MP3: Sam Prekop
Just got a promo of the new Sam Prekop record -- Who's Your New Professor -- and while the press materials try and fool you with misguided talk about "different directions" you can (and should) expect the same, ever-reliable Prekop you've grown to love. With some artists we expect constant evolution, yet with this talented Chicago crooner, I tend to hope he stays the same on each record, whistfully spinning tales with that reedy voice; an undeniable mixture of Muzak, Prozac and Amtrak (Prekop is great for road trips.) This record doesn't come out until Spring '05 so I wont say much about it and simply warn that these MP3s will only be up for a week or two because it is such a rare occassion that scissorkick gets such prized promotional stuff. So download and enjoy! Expect another MP3 sometime in early Spring when the record drops. And make sure to grab all of his stuff available on Thrill Jockey.

Also, big John over at Tofu Hut , one of the Web's most eclectic and knowledgeable MP3 blogs, has published an interview with scissorkick in his Meet the Neighbors section that he posts each week. I had a chance to drunkenly eat a turkey club while talking/spitting about music one night after a DJ gig and he is all that the site purports. I was about 10 seconds away from opening his chest up with a butter knife to see if there was a hard drive under his rib cage. The dude simply knows too much. The interview will also be posted on Better Propaganda so check it out if you want to know more about the site and its influences. Enough on that.
