Tonight tonight tonight…. the debut of Arthur Magazine’s MONTHLY FIRST MONDAY at Diamond, featuring two all-star music enthusiasts spinning choice records for your enjoyment.

PIOTR ORLOV, deejaying as Raspberry Jones, promises “Issa Bagayogo, Theo Parrish’s, re-editing Etta James, Italoboyz vs. John Coltrane, etc.” He profiled M.I.A. on the cover of Arthur No. 16.

DAVE TOMPKINS interviewed Godzilla in Arthur No. 10. He has written for The Believer, Village Voice and The Wire. He is currently working on a book about the Vocoder and “Indestructible Speech,” and he enjoys stories about teeth, so tell him one. Sir Tompkins says to expect a set of “Soul 45s, Emmet Robotters Jug Band, etc.”
