The Tubs are a British jangle-rock band, with a cheeky-dirtbag edge.

The album cover is a photo of her breast-feeding him.

Stephen Malkmus likes tennis. He recently moved to Chicago, with his wife, Jessica Jackson Hutchins, and tries to play at least once a week.

In 2007, Jayson Dobney, an Iowan with a master’s degree in the history of musical instruments, from the University of South Dakota, moved to New York to be a curator in the department of musical instruments at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. For decades, there had been whispers in guitar circles of a vast trove of twentieth-century guitars, in private hands, somewhere in the tri-state area—an El Dorado of coveted Strats and Les Pauls and Martins of impeccable provenance.

In 2014, Ricky Cobb was a sociology professor at Moraine Valley Community College, outside Chicago. Reared in Horse Cave, Kentucky, fatherless since the age of five, Cobb was now forty-two, with five daughters, and in the middle of his second divorce. To keep his students, and himself, interested, he cracked a lot of jokes; by his accounting, twenty per cent of his lecture material was basically standup.
