No Exits Before 2006

I just discovered that the text of the piece I wrote back in January for the New Zealand Listener about changes in pop music in '06 is online. No big revelations; I get the impression that the Listener is like the Saturday Evening Post of NZ, i.e. not the place to get super-esoteric. Fairly solid piece tho, I think, even with a couple hundred words lopped off. (Click here and scroll down to the bottom of the page, then follow to the next page.)

This modestly marks my renewed association with City Pages' music section.
