Excellent points as always Brian. I've really gotten into Mark Kozelek this
year, and he just seems an ass quite basically.
good point on the interviews too, i'm still trying to get over reading an
interview with Damien Jurado-whose music I love, but he seems like an idiot.
most musicians don't have a whole lot of "people skills" I would venture
generally, nor do I expect them to.

Black Acetate. It may be my favorite album of this year. And Lou, like Neil
and many others seems to be in artistic decline.

So when an artist is a prick I avoid reading their interviews.
