stephen dohnberg, one of ranger's all-star music reviewers, writes to us about the following "wacky experiment":

"this is CHEEZ - E - but we entered Jam With Pam (pamela anderson)...i know this sounds ridiculous - but this is something i am kind of plying an experiment on. it would be a cool contest to win ($38,000 US recording time). but i'd like to see if i can rally the support and see what the results are...ok god. i sound silly."

so if you have a moment, support the ranger family and rock the vote.

the world wide web is the largest human network in existence. yet, to a large degree, the web does not reflect the quirky personalities of real, individual people.

rangermag is about self-expression through visual media, and our appreciation for some people and things that make life great: musicians, artists, writers, travel, technology, opinions, and stories.

this issue was inspired by:
modest mouse, 2pac, built to spill, chicane, wolfsheim, new order, rabbit in the moon, ride, slowdive, the cars, silkworm, sade, outkast, zeldman, nomeansno, the hanson brothers, and joao gilberto.
