Interview with Joe Pug, Playing Melting Point Thursday
Chicago-based songwriter Joe Pug returns to town to play the Melting Point tonight. Flagpole recently caught up with the folkie for a quick chat.
Flagpole: In the early part of your career, you sent CDs by mail to anyone that requested them. Do you think you’re reaping the benefits from that now or is it hard to measure?
Joe Pug: Well, I think both. That’s how we got our foot in the door. That’s how we got our original kernel of an audience. But, how much that has had an effect down the years? That’s impossible to measure. You just have to throw a bunch of shit at the wall and hope that something sticks.

These artists don't work exclusively in footwork and a few notables who don't post often were left out for that reason.

Ciara's "Body Party," based on Ghost Town DJ's 1996 juicy jammer "My Boo," was one of the best tracks of last year, no matter how you heard it—and it came a lot of ways. These were my five favorite takes on the euphoric, Grammy-ineligible record.
