The second issue of "Loops", the wonderfully exciting, landmark collaboration between Domino and Faber, is coming soon.
"Loops" is a twice-yearly journal dedicated to engaging, intelligent and diverse writing about music.
Issue 2 of "Loops", the biannual journal dedicated to music writing from Faber and Domino, hosts essays from Andy Miller ("Est-ce, est-ce ce bon?: on Serge Gainsbourg's flirtation with Nazi chic on Rock Around the Bunker"), Dan Franklin ("Extremely Loud and Incredibly Fast: on Napalm Death and the Possibility of Life's Destruction") and Frances Morgan on Red Square's Thirty Three and the resonance of re-discovery after the event.
And then there's An Awfully Big Adventure, Paul Morley's spectacularly honest and exposing portrait of Michael Jackson and his debated legacy. Book shelves and tabloid columns have been blasting the ears of fans and critics alike since Jackson's death, yet very little has been heard. Morley corrects this by unravelling and indulging the myth to ask just who he was, how we came to piece him together through our collective desires and fears, and why his destiny so inevitably reflected the dysfunctionality of the culture. This expansive essay takes a refreshingly imaginative perspective on a story that too often focused on the apocryphal fantasy rather than the magic of the man himself. Morley’s fascinating essay inclines us not just to look at Michael Jackson but to look at ourselves – the very forces implicit in making the man The King of Pop.
