Metro, 9/8/06

In today's Metro weekend: The Valerie Project, Greg Weeks of Espers' newly-composed live score to the Czech surrealist fairy tale Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (page 18); my surrealist fairy tale of an interview with Kool Keith aka Dr. Octagon (page 22); a severely truncated version of my interview with Peter Tork - yes, I talked witha Monkee (page 22); and a profile of World Party's sardonic and now aneurysm-free Karl Wallinger (page 23). Interviews with MSTRKRFT and Joan of Arc (which would have run yesterday) and a profile of Bruce Walsh, Metro staffer and Fringe fest playwright, all got axed into the ether. I may post some portions of them and more of the Tork interview soon.
