september skinny

the new skinny's been about for a while already so you've probably already had a chance to browse its pages. if not, well, you should. it looks like this:

and as well as the cover feature (with the spiffing twilight sad), there are interviews with the lovely tori amos, part chimp, mew, anti-pop consortium and the dodos amongst others. braw.

but i wrote none of that. words of mine that made it to print include reviews of the frightened rabbit, the big pink, on histories of rosenberg, andrew w.k., pastels/tenniscoats (in an abbreviated and, oops, slightly incorrect form...), trashcan sinatras and strike the colours, and preview blurbs for hockey and gang of four.
