Guest Editors
Liars
Karma’s a biting bitch and this time, (whimper) it's broken SUPERSWEET skin. After electric shocking the weather-beaten minds out of LIARS in our interview, little did we know of the slave duty repercussions in return. The result? Three months of gruelling research, exploitative plugging, and international travel so we can finally surrender the BoM spot to Guest Editors, LIARS. Ahem, are we forgiven yet?
Truthfully, we’d do anything for the LA-based trio, who in return offer this month the concept-killer fifth record, Sisterworld. So feeding their eccentric ambitions, we unearth Angus’ anecdotal response to the Plastic Gyre; his fascination with Teens That Sail, while Aaron parades his interview techniques with greyhounds and Julian reveals his elusive psychic game. Our favourite? The LIARS-Wikipedia scandal of the decade!
