JR: Yeah, I talked to some other labels, and we talked to a few, but, y’know, I kinda wanted to do it myself and just find someone to do what Nettwerk is doing now. JR: You were asking about starting my own label. My calling card was running out, and I had to switch cards.īE: No big deal. ( pauses) Hey, Will…? Let me call you back in two seconds.Īfter decidedly more than two seconds have passed… They were doing the same thing that Nettwerk’s doing…except that they got all the money from the records. I was kind of doing that, anyway, with Rykodisc. I finished the contract.īE: And you just decided to do your own thing…? They’re marketing and distributing the record. ( All of Rouse’s previous albums were released on Rykodisc or one of their subsidiaries.)

The first thing I noticed, though, is that you’re on Nettwerk now. You never know.īE: I think I’m innocent in this particular case.īE: Well, as it stands at the moment, I’ve only been able to hear a few tracks from your new album, but what I’ve heard, I’ve loved…and I’ve got everything you’ve put out in the past, so…īE: Absolutely. I thought maybe we went to the same school. JR: Huh? Oh, no, there was this guy named Will Harris who was always getting called down to the principal’s office. JR: Oh, God, and they called you to the principal’s office?īE: Yeah, me and all the other guys involved. Did you ever get called down to the principal’s office when you were younger?īE: Uh…only once, when I was in third grade, when I was part of a group that accidentally broke a window in a classroom door.

I wanted to make sure I wasn’t dragging you down too much. JR: Ah, I had a couple more interviews before this one.īE: Oh, good. His attempts to chat with Bullz-Eye from Valencia, Spain, were thwarted at one point, but, by God, he persisted and called us back, giving us the opportunity to needle him about his new disc, his profile in Europe, his “borrowing” of a riff from Johnny Marr, and what it’s like to work with Brad Jones and Kurt Wagner.īE: So how much press have you been doing today? Josh Rouse, in addition to being a singer/songwriter who’s rightfully received no end of plaudits for his albums on Rykodisc (not to mention his latest release, Subtitulo, on Nettwerk), is a man who knows how merciless and unforgiving an international calling card can be.
