giant robot

I am singing Giant Robot magazine's praises since I was happily given four free back issues today by the Stanford Art Library, which I guess is cleaning out their "extra" stuff and left a pile of perfectly good mags out for the taking (EXTRA?!?--hmmmph! Like Giant Robot should not be kept and archived for eternity! Shame!) So now I get to wax poetic about the joys of GR...

Being an Asian lassie myself, imagine my relief about ten years ago now, when I stumbled across a magazine that, hey, was like, totally cool AND happened to be made by people who looked like me and was into the stuff i was into. More than just Asianophilia, GR is packed with music, film, and art reviews of all stripes, and no, you don't have to be of the yellow race to appreciate that (hee hee). Not to mention reviews on instant ramen, unpolitically correct cultural musings, and lots of shout outs to the Asian-Am peeps in LA and SF...Pick up a copy today or visit the website to order back issues and cruise online stuff...

Interesting GR tidbit of the day: I found out Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is half Korean...i *knew* she had some slant-eye in her :)
