MAGGOT BRAIN, a new, full-colour quarterly brought to you by Third Man Records, under the eye of the 'zine wizard Mike McGonigal. Over 100 pages packed with phenomenal content - art, music, literature, and unpublished archival stuff + more. About our editor: Mike McGonigal - The Detroit resident, who was a music editor for Amazon in the '90s has written about art and music for Spin, the Village VOICE, Artforum, and Index,.
