Homecoming: GOLDMINE Magazine interviews me about THE FLASHCUBES TRIBUTE ALBUM

As many of you know, I was a freelance writer for Goldmine magazine for twenty years, 1986-2006. My Goldmine experience was a very important part of my development as a writer, and whatever notoriety I've managed to establish over the decades was built in large part from that experience. You can read my memoir about my road to Goldmine here.

Given Goldmine's importance in establishing who I am and how I came to be, it was quite an honor when current Goldmine Contributing Editor Warren Kurtz contacted me for an interview about my recent project Make Something Happen! A Tribute To The Flashcubes.

HOMECOMING! 

For his piece on my Flashcubes tribute album, Warren selected his five favorite tracks and asked me questions about each of the five. He mixed my quotes with his own commentary, provided proper context, and pulled it all together for your rockin' pop perusal:

21 Artists Pay Tribute To The Flashcubes On New Album

I conducted a number of interviews as a Goldmine contributor (most notably the 1994 Ramones interviews that later became the basis for my 2023 Ramones book), and I have in turn been interviewed by several media outlets since my Goldmine days. It is such a thrill to be interviewed by the magazine that made me. Big thanks to Warren, to everyone at Goldmine, to Christina Bulbenko and Rex Broome at Big Stir Records, and to the Flashcubes and all of the talented artists that collectively made something happen.

And now that you've read about this too-cool album....BUY IT!
