Plus, there is a sample of our interview with RNDM, the new project from Joseph Arthur and Jeff Ament. Plenty to dig into.

Finally, after all these years, music and booze have met each other.
“i used to think you couldn’t spell platapus without us.” “well, you can but it would be platap.”
When did they stop putting toys in cereal boxes? This adulthood may be overrated. I’m gonna have to talk to my Zoltar machine about this.

Neck shave. My fav part of the haircut. Though, I tend to wonder what the barber thinks when I start purring.
