Mac McCaughan Discusses "Future of Radio" in Senate (Pitchfork)
MS: "Artists who thrive outside of the commercial realm depend on and deserve open access to public platforms such as the airwaves and the internet. Likewise, communities and citizens should have access to localized and diverse media. This is not just a means of doing business, but also an important facet of American life that needs to be nurtured and protected."

MS: "It's become a little like speeding," he posited. "The people who get caught in speed traps are usually pretty innocent — a soccer mom who's late to pick up her kid, or someone who's late for work. The habitual speeder, who drives 100 miles an hour all the time, is less likely to get the ticket because he's taken steps to reduce his risk. [Thus], it's less likely that the RIAA is going to get a really dedicated, eye-patch wearing, 'aargh'-sputtering pirate; it's more likely that they're going to get who doesn't know how to reduce personal risk and exposure."
The Sadies: Sweethearts of the Studio (Harp)
MS: Good explains that Albini saw his job as capturing the band’s live sound, not shaping it, “If you ask him what he thinks of your songs, he’ll respond, “It’s your record.” he says. Louris, by contrast, joined in singing, performing and songwriting. “Ultimately Gary was great at just doing exactly what Steve does, which is get the best out of us.”

MS: "The aim is to collect as many new bands as possible throughout the year and build up a strong roster of new acts," she said. "We've had some brilliant debut sets throughout the years, where bands start at Glastonbury on a very small stage and end up playing the Pyramid in a few years."
