We don’t know whats gotten into their Red Stripes as of recent, but the Fader people are making all sorts of weird announcements lately. First the publisher admits the mag is irrelevant, and now they released news that their going to issue a Japanese edition, but… we kid you not, it’s just going to be a heap of already published editorials from the US versions of the mag. Huh? It’s Japan, one of the most cutting edge countries where trains slide across magnets at 280mph and kids wear clothes that glow. Plus they’re always downloading the newest music, have the coolest gadgets, and certainly won’t be interested in last week’s shit let alone the last few months. If Fader really wants to break into the Asian market and be relevant, we know a place right north of the DMZ in Korea that would be enamored by their staleness.
