that Randy Holden interview is something else ... I can't understand why the Population II duo of guitarist + simultaneous drummer and keyboardist didn't work out
part 2 of the Lenny Kaye interview is great, especially the part about ghosting Waylon Jennings' autobiography

New one just dropped into my letterbox yesterday.I think State records may be the only place in the UK who have it now. Not sure if you needed to prebook a copy.Had happened to walk into Rough Trade East on the day of teh Flying Luttenbachers show over Xmas and saw it on th ecounter. Not sure what else is actually open anyway.
Anyway great stuff.

There was only ever going to be one cover story this time around, sadly:
Celebrating the USPS and all it has provided given not just one but two things in the mail today. First, the new _Ugly Things_ issue, with the only possible cover given Phil May's passing three months back... pic.twitter.com/ED5u76THcD— Ned Raggett (@NedRaggett) August 12, 2020

Just picked that up copy up myself. Thankfully this seems to be the only music magazine (well, Rolling Stone, but that barely counts) my newsstand is still getting during the pandemic. No Wire, no Decibel, no Mojo, no Uncut, but I was really glad for a new Ugly Things to show up.

that's a good interview ... Jonathan Richman's annotated sketches of VU guitar gear are also cool

yeah agree. spoiler alert: gretsch country gentleman + added strat pickup + heavy flatwound strings + high action + stereo outputs into vox superbeatle.

Indeed both those pieces are great. Another striking issue

New issue arrives with some sad news: Don Craine of the Downliners Sect, whose "Movin' On Down the Line" columns were always a very entertaining read, passed in February. Won't be the same without his missives, and I am glad they were able to get in some live shows in recent times.
