ARCHIVES

I actually have an absolute stack of cuttings and complete editions of Melody Makers and NMEs (and other things too) from 1980 onwards. Typing out this stuff was incredibly tedious, but OCR is now go! Interviews are now being done by OCR and the Lips interview (almost 3,000 words) was a hell of a lot faster this way. This should mean that the emphasis on shorter articles will change so that longer (and more interesting) articles will start appearing.

Needless to say I have far more stuff than I could ever hope to put on the Web, but this page will list the ones that make it. (39 and counting) They will appear in no logical order - it's what comes to hand that takes my fancy, but hopefully they will be of interest to fans of the bands/artists concerned.

February 2006 Update - The first interview added in over 2 years! Sonic Youth - The Catalogue, October 1988
