I was cleaning out my work desk when I came across a Deerhunter album which I had not listened to in a while. I also found this here ticket stub, so I took it as a sign to throw on some of the Hunters. Starting to get into them again, especially the tune found below. So fkn killer.
If I am not mistaken I believe Ned and I went to this show to see TIMES NEW VIKING as the opening band. Great show all around.
Today is the last day at this great office of ours. As usual, I forgot that today is the last day so I have a lot of packing to do. I am going to miss this dark corner of mine, but I think it will be good to be a part of the general population at the new place.
My buddy Steve is releasing an album he recorded which is the soundtrack/companion album to a comic he and his friend have created. Steve got a hold of me a couple of months back to help him out with the cover art for this vinyl release. It was all his vision, and I just helped with the imagery, and layout. We are pretty happy with the way it turned out.
Check out the treephones Facebookand Bandcamp pages, where you can order the album and comic.
Here is the layout I did with Steve for the cover of the comic.
UPDATE: Steve dropped off a copy for me. These look pretty great in person.
Sub Pop has just reissued the debut album from Pissed Jeans, and they made a video for the killer jam BORING GIRLS. Crank this shits. Buy this shits. I am making a trip to Orange Monkey post work.
UPDATE: I hit up my beloved Encore friday night and picked up this slab of vinyl for 20 buck. Piss yellow vinyl.
My trusty jPod was on shuffle this morning during my morning commute, and Sonic Youth came on. This tune put a big goofy happy smile on my face. Fucking classic chune.
I took the previous VHS art I made for this years JBTV Special, and did something new with it. I found several clear sheets of paper I bought for screen printing, and I decided to print out the art I made onto that, and beneath it I would put actual Christmas wrapping paper. The idea being that each tape (all 3 of them!!) would have its own unique cover art. Below are some photos of my first mock up. I am thinking of taking white out to the other side of the clear sheet to make the text more readable. I just cant find my white out.
UPDATE: I updated the artwork, which I think looks nicer. I removed the previous images that were here and have added the latest. Once I colour in some white spots with white out I will add those images as well, but for now this is what it looks like.
YET ANOTHER UPDATE:
I thought of another cool idea, where I would recreate Billy's drawing from Silent Night Deadly Night for the insert of this VHS. You will be able to see this image when you open up the VHS box.
Here is a screenshot from the film
I found a crayon Photoshop brush and redrew it. I put my name instead of Billy...natch.
