berlin interview with CHARLES MCNERNEY for Well-Rounded Radio
listen here:

this is pretty great. NEVER AGAIN need i tell the checkered history of my long
walk around the nearly extinct block of the music industry. it's all here. music + talk. warts + weirdness. charles did a fine fine job, interweaving tunes from '74 - '09 in a great, amusing + touching way. highly recommended.
