Check out Steve Aoki’s interview with MYMAG. So not too long ago, MYMAG went to the Barracuda store in Los Angeles for a DIMMAK launch (regular readers know I’m a fan) and pinned Steve down to take us behind the inspirations for his MYMAG, AOKI.

He explains his love of NYLON and Monster Children (unquestionably one of Australia’s coolest magazines, and a favorite of mine). He talks about BPM being the first magazine to put him on its cover — and, like all men, lets us in on his love for Gisele (you’ll get to see quite a lot of her in the V magazine section of AOKI!) He also pays tribute to his friend and mentor DJ AM, who passed away last year and to whom AOKI is dedicated.

The highlight is Steve’s insight into his personal section of AOKI — it’s filled with backstage/onstage/jumping offstage photos, all of which were taken by The Cobrasnake, whose star has risen alongside Steve’s; their careers have progressed in tandem over the years. Steve explains how they got started (dragging records through the streets of Tokyo!) and why his photos are so important to him.

E-mail newsletters from magazines are often not worth the time you spent filling in your e-mail address to receive them in the first place. They’re often dull, and you’ll suddenly find your inbox inundated with offers from companies you’ve never heard of and never want to hear from (half-price Viagra, anyone?). Well, my love of Wizard magazine recently prompted me to sign up to theirs (read last months piece here). Wizard’s newsletter is a one-stop shop for everything in pop culture today — and it’s published daily.  

Wizard’s principal topic of expertise is comics and the movies that accompany them, but with the GeekChicDaily team providing half the content, this e-newsletter now offers so much more than just comics. GeekChicDaily.com brings you breaking news and fun insights about movies, technology, gaming, toys and fashion, all with a twist of geek chic — I recently found a pair of Star Trek sneakers on there — which, if you’re smirking right now, is all a lot cooler than it sounds! The movies section is fabulous as well, and this is theplace to find all the most important gaming news the second it happens. If there’s even a little bit of geek in you, this is your newsletter…320,000 geeks already agree!
