Ever since his departure from Jellyfish at the peak of the band’s brief early-’90s run, Jason Falkner has relished his role as a self-made power-pop iconoclast. R. Stevie Moore’s championing of the DIY recording aesthetic stretches all the way back to the late ’60s, gaining underground momentum during the following decade’s punk explosion. Unlike Falkner, Moore has never been much for restraint, recording more than 400 albums. As one might surmise, new collaboration Make It Be casts Falkner as the editor/ringmaster of Moore’s wonky sonic circus—and the results should connect with fans of the former’s innate craftsmanship and the latter’s rampant eclecticism. Falkner and Moore will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week.
Falkner: Directions:
One pint glass
Fill 3/4 up with either Ben And Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie or any dark chocolate ice cream.
Crush up four Oreo cookies and add to pint glass.
Add one tablespoon of peanut butter.
Fill glass halfway with—very important—whole milk. (If you’re watching your weight you should’ve stopped reading this ages ago.)
Now stir vigorously until you’ve hand churned the tastiest milkshake evah.
