WHAT IS THIS?
Pull Up a Chair
Hogwallop is an independent microzine about books, music and the people who make them. We're as happy with a novel or a record that came out last week as with one that waited forty years for its due. We don't give stars. We give reasons.
BOOKS
Overdue
Somebody wrote something great this year, and somebody else wrote something great in 1963 that nobody read. We cover both, plus the writers, the drafts and the decisions that make a book worth pressing on a friend.
MUSIC
Deep Cuts
Somebody made something great this week, and somebody else made something great in 1977 that nobody noticed. We cover both, plus the players, the sessions and the decisions that make a song worth three plays in a row.
FROM THE EDITOR
On the Bus
For years I've scrolled Bookstagram and watched record collectors flip through crates I'll never own. My TBR list got so long that I figured I owed somebody a recommendation. So I'm getting on the bus. I'm not a critic, just the guy at the party who wants to know what you're reading and listening to.
