(Brief) Update: Interviewing Owen + TV On The Radio at the HoB

I’d originally hoped to do a big-ass update of all the reviews & interviews & such we’ve been stockpiling the past several weeks, but alas, that hasn’t happened. Instead, I’ve been piecemealing things up on the site as necessary, like the Coldplay review David Cobb did or the Caddywhompus and Parts & Labor reviews yours truly did.

The down side of that, though, is that the “feature”-type stuff I put up a week or so ago has languished, unrecognized. But no more! Time to post about it, folks. First off, we’ve got a cool, ultra-recent interview with Owen’s Mike Kinsella that new-ish contributor Jessica Golden put together quite literally at the last second (Seth @ Polyvinyl: you rock, man…). And it’s good shit, even if Kinsella gives Jessica grief about her recent electoral inaction. It’s on the short side, but it’s my favorite of the recent interviews we’ve done, I think.

On top of that, indefatigable/unflappable contributor Brandon Hernsberger ventured into the Belly of the Corporate Music Beast (aka the new H-town branch of the House of Blues chain) to witness and document the recent TV On The Radio show here in our fair city. See here for the whole deal — I enjoy the heck out of the juxtaposition Brandon throws out there.

More to come, very, very soon…
