Back when I was a working critic (part two)

I'm trying to avoid working here, so here's another excerpt. Taken from 2001, I believe.

Song of the day - 131: Shonen Knife

Oh man.

Interview with Everett True circa 1997 with added commentary

The following is reprinted from Princess Mod's Reinspired blog. I'd like to say it's great but she gives me an embarrassing amount of credit within it. It's certainly a very fine read.

Stone Roses at Spike Island

Someone on the Stone Roses fan site found this review recently, and re-posted it.

Surely a sign of the forthcoming apocalypse

Apologies to Ian "Wadey" Wade for nicking his punchline.

Everett True

Just found this on the web (Google Alert). It made me laugh out loud twice. Taken from the Whitechapel forum, past of a discussion thread about this.

Riot Grrrl - the entire series

Thought I'd put all the parts of the Riot Grrrl interviews I did with Julia Downes for her PhD thesis on DIY Queer Feminist (Sub)cultural Resistance in the UK in one place. It's worth checking the original posts for the reader comments, so I've left in the links at the bottom.

ET Recommends - 6: Brilliant Colors

This is what I know.

Riot Grrrl - the follow-up

OK. So this is the second part of the interview Julia Downes carried out with me for her PhD thesis on DIY Queer Feminist (Sub)cultural Resistance in the UK. That's everything. I'm done.

Riot Grrrl 6

Interest appears to be tailing off a little in this series, so I might hold back on part two of this interview until a later date. For now, though, here's the penultimate Q/A from part one.

Riot Grrrl 5

Part five of the ongoing Riot Grrrl series - brief, but my interpretation of events might still raise some hackles.

Riot Grrrl 4

Part four of the ongoing Riot Grrrl dialogue. (Photo of Bikini Kill taken by Erin Smith on July 4, 1991 for her fanzine Action Teen! Used with permission.)

Riot Grrrl 3

This is the third part of the interview I did with Julia Downes for her PhD thesis on DIY Queer Feminist (Sub)cultural Resistance in the UK. It (partly) tackles the question of critical distance.

Riot Grrrl 1

Trawling the depths of my computer, I found another couple of documents of interest.

Shonen Knife vs Ramones vs Peter Bagge

Postie was particularly kind to me this morning, laid up in bed.

Everett True vs the world

I promised yesterday that I would post the other part of my correspondence with Spanish music magazine Go-Mag.

Everett True vs the Australian Music Press

This is the article that started it all.
