Catalogue note
July 2003, Vol. 2 Issue 3 of Dazed & Confused, built around “Jena Malone and the New LA Underground.” The issue uses Malone’s cover and a Los Angeles editorial frame to map a specific early-2000s cultural moment across film, underground music, independent publishing, skate/art culture and fashion. Contents include The Mars Volta at the moment of De-Loused in the Comatorium, Stones Throw Records, Moving Units, Hollywood Forever Cemetery, LA indie magazines, Harry Dean Stanton and further LA-focused features; cover lines also point to Ed Templeton, Jason Schwartzman, Clifton Collins Jr., Jeremy Scott and Rankin. The object is a strong period document of Dazed looking outward from London and treating Los Angeles as an interconnected creative ecosystem rather than simply a celebrity location.
Why this object matters
The New LA Underground survey links independent music, publishing, skate/art and film in a coherent place-based original document. This substantive creative-network account supports outstanding 8.8 importance beyond the cover celebrity.
Evidence limits: Complete — all bound pages/components present under the standing TMR completeness rule; no missing separately issued component has been reported.
