[NewMusic] Tom Nunn in today's Chron

[Matt J. Ingalls]

i seem to remember him saying ( on this list? ) that, at least 
originally, he  wasn't into the music and was assigned the "beat" because 
no one else wanted it.  that's not to say he has been unsupportive or 
has written pejorative articles or something... but he certainly is not a 
fan on the level of Jacob F.H. going to 10 shows a week.
