With the February release of How To Write About Music, the May release of our books on Freedom of Choice, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, and the Super Mario Bros.

Last Tuesday, June 9th, Evie Nagy traveled to the wonderful BookPeople bookstore in Austin, Texas to chat with Amy Gentry about her new 33 1/3 on Devo’s Freedom of Choice–-out just this past May.
