Mike Watt was in town today to play at the big gig in the Avenue and this afteroon he stopped over at McNally Smith College of Music to give a seminar on playing the bass. He was gracious to allow me to slip into his busy schedule and chat with him for a short time, which I hope some of you heard at 9.30 tonight. You can catch up with him at...hootpage.com and he has a regular webradio show at...twfps.com
where he spins his record collection and talks to friends, who happen to include people like Lee Renaldo of Sonic Youth.
He has also this year been on tour with Iggy playing in the reformed Stooges. He told me that Iggy wants to make another album with them before he turns 60 and if all goes well they will tour the USA next year.
