FEBRUARY UPDATE!
Holy flip this thing is really coming together! Buckle up! FWP 7 ought to feature two hefty interviews ...Gregg Turner! Storyteller, Meltzer collaborator and solo/groop artist of note, you know him, and Pat D. Hearse of Pittsburgh's THE PUKE, whose work has been collected beautifully by GET HIP records. Both interviews were swell as all hell!
Also in this one- book reviews of bio and autobio "In The Brewing Luminous" and "The Wanderer Talks Truth" ...Cecil Taylor and Dion... plus Lisa Carver's latest collection of exhibitions and her more Gulcheral work: "Lover of Leaving" (i had a PDF file for review but preorders for the real thing are available now) and "I Love Art" respectively.
Yeah, there are various music, film and anime reviews also that are more reflexive exercises than anything, and even a rave about a restaurant I had the pleasure to scarf at in recent months. Plus old-time style thrills/situation comedy from radioechoes, Suspense, The Whistler and Fibber McGee and Molly!
Big news is that #7 should be out by end of February, and ready to be gleaned at around rockin' events from coast to coast that I plan to air-mail my rags too, or appear at myself...
Just at the tail end of Black History Month, we also have white guys talking racism in 20th Century baseball: e-pal Lawrence on Jim Bouton's Ball Four... plus Michael Burke and Yankee Stadium- remembered in what I consider a Joycean fashion! -by Sabermetric and Meltzer authority REPOZ. Also! the JOY of the game, via the 21st Century Dayton Dragons.
Probably will have a bonus pamphlet related to the following also:
Anything else? YEAH! I do a non-radio show called Mr. Flap Jaw that I have completed 4 episodes of. It was supposed to be monthly, but #4 was an INTENSIVE 3-parter, 3 hours of German New Wave, punk industrial and even ska, power pop... that I'm real proud of. Hear it on archive.org:
love peace and chicken grease,
