happy halloween eve gift and this week's reading (with proper attribution)

a feature for the Voice with Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers and the Hold Steady's Craig Finn can be found here.

Part One of Possibly 4th Street #23 with Howlin' Rain (the performance part) is a here.

Part Two (the interview part) is here.

and my long-form interview with Vic Chesnutt concerning the release of his Dark Developments album with Elf Power and the Amorphous Strums (complete with MP3 downloads) is here.

note: language used in almost every interview, and particularly these last two, is not particularly suitable for work, pre-teens or people old enough to vote for John McCain.
