Record Collecting: David Bazan Pedro the Lion
by Joseph Carlough
16 pages / half letter / $4
From the moment I read the title, I anticipated that I would
enjoy reading Joseph Carlough’s Record
Collecting zine & when the zine arrived, I was not disappointed.Unlike some music zines that report on numerous bands and
review lots of records, Record Collecting focuses on one musician – David Bazan
aka Pedro the Lion. Joseph chronicles the genesis of his introduction to vinyl
records and how he chose to collect recordings by David Bazan. Bazan is a lo-fi
indie singer / songwriter who often explores dark territory in his lyrics and
music. Joseph Carlough is a seasoned writer who relates each record he obtains
to events / emotions / experiences in his life. The format & content of this
zine is perfect for exploring David Bazan’s discography. Prepare for deeper
listening.
