Magical Mystery Tour 01/23/19
This week’s Magical Mystery Tour focused on Forced Exposure: the venerable fanzine, record label, and record distributor. Edited by Byron Coley and Jimmy Johnson, Forced Exposure was the model for rock criticism in the 1980s as they mapped out an entire musical landscape in the aftermath of hardcore. Tonight, I selected a handful of releases from their record label and presented them chronologically from their first 7″ to their last CD. If you want to move forward from here then check out the Forced Exposure distribution website, Byron Coley’s Feeding Tube Records, the Ecstatic Peace! / Father Yod labels, and my specialty show, Psychic and Powerless, from 9 to 11 every Wednesday night.
