MAGGOT BRAIN #10: SEP-OCT-NOV FALL 2022 - Cover art by Detroit-based graphic artist Lucy Cahill depicts Wanda Jackson as an alien because why not; with additional recent works by her inside the issue. - - Glasgow’s justly beloved Belle & Sebastian- hot on the heels of a US tour and their best record in ages deliver unto us decades’ worth of posters and ephemera with an interview with Suart Murdoch on the history of the group’s aesthetics. - - Novelist and longtime friend David Gordon lets us run the full text of his archival talk with celebrated painter and author Duncan Hannah (RIP – and yes he goes into detail about the Lou Reed incident described in Please Kill Me). - - Kevin Esquire spent hours with Motown’s almost-star from the 1960s and ’70s Christina Carter and we have unpublished archival images and many amazing anecdotes. - - Speaking of Motown did you know that the son of the great Marxist/ Black liberation activist CLR James was in “mixed race” band Odyssey who had a record on Motown? We have a great feature on that. - - Fascinating discussion between guitarist-singer-songriter-innovators Chris Forsyth and Steve Wynn. - - We have an amazing excerpt from Ben Berton’s new book on Dan Treacy and the TV Personalities detailing how the first 7” came together and John Peel inadvertently named the band. - - Nate Carson goes deep on the Tony Iommi era of Black Sabbath. - - Why Buffy Saint-Marie matters now more than ever by writer and musician Emily Pothast. - - One of our favorite writers Sara Jaffe tells us how her own grandfather wrote the song “I’m My Own Grandpa”! No really! That alone is worth admission. - - Plus also too – there’s a terrific and long and excellently illustrated feature on the country and experimental steel guitarist Barry Walker Jr by Tom Humphrey. Our SF Indie Scene Report: 2022 is so well done that it’s going to knock your socks off. Plus Lucy Sante and Mimi Lipson and the tape column and Katie Lass on her soon-to-be classic ‘Hypnopomp’ LP and the great Jay Ruttenberg on Sessa whew. Plus also of course beautiful images galore and more besides.
