    From Jason Gross@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 1 20:05:30 2022
    Greetings,

    In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <https://www.furious.com/perfect/index1222.html>, you'll find (among other things):


    ROY MONTGOMERY
    Kiwi guitar god appeciated, by Brett Abrahamsen
    "In a just and fair world, Roy Montgomery would stand next to Beethoven, Mozart, Zappa and Coltrane in the pantheon of great composers. Lennon and McCartney would be relegated to the realm of Abba and Spice Girls, and books would be written about
    Montgomery's greatness and daring. It is indeed a symptom of Western society's ignorance that Montgomery is not widely hailed as a compositional genius. Even "serious" music critics tend to focus on the catchy refrain - not, unfortunately, on artistic
    value."


    TOURING NO MORE?
    How indie, avant artists say they'll manage, by J. Vognsen
    "Pandemics, war and climate change at least challenge the idea of touring, raising a number of questions: Will international travel remain as safe and convenient? Will it remain as affordable? Can all this burning of fossil fuel even be justified? In
    that spirit, we asked several artists 'what if live music again became primarily a much more local phenomenon? How would you adapt financially and creatively?'"

    We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

    See you online,
    Jason
