Retraction
I said, some time ago (I'd look up the link, but who cares?), that it was Leslie who introduced me to Sleater-Kinney. Now, at the risk of looking stupid, as well as losing Frank's friendship by publically posting what he believed to be private correspondence, I give you Frank's rebuttal to my Sleater-Kinney assertion, in his own words:
"Casually browsing your blog, I couldn't help but notice that on October 5th you credit Leslie with introducing you to the Sleighter-Kinney album "One Beat." I'm pretty sure that I introduced you to that album, and that in fact doing so was my first act upon arriving in Los Angeles, since it had been released a week previous and I'd bought it to listen to on the road trip out here.He's right, of course. It was his copy. It just seems like a band Leslie would be into, right? With the grrl power and all. And the Canada. Oh, well. There you have it, folks. I have a poor memory.
I'm fairly certain, actually, that I introduced Leslie to that album, who was already a fan but had not yet heard the new CD. In any case, I'm relatively positive that it was my copy of the CD that you burned for yourself."
