  • iseevoices.com iseevoices
    Globe-trotting web journalist (and friend of the ‘Trope) Matthias B. Krause forwarded this link:

    Produced by a couple of Svens (Haeusler, Müller), iseevoices is a series of interviews featuring notable people opining upon tightly-focused themes.1

    A sample — Here is Billy Bragg discussing “Anger” (and the value of a cup of coffee in the morning):

  • David Byrne Journal: 08.25.09: The Kindle Experience
    David Byrne — one time Talking Head (and these days a regular one-man battalion of artistic endeavors) on why, when it comes to books, paper still beats plastic.

  • Leonard Cohen’s return : The New Yorker

  • Trent Reznor Still Mouthing Off About Chris Cornell – Where’s The Beef? – Stereogum
    Stereogum had this post the other day about the Trent Reznor fixation with Chris Cornell’s latest “work” (which they’ve discussed to hilarious effect previously). Some of it seems to be professional rivalry, but he makes a larger point about the role that established artists can play in setting a tone for people just starting out that I think is worth considering.

    1. Note to anyone looking for a new band name: I think “A Couple of Svens” is available.
