My interview with Scott McCaughey from the Minus 5 is up at PopMatters today. I'm showing my age, however, digging back to 1989 for what I think is some interesting historical context. McCaughey was doing press to promote the 5's great new self-titled disc, also known as "the Gun Album" because of the handgun on the cover. I was pleasantly surprised at just how good the disc is until I went back and listened to the group's previous work, which is uniformly excellent. I miss the Young Fresh Fellows (though McCaughey reports that there are rumblings of a return) but the Minus 5 is a more than worthy, um, replacement.
