A few recent work related things: ABC, Sound Of The City, Stereogum, Spin

I’ve gotten really bad (for whom, for what?) at posting recent work and clips and stuff, so I’m going to try to do this on a weekly basis. So, this week. I subbed for ABC’s Dan Harris over at his weekly online indie rock interview show, Amplified.

Progress Report on Giant Drag

New Progress Report on Giant Drag. The Giant Drag story got picked up by the NME. Writes Annie: “It’s funny how all of a sudden people i haven’t talked to in awhile are calling or texting me about shows or whatever after the article.” She’s a great

Profile of Welcome Wagon in the Village Voice

I wrote a Band On The Street on Welcome Wagon for the Village Voice. They are the nicest band in the world, probably because they didn’t start out as a band, but as a married couple. I’m working on a review of another couple band. I am sorta
