Ladies and gentlemen: I am no longer the most famous punk rock affiliated blogger. That would be the illustrious Ben Weasel, whose new, just-started blog, Weasel Manor, is here. He originally told me his idea was to "share his musings on baseball and Steven Seagal movies," but he also indicates that he's considering a post on the issue of stealing music over the internet, which should rile a few people up. He also has an update on the status of the book-length interview on songwriting that he did with me, that should be coming out at some point in the near future, which I get a lot of questions about.
Anyway, for those who don't know, Ben is a great, provocative writer and an idol to hordes of fans (of his bands Screeching Weasel and the Riverdales among other things-- see details here.) Let's hope he sticks with it-- it ought to be fun.

I love it.

I'm waiting for Cisco of Scared of Chaka to do one on free trade issues.
