MNZ: Stop Smiling Issue 31


Last issue of this mag was really good, and this one is also really really good, so they are tricking me into saving the subscription card, which will then piss me off because they’ll switch into some stupid assed theme issues that none I will like at all. This one is called an Ode to the South, and has some great shit about the old Stax Record label. Learning about how Booker T and the MGs came together, and how those two white dudes in that group (who were also in the Blues Brother movie, which has the greatest sound of bricks clinking ever in movie history) got hooked up with that noise. Plus, it talks on Otis Redding, who has only recently upon me finding a couple of tapes I thought I had lost, surpassed secular Al Green as my favorite smooth lovin’ shit. I have waited forever to remember to review this shit, so it’s probably not on your local newsstand anymore, so your loss. You missed it again, chump.
