  • Asobi Seksu, the internet friendly NYC band.  On how they recruited their drummer:

    Keith Hopkin: We found Glenn on craigslist.

    and a little later:

    EARLASH: Talk about the New York scene.

    Glenn Waldman:
    I think there’s a good group of people helping bands right now. Like
    Audrey [melodynelson.com] and Jasper [jenyk.com], who spend an awful
    lot of time helping the New York music scene, to bring it together and
    to showcase bands.

    KH: And a lot of the blogging has spread awareness of bands. There used to be ‘zines that helped bands. Now it’s blogs.

    GW: Blogs are the new ‘zines.

    KH:
    The blogs don’t just let people know what bands are out there, but it
    helps bands find each other and have more of a community.

    (The interviewer, Lindsay Robertson, also keeps a great blog: lindsayism.com).
