The typically snarky and less-than-favorable music site Pitchfork has given the Bona Drag 20th Anniversary Edition a quite high 9.8 out of 10.0 and their badge of "best new reissue". Read the decent review in the link below.

I finally finished up the zine that goes along with the project:

Adam Krause - Carnivores & Destructors (video preview / photos) - Pau Wau Publications
Purchase

My subjects are obsessed with the singer Morrissey and I documented the various dimensions of their obsession, finding subjects in less expected parts of the country like Compton, California.

I actually also have one of the portraits in a show being put on by the Aperture foundation [this is the foundation that Ansel Adams founded] and there is a silent auction for one of the moz portraits.

The Grave Maurice pub, which Morrissey stands in front of on the cover of the Under The Influence compilation, was mentioned in the first episode of Whitechapel on Monday 11 October.

The current 3-part series is based around a number of attacks, which mirror those of the Kray Twins. Series One was about Jack The Ripper.
