Music Shit / See, it's not just records...

« on: April 15, 2009, 01:41:18 PM »

This all sounded too familiar:

The way many photobooks are being marketed is the perfect capitalist wet dream. Small quantities mixed with the hype that if you miss out in the very beginning, that same book will be very expensive in just a matter of months. This increases pressure to act quickly with clouded judgment and the wrong reasoning.

I had a funny moment with a friend who approached me in a store carrying a book that I would never have thought he'd be interested in. I skeptically asked him if he liked the work and he replied, "I feel like if I don't get it now then I'll never have the chance to really know whether I like it or not." That pretty much sums it up right there.

 From the 5B4 Blog. Pretty great piece.

Too bad for me I collect records and photobooks, though I'm not nearly as bad about photobooks as I am records.

Non-Music Shit / Twilley's Tour Manager

« on: March 31, 2009, 09:58:53 AM »

So I'm at this photo festival thing in Palm Springs. Sitting around this morning I hear this guy say, "Yeah, I was tour manager for a bands, like the Mama & Papas, Crosby Still Nash & Young and the Dwight Twilley Band."

WTF? I talk to him a little. He's surprised I know who Twilley is and tells me how he met him and Phil Seymour right when they moved to the West Coast from Oklahoma.

That's all. Never expected anything like that here.

Anyone seen them? Are they any good? Can they get away with playing Teenage Depression? For that matter, how'd they get away with it back in the '70s?

Non-Music Shit / I am What I Eat blog

« on: January 13, 2009, 10:43:37 AM »

Not my blog, but generally a good idea:

Guy takes pictures of everything he eats all year.

This would be far more interesting if Steve Beat or Andy or someone like that was doing it though.

Used Records For Sale/Auctions/Wantlists / Zerox Records Contact?

« on: December 04, 2008, 12:08:03 PM »

Anybody have contact information for Zerox Records?

They did a knock-out 2xLP reissue of the AK-79 comp for the recent reunion show, as well as a Scavengers LP and Proud Scum 7". I have a line on these, but wanna hedge my bets, make sure I'm able to pick up copies. If they have any left, they're gonna be fucking expensive, so if people wanna go in on them, I'd consider being the point person for a group US order.
