About Grant McLennan... I also found these New York reminiscences by Janie 
Heath, Robert Vickers' wife:

And of course there's a lot about Grant in the blog written by Steve Kilbey 
of The Church (I must check out their Jack Frost collaboration albums):
http://stevekilbey.blogspot.com/

Kilbey also has anecdotes about Tom Verlaine there. I particularly like 
this:

... to stamp your own sound on an instrument
have ya ever sat down n banged around on a piano?
can you imagine how much time n love
one has to invest to have yer own style n sound
that people can pick instantly?
the day i met tom verlaine in 1988
he walked in my room
picked up an acoustic guitar
played 2 notes
n i could hear it was him immediately
his relationship with the guitar
was totally unlike anybody else i'd ever seen
and i seen a few...
