Cream The People Issue 2010: These People Live Here, Do Cool Stuff
Posted by Tracy Moore on Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 12:53 PM
For our second annual People Issue, we rounded up a new slew of folks, among them many music types, who inhabit our fair city. We got their stories, and they're good'uns. Gold talked to Chris Scruggs -- and is possibly the first person to report on Scruggs' only recent first-time meeting with his grandfather Earl. He also picked the powerful brain of local rock lawyer Kent Marcus, a must-read for anyone still lookin' for a record deal.
Maloney wrote about trash-pop star Ke$ha, who just got too ridiculously famous to do a 5-minute phoner or even answer questions via email, and illuminated the talents of Billy Goats DJ Sarah Chrosniak, aka DJ Eticut. Patrick took on the bloggers/obscurists at Nashville's Dead, and I give you mega-rock producer Nick Raskulinecz, now a Nashville resident. (Any Superdrag fans will know him as the dude who did the Fabulous 8-Track Sound of Superdrag and Stereo 360 Sound as well as In the Valley of the Dying Stars*. He talks about his decision not to record/produce Last Call for Vitriol.)
If none of that's enough to intrigue you, the pictures (outtakes here) taken by our staff photog and all-around badass Eric England are killa-cool.

I think John Davis did/still does the four-track stuff himself; Nick recorded all the early 7"s, the Fabulous 8-Track Sound Of... EP, and demos for the first 2 Elektra albums on his cassette 8-track. A great read regardless... thanks. The Chris Scruggs article was cool, too.

Yeah, you're right -- I meant the 8-track Sounds, which is correct in the story.
It was good to Dee Snyder on the cover of the Nashville Scene. I remember when Dee, Frank Zappa and John Denver went before Tipper Gore and Congress and told those hacks "we're not gonna take it." Now Frank's dead from the poop shoot and John's dead from too much sunshine on his shoulder but Dee Snyder is rockin' the Scene. Keep up the good work!
