what does it mean and what can you do about it

I interviewed Glenn Mercer of the reunited Feelies back when they opened for Sonic Youth in Battery Park and after some media kerfuffles trying to get it printed, it finally ended up at PopMatters. This is probably the smoothest-flowing interview I've ever done, but both Pitchfork and A.V. Club passed on it as too inside-baseball. Either way, I swear I didn't know Mercer and I went to the same college. I presume his tuition was lower.
