Montag… in 200 words.

 

There has been considerable lapse between issues of the zine. My apologies to patient bands and artists of the past who have suggested or asked for reviews among its pages, but now that it has a spot somewhere in the computer tubes that make up the Internet, I expect to crank out Montag pieces more frequently and, at least for purposes of local accessibility, it will still be available in a hardcopy format.

The zine is likely to migrate once more to a legitimate web page, but for now, it suffices to remain in blog format, which technically makes what was intended to be an actual e-zine more simply a blog, which means having to translate the traditional zine issues with somewhat limited features. Montag is now broken into three blogs, each being mutually linked to the other. The primary page is Montag the Zine which mostly contains music-related content like album and show reviews, band profiles, mix tape music videos, and back-issue items. The spin-offs are the movie-related Muvika (pronounced moo-vee-ka) and a (digital media) policy-related blog yet to be named.
