[NewMusic] Tom Nunn in today's Chron

[Jon Raskin]

He's been covering the scene for over 20 years and I think is quite
knowledgeable about the music scene and music in general.  He has a broad
interest in music and has always supported local artists with his writing,
radio show on KPFA and presence  Rova has performed on his show throughout
his tenure at KPFA. His show leans toward singer songwriters but he mixes it
up with occasional avant jazz and the like. 

He is someone that you should notify if you have shows coming up and want
radio annoucements or previews.

the tape fest got a writeup in their "8 days a week" rip off (whatever they
call it) and it was similarly awful.  and it also brought in a lot of
people..

about Derk, i seem to remember back in the beanbenders and independent east
bay express days the same kind of thing -- it was great that he was putting
in a number of previews/recommendations, but at the same time it was obvious
that he was only partially aware of the music and scene -- i guess you could
argue that's the kind of person you need to bridge the gap between the elite
and the general public. in general i don't agree... i think the more
enigmatic this music is the better and hate "educational" articles,
pre-concert talks, etc... [ i think i jumped a few stages in my thinking
here, but i'm late to the gig gotta go ]
