hile prophets of grunge Kurt Cobain and Nirvana were looking just plain dirty on the musical forefront (in much need of a hot bath and that stick of "Teen Spirit" they were croaking about), hygiene-discerning frontman Stephen Malkmus and Pavement were bringing up the rear on the college radio tip. With their seminal albums Slanted & Enchanted (1992) and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994), Matador's thriftstore cowboys instantly became the critics' new John Wayne and continued to solidify their cult status through most of the mid-'90s. [Slanted & Enchanted recently made Spin's "The Best 90 of the '90s" list, record checking in at #5-puckering up nicely to Beck's #4 derriere Odelay.]

First step toward recovery is admission, my shrink once told me. Yet after hours upon hours on that plush, red couch of his and thousands of dollars out of my dad's pocket, I am still at a loss. Perhaps I should try joining a cult. I hear Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church is having a new member drive.

Chris Hoover: When I read the back of Birdsong, I thought, great, a novel about love and war, it's like Hemingway. I hate Hemingway. But as I skimmed it, I noticed the whole romanticism of your writing. For those who haven't read you, who were some of your inspirations, how would you describe yourself as a writer, your style of writing?

"Who the hell are the Boo Radleys?" was the question posed by a baffled young man on our way to the Boo Radleys/Better Than Ezra show on Monday night at the Cat's Cradle. With sly smirks across their wisdom-filled faces, the music experts, Paul (Mr. Mercury Records and quite a studly brother from Kappa Sig) and Maneesh (of Speak of the Devil-fame), replied: "umm...a Brit-pop band, little dark, with a touch of Spinal Tap." "So, what the hell does that mean?" asked their still-puzzled friend.
