t felt the urge.

But yeah, let’s hear it. What should be linked? Should we include authors or just institutions? What deserves attention? How many people we aren’t already sucking on read this site anyway?

How far up my own ass should my fist fit?

Am I getting older too fast? Is the Sunn o))) discography a bunch of ass-palpitating bullshit or is the sound my refrigerator makes actually a deleted Steve Reich composition?

What happened to all the tits?

      Sunn 0))) clears out my sinuses. I can’t speak for the rest of their catalog, but Black One makes me very very very very very very happy.

      And Stephen O’Malley is a bad ass designer.

      i’ll probably think of more later but these for sure: Dogzplot, Robot Melon.

      I’d say Lamination Colony too if I could be sure that you wouldn’t use an unpleasant sexual metaphor to describe my saying so….

      I second Eyeshot and Noemi and Dogzplot.
      I really want Noemi to see me across the room and fall in love with me.

      I think on Mean Mondays you should just have a long list of links to sites that you don’t really want to link to. That would be bitchy and make me laugh.
