IN THIS ISSUESpirit of ’67ADOLESCENCE is always an extreme time, but for those who came of age in the mid-’60s, it was a rather more psychedelic transition. “The world and I were going through a change at the same time,” Robyn Hitchco*ck explains. “I happened to be feeling intense when Dylan went electric, and extremely intense when Revolver came out, and then I supernova’d along with Are You Experienced…” This singular time is captured in Hitchco*ck’s 1967: How I Got There And Why I Never Left, a wry, hilarious memoir chronicling that crucial year when the songwriter was a 14-year-old boarder at Hampshire’s prestigious Winchester College. Written exclusively in the early hours – when Hitchco*ck’s “insomnia office” is open – it describes his immersion in music, his unusual home life and the surreal, Gormenghast-esque…3 min

IN THIS ISSUECrazy to existWHEN Josef K were promoting a retrospective compilation in 1987, they were asked about the title. Why was it called Young And Stupid? “Because we were,” they replied. Since then, the Edinburgh band’s mystique has only grown, and their slim catalogue has been endlessly reappraised. The fact that Josef K’s music was released on Postcard Records has been a help and a hindrance. The group were outshone by the more flamboyant Orange Juice, and the label’s sockdrawer Svengali Alan Horne sometimes gave the impression he had signed them by mistake. Josef K’s meteoric career is explored in Johnnie Johnstone’s new biography Through The Crack In The Wall, while the broader question of the label’s influence informs Grant McPhee’s book Postcards From Scotland, which builds on the filmmaker’s Scottish indie documentaries…3 min

IN THIS ISSUE“He wanted to bring everybody up together”STEVE ALBINI | 1962–2024 DAVID GRUBBS Squirrel Bait, Bastro, Gastr Del Sol I first met Steve in 1984 when I was 16, visiting a friend at Northwestern [University] in Chicago. I was familiar with Big Black, so I went to see them play with Urge Overkill. It was revelatory, and I wrote about them in my high school fanzine. Steve sent me some Big Black live cassettes and made me a couple of mixtapes. That was the first time I heard Ivor Cutler and Scratch Acid and The Cravats. It was a hilarious mix of things – there was some Leonard Nimoy… In Squirrel Bait, we shared bills with Big Black. Steve was five years older and felt like a crucial older sibling. He was so f*cking smart and brilliantly…7 min
