Shortly after I wrote a review of Bless 1's album Starving Artist for OhWord a few weeks ago (read it here if you missed it the first time around), I was contacted by Miles Raymer, a writer for the Chicago Reader. He was in the process of putting together a profile of Bless for his column Sharp Darts and asked me to give him a few quotes for the article. Bless is my dude so I would have done it regardless, but I was particularly excited about it being the Chicago Reader. I grew up reading one of the columns in their newspaper, The Straight Dope, and have always had a certain fascination with the Reader even though it's virtually impossible to find a copy of it out here in Jersey. Anyway, the article went up on Friday, and it's a pretty good read:
