Subject: some recent magazines


Last month's Spin: they had a full page Butthole Surfers review and a
full page Surfers interview, and they wouldn't put the Surfers' name
on the cover. Are these guys afraid they'll scare the trendies away
or what???

This month's Spin: so Spin decides to carry Jimbo. Does this mean I'll
have to buy every issue now? (please, no, no... :-) The first instalment
looks much slicker and comprehensible (heh) than older Jimbo strips
I've seen...

The latest OPtion: Interesting (but too short) interview with Fred Frith.
Also Chris Cutler and Tom Hodgkinson (sp.?), and differing views from
Jon Hassell and Wim Mertens (sp.?) on Third World influences on new music.
