Shindig! 43

Another great issue of Shindig! magazine hits your newsagents this week. You'll find me on the review pages as ever, and in the Vinyl Art column playing with my volvelle. There's also a great fun Q&A with Jonny Trunk. Snap it up!

Dorothy Moskowitz in Shindig! 42

To coincide with Esoteric's new reissue of The United States of America's classic 1968 psychedelic electronic rock album, Shindig! magazine wanted a feature on the band—and I didn't hesitate to elbow my way in there.

I tracked down Dorothy Moskowitz and found her in fine form; smart, witty, and tanticular (yes I had to look that one up) as she patiently and happily indulged my lengthy and obtuse questions. It was a real pleasure to talk to her.

You can read her reminiscences of her time with the amazing USA in the 'LA Special' issue of Shindig! No.42, which is out today and contains a wealth of other great stuff to boot.

¡Mezcla Irregular Tres!

Oh look it's autumn already. I shortchanged you a bit last time so here's a whole hour of the music which kept my boat afloat all summer long.

Shindig! 41

Out now is Shindig! issue 41, in which I take a close look at a woman's bottom for my Vinyl Art column. Reviews include a new reissue from the sublime United States of America and a super (and silly) sampler from Trunk Records. Smashing.

Shindig! 39

Out today is Shindig! issue 39, featuring all the usual brilliant stuff you should be used to by now. This month I'm talking to the thinking man's crate-diggers and psychedelic motorik groove merchants The Soundcarriers about their hook-up with Ghost Box Records, reviewing a handful of LPs including a great collection of steamingly funky Bollywood Disco and a classic reissue of spacey electronica from Ruth White, and finally waxing lyrical about the cover art of 1969's glorious folk-psych album Sound of Sunforest. If there's a better publication on the high street I'll eat my floppy felt hat.

Shindig! 38

Shindig! Magazine has gone from 6 to 8 numbers per year, and issue 38, out this week, is a feast for those of a psychedelic inclination. I've got a whole bunch of reviews in there, including The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Dory Langdon, Angels Die Hard, and Teeth of The Sea, as well as a 'Vinyl Art' column on Vanilla Fudge.
