Larry O. Dean
has some of the
same wry, heartland, closed mouth delivery that Stan
Ridgway captivated a cult audience with in
Wall of
Voodoo. His CD with The Me Decade "Gentrification is
Theft" is very well done with correct presence from the
vocalist (Dean) and tasteful addition of strings. The
guitars are very distorted and with the plain vocal
delivery the comparison can be made to
Velvet Underground ("Not Enough Hours in the Day"). In
this interview, Dean talks about the full-band project The
Me Decade as well as his solo activity on his October 2002
Couch Trip Tour and monthly round-robin singer-songwriter
events.

Donkey Member
Hans Fjellestad talks about the nature of improvisation in the
context of the duo Donkey. At the time of this interview,
Donkey had just released the concept album Big Sur. Hans
illuminates the nature of the on-stage working
relationship with his partner Damon Holzborn and how the
location of and audience to a Donkey improvisational event
are affecting parameters to the music. Further exploration
of Hans Fjelletad's
improv prowess should be done by a thorough listening to
the engaging solo album 33 (Accretions). Focusing on Hans'
use of the keyboard, there is a style spectrum from
quiescent, reflective melodies, to playful patterns to
authoritative, mock-fascistic attacks with sampled voices
reminiscent of Laibach.

think back to the DJ that gave him is first interview and
the FM debut of one of his tracks. This interview includes
a bit of Dre's music.
