AP.net Interview: Kevin Devine

Posted by: Adam Pfleider (10/29/09)
My interview with Kevin Devine can be seen here. The user interview will be posted tomorrow.
QuoteI think there's a lot of good music out and plenty of people looking to enrich their lives listening to it and seeing it live. I don't think anyone will sell 10 million copies of anything musically ever again, but I do think people have never had more access to music, more ways to find out about bands, and I think people will keep seeking out things to enhance or mirror their experience, or to provide a social context, a way to meet like-minded people, a night out.

lol @ "best of his career"

His older writing -- especially musically -- is far so much better.

I agree, I always find Adam's contributions to be really interesting and well done. Kevin Devine is a great artist and I'm glad that the staff members on this website continue posting news/reviews about those artists that balance out the rest of the dribble that people do visit this site for. While APnet treads that line between those more pretentious music sites like Pitchfork and something like fueled by trash, sometimes I have felt its slant toward the latter. It's nice to not have ONLY "hipster schlock" or ONLY "scene queen" news over & over and have some worthwhile threads/reviews/interviews/news posts about legit artists.
