My pals at the Washington City Paper asked me to distribute this:
Starting this week, we're featuring a new advice column by legendary musician and D.C. resident Bob Mould, who'll be fielding readers' questions about D.C. life, music, U Street gentrification, touring tips, workout tips, relationships, etc. The idea is to draw on Bob's expertise as somebody who knows the District and is a good storyteller: for an idea of where he comes from, check out his blog at modulate.blogspot.com. Nothing is officially off-limits, but he's not interested in addressing Trekkie-type minutiae about his past. ("I have a question about the microphone you used to record the vocals on 'Hardly Getting Over It'...")
We'll set up a dedicated address soon. In the meantime you can send questions to
mathitakis@washingtoncitypaper.comMark Athitakis

UPDATE: The official address for questions is artseditor@washingtoncitypaper.com
Wow, thanks for the heads-up. Bob's a good writer and has plenty of perspective, so the column could be very interesting. But it's amazing that this is the same guy who fiercely guarded his personal life years ago — quite a transformation.
Strange he hasn't mentioned the forthcoming column on his blog yet, though.
