Welcome to QRD #50.  Holy crap.  50 sounds like a lot.  It is a lot.  & I have the content for the next three issues already sitting on my computer waiting to be edited & made into issues.  Then I’m not sure what will happen.  The year of experimenting with a dramatic increase in QRD content is ending & I’ve done around 200 interviews in that time, which is pretty insane to think about.  But the ad revenue I’d hoped this would raise (or increased interest in Silber since that’s half of my ad content) hasn’t come to fruition & neither has there seemed to be a dramatic increase in traffic to the site.  It makes me think maybe the internet has jumped the shark as far as being able to get more information to more people than a little photocopied zine like this started as in 1994.  So maybe I’ll go down from an issue a month back to a couple issues a year.  I don’t know.  I like the series interviews & I still really want to do a series with drummers & songwriters & singers & touring musicians & I guess that could get a whole extra year of content.

Anyway, this issue is the third installment of our Father’s Day interviews with artistic (usually musician) dads & with about 40 we have done in the past, this one is admitedly a little low on content & we may do another issue in a couple years when more of our friends have had kids:
Jason Ward of Irata (June 2011) - the drummer of Irata
Khristian Weeks (June 2011) - sound artist
Don Campau (June 2011) - famed DJ & home recordist
Eugene Chadbourne (June 2011) - sound artist & free jazz institution
Kurt Dinse of One Year in Indiana (June 2011) - indie comic artist
Justin Bieler of I Had An Accident Records (June 2011) - indie label owner

Thanks as always for your interest & support.  Feel free to donate money or buy one of our ultra-cheap ads or buy some stuff over at Silber Records.  New issues coming soon with label owners, guitarists, indie comic folks & more.
