ISSUE 10

Whatever Start Here: What's in this issue, why you should read it, etc. Go to town.	Cover Story: The Importance of Being Strangefolk: The Good Citizen Interview, Part One Burlington's improvisational scene was given a major national boost recently when our homies Strangefolk signed on with a major international record label. What does it all mean? How will they handle it? And why is this just another step on the slow, inevitable path of Strangefolk? Andrew Smith sits the boys down at the Good Citizen office and they talk. You read.
Mia: Club Goddess In her second column for Good Citizen, our pal and gal around town Mia Sladyk will tell you about all the great shows you missed. In this issue, Mia raves about Ozomatli and she has lunch at Stone Soup with Marc Ribot.	On the Road: Rik Palieri Vermont-based folk singer Rik Palieri is a traveling man, yesiree. And this summer, Rik checked out the 98th Annual Hobo Convention out in Idaho and he lived to tell the tale. Find out how.

Burlington Free Press columnist Steve Lemcke meets up with the Matchbox 20 guys at Club Toast and gives them the Burlington tour. They drink profusely, run from screaming fans, and Lemcke tells them their music sucks.
The Burlington Student Survival Guide Okay, we're just a bunch of lame musicians and we don't think we know any better than the next lame musician, but we do live in Burlington and we are poor, so, we think we're pretty qualified to tell all the incoming students where they can find good food cheap, see great live music, and buy cool clothes. We know where the waitresses suck and we know where they work their asses off, so that should count for something. You be the judge.	The Words and Wisdom of Big Joe Burrell Our very own blues legend talks about jam sessions and playing music for the love of playing music. Read carefully.

Lead singer Sean Kelly dropped out of Milton High School in 1983 and did time in various Burlington bands before heading west and starting the band that would sell 750,000 albums. Andrew Smith gets a phone call from Sean Kelly and gets a taste of the Samples.	College Radio 101 Chris Parizo talks to WRUV's station manager Alex Martin and WWPV's station manager Kevin Murrihy about college radio. Why they play the music they play and how they pick the bands.
