New Media, Old Style: The Morning Brief

Don't miss the weekly Los Angeles online periodical -- newsletter? diary? journal? magazine? blog? website? -- written and edited by David Loomstein, a tireless observer of local music, movies, media, mores, and more.

Periodicals: McSweeney's et al

McSweeney's, you need to know, is not so much a website as it is an "Internet tendency." The site aggregates the online presences of "Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, a journal created by nervous people in relative obscurity;" The Believers, a monthly magazine "where length is no object;" and Wholphin, a quarterly DVD of short films, docs, instructional videos, foreign sitcoms, and other cinema hybrids "designed to make you feel the way we felt when we learned that dolphins and whales sometimes, you know, do it." <http://www.mcsweeneys.net>
