As 2013 has come to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors.
For the past 20 years, Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss have made passionate, raucous music in Quasi. In the beginning, their partnership was marital as well as musical, but it continued past their divorce and concurrent with their work in other bands: Coomes in Heatmiser with Elliott Smith when Quasi began, and later as a guest with Built To Spill; Weiss as a member of Sleater-Kinney, Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks and Wild Flag. Mole City (Kill Rock Stars) is a culmination of Quasi’s many strengths: its oversaturated and distorted sound, its singsong and shouted melodies, its controlled abandon. Coomes will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Quasi feature.
Coomes: It’s basically a done deal anyway; let’s not drag out the process. Let’s put some energy into it, git ‘er done. It’s good for everyone, except maybe homophobes. Actually, its good for them, too, because it will provide an environment in which it will be easier to overcome their illness.
