Jerry Kranitz Revealed In New Interview

12/18/2019

Jerry Kranitz has been writing about and broadcasting unique music for years, but up to now, I have never experienced an interview about him and his activities. Many visitors to the E Cottage are aware of Jerry's talents, but I'm guessing that his legacy and motivations are sketchy mysteries to the majority of us.

The link in the Tube box below goes to an interview that Jerry recently did with Christina Poupoutsi of The Higher Craft – Jerry being the interviewee, Christina the interviewer. He talks about his soon-to-be released book about early cassette culture, as well as about his archiving projects with Harsh Reality and Terry Brooks. If the season allows you to take a time out from whatever you're up to, check this out and get to know this chronicler of our species a little better…

Thanks Charles!! It’s so much better getting such a nice plug than tooting my own horn!

Yes, Charles, thanks for posting this fun interview with Jerry. Very interesting! I really appreciated your response observation on the Residents album, Eskimo, Jerry. That album is like one long song...And it was great to hear you talk about the Harsh Reality Music project that you, Chris and Hal have been working on. Kudos to all!

Thanks for listening Leslie! I don’t recall what or how much I said in the interview, but when I lived in Atlanta in the early-mid 80s I was working 70-80 a week in restaurants. I’d get home around 6am, exhausted yet wired. There’s was a period where the only thing that could get me to sleep was putting on Eskimo before getting into bed.
