Articles: 82

Nate Patrin’s writing has appeared in several far-flung corners of music critic circles, ranging from Pitchfork to SPIN to the Seattle Weekly and the Minneapolis/St. Paul City Pages. Quiz him on what his favorite record is, and he’ll typically ask if he can narrow it down by era, genre and region, and even then he’ll wind up mulling over a couple dozen candidates. Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele, the Stooges’ Fun House and Miles Davis’ On the Corner, for starters.
