Roll Magazine – “Iggy Pop and Michel Houellebecq: An Aesthetic Shock” – Issue #141, June 2009 – Turkish Edition

Description:

Roll was an independent Turkish music and culture magazine first published in November 1996. Known for its intellectual, alternative, and critical approach, it covered a broad range of subjects, including rock, jazz, electronic music, reggae, punk, traditional and world music, cinema, philosophy, and politics. Through in-depth interviews, artist profiles, and cultural commentary, Roll offered Turkish readers perspectives on musicians and cultural movements beyond the mainstream.

This Turkish-language issue, dated June 2009, is the magazine’s 141st issue and brings together punk icon Iggy Pop and celebrated French novelist Michel Houellebecq in an unusual conversation titled “Aesthetic Shock.” Their discussion explores literature, music, aesthetics, and artistic expression. The issue also features “The Man Who Came with the Rain,” an interview with Joe Jackson examining his musical journey from New York to Berlin and his distinctive blend of jazz, reggae, punk, and ska. Another major feature, “The Third Man,” explores the formation of The Dead Weather, the garage rock supergroup founded by Jack White, and its roots in garage rock and blues.

Further coverage includes an interview with Turkish alternative band Proudpilot about its experimental musical vision and improvisational approach, alongside features on PJ Harvey and John Parish’s collaborative album A Woman A Man Walked By. The issue also examines the work of avant-garde female artists Peaches and Chicks on Speed. With its combination of punk, alternative rock, experimental music, literature, and unconventional artistic dialogue, this issue reflects Roll’s distinctive editorial approach in the late 2000s.
