S: Oh, the Chronicle (The omparison being discussed was writen by Raoul

Tony: I know he doesn't know what he's talking about.
M: How did you guys all end up in New York? [italic]
Marcellus: It's like a magnet.
M: That's where I'm heading after high school. I want to go to school there. [italic]
Tony: You'll be distracted. It's where everything is.
Marcellus: That's why I went there. I wanted to be where there was a lot of exciting things going on.
M: How old were you when you moved there? [italic]
Marcellus: 19.
Tony: Me too.
S: Adventurous. And you? [italic]
Alec: I lived all over. My father was a musician, so I had to live with
him after I lived with my mother for a while - his turn to take care of
me - so I ended up in New York, I don't know, early Eighties, right at
the end of the big punk scene.
S: Jennifer wanted me to ask if you ever got called the Marcellus Hall Blues
Explosion. [italic]
Marcellus: It hasn't gotten that far yet.
Tony: The Blues Implosion, you mean.
Marcellus: Why would anyone say that?
S: You've gotten a lot of comparisons, or at least I've read a lot. I don't think
they're valid but they're there. [italic]
Tony: We were just talking about that. Should I just lay it down on the
table again?
S: If you'd like to. [italic]
Tony: We are from the same town, on the same label, we're good
friends, we play in the same practice space, we've been around longer -
that doesn't mean anything, Pussy Galore was a big influence- not
even an influence, just something that is graet- but as far as sound, the
only thing that's similar is the fact that somebody could say we're both
blues-based. We have totally dfferent styles of songs.
Marcellus: There's huge differences You probably know them if you
S: You got grouped with them geographically.
Tony: The New York sound, yeah.
