Worth noting, especially for those on the continent (as opposed to those in the drift), the excellent new paypal (etc) distribution site VOLCANIC TONGUE, set up to collect/catalog/aggregate/disseminate all things “free folk, new weird america, psych, industrial, experimental, outsider, avant garde, free jazz, minimalism, sound poetry, blues, hillbilly, jugband, noise, punk, bluegrass, american primitive, basement scum”. They are also the exclusive UK outlet for labels like Apostasy, Child of Microtones, & Hototogisu’s Heavy Blossom label. For those who can’t get enough out-folk in their lives. Generally very small-pressings and rarities for the obsessed.

Also, if’n you haven’t read Chloe Veltman’s extremely entertaining article “The Passion Of The Morrissey”, Beliver has archived it online, free: http://www.believermag.com/exclusive/morrissey/
