intercourse with biscuits a modern miscellany

whitemystery:

I think for most of mine I’d need a time machine or something that brings back the dead. I’ve thought since I was 13ish (that age when being a teenager means music is the only thing that ‘gets’ you) that music was my life , but really now at 22 , my tastes are so varied and I’m finding more and more that there are fantastic bands and songs that just go undiscovered or championed. I dread to think what I’ll be like once I start vinyl. Anyway yes more people should listen to Mountain Goats. Call me ignorant but I’m presuming you have a blog separate to this , I couldn’t see a link.

My self-imposed rule was people I could conceivably interview now, so no dead folks, otherwise it would have been like the list in High Fidelity (film version) where he imagines himself as an NME journalist in the ’70s. I’m 25 and still obsessed with music but in a very different way to the narrow but deep approach I had in my teens. I’ve interviewed lots of new bands and met a few big names but parachuting out of a staff job at a music mag too early means I’ve yet to really get my teeth into proper interviews with the kind of people I really want to get at.

My blog is here and my twitter is here.

Aww move John Darnielle up a little. If I did this I’d have to get High Fidelity about it and divide it into genres or something.

It’s not in order of preference. John Darnielle is the one I’m chasing the most and in some ways the one that’s most likely to happen.
