good interviews with explode into colors and zola jesus as well as avant-garde composer eliane radigue. jim dickinson also worth reading, on race and music in 50s memphis. i like this magazine best when there's a better mix, not so heavy on music. the last yeti had an awesome interview with lynne tillman by sara jaffe. where is the lit stuff? okay the photos of abandoned amusement parks are pretty cool.
