Thanks. I've known Larry for over 20 years. He's one of those rare people who's been able to keep a label relevant and remain truly independent. That's really hard to do these days. The plot is continually lost as labels stumble around in the dark, trying to find a business model in the world of streaming and declining physical sales. Alongside Friedl, he's one of the few people in the biz I consider a friend. You can't go wrong supporting ITR.
I've got a few interviews penciled in for the summer. Craig Bell, Chip Kinman, Jon Langford...two or three others, newer artists. Adam Smith of Columbus Discount Records -- he also fixes 1970s modular synths -- is just about finished with his studio (24-track analog board). He'll probably be in there -- he knows how the sausage is made. I'm going to release another volume of Bored Out.
