VINYL ARCHEOLOGY:

So here you have it: a travel issue from your favorite music magazine. This time out, we’re bringing you some music that you might actually hear when you go the places you go: our front cover stars Bloc Party gig in London and are touring like crazy for their new album Silent Alarm, while our back cover artist Kano rips London mics as well-he’s the grime MC to watch for 2005. We’re also bringing you a story on the kings of Japanese psych Yura Yura Teikoku, an update on the improbable insanity of Baltimore’s regional music scene and a first-hand account of the mutations of Eastern Europe’s ethnic folk music …all of it real music happening in real places you can get to. We’d be heading out again if we weren’t in the lab creating our next issue, the Spring Photography Special.
