Josh Slobin

Nickname? The Communist
Age? Too old to rawk.
Location? Psychedelphia, PA
Profession? Student, again.
Involvement in Bettawreckonize? Outraged onlooker
Are you in a band? No, I just rock out solo-basement-style.
Do you write for other zines? I only have eyes for you, BettaWreckonize-dot-com. Actually, I used to write for Pitchfork, but I broke it off 'cuz I needed my space. Bi-weekly deadlines? Damn!
Current playlist? Silver Scooter - The Blue Law; Steve Wynn - Here Come the Miracles; Sloan - Between the Bridges; And You Will Know us by the Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes; Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Spanish Dance Troupe; and The Joel Plaskett Emergency - Down by the Khyber. Also, the new Bowie, Costello, Waits and Wilco discs.
Top Five Favorite Albums of All Time? Elvis Costello - My Aim is True; David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust; The Beatles - Abbey Road; The Pixies - Doolittle; and Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister.
Do You Have A Makeout Club Profile? Why or why not? Lurker only, no profile. To paraphrase Britney, I'm no longer a J-Date, but not yet a Makeout Club. Ha ha. Umm, I mean, make-out what? Never heard of it.
First show/concert you ever went to? Bob Dylan and Tom Petty at the Hartford Civic Center.
Favorite show/concert of all time? Now THAT's tough. Maybe Ryan Adams at the Paradise, Boston last year? No, wait, definitely Elvis Costello at the Orpheum, Boston in '99.
Favorite Drink? Toasted Almond.
If you were stranded on a desert island, without food, with the staff of Bettawreckonize, who would you eat first? Probably Tim (No offense, but he's got a bit more meat to him than any of the other staffers I know.)
