No discussion on the Monster Magnet interview?
I thought it was AWESOME. I always thought they were some Marilyn Manson type of band from down the shore and completely ignored them. I had no idea that the guy behind Monster Magnet was around the NYC CBGB's scene and also attributes Hawkwind as a gigantic influence, which rules.
It was just a great interview with a guy I never thought I would ever care about.
Daniel and Maggie keep getting better and better. Daniel's interview with Nils Lofgren (I had no idea Nils was a basketball fan!) and Maggie's with Dean Wareham (I'm a huge Luna fan) were great.
Tom also did a very good job of almost making Lou Barlow likable. I love Dinosaur and Sebadoh but Lou just irritates me. Tom brought a lot of stuff out about Lou I liked hearing about his sense of humor.
You had a bad experience w/ Lou? I don't particularly know him but have been a Dinosaur/Sebadoh fan since way back. I saw a Sebadoh show where both Lou and Jason were baffled by the 'social environment of this crowd here' (it was at IU), but it was more funny to me than annoying. I saw Dinosaur on tour a couple of years back and thought Lou was pretty funny making references to Dinosaur 'owning my ass now, but that's OK', and additionally he did an in-store acoustic set before the show that was really great.
So...not that you have to like the guy or anything, of course, just curious as to what the irritants are...
