Galactic Zoo Dossier returns with an eighth issue of obsessively hand-transcribed interviews, articles and underground comics. This time around, Plastic Crimewave (a.ka. Steve Krakow, Mr. GZD) meets up with Vashti Bunyan to discuss her whirlwind musical/wagon journey and Mani Neumeier talks about his days singing, leading and drumming with Guru Guru, plus interviews with Djin Aquarius from Ya Ho Wha 13, raga-folkie Pater Walker, and psychedelic light show pioneer Bill Ham. Also included are features on Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel, songwriter Hoyt Axton, and more. Not only that, but rare tracks from Puffy Areolas, Vashti Bunyan, Toronto’s own Creeping Nobodies and others are collected on the enclosed CD. (But wait, there’s more! This month’s trading cards continue to lovingly pay tribute to yet more “astral folk goddesses” and “damaged guitar gods.”)
