A new "free" downloadable webzine with an alt-country flair has come across my desk this week from Urban Prairie. Called, Refueled, founder, Chris Brown felt that there should be an alternative magazine in the country arena inspiring a younger generation, each issue published bi-yearly featuring collectors, shows, designers, decor, style and music. available may 12th.
COOL NEW ONLINE MAGAZINEThere's a great new online magazine I stumbled across called Refueled. I describe it as a magazine for people who enjoy searching for well-worn, gritty, rusty, and otherwise interesting stuff from flea markets found at the end of limerock roads. Collectors of objets d'art from everyday life.
If you dig the e-zine, you can also visit the companion Refueled blog. And if you still crave more design eye candy, visit Urban Prairie, the Web site of Refueled editor-in-chief Chris Brown. I love his stuff, even if some of it is slightly disturbing (e.g., a birdcage full of baby-doll heads).

An online magazine/blog called Refueled. It is all about country design with a modernized twist. For a long time I have called this style industrial country but I think their tag line captures the essence of the style - alternative country. Alternative because it incorporates many things that would have not been considered "country" by most country afficianados. It is far from mainstream and really interesting. One of my favorite books, Found Style, touched on this subject years ago but still remained fairly mainstream.
