The Heartbreakers’ Benmont Tench is about to release a solo album, You Should Be So Lucky, produced by the legendary Glyn Johns.

What motivates an inexhaustible genius? “I spend money as soon as I get it…” Story: Jaan Uhelszki

An interview with Elliott Smith: “If everybody really acted like how they felt all the time, it would be total madness.”

Reading a magazine this morning, I noticed that there are a bunch of tribute shows to Elliott Smith coming up; ostensibly I guess to commemorate the fact that, horrifyingly, the tenth anniversary of his death is coming up in a couple of months.
