FANZINE
The Love Language has been pegged with a storied mystique and an expected sound. Call the eponymous The Love Language LP a debut of lo-fi heartbreak if you must, but frontman Stuart McLamb and company have whipped up music some say is as big as Big Star, as anthemic as Arcade Fire or as classic as a Guided by Voices ge...m, and LL brings it with a patchwork wall of sound that only makes one wonder what the next, perhaps more refined, Merge Records LP will bring. But no pressure folks, really...Yeah right. Brian Howe reviews.Read More

It’s become a familiar story in recent years: The heartbroken singer pours his sorrows into a spontaneous, cheaply recorded album. Via the Internet, it strikes an unexpected chord with indie music fans. ...
FANZINE Jonathan Lethem has been cultivating under "an umbrella"... "ideas about identity, culture, history, cities, and loss" since 1999's Motherless Brooklyn, Daniel Hamilton writes in this review for Fanzine. Chronic city, Lethem's latest, is "a story about storytelling", one that unloads a giant gobstopper of a plot in the author's most postmodern novel to date.

Hello Kiddies, in case you never saw the 5 footish, screwy eyed, seemingly ever acid tripping, dangerously cowboy-booted Texan David Yow dive into a sea of people during the "Sea Sick" part of the Jesus Lizard's live set, see him float and mumble to demons intelligible only to him and those equally mesmerized by a bass... so driving you may as well be lowriding, freaknik circa 1990… well in case you never, then you've never seen a "stage dive." Weird thing is I am seeing them tonight at a place where the seats are screwed to the ground. Not sure how he'll be upheld in such a situation. Maybe I'll bring my screwgun. Check them on tour. Tonight in Atlanta, and the 16th in NY and other dates and places along the way up through Chicago.Read More

In 1988, deep in the pancreas of Texas, a guitarist named Duane Denison was hard at work breaking down a large chunk of the history of music into its most primal, indispensible components, and imagining some kind of uncompromising delivery to a live rock audience. ...
FANZINE One of the most productive and inventive authors we've read in years, Cohen is always a pleasure to have on Fanzine.

Writer Tao Lin (Shoplifting from American Apparel) and director Werner Herzog share a certain interest in
stunts that, rather than a means to an end, begin to seem like an
extension of the work itself. Herzog's film Heart of Glass
was performed almost entirely by a cast of hypnotized actors and, after
daring Errol Morris t...o complete his first documentary, Herzog famously
ate his own shoe. Tao Lin has funded his literary efforts in part by
selling shares in his forthcoming novel Richard Yates ($2000
per) and using eBay to sell Gmail chats with him on various substances
such as methadone, adderall, green juice and iced coffee. ($31-$61)

Stanley Kubrick remarked of his adaptation of Lolita, “If it had been written by a lesser author, it might have been a better film.” Through exquisite prose and writing style, revered authors like Nabokov evoke an emotional response that is essentially untranslatable to the screen. ...

The Flaming Lips have a new album out today, with a title that harkens either a new beginning or return to roots. You can guess which, but the main figuring problem (if we haven't already) is do we opt for the $40 furry version, the $13 Itunes or local indie store version, the $8 Best Buy basic version, rip it from a f...riend, or like one would as a deadhead, just get a tape of one of the live shows. Mark Gluth ponders here in fact why more don't follow this band in a caravan like those Phishheads do (the Lips have got their own carnivalesque show on, but way, way better). So read up, then listen, it's a doozy. Here's Embryonic.Read More
