On Friday, we posted the first installment of our extensive interview with Sean Gray and Chris Berry of Fan Death Records. Here’s the other half of the conversation, in where Gray and Berry elaborate on Fan Death’s sense of humor, their definition of DIY and what bands they’ve been listening to and loving. They also address their much publicized comments on their disdain for D.C. bands.

In honor of retail holiday Record Store Day, this Saturday, Three Stars is once again dedicating the month of April to interviewing the people behind local record labels. Our first conversation is with Chris Berry and Sean Gray. Their record collections don’t reflect one sound or genre and neither do the releases that they’ve put out on their imprint, Fan Death Records. In fact, Gray and Berry talked to us at such length that we’re doing something unprecedented for Three Stars: printing their interview in two parts. In today’s first installment: thoughts on college radio during their tenure at WMUC, the role of their third label head and why DNA Test Fest is taking a break this year.
