Calvin Johnson to tour
The founder of K Records and the Dub Narcotic recording studio released his latest sonic stick sculpture last year with the Sons of the Soil, following a couple of acoustic solo works. For more of Johnson's unmannered charm, check out the Beat Happening, his collaborations with Doug Martsch in the Halo Benders, and the left-field funk of Dub Narcotic Sound System.

Back in the day my friend asked Calvin if the Halo Benders would make another album because he was such a big Built To Spill fan, and Calvin said: "Dude. The Halo Benders and Built To Spill are two totally different bands. Hate to tell you."
Did he really say dude? I can just imagine it. ( Though the Martsch guitar sound definitely surfaces.)
I'm totally catching Calv here in Providence. What stunning luck that he's playing in a crappy room in a basement on my campus.
The way I was always told the story included "dude."
Where do you go? RISD? Brown?
that comment is pretty funny.
