The Believer – The 2006 Music Issue
Where:
Hopefully somewhere local but if not, definitely the McSweeney’s Store
The Believer is a magazine premised upon giving books and people the benefit of the doubt. Stating clearly that their features are not always timely, this title is a refreshing change in a publishing world largely driven by PR-led editorial. As part of the McSweeney’s stable it is not surprising then that The Believer looks at all things, including music, from a different angle.
The 2006 Music Issue is a publication that will give hope to all those depressed by the stagnant nature of music press. With features such as Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips) in conversation with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) about major labels and indie music, and authors Greil Marcus and Don DeLillo discussing Bob Dylan, it is easy to see that The Believer knows how to simultaneously intellectualise and have fun with the world of words and music.
If this is still not enough to make you drool then the issue also comes with a CD with songs from Calexico, Feist, Destroyer and The National and an article on the Numa Numa dance movement. The Believer – it’s not a cult, but it should be.
