Sonny, another great interview with David. I had the opportunity to see David perform at a very small club in Boulder, Colorado last week. After the show, we talked and he was very complimentary about you and the podcast.
The start of the interview had me nodding but then I thought about it…all music media gets about 10-20 years: 45 and 78, LP, 8 track, cassette, cd, mp3, streaming. all dominate for 10-20 years. And that doesnt include the media that failed. Very quick shelf life for music media
Cracker was the one band whose releases I always looked forward to in the '90's and 20-'oughts'. Seven great original albums (and a country covers one I skipped) followed by a great Lowery solo release in 2011. All to say, thanks for the interview.
Thanks for this interview! I completely forgot about Camper. Periodically, I write down yet another group that I listened to back in the day so that I can fill out my music collection. I was in my 20s in the 80s and the music in the clubs was just fantastic. Groups like Camper were very creative and produced some exquisite songs.
As for music industry representations, I still go to the Brady Bunch episode in which Greg becomes Johnny Bravo simply because he "fits the jacket". Seeing that as a kid set my up for the reality of the industry and made me wonder about the bands I was seeing, real or constructed? It's all about the money. Even kid shows can speak truth!

My comment was veering toward TLDR territory, so I’ll create a note. Thanks for a great interview.

The album "Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart" was the most artistically successful indie to major leap, with the possible exception of "Nevermind."

Steve - you gotta try Country Sides! Cracker & CVB always had some twang going, and the non- country version Cracker cover of “Duty Free” is awesome!
