1. Applause and high praise for those music labels combining new vinyl releases with a free digital download. Two for the price of one! I've been enjoying the new LP by John Doe & the Sadies on the turntable and in the car on the ipod. Country Club is the name of it and its 15 sweet classic country covers. Stop the World and Let Me Off !! Take These Chains From My Heart!! Detroit City!! Awesome.
2. Record Covers - I'm probably not the only fool to buy a record just for the cover. I've been lucky with that over the years. Chronic Town (rem), Discipline (king crimson), Wh'appen (english beat), Drinkin, Lechin, Lyin (boss hog..hehehe). Well here's another flat beauty collage from Robert Pollard's new Circus Devils record, Gringo.
3. Speaking of Pollard, I just bought one of his original collages. Pollard has been selling off tons of his collages and I feel lucky to have one. It is called "Ladies and Instruments."
