The Winter 2017-2018 Issue #142 is currently sitting on newsstands worldwide; I recommend that you read the magazine in a well-lit place away from your computer while consuming caffeine, as that is my personal preference. Aside from the fact that the quarterly has recently celebrated its 35th anniversary and is one of the last standing print publications with a 10k+ circulation covering contemporary art, music, and general transgressive cultural activity, this particular issue brings together several relevant ca. now threads, including pieces on Milford Graves, Jlin, Meredith Monk, Tuli Kupferberg's YEAH, and more. That said, the article can be read, along with most of this issue's content, on BOMB's site:
