Laughing So As Not to Cry: An Eric Peters Interview –Part I
Note: As I am about to demonstrate to the world, I have no idea how to do a real interview. But Eric Peters, in his mercy, agreed to do one with me. Now I'm thinking of a lot of questions I should have asked, but they aren't really good ones either. So the dumb stuff is my fault. Yet I love that this interview does reveal Eric's sense of humor and humility and made me even more of a fan than I was … [Read more...] about Laughing So As Not to Cry: An Eric Peters Interview –Part I

Bright New Chrome
Eric Peters, bird-lover and future former farmer, has posted a song from his nearly-released new record, Chrome. It's called "I'll Go With You" and it's a self-fulfilling title as it has gone with me all over --totally stuck in my head. This is another common EP experience. His songs get stuck in your head, but not in an annoying way. You do not wish for them to become unstuck. The song is a … [Read more...] about Bright New Chrome
