Only three years after issue one, the second issue of Roman Candle magazine is finally done. Sticking with the vague theme of ‘stuff I find interesting’, this one features…
An interview with photographer Chris Shaw about his stint as a night porter and the alchemy of the darkroom.
A chat with artist Dick Jewell about found photos and club culture.
A conversation with E-Man from the notorious NYC bike messenger crew, the X-Men.
An interview with photographer Harvey Wang about capturing the overlooked side of New York.
Bongwater/Shimmy Disc man Kramer on debunking the paranormal and the time Peter Hook took him for a spin around the back streets of Manchester.
This is all served up alongside short stories courtesy of Alex Appleby and Harry Longstaff, a brief chat with Jonathan Richman about his side-job making bread ovens, some words about Bob Dylan from Rivendell Bicycle Works main-man Grant Petersen and some spiel about the mysterious 35mm photos which have been adorning Jandek record sleeves since the 70s.
