So here's this week's installment, where he chats about how he got his start in music. I arrived here in the fall of 1990 with no money and no prospects. Some kids I knew from Anchorage were renting a big house on the edge of the U District, with a half-dozen punkers squatting in their closets and kitchen cabinets, and I followed them home. They'd moved up from Olympia and their band, Motor Virus, pra 2008-04-24 15:11:44 PDT http://technorati.com/search/blogs.riverfronttimes.com/atoz/2008/04/john_roderick_remembers_early.php 121 347 A to Z http://soundaslanguage.com/2008/04/22/best-new-music-the-details/ http://soundaslanguage.com/2008/04/22/best-new-music-the-details/ Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:01:42 -0700 BEST NEW MUSIC The Details “Draw A Distance.

Mind-blowing self-psychoanalysis follows here. So imagine my surprise when, over a cup of herbal tea, a close friend confronted me and accused me of being an introvert. This was a new wrinkle that I had never considered. Didn’t introverts put tinfoil over their windows and talk to canned peas?

First off: The Long Winters' leader goes to NYC. I'm reporting to you now from the exotic and glamorous Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, (which is not, apparently, the namesake of Houston rapper Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys), but which IS the latest Brooklyn neighborhood to be infested with the plague of conformist Williamsburg hipsters seeking cheap rent who are incrementally destroying New York in every dire 2008-03-21 07:30:45 PDT http://technorati.com/search/blogs.riverfronttimes.com/atoz/2008/03/john_roderick_of_the_long_wint.php 121 347 A to Z http://teamspacepirate.com/wordpress/bentaylor/2008/03/20/on-the-lookout-for-spring/ http://teamspacepirate.com/wordpress/bentaylor/2008/03/20/on-the-lookout-for-spring/ Thu, 20 Mar 2008 09:53:25 -0700 Today is the first day of spring… there is snow on the ground and it’s breezy and in the 40’s. Spring in Maine. Soon, so soon… each day beckons the buds on the trees a little more, the trickling ice-flows forming little streams seeping into basements and ponds. Spring in Maine. Branches to pick up, hoses to get out, seedlings to start, walks on the beach in a light sweatshirt, washing the car, walking around town… Spring in Maine. This is my second spring in Maine.
