Check out who's on the cover of issue 2 of Loops, a biannual journal of music writing http://www.exacteditions....663/2/1/0/
Launched in July 2009, Loops is a new biannual journal of music writing from two great independents, Faber and Faber and Domino Records.
It offers a landscape for today’s exceptional writers to engage with subjects, individuals and issues that colour all corners of the pop music world. Free from the shackles of release schedules, Loops provides a space for artists to publish tour diaries, non-sequiturs and think-pieces and an opportunity for writers to stretch out and go off-map to share their thoughts and ideas. [...] Issue 2 hosts essays from Andy Miller (on Serge Gainsbourg), Nick Kent (on 1973), Matt Thorne (on Prince) and Frances Morgan (on Red Square), as well as an incredible lead piece by Paul Morley on Michael Jackson. Their website is @ http://loopsjournal.com/ . © Bart Van Hemelen

A bit more info:
http://www.guardian.co.uk...usic-press From Owen Hatherley's structurally sound dismantling of the Anthony H Wilson memorial consensus re the connection between Manchester's music and its architecture, to Miriam Linna's tender autobiographical account of her interaction with the Cramps' Lux Interior; from Andy Miller's meticulous romp through Serge Gainsbourg's bad taste landmark Rock Around the Bunker, to Matt Thorne's rare head-to-head with Prince proteges Wendy and Lisa (revealing – among other things – the true extent of the Minneapolis pocket rocket's antipathy towards the Beatles); the second Loops contains a happily high proportion of articles which it is hard to imagine turning up anywhere else. And such enlightened and imaginative commissioning poses a timely challenge to the increasingly entrenched sense of entitlement which has been discernible in British broadsheet newspaper rock coverage in recent years. © Bart Van Hemelen

This looks like it would be an interesting read. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Seems like he's turned completely around on that these days with his rampant Beatles covers he does live. (With A Little Help From My Friends, Long and Winding Road, Come Together... any I'm forgetting?) My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid
