ON THE COVER:
GRACE JONES BY TAMARA PALMER: Palmer delves into the entire history of this remarkable artist, who will naturally deliver us a stunning cover image. Jones is even more of a one of a kind musician and persona than most of us realize, so we’re extra excited to feature her on the cover of this issue.
DEEP ARCHIVAL DIVES WITH LIVING LUMINARIES:
PULP: Peeling back the onion of time, we are graced with a fine selection of ephemera and rare images from the forthcoming Hat + Beard book on the cult band’s cult band: I'm With Pulp, Are You?, by Mark Webber.
MAYO THOMPSON: Jasper Leach has delivered a stunningly good and very deep dive into the genesis and long life of Thompson’s masterpiece Corky's Debt to His Father. We’re not worthy!
REDD KROSS: They’ve already had a great double album and documentary readied for summer but in the Fall there’s also a definitive RK book so we enlisted Jen B. Larson to do a career-spanning feature on your favorite teen babes from Monsanto. Larson wrote Hit Girls: Women of Punk in the USA 1975-83.
MARY TIMONY: Mary Timony is one of the great guitar luminaries and songwriters of the indie era, but rarely does she get the credit she deserves. Audrey Golden, author of I Thought I Heard You Speak: Women at Factory Records, not only went into every nook and cranny of Timony’s career, but the first question she asked Timony is one for the ages: “Is that a lute?”
MORE MID-SIZED FEATURES ON BANDS WE LOVE, OR WILL SOON:
THE CHILLS: We put together a lovely tribute to Martin Phillipps, thanks to the work of three talented New Zealanders who knew him and his music the best.
THE SPATULAS: The PPM release of the recently bicoastal band is so good, so we went through each song in depth.
208: Leave it to Fred Thomas to hep us all to Detroit’s happingest garage-punk two-piece.
JANDEK: After our friend Jeff Economy put together the underground show of the year (sorry for the Dad joke!), with the representative from Corwood performing at the bottom of a mine, we put together a beautiful package about it, with amazing photos.
WINSTON HIGHTOWER: Prolific, smart as hell Columbus musician and skater talk about his great new record on K.
TROUBLE IN MIND: None other than Fred Thomas interviewed the duo behind the superb Chicago-based record label.
COLUMNS:
Record reviews, Lucy Sante, the advice column, and more Andy Zax excellence with his ‘Extinctophonics’ column.
LITERARY + VISUAL STUFF:
STACEY LEVINE: Mairead Case did a great interview with the hilarious, weird Seattle-based writer and PEN winner whose new book Mice 1961 is really friggin good.
HOLLY WOODLAWN: We’ve scored a sweet excerpt from the definitive bio on her, which will be published by Feral House shortly.
SARAH CHAIT: And we are excited to run an eight page spread of confessional style comix by the young artist–funny, poignant stuff.
