A new issue of Perfect Sound Forever is out. This iteration of the online music 'zine features an interview with Dan Snaith of Caribou, who talks about favorite bands, his creative process, and most interestingly music downloads.

I kinda think of it as being sorta flattering if people are interested in getting the music. I’m sure some people are downloading it and not buying it but then they tell three friends about it and one of them buys it, or they go to a show or buy a T-shirt or whatever. Ask me when I’m selling zero records! [laughs] Right now, I couldn’t criticize it because firstly, I do it myself and secondly, I think it’s more a good thing - it kinda just spreads the word for like a small artist like myself.

The interview also links to a less-than-informative page about a new Caribou DVD. After seeing Caribou live, I wished I could buy a DVD of the videos projected on stage, and it seems my wish has come true.

The new issue also has a feature about Jandek, including a guide to the artist's vast output. I particularly enjoyed the reviewer's rating system, which ranges from "mulch" to "masterpiece" and his use of the Kurt Cobain quote, "Jandek's not pretentious, but only pretentious people like his music." I think I may have seen this quote before, but reading it today it seemed particularly apt.
