11 Questions with... John Doe

**drumroll, please**

For the latest "11 preguntas" (¿Hablas español?) we are proud to present none other than our pal Mr. John Doe.  Doe, of course, needs no introduction...

But perhaps you do need an introduction to John's latest (and, in Oscar's opinion, best) solo release, A Year In the Wilderness - which is out now on YepRoc.  You can buy it here or download it on iTunes...  Get this fucking record.  Trust me.  ...He got some great folks to contribute to the album as well - Dave Alvin, Jill Sobule, Kathleen Edwards, Dan Auerbach (from The Black Keys), Greg Leisz and Aimee Mann among 'em.

Also, you should grab John's two contributions to the soundtrack of Todd Haynes' recent acclaimed bizarro Dylan (don't call it a biopic) flick I'm Not There.  Definitely worth the two bucks to download them...
