I wouldn't take the word of anyone who can't actually get their facts right - Goodge was BASSIST, not vocalist.

free jazz/improv has a small but committed audience. ppl who are into indie go into management.
seems roughly equal to "I will spin it positively for the subculture I like, and negatively for the one I don't" - if indie is "dead," then free jazz has decomposed. I happen to like both so whateveh, but I just wanted to say.
― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 13:07 (twenty years ago) link
(but actually, indie is not that much of a 'subculture' anymore whereas 60s jazz and free improv (there is a distinction here btw), despite being older, has more of that, but that doesn't matter)

Kevin ShieldsMember Since May 2003 Last Login 01/06/2004
Gender:Male
Interested inMeeting People for:Friends, Activity Partners
Status:Single
Age:40
Occupation:Recording artist & dyslexia spokesman
Location:United Kingdom
Hometown:Long Island, NY and Dublin, Ireland
Interests:Rearranging my recording studio, bankrupting record labels, the hypnagogic state, gourmet meals, martial arts, breeding chinchillas, smoking lots of dope, watching lots of TV, easy projects, writing fresh and simple material, and just keeping it simple!
Favorite Music:Beach Boys, Burt Bacharach, Beatles, Public Enemy, Sonic Youth, Ramones
Favorite TV Shows:Just about anything, really.
About Me:You may have heard of my band, My Bloody Valentine. Many critics have written about us in very flowery terms. I don't think I understood what they were saying in those reviews half the time. That guy from Phish loves me guitar sounds though. Do me a favor and buy my Lost in Translation soundtrack. Island Records isn't helping me out much these days. Also kids, don't forget to buy our box set that's coming out in early '04.
Who I Want to Meet:Great recording effects designers, more film directors, those with good weed, record labels who understand my fondness for expensive food and all of the time I like to spend in and out of the studio. Just remember... I NO LONGER DO REMIXES!
