Jane (magazine)
''Jane'' was an American magazine created to appeal to the women who grew up reading '' Sassy'' magazine; Jane Pratt was the founding editor of each. Its original target audience (pitched to advertisers) was aged 18–34, and was designed to appeal to women who did not like the typical women's magazine format. Pratt originally intended the magazine to be named ''Betty'', but she was voted down by everyone else involved in the making of the magazine. History and profile ''Jane'' was launched in September 1997; the final issue was dated August 2007. The events surrounding the magazine's folding were chronicled through the experiences of two assistants on the Soapnet series ''The Fashionista Diaries''. The magazine was published on a monthly basis. ''Sassy'', created by Pratt in 1987, was intended to appeal to adolescent girls, but because of its sexual candor and coverage of topics other teen magazines did not touch, such as the riot grrrl movement, its popularity exploded beyond ...

He has played a wide variety of music, loosely fitting into several other genres such as hardcore punk, math rock, post-rock, electronica, folk rock and indie pop.

Joya (album)
''Joya'' is the fifth studio album by American musician Will Oldham. It was released on Drag City in 1997 as the first album billed to his name, rather than the Palace or Bonnie "Prince" Billy monikers. It also features Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, and David Pajo. In 2007, when the album became available for download through iTunes, the artist credit was changed to Bonnie "Prince" Billy, with altered artwork reflecting the change. Critical reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying, "it's a promising, ultimately unfulfilling record that doesn't quite prove whether Oldham is a songwriter of pretense or genuine talent." Rob O'Connor of ''Entertainment Weekly'' gave the album a B+ grade, calling it "hypnotic and sublimely bizarre."

I See A Darkness
''I See a Darkness'' is the sixth album by American musician Will Oldham, released on Palace Records on January 19, 1999 as the first album under the name Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The album features appearances from Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, Paul Oldham, David Pajo, and Peter Townsend. Critical reception ''I See a Darkness'' received widespread critical acclaim from music critics.

Gregg Rounds of AllMusic wrote that it showcased "a more melodic style than the veteran Palace listener might be used to", while at the same time noting that Oldham "hasn't abandoned his foundation of mordant lyrics and minimalist arrangements, but he has built a variety of different layers that make this album an emotional and pleasurable listening experience". ''The A.V. Clubs Stephen Thompson remarked that ''I See a Darkness'' was the "most appropriate synthe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hypertext Fiction
Hypertext fiction is a genre of electronic literature, characterized by the use of hypertext links that provide a new context for non-linearity in literature and reader interaction. The reader typically chooses links to move from one node of text to the next, and in this fashion arranges a story from a deeper pool of potential stories. Its spirit can also be seen in interactive fiction. The term can also be used to describe traditionally-published books in which a nonlinear narrative and interactive narrative is achieved through internal references. James Joyce's ''Ulysses'' (1922), Enrique Jardiel Poncela's '' La Tournée de Dios'' (1932), Jorge Luis Borges' ''The Garden of Forking Paths'' (1941), Vladimir Nabokov's ''Pale Fire'' (1962), Julio Cortázar's '' Rayuela'' (1963; translated as ''Hopscotch''), and Italo Calvino's ''The Castle of Crossed Destinies'' (1973) are early examples predating the word "hypertext", while a common pop-culture example is the ''Choose Your Own Adven ...
