MAGGOT BRAIN #5: What’s inside!

We’re very excited about our new cover story: Why feminist punk pioneers the Raincoatsstill matter and finally, we hinted at this in the previous issue and now it’s here - unseen, amazing photos of AC/DC from their first US tour in 1977. You’ll get rare look at celebrated indie auteur filmmaker Jim Jarmusch’s playful newspaper collages -- great interview plus lots of never before seen images!

We have brilliant Americana guitarists Marisa Anderson and William Tyler on their debut collaboration and then composer Terry Riley and percussionist Hamid Drake on the importance of husband and wife spiritual jazzers Moki and Don Cherry. We continue our unstapled series with 14 pages of rare comics by Pee Wee's Playhouse designer Gary Panter -- Jimbo goes to jail! Mike Turner talks to rising Colombian BMX star Julian Molina. And there’s a Spectacular tribute to jazz drummer Milford Graves by Detroiter Ben Hall.

Plus features on vocalist Merry Clayton; New Hampshire's neo-shoegazers Headroom; The Clean's fiery 1980s offshoot band Stephen; catching up with the great band Califone's main force Tim Rutili; a three-page comic on electronics weirdo Mort Garson, who made music to talk to your plants; America's finest essayist Luc Sante takes a gallows turn in this issue's column; and way more.

Also Featuring:

INFO FOR ALL BUYERS

OUR HOURS: We usually work a normal 5 day week, Monday-Friday, 9:30 to 5:30. If we are closed during normal business hours, you will see a notice on our listings page (usually by the listing title). We will respond to all e-mails, but typically answers will take 24 hours to arrive. Do not expect a response after hours or during the weekends or holidays.

SHIPPING METHODS: We use USPS for most shipments. In some cases we may use UPS instead, especially if the package is large or oversized, so don't take the shipping method listed as gospel - your purchase could be sent by either carrier, but the majority go by USPS.

SHIPPING FEES: We try hard to only charge actual cost + a fee of no more than $2.00 to cover materials, time, & other costs associated with each sale. On most items, we undercharge.

COMBINING SHIPPING: We are happy to do this for all customers, unless specifically stated in the listing, or if the items cannot be shipped together (for instance it's hard to send posters and records in the same package without damaging them, you get the drift).

HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT: DO NOT USE BUY IT NOW! Use “Add To Cart”. When you have all the items you want in your cart, request a totall through the eBay system and we will do our best to reduce shipping for multiple items. NOTE THAT COMBINING SHIPPING DOES NOT ALWAYS REDUCE S&H COSTS, BUT IT WILL NEVER INCREASE YOUR S&H COST.

WE ARE REASONABLE PEOPLE: If there’s a problem with your purchase, please contact us and let us know. As buyers too, we always want to provide you with a great buying experience!

OFFERS: Unless you see the "Make Offer" button on our listings, we are not interested in offers. If you must, please make it reasonable. Asking for 50% off won’t work. If you can find it for less, please, buy it there rather than haggle with us. Thank you in advance!

UNPAID WINNINGS: There seems to be a recent epidemic of dim-witted folks who don't understand the basics of eBay. Here we go: you buy, you pay, we ship (or you pick up in the rare case of pick-up only items), you get the merchandise. If payment is not made in the time specified, we will issue an unpaid item notice to eBay and you'll get a strike. The item will be re-listed and you'll be blocked from our auctions. We have absolutely zero interest in ANY excuses. If there is a problem with your PayPal account, don't buy until it's resolved. If you are expecting money from somewhere else to cover your purchase, don't buy until you have that money in your account. Your Grandmother explodes unexpectedly? She'd want you to honor your commitments. Don't let Grandma down! You let your monkey play online and he bought a bunch of stuff using your account? Tough luck! Next time, apply the lesson you've learned: be responsible and watch your monkey. In the meantime, it's your account & your responsibility - pay up! NO EXCEPTIONS!!

PAYMENT TIMELINE: Since we only accept PayPal, there's no reason that payment can't be made at the moment of purchase. We allow a 48 hour period to make a payment from the end of the auction (or, in the case of multiple purchases, 48 hours after you get an invoice with combined shipping, if shipping can be combined).

INFO FOR FOREIGN (EX-USA) BUYERS

SHIPPING METHODS & COSTS: Items must ship by Priority Mail or better. With comics like thus we can usually fit 5/6 safely into one flat rate Priority envelope. After that it gets risky.

Priority is usually faster than 1^st Class and includes insurance, but it costs more - minimum cost for a one pound package to even a nearby country like Canada is $21, and it goes up from there. EMS is faster, includes insurance and tracking, and is usually more expensive.

VALUES ON CUSTOMS FORMS & CUSTOMS FEES: We will NOT falsify customs forms for anyone - EVER! We buy plenty of stuff from around the world and sympathize with Customs fees, but don't ask or expect us to lie for you. If you have to pay customs and / or other fees in your country, this is your responsibility - not ours. If an item sent internationally is returned to us because the buyer refuses to accept it or to pay fees imposed by your local government or delivery service, we will not refund the S&H costs if the item is returned to us. Again, these costs are the buyer's responsibility, not the seller's.

DELIVERY TIMES: International Deliveries face various potential roadblocks that domestic shipments do not – customs officials & inspections in particular – so we cannot guarantee that any package will arrive within a specified period of time. Most packages do arrive within the estimates.
