What’s New at Silent Motorist Media?

If things have seemed a bit quiet around here for the past few days, it hasn’t been for a lack of activity on our end. In fact, we’ve been hard at work with a slew of new projects and site additions for you. Some of these we can’t quite announce yet. The purpose of this post is to announce the ones we can.

  • Silent Motorist Media is officially on YouTube! That’s right, we’ve done the unthinkable and created a YouTube channel. The fact is, we’re getting so much new material to review that adapting to video format is the only logical way to proceed. For now, we’re shifting most of the album review load over to YouTube in addition to a handful of short book reviews and reader responses. While we’re still adapting to this platform and far from professional YouTubers, we’re planning on adding new content specifically designed for YouTube starting… well, now. Go ahead and subscribe to our channel to help us get this show on the road!
  • FAVOR! Magazine Release: Bob Freville and I have been working on a fun little project to explore our more satirical and humorous inclinations. This project is FAVOR!, a “fashion, health, and… ahem… culture” magazine edited by the unbelievably unlikeable and literally fake SMM associate, Slade Bower. I like to think of FAVOR! as something like Vogue meeting Adult Swim (after getting addicted to banned weight-loss supplements and spending way too much time watching Memory Hole). We’re confident that FAVOR! was pretty damn fun to make… and that’s about it. This DEFINITELY NSFW publication will be ready for download within the next day or so. While FAVOR! definitely isn’t for everyone, we’re sure those with a more twisted sense of humor will appreciate this mess. Oh, and here’s the cover, just so you can get a taste of the ridiculousness that awaits.
  • We’ve also launched an apparel store! Here, you can purchase SMM tee-shirts, hoodies, and more to support the writers and our free author promotional service. Below is a picture of me sporting our Faces of Horror: Cosmic design. Click on the link to visit!

That’s it for now. Don’t worry, there’s more on the way. Thank you for reading, and we hope you’ll stick around for the weirdness to come.
