And in generally kickass music news this week, both Rebecca Gates and Erika Anderson have announced new musical ventures, whether albums in progress or newly-formed bands.
For what it’s worth, some context for why I’m so fond of the music of each:
Me @ Volume 1- A Quick Technical Note for the Weekend
- Afternoon Bites: Stephen Fry, Geoff Dyer on criticism, the Month of Letters challenge, and more
- The Week In Reviews: Jay-Z at Carnegie Hall, the journalism of Charles Dickens, Edward St Aubyn’s prose, and more
- Afternoon Bites: Hanksy Speaks! Chabon on comics! Straub on Walhberg! and more.
- Coming Soon to a Lower East Side Near You*
Thanks for these! The Spinanes are just one of countless ’90s indie acts I missed thanks to not knowing enough to spend the $8 on a used CD at my record store of choice.
