The
Foreign Press gave me their submission just last night, and I'm quite
excited about it; it perfectly captures their whiskey-soaked,
tattered-copy-of-a-Charles Bukowski-poetry-anthology ragged
goodness. What I find so inspiring about TFP is that they
embrace art in all its forms, and make it a priority in their lives,
and it's given me more confidence to do so as well. Andy's
blog gives you a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about, with its
combination of visual art, poetry, and political enthusiasms.
This is a band that played every night for years in Andy's small
apartment at 17th & P in Northwest DC, with no real aspirations
beyond just creating music; I'm flattered to release this great EP and
help them be heard by others.
