Lazy-i Interview: Holly Miranda; off to Austin; Chris Aponik report; RIP Alex Chilton...
|

I was afraid that this feature story on Brooklyn singer/songwriter Holly Miranda came off a bit bitchy. It wasn't meant to sound that way, though I was a little annoyed that she chose not to answer any questions about her origins. That's her prerogative, of course, and I can't say that I blame her. I'm always amazed when musicians answer any questions that I pose to them. I'm just saying, it would have been nice to have a little more to work with for this article, but I made the best of what I had. Lemon. Lemonade. Etc. Take a look. She's opening for Steel Train at The Waiting Room next Tuesday, March 23. And her new album on XL is pretty amazing. I suggest you buy it and your tickets. * * * And so, I'm off to Austin for SXSW. I'll be there sometime this afternoon and Twitter updates and twitpics will follow. The first field report will be online tomorrow. I'll also be posting updates from colleague Chris Aponik, who's doing SXSW without a badge. He's been there for a couple days already. Here's Chris' first field report:
* * * I suspect that the untimely death of Alex Chilton will throw a pall over this year's SXSW festivities. Big Star was one of those bands that pushed pain into my chest whenever I listened to their records, but maybe Third/Sister Lovers was the most devastating. RIP Alex Chilton; your star burns brighter than ever. * * * Now, off to the show... --Got comments? Post 'em here.-- |
