Hey, Sloan has brought me some of my favorite Mascis recordings……………………
I thought I should honor him by sharing this article with you
It came out in Athens this Wednesday.I thought for a long time that bootlegs were a no-no, but I guess people are starting to accept them. I guess you can also call them anthropological recordings.

It seems — paradoxically — that only bands that already make megabucks are the ones opposed to bootlegs anymore (like the execrable Dave Matthews Band, but maybe that’s because they don’t want more people to get a chance to hear how bad they SUCK). Them, and grouchy old Bob Mould.

Must be a recent development then — a few years back he made some folks take down some shows they had posted and has stated in interviews and on his blog how he doesn’t really like recordings of his shows being circulated, even though he cops to having and loving some great bootleg lps of other bands.

When I saw him live last year (September) his live taping policy was something like "totally cool with me" – I tried finding out before the show becasue I wanted to record. Well, whatever, even Dave Mathyuck Band said "yes" first, than a big "no no" and then "yes" again…
who cares ?
a ton of respect goes out to Sloan S. !
