Another very philosophical interview, with Daniel Ash, guitarist in Bauhaus, Tones On Tails, Love & Rockets a.o., with his takes on creativity and how / why bands function. Or not. The Problem With Music by Steve Albini - still worth reading although written in 1993 - an angry little essay about the business practices of the major labels.
