SOUNDGARDEN

I'm not sure how, but I got on Soundgarden kick a few weeks ago...only the first few records still do it for me; UltraMega OK, Screaming Life/Fopp and Louder Than Love. I love that early stuff.

Jason Jessee 1988

Because the Minutemen, Santa Cruz, Jim Phillips and Jason Jessee were a lethal combo.

From PiL: First Issue

Lydon's anthem that cast aside the Pistols' legacy and declared a more interesting and more sophisticated group, Public Image Limited.

From 1979.

Six Stair Super 8 Scraps

Great stuff from the boys at Six Stair, who've also been doing the Grosso/Loveletters series for Off The Wall TV.

House Industries celebrates the craft of Photo-Lettering’s past while presenting it in the context of contemporary relevance. David Dodde’s prodigious hand-printed panels and substantial scrims mingle with custom lithographic layers and fascinating alphabetic fixtures by fanatical fabricators Marc Wiegers and Roger VanTill of Greenwood Studios. Sprinkled throughout the exhibit are carefully excavated and curated historical Photo-Lettering components including original films, rare specimen books and ceramic artifacts.

Disposable Heroes Live

There's always inspiration to be found in music. One of my favorite Metallica tunes, especially as performed above in 1985.
