Metafilter's own flapjax at midnite was interviewed by an English language Japanese webzine named gyaku. Check out flapjax's generous contributions to mefi music here. Do yourself a favor and listen.

Um, I think you're looking for MetaTalk which is five doors down.

No.

Thanks for the link, and congrats, flapjax.

Terminal Verboisty: I don't think so at all. The post is not about metafilter, it is about someone who happens to be a member. This is perfectly appropriate for the blue.

Sir flapjax at midnite, please, he is now part of the Royal Court of MetaFilter Music.

Not only a good interview, but great pictures, man, the one in Benin and the one as a kid with the drums are fantastic. It was a really cool way to get to know a little more about you. (and realizing you think all those people at Music are not your friends. Good to know that, I'll have that in mind next time I post a comment on your songs ; )

Now, seriously, what a cool thing, flapjax, congratulations.

Great article. It's so nice to read a really thoughtful, in-depth interview with a musician. What an interesting background f_a_m has. It's evident just from the MeFi Music posts that he's drawing on an understanding of roots music that's both deep and sophisticated - cool to read about how he thinks about his work.

Thanks, friends and neighbors! And with any luck, this little FPP on yours truly will also result in LOTS MORE TRAFFIC to MeFi Music, and MeFiers will discover lots more of the fine sonic offerings there, so generously provided by so many of the talented folks here at MetaFilter.
