ISSUE 120
Annual Style Issue

XLR8R checks in with neo-Victorian Daedelus at home in L.A., while peeking into scenes all over the country: We get nasty with New Orleans sissy bounce queens, get beautifully lost with Aaron Rose, and rewrite the history of Athens, Georgia’s freak-beat scene of the ’70s and ’80s. We also gather the goods on Wu-Tang’s RZA, The Faint, and Jay Reatard, then swing way east for the lowdown from Philly artists Adam Wallacavage and Andrew Jeffrey Wright.
