Peter Margasak
Bio:
I’ve been a staff writer at the
Chicago Reader since 1996, which is when I started writing the Post No Bills column. It ran until 2004 and was reborn a few years ago as my
Reader blog. I've written about all kind of styles and music-related topics over the years, from
proto-punkers to
rabid record collectors to
jazz drummers. My work has also appeared in the
New York Times,
Rolling Stone,
Spin,
DownBeat, and on National Public Radio’s
All Things Considered. I also appear on the third Friday of each month as a guest on WBEZ’s
Radio M program.
