++Gordon Gano, former lead singer of the Violent Femmes has a new project called Gordon Gano and The Ryans that's being promoted by Boing Boing. Video up top.

 

 

++ Another frontman, Sam Coombes (of the band Quasi), slams down his 2c on the meaning of 'Indie Music.'

He's currently working under the name Blue Goblins, but says that fans needn't worry, Quasi are about to record their next full length and that he will tour as Blue Goblins on the side whenever he gets the chance.

 

++Y'all Know My Name?: Here's a cute post on Nah Right about Charles Hamilton, whose song Brooklyn Girls I loved and posted not so long ago. He's now "back" after being dropped by Interscope. Some commenters didn't know who he was, let alone that he was gone.
