Kate still puts his shows on occasionally, but I have a hard time watching them.

For those of you who like my travelogue posts: Last week Kate and I went to Athens, GA to see Camper Van Beethoven play a reunion show in celebration of the 40th anniversary of "Telephone Free Landslide Victory.

I'm thinking about properly archiving my Nix Comics correspondence. A little daunting as I have around 400+ conversations with each of my regular contributors like @bobraystarker.bsky.social... Who sent me this headshot of Bus Stop Ned early on in our conversations.

Still running the 500 Cents off sale and I've added a section of "Used-Dings-Dents" copies!

Every purchase, big or small, helps me avoid using the DEMON KICKSTARTER ever again!

What is your favorite beater in your collection?

This one is mine. Great songs from later in Vincent's career. I got it at Used Kids in the early 90s, for $2.50... so it was already beat up then. Since, it's moved coast to coast with me and accumulated many more dings and dents!

Almost done adding prints of Sketchbook Picture Sleeves to the site for the 500 cents off sale!

Today's suggested pairing is for people who like Patti Smith, Sam & Dave, Werewolves, and Mummies.

Which I assume is all of youse guys...

Working on a DIY slipcase for my Norton Records Stones tribute 45s. (I think I finally have almost all of 'em)

It's very shiny now. It'll be less so once I slap some art on it!
