Description
MAGGOT BRAIN, a new, full-colour quarterly brought to you by Third Man Records, under the eye of the 'zine wizard Mike McGonigal.
Over 100 pages packed with phenomenal content - art, music, literature, and unpublished archival stuff + more.
About our editor: Mike McGonigal - The Detroit resident, who was a music editor for Amazon in the '90s has written about art and music for Spin, the Village VOICE, Artforum, and Index,.
He's written two books, on cult indie-rock acts Galaxie 500 and My Bloody Valentine. And his gospel compilation reissues have garnered acclaim from the New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and the New Yorker.
It's McGonigal's work as the publisher/editor of the highly-regarded fanzines 'Chemical Imbalance' (1984-1994) and 'Yeti' (2000-2013) that impressed us the most.
