MY LA: MARK MOTHERSBAUGH TALKS LIFE IN THE CITY OF ANGELS
By Beatie Wolfe
Co-founder and frontman of the trailblazing avant-garde rock band DEVO, Mark Mothersbaugh is one the most distinctive figures in music history. David Bowie (a patron saint of the group) called DEVO “the band of the future” (with one of their numerous innovations including the invention of the music video format pre-MTV) and from early on DEVO was celebrated by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, Neil Young and Andy Warhol as precisely this.
As an award-winning composer, Mothersbaugh has scored everything from global box office hits like The Lego Movie and children’s television classic Rugrats through to the majority of Wes Anderson films, including Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore and The Life Aquatic.

EXTREMELY SHORT FICTION FOR EXTREMELY SHORT ATTENTION SPANS
BY BRIAN POLK
I think I’ve figured out my aversion to reading novels during these COVID times. And it mainly has to do with the fact that the aliens, Nephilims, whoever built the Georgia Guidestones, at least two of the assassins of JFK, D.B. Cooper, and several members of the Illuminati who worked with the Freemasons and what’s left of the Knights Templar all created the Coronavirus in their inter-dimensional labs, and have also used their invisible rayguns (for lack of a better term) to interfere with the proper function of my brainwaves.
