jsguntzel says I never mentioned it--mostly because I had no intention of doing any music writing. It's mostly stories about cops (primarily of the sex crimes and immigration variety). Happy to have an excuse to come back to Mog, if only for a little bit. Seems like I can never find the time to write about music. I'd love for that to change. Still listening nonstop to Numero releases, by the way...I owe you. And didn't you move?

jenny says Hey, Jeff, welcome back, fantastic piece, really great. (They gave you a ton of space, didn't they? Whoa...next time I have to cut something back to 200 words, I'm gonna think about you.) I interviewed Craig once, and have seen them a couple of times but not since they got so big...what a band.

kristiana says Boy I miss your writing. Really enjoyed this article, very evocative - your words form pictures like no other, wish we had more posts from you lately. Bring back the month of the phonograph! I was just thinking of it the other day, but nobody else could fill yer boots. So back in Minneapolis eh?! Nashville didn't pan out? Bet it feels good in a way. No time to start up a band I suppose..?

jsguntzel says There is a band! No name yet. 3 other fellows from a bunch of local bands (Selby Tigers, Die Electric!, International Robot, The Monarques). It's really, really fun.

kristiana says YES!!! That's what I like to hear! Me too, finally, after all that talk! We're also a 4 piece. Practice in an unheated church - top that for freakin' inspiration, haha. What kinda sound are we talking about here?!

Davis Presley says Nice piece in this weeks Pages. International Robot. Haven't heard that name in a while. My old roommate (now a Seattle transplant) played bass with Danny & Brian in the original incarnation. Has Die Electric called it a day?

jsguntzel says Die Electric still exists, but is sleeping. Dave and Brian from Die Electric are both in the new band. We're playing the Triple Rock in early January. You should come!
