Better magazines in the same general vein as the Baffler, off the top of my head:
N+1
The Oxford American
I also have an only occasionally defensible love for The Believer as well, which has gone downhill since a brilliant first ten or so issues.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

We did a piss poor job of hooking up while you were in town and consequently I couldn't give you a burn of the Iris Dement covers that interested you.
So I just posted them at Buffistarawk.
Available to anybody who likes Iris.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Random note: Months and months and months ago, someone mentioned the Snake River Conspiracy cover of "How Soon Is Now?"
I have finally heard it, and it fucking rocks.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Yes, PC, it does. It really does. Have you seen the video for it? And, have you heard their cover of The Cure's Love Song? Brilliant.
Too bad that Tobey Torres has left the band.

Would you like me to send them to the buffistarawk account at gmail?
I also have the Breed single, which has 3 different mixes of How Soon Is Now, and the How Soon Is Now single, which has a cover of She Said, She Said.
