Nowhere Band News

Continuing a (sort of disturbing) trend of ahead-of-schedule comics, I present Nowhere #22, which lays out Josh’s take on how the music scene actually functions.

As always, while this isn’t directly autobiographical (my shitty post-college job wasn’t a temp job, and I answered phones rather than stuffing envelopes), this is a pretty accurate summation of both my job-selection thought process and how I thought the music scene worked. I really didn’t think I’d be working more than 6 months before I was either writing for a living or making money off of Red Hay’s record contract. And I really did sort of have a “plan” worked out where if the right things happened, I could replace John Stirratt as Wilco’s bass player. This was, of course, before Stiratt’s strange Rasputin-like tendency to stay in Jeff Tweedy’s good graces while Wilco’s other roster slots rotated like the Timberwolves in garbage time.

So, all else being equal, I guess Josh would have a better shot at infiltrating Low than I would’ve infiltrating Wilco.
