MAGGOT BRAIN - Maggot Brain #4 (Mar/Apr/May 2021)

"Maggot Brain is a full-color, quarterly magazine edited by noted Detroit scribe Mike McGonigal: 100+ pages packed with phenomenal content -- art, music, literature, unpublished archival material, and more -- with a simple promise to only exist on the printed page. Contents: Luc Sante on 'Crawdaddy' magazine; Debut publication of often hilarious and always droll memoirs by Stuart Moxham (Young Marble Giants, Gist, solo, etc); Murat Cem Mengüç' dramatic tale of when Sun Ra and the Arkestra visited Istanbul, Turkey in 1990; The fantastic and true story of electro-pop pioneer, runway model, and Eve Babitz-ish character Ann Steel, which has never fully been told before now; In conversation with comedy guru Tom Scharpling in advance of the publication of his moving and hilarious new autobio; Archival interview by Steve Lafreniere with 'Honeymoon Killers' star Shirley Stoler; Overviews of new music from David Nance, Patricia Brennan, and Pharoah Sanders with Floating Points. We're so enamored with the Floating Points/Sanders collaboration that we had no less than Andy Beta go off on it at length, for what is our first 'real' record review (as we're a quarterly, that's not something we'll do too often but the stars aligned.)" - Maggot Brain.
