Given MAGNET’s detailed coverage of the end of the Mendoza Line—a beloved, ragtag countrypolitan bar band that went up in flames in 2007—it only seems fitting that we have plenty of access to the formation of the Jescos, the new group featuring the Mendoza Line’s Timothy Bracy and Wooden Wand’s James Jackson Toth, as well as Bracy’s wife, singer Elizabeth Nelson. Bracy has found his rambling pub-rock foil in Toth on the forthcoming Remembrance Of Things Trashed, a debut album that guts it out for rock ‘n’ roll glory. Read our Q&A with Toth and Bracy.
James Jackson Toth: I’m happy to see Found Magazine getting popular. Voyeuristic and clever, Found celebrates the folly of mere humanness, with all of the inherent tragedy, disappointment, mundanity and joy. You find yourself reading the shopping lists of strangers and being inexplicably engrossed. Society of the spectacle, indeed.
