JULIAN LENNON - After years of self-imposed musical exile, Julian Lennon returns with Photograph Smile, easily his best album to date. Finally at peace with the inevitible comparisons to his famous father, Julian discusses his new album, his more-than-generous charity work, and the trouble with Yoko. Interview by DJ Johnson.



DEL-FI's BOB KEANE - He brought us Ritchie Valens, The Bobby Fuller Four, and... Barry White? Yes, even Frank Zappa cut some chops working for Del-Fi. In part two of his Cosmik interview, Del-Fi Records' head honcho talks about the years following the murder of Bobby Fuller, restarting the label, the La Bamba and Pulp Fiction explosions, and where it's all heading. Interview by DJ Johnson.

There aren't any major issues to cover in editor's notes this month. Imagine that. Can't think of a thing, in fact. A shame, too, because we've gone and saved all this space to put editor's notes in. Even made the nice little title image. Oh well. Hey, what are you lookin' at this for when there's an interview with Julian Lennon to read?
