Obscure outsider oddities and private press music, anything quirky lo-fi that in some way surprises.
Pinned
Well after over a month of a totally debilitating nightmare Covid experience, hopefully can start getting back to somewhat normal. Covid is no joke after what I went through.

These albums are ones I saw going to thrift stores and resale record stores.

What is the definition of noise?
When does music cross over into noise?
Is dissonance enough?
I cut samples of various badly played instruments and juxtapose them with no regard to harmony. Is that noise?
Or does it have to be the traditional wall of sound?

They say there’s a mold that grows on bread
It’ll put a circus inside of your head
In 26-hours you’ll be okay or
Balloon-popped by the DEA.

Firkins full of toxic swill
Fracking fluid up to the gills
Say it’s safe, if no one will
Raise liquid-bread to your p.r. skills

If you find yourself in NYC you should stop whatever you’re doing, take yourself to Desert Island, get my comics, read them the minute you step outside the store (in the street, yes, it’s perfect reading weather today) and then write to tell me exactly how you feel about them.

At Costco, some old hippie saw my Mickey Rat tee. “Robert Armstrong!” He smiled, and said he has boxes of underground comix. I recommended the Crumb bio. On the way out, the lady checking my receipt commented on my shirt. “You know him?” I asked. “No,” she said, “but it’s cool.”

Back in 2019 was the first time I went to a Japanese laundromat and I knew no Japanese. It was fun! I think the instructions are 1) have a mermaid steal your shirt 2) place giant novelty cookie in slot 3) watch clothes boink 4) dress up mermaid. That’s what I did anyway.

One of us always tells the ketchup and the other only tells mustard. How do you tell which is which by asking only one question.

I'm gonna try to do some smaller comics that just mainly depict little snippets of RFF's setting for a bit while I get other work done. Hope you like it!
