Finally came across that journal at St. Marks Book Store. Good point about the economic whiplash musicians get when crossing borders. This is one reason it’s so important to create regional support systems.

What you said about choosing between money and music is extremely relevant. But I would have added nuance to that by saying your PRIORITY has to be money or music. If you expect everyone to stay broke, you’ll lose everyone by their 20s. But the goal definitely has to be making art, with money as a means to an end.

That was a great piece in N+1, thanks for that!

I am a swedish journalist who would like to ask you a question. Would you send me an email? Couldn’t find contact info.

I’m broke (what else is new?) but I gave in to subscribing to the magazine. The topics seemed relevant & I’m quite curious about your piece as someone who’s completely surrounded by dj culture from all sides.

thank you.

Hey Jace,
I’ve been resisting buying the n+1, only bc I’m trying not to bring additional paper into the house if I’m not going to read more than once, but now I want to see your writing in longer mode. Pido cacao, I give up.

Don’t get me started on the translation thing, it’s something I’m thinking and writing about of late…

We need to do another taco night on 5th Ave. soon! Abrazos a Rocio…

Haha I can’t tell from your review whether I should kicked down the $10 to buy this mag or not (that’s assuming I can find copies at City Lights or Green Apple.) I mean yet another piece on the financial crisis sure does sound exciting. . .
