	CD Baby: SPIV: By Definition
		The Olympia-based Pop Sweatshop label signed SPIV in 1999, no doubt aware that the band's name is an obscure word meaning a method of getting by without working; a popular concept, especially in college towns.
		The Spiv touring unit is different from the rhythm section that recorded the album, but plans have been made to record a second album.
		Emerging from the hipster hotbed of Olympia, WA, Spiv have graced us with an interesting musical pastiche that jumps from Nirvana-esque grunge ("All the Same") to Billy Childish blues ("Hornet's Nest") in the blink of an eye.

		That would have to be Chris Barber, the man who started Spiv back in 1997.
		It’s also not demoralizing to know that Stringfellow has a guilty pleasure like Spiv goin’ on.
		Drum duties on Don’tcha Know are split between Toad “Too Tuff” Tobin and Sean Sippel, with Dehja Clayton giving a hand on backup vocals with “VIPs of the Street.” Barber definitely tries some interesting avenues on “VIPs of the Street” and “Because I’m in Love,” making his record more diverse that originally thought possible.
