musical tastes

The music of z=z in a nutshell. Go check out Octopus Pie, a narrative-style webcomic following the adventures of a crew of Brooklynites, created by Meredith Gran. She’s a resident of Northampton, MA, which seems to be the epicentre of a webcomics cabal.

Video interview: Freezepop

December 12, 2008


[embedded video; if you can’t watch it, click here]

Speaking of Freezepop, the above is a short interview they did for WePC.com (it’s an Asus/Intel vaguely astroturf-y ‘community-building’ site). The video is pretty much worth watching just for the Duke’s barely-restrained sarcastic understatement as he explains the relationship between the band and music videogames and what being a musician was like in the bad old days.

For a different facet of Freezepop, check out this webcomic.

Welcome Diesel Sweeties fans!

(portrait by rstevens, of course)

zed equals zee is a site about indie music. I focus on local music, mostly in Boston and Seattle (about). Occasionally, it gets a little scholarly, sometimes it’s historical, and sometimes it’s just plain fun. Scroll down for some recent additions.

Some posts that DS fans might particularly like: The music nerd’s burden; Listen local: The Motion Sick; Amp up your air guitarMore on concert etiquette.

Thanks for coming by!
