Audible Audio

My second template interview (after the "high bias" questionnaires) was sent out to a much smaller group of people and required much more writing from them. Still, the ratio of people responding was about the same, which means it's just as good. Right?

I was interested in asking musicians how they defend themselves against the charge that their work isn't "music" - a hilarious accusation, I think, and one that I hear often enough about the music I listen to (well, not like Graves at Sea and stuff, but some of the music I listen to) that I figured they'd heard it to.

The replies from the three respondents will follow, and I thank them for taking the time to answer my questions.

Southern Exposure

One of the photos I took of dancer Janet Pants last Halloween is being used for Southern Exposure's Extended Play series. And Ellen Fullman is playing! If you're around San Francisco, go. And thanks June for letting me know. I feel all cool now.

Spearmint and Vanilla Music

In my vanity and frivolity, I decided to see if there was anything on YouTube called "Spearmint Music." What I found was this sorta guitar jazz thing written for a stripper that reminded the guy of his dead grandmother or something and a melody that seems lifted from "Memories" at times. It reminds me of a bad version of Prince when he's bad, in a way.



So maybe that's what Spearmint Music is.
