Dispatch Magazine has an interview with Artie, a friend of mine, about his record label Tea First Recordshttp://teafirstrecords.com/Home.html and the wonderful music in their catalog.
The majority of the work released via Tea First is located at a truly fascinating impasse between electronic music, avant-garde composition, and a sort of uber-mellow post-rock. It’s not really rock or pop, but it’s also not tried-and-true classical music, and it’s far too melodic and composed to be any sort of ‘out music’ or the like. One really has to take a listen to Graham‘s Grimpen Mire or Selbyville’s Quiet Until the Thaw, the closest things to ‘flagship’ releases that the young label has, to really observe how hard it is to pin down what Tea First specializes in. Fans of all things glacial will rejoice, though, when they realize just how much of a haven the label is to their tastes.

If you’re an Eno fan, quite funny….then it get’s funnier once you realize that something else is a bit askew.
… He’s got a picture of himself as his wallpaper. Hilarious!

A Veteran Mad Man Remains in the Fold - an interview of Al Jaffee.
I was surprised to learn that he paints all of the Mad Fold–ins on board and thus doesn’t fold them while painting. It’s all done by eye!
