This week, we’re excited to bring you quite a bit of new work from our writers!
First of all, in case you missed them last week (due to errors at TSJ BT HQ): Claire Biddles appeared on the podcast This Is Your Mixtape and posted a tribute to Scott Walker on Medium.
Next: Joshua Minsoo Kim’s site Tone Glow features roundups of the first three months of 2019 in rap, by Micha Cavaseno, and J-pop, by Ryo Miyauchi.
Anthony Easton, under the name Steacy Easton, wrote for Slate: “Leaving Neverland Helped Me Understand the Abuse I Endured as a Child.”
Katherine St. Asaph, under the name Katherine Morayati, has some interactive fiction for you to experience: Lies & Cigars. It’s premiering this coming week as part of Now Play This: A Festival of Experimental Game Design, hosted at Somerset House, London.
Finally: will you be in Seattle next weekend? Will you need something to do after the Perfume concert? Stop by the 2019 Pop Conference at the Museum of Pop Culture! Here’s the list of current TSJers currently scheduled to participate in panels, and the panels in which you can find them:
