James Jackson Toth (better known by his nom de plume, Wooden Wand) and MAGNET go way back. We’ve been rabidly following his prolific, genre-eschewing career over the last decade: 100-plus records and counting, from short run seven-inches and handmade CD-Rs to major releases on some of the world’s most respected indie labels, including Kill Rock Stars, Ecstatic Peace and Young God, covering everything from the freakiest of folk to the most American rock ‘n’ roll money can buy. We’ve been lucky enough to have him as guest editor of magnetmagazine.com a couple of other times over the years, and he’s hooked us up with great mix tapes and been a constant source of great discussions about music. Toth will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new Q&A with him.
Toth: My wife says my latest beverage of choice is “some redneck shit,” especially when consumed via my preferred vessel: a Mason jar. But I have to carefully remind her that Yankees like me can’t actually be “rednecks”; we much prefer the term “white trash.” I don’t have the palette to distinguish good from bad wine, so I’m pretty happy to buy any $10 bottle of sauvignon blanc, ice it up and get blissfully, ignorantly pie-eyed.
