Jonathans Are Illuminated: Something wild

Exclusive interview with Jonathan Coe on the music in his books, Louis Philippe, and his prog phase, on Untouched by Work or Duty, a.k.a. Marlow Riley. Who knows everything that’s going to happen on the L.A. music scene before it happens, and will as likely or not be involved in some way while it’s happening. Read Sasha Frere-Jones on the White Stripes, then turn the virtual page for more White lightning from Marlow. When they say all the kids today think about is what song is coming up next, they’re darn right.
