New Flags Interviews Max Goldberg

"[T]here are critics who I read whose erudition boggles my mind, if I’m reading Jonathan Rosenbaum or the really great Australian critic Adrian Martin, I feel like they’re doing a totally different thing than I am. I feel like I’m the hack saxophone player watching John Coltrane play."--Max Goldberg.

Ashraf Rijal interviews his ol' college mate at his site New Flags, where--wonder of wonders--I discover Max used to play in a college band Stop Plate Tectonics.
