My one-man crew, Garland Gallaspy, and I packed up the car and took off for Austin early Wednesday morning to interview Gerard Cosloy from Matador Records and 12XU. Garland did all of the driving; 15 hours to get there, 12 to get back.
If you see this man, buy him a drink:
Looking for a place to shoot in Austin? Want a 40 cent beer and a kick ass cheeseburger? Texas Showdown is the place, on the corner of 27th and Guadalupe. These folks let us take over their patio for hours:
First, we interviewed Emily Groves, who was kind enough to put us in touch with her friend who has more live footage to lend to the project. Gerard showed up shortly after and gave a 40 minute interview covering the entire Matador era of Silkworm and the release of "Chokes!" It's truly a pleasure to have him in our film.
Cosloy on "Never Met A Man I Didn't Like":
"If I had to be immortalized in a song by anybody, as a money lender no less, I could do a lot worse than Andy Cohen."
We hit the road again in December.
