Once again the big news is that Big Takeover #66 Spring 2010 Special 30th Anniversary issue with Spoon on the cover, and concluding part twos of our awesome Lou Barlow, Big Star (R.I.P. Alex Chilton), and The Nerves (original “Hanging on the Telephone” fame) interviews, as well as fabulous history interviews with The Ramones (a previously unpublished 1992 interview), Graham Nash on The Hollies, and late ’70s Vancouver punks Subhumans Canada, can be found out on the stands, and at your favorite magazine, book, or record store!
Remember, we only come out twice a year, every Spring and Fall, so you don’t want to miss one of our jam-packed 192-page issues! Below is a quick description of its contents.
