Al Green on the front, Q-Tip on the flip. It's another as always awesome issue of Wax Poetics, our favorite magazine covering hiphop, jazz, funk and soul. 128 pages, lots of the usual beautiful photography and vintage album art. And text too: features on Estonian Rare Groove, the Afrobeat of Orlando Julius, King Britt on soundtracks, afro-jazz trombonist Phil Ranelin, Headhunters drummer Mike Clark, the two cover stars, and of course much more. Dig!

Without a doubt, one of the most passionate and well written music magazines around. Now on their 30th issue, Wax Poetics has been a shining light for all of us who love and need plenty of soul, funk, psych and free minded jazz in our lives. This issue is "The Rock Issue" and there are some great articles on AQ favorites like Rodriguez, Black Merda and cover stars Bad Brains. Also a Turkish psych primer, memorial pieces on Bo Didley, Jimmy McGriff, Ike Turner and Buddy Miles, and more. There are really insightful features on the last great Elvis Presley record In Memphis, a great feature on Dave Bartholomew, interviews with The Rascals, Don Letts and Ernie Isley... Wax Poetics is really one of the only music magazines we devour and read cover to cover every issue. Informative and so well written, with such obvious love for the music they cover. Filled with tons of amazing photos as well, each issue always so cohesive and such an obvious labor of love.

Another awesome issue of one of the best music magazines around. This time out, AQ favorite Shuggie Otis is on the cover and there's a really interesting interview with him inside. Also featured are MF Doom, Slick Rick, Larry Coryell, Mickey Dread, Os Mutantes, and Patrick Adams. Nice memorial pieces on Isaac Hayes, Roy Shirley and Jerry Wexler. We could go on and on as we really do read Wax Poetics cover to cover and it's one of the few music magazines we always keep around as they lend themselves to repeated reads and second looks.

Sly Stone makes the cover (did he really have to wait 'til issue 32?), and inside there's the usual profusely and colorfully photo-illustrated, deep-digging stuff about the likes of Jean Grae, Egyptian Lover and Arabian Prince, Jimmy Cliff, Large Professor, Houston rappers HSID, and even South Korean B-boys! Among other things. In case you didn't know already, or figure it out from that run-down, Wax Poetics is THE magazine of cool hiphop/soul/funk/reggae/jazz hipness old and new, for vinyl fetishists and general groove-hounds, and as usual this issue is a must-read if you're at all into that stuff, and why the heck wouldn't you be?!

Yo, it's the "Philly Issue". Soul masters Gamble & Huff on the cover. ?uestlove from the Roots. Radio DJ Sonny Hopson. Vibraphonist Vincent Montana Jr., and the whole Philly jazz scene back in the day. The Stylistics. And plenty more!! (But wait, where's Schooly D?) As usual, this magazine of all things groovy (jazz, funk, hiphop, soul, disco...) and worth diggin' delves deep with extensive interviews and colorful pictures.

THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

SORRY. I love looking at color pictures of old LP covers. Doesn't even really matter if they're rad rare soul/funk/jazz gems. But if they are, so much the better. Wax Poetics magazine is definitely a good place to find articles illustrated with such cover pics. And lots of other cool photos too. And the reading is fine as well, if you're into old-school hip hop, '60s and '70s jazz-funk, today's hip underground producers, that sort of thing. This ish: Charles Wright, Afrika Bambaataa, "unknown funk hero" Rickey Calloway, Jimmy McGriff, DJ Nu-Mark, the art director from CTI Records, some folks involved in the making of the Wattstax movie, free jazz saxophonist John Klemmer...some we've heard of before, others we're glad to meet.

Chicago university professor Deena Weinstein unleashes the revised edition of her 1991 scholarly study of heavy metal!! We loved her on NPR's Anthem talkshow, playing Emperor and other metal, and discussing the differences between speed metal, thrash metal, and black metal, in an intellectual, but genuinely enthusiastic manner, unlike some of the 'ironic' poseurs featured on the same show, who shall remain nameless. Weinstein's book is a balanced and academic look at heavy metal music, its fans, and its role in society. This new edition adds a new 'Metal in the '90s' chapter, as well as an updated list of '100 Definitive Metal Albums' that now includes Arcturus and At The Gates, In Flames and Hammerfall, etc. Essential for all serious fans of either cultural studies or heavy metal, preferably both!

Latest issue of this eminently readable and gorgeously laid out New Zealand music and arts magazine. Always chock full of amazing obscurities and usually at least one or two artists or musicians you actually have heard of just so you don't feel completely out of touch. This issue features, a piece on the Pink And White Terraces, at one time, New Zealand;s "Eighth Wonder Of The World", installation artist Hany Armanious, artist and photographer Yvonne Todd, the mighty Merzbow (oh, we know him!), LA writer and filmmaker Chris Kraus, a bunch of drawings by artist Peter Robinson, Kiwi female fronted rap duo Coco Solid, a brief piece on the Dead C's Bruce Russell (we know him too!), a report on Christchurch's 4th Biennial of Public Art, an excerpt from the Biennial's blog, Korean 'junk' artist Choi Jeong Hwa, plus still more art, tons of photos, illustrations, drawings, some fiction, and more more more. All wrapped up in a striking full color cover. Awesome.

Endtroducing is still an amazing record, all these years later, fresh and weird and mysterious. Few (read:none) have even come close. Another killer book in this series that lets you read all about want went down during the making of DJ Shadow's hip hop / trip hop classic.

The bulk of them are live rock and candid shots taken between 1991 and 2003, and the subjects run the music gamut. On an initial quick flip-through we spotted all of those mentioned above. Whew! Jeff Winterberg went to a lot of shows! And guess what? The price is listed at $25.00, but we've got 'em for 17.98. Neat!

...can't live without it: The Wire! Another monthly installment of adventurous music coverage from our friends in England. This, the July issue, has been eagerly anticipated 'round these parts due to its cover feature on Keiji Haino. Yay! We just got it in today, so we haven't read the article yet, but we expect writer Alan Cummings, already a Tokyo psych expert and Haino authority, to delve deep and insightfully into his world. Another big AQ fave, Philip Jeck, is interviewed this month, along with features on DJ/Rupture, the WordSound label, and John Coltrane, etc. Plus a Nurse With Wound Primer, and of course tons of reviews. A good ish indeed! (We see from Haino's cover pic that he -- now 50 years old -- is showing some more gray in his hair. What if he also slowly adjusted his all-black wardrobe into shades of gray and then to all-white as his hair fades? Wouldn't that be cool?)

THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

These lists are sure to spark some dissension, 'round AQ they did anyway!

There's a Primer on 'Spectral Music', and this year's Burning Man rates 2 pages as well. Then there's lots more, the usual plethora of reviews and such.
