Hello,
Welcome to issue #74!
I know I keep promising the touring musician series is going to start & one day it will for sure, but this time out I got tied up with the backstock of interviews that were trickling in when I was working on the Fathers interview book (now available as an ebook through Silber (or Amazon) or a hardcover book through Lulu). Anyway, a ton of interviews this time out. Featured Band Interview: Rivulets Bass Player Interviews: Tony Zanella of True Love Always, +/-, GD Airlock, & War Tempest Channing Azure of Alpha Cop Eric Baldoni of Colt Vista & Audios Amigos Jeanne Kennedy Crosby of Miss Massive Snowflake Rob Kohler Derek M. Poteat of Death Mission to Space Guitarist interviews: Campbell Kneale of Birchville Cat Motel Antony Milton of PseudoArcana Nevada Hill of Bludded Head Malcolm Brickhouse of Unlocking the Truth Chvad SB of Things Outside the Skin Scott Endres of Make & The Pod Label Owner Interviews: Richard Gordon of Russian Winter Records Bertrand Blanchard of Hello.L.A. Sietse van Erve of Moving Furniture Jerome Moncada of Basses Frequences Caethua of Saxwand Records Comic Creator Interviews: Richard Van Ingram creator of Loser Comix Tyler Sowles creator of The Numbered & Durontus JB Sapienza creator of My Name is Jonah Troy Vevasis creator of Tales of Trolik Victor Couwenbergh creator of Zik the Gallant Defender of Zoz Terry Hooper creator of Black Tower Adventure Travis Hymel creator of Boogey Brigade Robert Hendricks creator of Stranger Two Stranger Dirk Manning creator of Tales of Mr. Rhee & Nightmare World The big news for me this issue is that I’ve decided to start getting some of the interviews co-published on other websites to help spread the word about the artists I interview. So far the following folks have agreed to partner with QRD: Echoes And Dust, Squid’s Ear, Dagger, & Aural Innovations. Still looking for some folks to partner with on the comic front. This is really my first attempt to do anything to push QRD to new readers (aside from creating content) in years, so I’m pretty excited by the prospect of maybe getting QRD to a point where I can get a few higher profile interviews & maybe get the interest to make doing all this work finally make sense. I probably should’ve done this back in 1998 when QRD first went online, but I’m a slow learner. The cover of this issue is a reflection of my camera in an old lamp I got at a thrift store & the quote comes from the Russian Winter interview. Joined two new social networks this month. Instagram (then the next day I dropped my phone & broke the camera so I can't post anything there anymore) & This Is My Jam (which is kinda like Instagram with only songs). I like them because I feel like (at least so far) I am not using them as promotional tools, but just places to look at once a week & have some fun. Thanks for your interest & support. It means a lot to me. Hrt Brian John Mitchell
