Issue five available now:

Put the Music in its Coffin is back from a long hibernation for one last coming out party before self-imposed exile, and you’re invited to cum ahn pheel tha noize! Originally, the fifth and final issue was planned to be a collaborative effort of a small but admirable gathering of the minds from the underside of contemporary “music journalism,” but as your lone wolf “Editor” ‘aint exactly the networking type and can’t be bothered with follow up reminders/requests, it soon became clear that it was best to stick to the same format as the previous four. Here “The Journalist” lends his insights to a reappraisal of the harsher sides of early non-music, be it academic, underground, or decidedly above in nature, and discusses a few works in terms of the birth Hardcore Punk. Plus, a lengthy overview of Scott Foust’s career from the man’s biggest fan, himself, a long talk, rife with informed commentary on topics ranging from inept Japanese Prog. to Taylor Swift, with the duo that compromise what is currently Philadelphia’s most promising musical unit, Good Area, and a brief but poignant internet correspondence with one of Australia’s top exports of broken sound for over a decade strong, Matt Earle. Not to mention the typically bulging reviews section made even more so from the amount of time we’ve been away for and you’ve got an issue with as much content as the first four combined. 84 full size (11x17) pages with full color center spread. Good Gard what a way to go out!

In RE: to the prices, yes, I am aware that no one wants to pay this much for a shoddy little fanzine, and I don’t want to charge it, but this thing really is pretty damn thick, and thus cost a decent sum to print, the weight of which in turn effects shipping costs. Trust me, I am not making any money on this. Interested distros, please get in contact for wholesale rates.
