That's too bad. I wonder if it's b/c Mayo's mobility is limited (he was using a cane at the L.A. show).

The interviews (and photos) in the zine are so great... it's really a dream come true if you're a fan of this era. Highly recommended!

Just thought I'd share this, as it really made me laugh:

MAYO THOMPSON: I loved the record. I loved that sound. I think it's a very successful record and I now understand why it was not a hit. I had never thought the content would be counted as controversial. It didn't ever occur to me until when I saw my father in Houston. He had been at a golf game with his legal cronies and one of them asked, "How's your Marxist rock band going, Mayo?" I didn't know that people saw it that way. I thought people just listened to music.

Hahaha. The Rough Trade era is just about the Marxist-est thing I can think of in all of popular music.Bless.

From Drag City News"

WHAT COMES AFTER ART, MYSTERY? DO THE MATH!

“After Math begins where Art, Mystery, the first installment in Mr. Thompson’s two-part novel, left off. The chrome trader Perlat Tile has just witnessed the criminal Pablo Palbon attempt to smuggle a small erotic bronze by Pollaiuolo out of Tirana disguised as a funeral urn. The ensuing trial — described in After Math — pits the gallerist Ms. Jasmine, who wants to acquire the work legitimately, against the state of Albania, which also claims ownership of it. Written in the impeccable prose that we have come to expect from Mr. Thompson, After Math proves that what happens after a plot is foiled can be just as delightful as the action itself.”

— Michael Sanchez

A new novel from the mind of Mayo Thompson is upon all who travel with us! Best known for his work with the psychedelic band, The Red Krayola, After Math is the sequel to Thompson's 2018 novella Art, Mystery. After Math retails what becomes of the cast of characters introduced in Art, Mystery, joint and severally pursuing an erotic Rinascimento statuette attributed to Antonio Pollaiuolo, a pursuit that lands them in court. On the way, their collective and singular fates are unfolded and accounted for, the consequences of the truth of matters for them are brought to bear and a kind of rough justice is seen to have been done, as is appropriate in rough trade.

Pre-order your hardcover copy or audiobook (as read by Mayo himself!) before the publication date of September 1st.

Oh man. I saw him read a big chunk of this at the Kitchen. Had no idea what to expect. I don't know that anybody did. It was just billed as Mayo Thompson at the Kitchen or something. All the cool kids were there and he read and I was totally lost. I did not notice until now that Drag City published that first novel in 2018.

Cool, I gotta read these (I hate that Mayo is at an age where my heart skips when I see this thread revived).

Mayo was awesome tonight! He seemed revitalized, compared to the last few times I saw him. And the band was hot! Such a great show.
