SPECIAL INTERESTS BLOG opened

Still work in progress, but at this point includes links to pretty much all artists interviewed in magazine in main post section. Click links of each magazine to see front cover and content infos. Links to SI audio programs and distributors. Some more stuff will be done and site adjusted...

Artists soundlinks are in chronological order, starting from issue 9 and going backwards to the older content.

I have had the 5th issue "for ages" but I never knew you (Aaron Vilk, to be precise) had interviewed Saunders for SI. I really like his stuff, very powerful in all its uniqueness but also maybe a little too position taking for my liking. After checking some of the soundlinks from other artists, I realized I have been skipping way too many interviews. On that regard this blog is really great idea and I'm sure I'll not be the only one to find a lot of "new" interesting material through it.

Having YouTube on while reading SI has always been something of a necessity for me. It's got to be said, YouTube has become one of the most essential sites on the net, now that people are using it for good as well as crap. Whole albums, whole lengthy pieces, live performances, previously rare clips - it's not just for cats playing keyboards any more.

Wow this is a great idea. I have all the issues but it's nice to have a quick reference for which articles/interviews are in which issue.

Quite curious habit. I personally always read magazines from cover to cover - perhaps not in chronological order, but nevertheless. Intent is to find interviews that spark the inspiration to check out artists.

Yeah. One notable thing is often inferior sound quality. For some material it is not absolute necessity to have 100% perfection, but there are endless amount of good material that is so compressed it's impossible for me to listen them. But while I'm still not into downloading music, for this type of purposes, streaming clips is certainly handy.
