Music, from whatever era, will always be the core, with in-depth studies of a sound or an individual, or a laugh and a picture whenever the situation arises. There will be discographies, reviews, rare photographs; there will be threads or themes across several issues or even, instead, a one off appreciation.<\/p>\n<p>That aside, there will be literature, film and television; cult curiosities or mainstream geniuses. In short, the boundaries are limitless. Over the next few issues the tale of Greenwich Village will unfold; so too the life and work of Richard Brautigan. Frantic new pop will sit beside English folk-rock, the Silver Surfer will meet the San Franciscan scene and white Chicago Blues will rock with Thunderbirds. &#8220;Whatever Fits&#8221; is our new motto \u2013 we&#8217;re there wherever strange things are happening.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/StrangeThings1.jpg\" alt=\"StrangeThings1.jpg\" id=\"image46\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Volume 1, Number 1: March 1988<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Kinks; <em>Horror At The Party Beach<\/em>; The James Taylor Quartet; <em>Krazy Kat<\/em>; Syd Barrett; Robyn Hitchcock; Greenwich Village; Psychic TV; Los Angeles &amp; The Dukes Of Stratosphear.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/StrangeThings2.jpg\" alt=\"StrangeThings2.jpg\" id=\"image47\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Volume 1, Number 2: May\/June 1988<\/strong><br \/>\nIggy Pop &amp; The Stooges; Giant Sand; Richard Brautigan; Alan Moore; Wire; <em>Man In A Suitcase<\/em>; The Creation Label; <em>Krazy Kat<\/em>; American Country Rock; The Shamen; Smoke &amp; <em>The Silver Surfer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/StrangeThings3.jpg\" alt=\"StrangeThings3.jpg\" id=\"image48\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Volume 1, Number 3: July\/August 1988<\/strong><br \/>\nLittle Feat; <em>Sgt.
