Maggot Brain レコード& CD

Notes: On the cover:

Grace Jones by Tamara Palmer: Palmer delves into the entire history of this remarkable artist, who will naturally deliver a stunning cover image. Jones is even more of a one of a kind musician and persona than most of us realize, so Maggot Brain 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.

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 Maggot Brain enlisted Jen B. Larson to do a career-spanning feature on your favourite 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:

The Chills: Maggot Brain 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 Maggot Brain went through each song in depth.

208: Leave it to Fred Thomas to help us all to Detroit's happingest garage-punk two-piece.

Jandek: After 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, Maggot Brain 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 about her new book Mice 1961.

Holly Woodlawn: Maggot Brain have scored a sweet excerpt from the definitive bio on her, which will be published by Feral House shortly.

Sarah Chait: Maggot Brain are excited
