In Up & Coming tonight:
Joe Pernice, John Cunningham(Tractor) Joe Pernice does a number of things well. His volume on the Smiths' Meat Is Murder in the 33 1/3 series is a gray, windswept novella that outlines its teen-angst plot with real empathy, and he's just followed that with a stand-alone novel, It Feels So Good When I Stop, which is lighter in tone. Pernice's new album of the same name incorporates some of the book's passages, read by the author, as well as covers of songs mentioned in the text. But Pernice is best known as one of the indie world's great singer-songwriters; while this appearance will concentrate on the new work, let's hope he breaks out some gems from his Pernice Brothers and Scud Mountain Boys catalog, as well.
