Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <

OLD 97'S
Interview- anti-quirk, anti-grunge?, by Peter Crigler
"The glorious Old 97's came straight out of Texas to make a statement. Although led by singer/songwriter Rhett Miller, the band is a collective and pretty much always has been with bassist/singer Murry Hammond, guitarist Ken Bethea and drummer Philip Peeples. Not country enough for the alt-country movement, not alternative enough for rock radio, the Old 97's blazed their own path and continue to do so. Here’s to a band that has never compromised and remains as great as ever."
FARON SAGE
Interview- political, anonymous singer-songwriter revealed, by Chris Wheatley
"Anonymous singer-songwriter and composer Faron Sage follows a long and important lineage of 'socially-conscious' musicians. Sage also writes and blogs on issues such as mental health, the problematic nature of modern societal structures and environmental concerns."
THE SUGARCUBES
Interview- Einar makes the case for nonchalant boldness, by Peter Crigler
"One of Iceland's most notable exports, the Sugarcubes were eclectic and different, and that's what helped them succeed. Led by ingenue Bjork and helped out by trumpeter and shouter Einar Orn, the band blazed brightly and quickly but helped pave the way for Bjork's massively successful solo career. For a while, they helped make the alternative airwaves just a bit stranger and weirder, and we thank them for that."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
