The style of the magazine was a mix of
interviews, articles,
fiction, and music reviews, often written in Glass's
absurdist,
stream-of-consciousness writing style, which at times bordered on
nonsense. The text was complemented by bizarre artwork and photographs, frequently unrelated to the articles they accompanied. One trademark of the magazine was its use of appropriated text and images from uncredited or unknown sources, taken from
found objects picked up by Glass, other contributors, or readers. Another regular feature was the inclusion of a compilation
7" record or
CD of music by artists profiled in the corresponding issue. Bananafish is often credited with giving many Americans their first exposure to
Japanese noise musicians such as
Merzbow and
Solmania, as well as domestic noisemakers like
Emil Beaulieau. It was not accepting submissions as of 2013, and had no web presence. ==Discography==
