Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://
www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):
FLYING NUN
Is its greatness a myth? by Martin Osborne
"It is a founding myth of indie pop that it is the end of boredom,
historical and a creative year zero instigated by the only pure souls
on a hopelessly compromised lump of rock. A prime example is the
globally circulated story of New Zealand independent record label
Flying Nun that filled magazine articles, reviews and lately, the
Internet."
KELLY HOGAN
A plea for more music by Kurt Wildermuth
"Kelly Hogan, you're an enormously talented singer. As you know, you
write or co-write many of your songs, but somehow the label singer/
songwriter doesn't fit you. Your originals are as well written as your
cover versions are well chosen, but you have pipes and you know how to
pipe up or pipe down to suit the details of a song. You are an
inhabiter of songs. You inhabit torch ballads, rockers, soulful
laments, country tales, and ironic 'indie' pop tune."
THE MINT CHICKS
NZ art-punks by Michael McClelland
"With an 'oom-PAH' kick-snare combo, a lost corner of the world began
to break apart along with the most exciting and terrifying band the
world would never see. 'Post No Bills' by the Mint Chicks kicked off
in 2003 with all the crucial ingredients punk music had been searching
for since it first began – that is, it sounded like the end of the
fucking world. Since then, all nine years of their career covered
several different accounts of the same apocalypse."
EWING PARTON
Static Cult head interviewed by Kevin Chesser
"Ewing Parton runs the Static Cult Label out of San Jose, California.
Static Cult is a familial collective of musicians who specialize in lo-
fi patchwork dirges, jagged, inferno-of-fuzz guitar romps, deep,
haunting psychedelia, handmade merchandise, and lots of other shit
that doesn't have a thing to do with what's safe, popular, or
profitable."
And don't forgot to listen to our Playlist of songs from artists in
this issue:

you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
