The Hoboken Sound: An Oral History of Maxwell's

After Nirvana became big, the major booking agencies wanted you to take their shitty post-grunge bands in order to get their good bands. One very vivid memory is—what’s the name of that fucking band? Starts with a K. Korn. When Korn played Maxwell’s, I said to myself, “What the fuck am I doing here?” The crowd was ugly. The bass player punched their bus driver in the face. It was the exact opposite of why I opened Maxwell’s.

♪♫ Ewan MacColl - Dirty Old Town


I recently finished reading Rob Young's Electric Eden (an excellent history of folk music in the UK), and came across MacColl and Charles Parker's Radio Ballads for the first time. You can watch Philip Donnellan's interpretation of three of them HERE
