Explosive-Cargo 94: The Best Of The Beginning
explosive-cargo's here!
"Clueless CEOs, egomaniacal engineers, dim-witted trade press hacks, Proftalk, Depth Charges, BERNIE the larcenous (and lecherous) virtual sidekick, Stewdspeak, bobbing for leeches, GATEKEEPIR the ghastly net-denizen …they're back!"
Before blogs, before social networking, before the Web itself…there were "ezines," personal publications emailed to their readers. Michael Jay Tucker's explosive-cargo (Xcargo) was one of the most popular ezines of the 1990s, with a subscriber list of over a 1000 and a pass along readership of maybe ten times that. A wild compendium of comedy, political commentary, tender personal essays, and just plain silliness, Xcargo had fans all over the 'Net.
Belfort & Bastion is delighted to announce that the original Xcargos are now available in book form. Explosive-Cargo 94: The Best Of The Beginnings contains some of the very first Xcargo columns—including the hysterical introduction of BERNIE and the premier of "Depth Charges (the lowest form of explosive-cargo)" as well as Tucker's homage to domestic bliss, "House," and his grieving response to anti-Abortion violence in "Brookline 1994."
Check back often. More Xcargo titles are coming soon.
