Re: Ask a music scene micro celebrity
I will state up front that you are a 'micro celebrity' to only those people that have only 'micro exposure' to music. I thank you for the work you have done in the industry.
My question revolves around Martin Atkins (Public Image Ltd, Ministry, Pigface). If you don't wish to answer in the open for whatever reason then that is understood. Is he really the pretentious prick that other bands and label managers make him out to be? I have only dealt with him on one issue ever and getting a straight answer out of him was a pain, but I have heard the rumors floating about. But, they were always from people that had a 'bone to pick' with him. As for Martins talent, there are few that can match his stage intensity and overall raw ability. One of the best out there for sure. But the off-stage persona... willing to give your thoughts? |

Re: Ask a music scene micro celebrity
Are there any bands in the Chicago area that you were just like 'wow, I need to try to get these guys...'? Also, do you work w/ any jam style bands and how do you do studio work w/ those bands?

Re: Ask a music scene micro celebrity
A few months back you did an interview w/ a friend of mine for a Scratch Acid Doc he's working on and pretty much anyone who's ever heard them will agree that Scratch Acid is/was a 'criminally underrated' band, Are there any other bands that you've worked with that you feel deserve to be heard that we may have overlooked?
P.S. I've pointed anyone who would listen to your 'The problem with Music' article, especially my friends who are musicians, thanks for the info. and what do you think of the iPhone? |

I always point my musician friends to Big Black's final tour diary, "Turkey Trot to the Sound of Tuna" or something like that. Awesome writing.

[ QUOTE ] A friend of mine has been slowly releasing some tracks he made with McNeilly from their Atlanta days together around the mid 80s, if you are interested in hearing something you might not have come across before let me know. [/ QUOTE ] Is this 86 material? Phantom 309? [/ QUOTE ] I'll have to find the press packet he sent me, it's floating around somewhere. My recollection of what he is doing is somewhat fuzzy, but to my knowledge the collection he is publishing is from a combination of warehouse shows so I think the tracks are rather obscure and mostly unknown. The disc he sent me is from the "Destroy All Music Festival 2" at the Pillow Tex Wharehouse. BTW, 24 Hour Revenge Therapy has not left my turn table since 95 and Seamonsters has never left my thoughts. It's amazing how much of my collection you were involved in. |
